Recent Gameplay Updates
This is an overview of features described in the supplied source release notes. It is not a live deployment-status feed. The running bot's /bot changelog is the better place to confirm what has actually shipped.
October 4, 2026 — V2.8 changes
- New late-game worlds Heart of Arvee and Arvee Everafter, with additional encounters and gear.
- Item collections with persistent discoveries and one-time world-set rewards through
/index collections. - Craft Max for up to 100 eligible recipe batches.
- Skill tree quantity upgrades of 1, 5, or 10 levels.
- Improved enchantment behavior, rarity-based capacity, and Upgrade Core extra slots.
/salvage recoverfor selected extra gear copies and their recoverable enchantments.- Membership Auto Prestige for eligible plans and ARVEE Partner profile badges.
The October 4 documentation says these changes were tested locally but the bot had not been restarted or the slash commands deployed at the time of those notes.

Checking current availability
Use /help, /bot changelog, and the relevant gameplay screens. If a newly documented command is missing, it may still require deployment or may have changed since the source snapshot.
