Mechanist Games has announced results for recent City of Steam cross-server PvP events over the last week, including the return to form for the Nexans after some poor results from earlier matches. Details were also revealed for the upcoming 2.6.1. update for the game that will introduce a whole new crafting system, a new in-game currency and more. Read on and don't for get to enter to win a Server Pack in our City of Steam giveaway.
In 2.6.1, we will overhaul the Crafting system; all functions inside it will be reworked and the new interface will be more friendly and easy to understand. Catalyst will be completely unnecessary in the new Crafting system but we are not simply removing it -all Catalysts will turn into something valuable instead. As the development and testing are not completed yet, the preview screenshots are pretty rough (but still can see the difference):
In addition, 2.6.1 will introduce a new in-game currency called Bound Electrum which replaces the old Spiremarks, which still can be viewed on the Shop interface. It looks like Electrum and can be used in exactly the same way (purchasing items from the Electrum Shop, etc), but it’s Purple and bound to your character. Anything purchased with bound electrum is, you guessed it, bound. People with remaining catalysts after the upgrade will exchange them for Bound Electrum, which is a good trade.
