#Update
Good day, traveler!
Finally I can present the news that many have been waiting for some time now. The much desired 'Quest Journal' is finally arriving to Chronicles of Vaeltaja with the new update, but it is just a one part of the 'Ghosts 'n Qualities' update that changes the game's version number to 0.7. There's been some other features that have been requested from time to time and I wanted this update to be the one that finally brings them. But let's start with the 'Quest Journal', which brings couple of features of it's own.
New Features: Quest Journal and Codex
Re-Textured Twin Falls and Lake Road
A one floor dungeon will be added to somewhere in one of the Twin Falls' areas, that will give some proper use for the 'Eye of an Oracle'. You will actually need the 'Eye of the Oracle' to get into the dungeon in the first place.
New Enemy: Ghost
With the new dungeon comes a new enemy: Ghost. The scariest thing about ghosts is that you can't normally see them when exploring dungeons, until you encounter one and the battle starts. But fortunately there is a way to make them visible: the 'Eye of an Oracle'. When you turn on the 'Eye of an Oracle', it will make all the ghosts near the player visible, but only for as long as it is turned on. Ghosts can also appear in other places than dungeons, so it might not be a good idea to take a stroll in the cemetery at night.
New Tool: Spirit Lantern
There's a way to protect yourself from ghosts and it is called 'Spirit Lantern'. Though it can't reveal ghosts like the 'Eye of an Oracle', it can protect the player from their attacks when turned on. If a ghost is encountered while the 'Spirit Lantern' is turned on, the ghost will vanish and a small amount of experience is granted to the party. But 'Spirit Lanterns' are not easy to come by.
Minimap Improvements
The square player icon in the minimap will be replaced with an arrow that will show the direction the party is facing. It's a small change but has a big impact and makes it easier to read the map and to navigate.
