1.71 - Update 1.71 March 16, 2021

1. The Crafter Directory

With Update 1.71, we're adding a crafter directory feature. This list of crafters will allow potential clients to easily contact crafters who wish to offer their services.

Our goal is to facilitate social interactions among players and showcase crafting.

Crafters can configure the directory from the profession interface. There they can define which professions they want to be contacted about and what the minimum recipe level is that they are willing to craft.

Customers can access the list of crafters available by interacting with the stands in the main workshops in the cities of Bonta, Brakmar, Amakna, and Sufokia.

This interface lets you select a recipe and display the crafters who are willing to craft it.

2. Pet Skins

There's a new pet skin system you can use to easily change your pets' appearance (it essentially works like the one used for mount skins).

Our goal is to no longer monetize pets that provide bonuses to characters (they may eventually be only available in-game) and to offer cosmetic items in the shop that let you change pets' appearance.

After Update 1.71 is released, it will no longer be possible to get pets with bonuses from the WAKFU shop.

Only pet skins will be available in the shop.

Pet skins are items that can be consumed to be added to the list of pet skins a character knows.

Pet skins that have been learned do not take up space in a character's inventory, and they can be applied to or removed from a pet at will.

To provide a smooth transition to this new system, we made the following decisions:

Pets already owned have not been changed.
Pets that were sold in the shop and had bonuses unavailable in the game will be obtainable in-game after Update 1.72 (slated for around mid-year).
Pet dyes are freely accessible from the pet interface (for pets that have access to dyes).
Pet accessories are freely accessible from the pet interface (for pets that have access to accessories).
Dyes and accessories that have not been applied to pets and are in characters' inventories can be recycled into powders.

3. End-of-Fight Screen

The end-of-fight screen has been improved:

There's an optional mode that lets you display opponents (monsters or player characters).
An optional "compact" mode lets you display a simplified end-of-fight screen that only shows information about the character(s) controlled by the player.
Class images are displayed next to character names to make them easier to identify.
Main characters and Heroes can be differentiated by icons.
Stasis level is displayed when the combat took place in a dungeon.
Failed challenges have been made easier to read.
Experience gauges and gains are displayed better.
More loot can be displayed simultaneously.
An icon identifies characters who died during the combat.

A devblog article is available here.

4. Combat

A new characteristic has been added: Indirect Damage. It is visible in the character's characteristics interface. This characteristic increases the percentage of damage inflicted by glyphs, poisons, and traps (anything that isn't directly inflicted by a spell or weapon).
Resurrection spells return the revived fighter to their original position in the combat timeline.

5. Classes

5.1. Xelor

Revamp Summary
