Hello, Explorers! ⛵

Version 1.1.0 is here!

I’ve prepared an update with some new minor quests, a couple of new NPCs to meet, new buildings, and some Quality of Life improvements and bug fixes.

As always, huge thanks to Zeke (@MrDaGrover) for the constant testing, ideas and support ❤️! At this point I guess everyone knows RAR Islands wouldn’t be what it is without him!

Let’s dive in!

📋 Changelog#

🧭 New Content#

  • The Explorer’s Chain: a wandering Explorer starts a new questline. Deliver a Nautical Chart of an island they haven’t visited, then find them again on that island type to hear their next destination… Complete the chain and let’s sea what happens 🤗
  • Adventurer: a new NPC that trades for swords and shields matching specific requirements (tier, minimum stat, sometimes a specific binding). Great for offloading spare gear and keeping older loot useful.
  • Alchemist requests: the Alchemist now occasionally asks for a specific Potion or Vial in exchange for a reward (and their shop stays locked until you satisfy it!).
  • Curiosities: new collectible items… keep an eye out, they show up in some unexpected places!
  • New buildings: villages can now host a Zoo, plus unique structures tied to each island type. Push a village to max level to find out which building its island unlocks.
  • Animal taming: wild animals can now be tamed by feeding them. Feed them enough times and they’ll join you on your adventures!

🎨 Quality of Life#

  • Requests screen filter: filter your requests by Ready or In Progress status.
  • Secret Guild Challenge pinned: your active S-Rank challenge always sits at the top of the Requests list.
  • Guild Badges title: the Guild Badges tab title now shows your progress at a glance (e.g. Guild Badges (2/100)).
  • Dim Sailing animation: new accessibility setting to dim the sailing screen.
  • Atlas sorting: Materials, Gatherables and Animals tabs now have sort buttons.
  • Shops’ items sorting improved: now separates Crafting Recipes from the rest of items so that it’s easier to find the Crafting Recipes.
  • Island info bottom sheet improved: now you can mark multiple elements without needing to reopen the sheet multiple times.

🐛 Bug Fixes#

  • Guild Supply Drop perk was announcing rewards but not actually granting them. Now the gold and item both land in your inventory as intended.
  • Luck effect had a few edge cases where the bonus wasn’t being applied correctly.
  • Batch cooking on the Campfire fixed.
  • Wall of Offerings “Add all” was adding one of each item, even the ones you had already offered.

That’s it for 1.1.0!

As always, please share feedback on Discord or Reddit . Your suggestions and bug reports genuinely shape what goes into the next updates 🙏

Have a great one and, as always: sail safe! ⛵

Sea you soon! 🌊
