Happy New Year, from The Santae Team

Silvershade did not travel alone for long.

The Wildroot Beacon, once dormant in Seraphic Meadows, continued to behave strangely. Constantly pulsing at irregular intervals, reacting to unseen forces. With the Meadows behind them and the path ahead uncertain, Silvershade sent the artifact onward to Sienna Canyon for further study.

Orion was already there waiting.

The newly discovered ore from the Fossil Chamber is not only unstable, reactive, and lacking any natural end cap, it has proven impossible to contain or transport through conventional means. It responded to movement, pressure, even proximity, as though aware of its surroundings.

When the Beacon arrived, sealed and secured, its reaction was immediate.

   

Upon removal from its casing, the artifact flared with energy, resonating with the ore in a way neither had displayed before. The material shifted. Light refracted unnaturally. And within the shard’s surface, markings appeared. These appeared to be  deliberate, structured, and entirely unknown.

“This wasn’t meant to stay dormant,” Orion said quietly.

Through continued research, Rose has uncovered five newly unlocked crafting recipes.

  

Four allow artisans to create intricately designed armor, refined through advanced techniques and rare materials. Each piece reflects Santae’s evolving understanding of its own resources.

   

The fifth discovery, however, could not be completed until the Wildroot Beacon reached Orion’s lab.

The interaction between the Beacon and the newly discovered Ore resulted in the formation of a unique Shard, infused with unfamiliar energy and inscribed with markings never before recorded. 

Some discoveries are not meant to be rushed. However, there is a new Hidden Avatar that has been released, perhaps this could be the exception.

Alongside these discoveries, several major system improvements have arrived across Santae:

A Skip Fishing option has been added to the Fishing feature, allowing players to bypass the fishing interaction entirely. This provides a more comfortable and accessible experience while keeping gameplay flexible for everyone.

The Friends Blocking System has been updated to fully respect player boundaries.

If you block another user, you will no longer see any of their trades.

If another user has blocked you, your trades will not appear to them.

This applies across all trade listings and ensures a cleaner, more comfortable trading experience. Thank you to everyone who suggested this improvement.

Quickstocking has been completely rebuilt for speed and ease:

   

Move multiple unique items at once

   

   

And simply start typing what you are looking for and it will automatically filter your results with no page reloading.

  

This is only the beginning.

As Santae continues to shift, new systems, stories, and discoveries will emerge, some of which are expected, others entirely unforeseen. The world is growing, responding, and opening itself in ways we’ve never seen before. Thank you all for being a part of this journey.
