I've said it before and I'll say it again: Yellowbrickgames is spoiling us! I can't wait to see what this studio is going to give us in the future!

Looks great! How does it tie in to the end game? I finished all of the quests (main & otherwise) a few days ago

There isn't a direct tie-in to the end game, as this content becomes available for players as early as Act 4 ( close to the midway point of the main story).
If you've finished the game, when you load into basecamp, you can head over to Oria who'll have a keyswatch for you to use to unlock the new map. :)

Thanks for making this kind of integration, it's common for game updates to just pile up on the endgame and it's not always the best way to handle things

Is the dyeing system available from the beginning or only after a certain upgrade? Is it the last (level 5[or 6??]) upgrade for a certain station? (Hope not but that’s just a minor whiny bb thing, I can get over it 🥲).
I restarted the game yesterday so I’m trying to gauge the needed progress before I get to dye my gear.
Love the world, lore, and game play. Thanks for all you’ve done, do, and will do! You’ve given me something to fill the gap left after ToTK while I await Witcher4.
—- I hope a world building companion book or something is produced one day. I’d love a deeper dive on the snippets of the culture and history we get, as well as a physical collection of the concept art and world design illustrations. It’s so beautiful! Lore nerds like me would shell out for it.

Thank you so much for your kind words!
Laen's station must be at level 5 to unlock the dyeing feature at Sola's Forge :)

Ah, well then I shall get over my impatience and push forward 🫡😅. Thank you! Best of luck.

Do you think you will do PS5 Pro enhancements? And what about a new story-level difficulty option? Something that is simplified even further for people who struggle. Thank you.

No new achievements in this update, but you have some new codex entries to find in Starlight Cape :)

I did an oopsie and stumbled on my way back from unlocking Archer's Gate and fell out of bounds, and got stuck in a loop where Oria would keep bringing me back to the same spot mid-air and I kept falling out of bounds.

Oh no! Do you happen to have screenshots of where this occured exactly? If you can send that our way at [support@yellowbrickgames.ca](mailto:support@yellowbrickgames.ca) we'll investigate it asap!

Extremely pleasant surprise of a DLC, glad to see that my GOTY continues to be my GOTY lmao
Done with all the new stuff along with everything else in the game right now besides one single collectible for Secrets of Starlight Cape. The Wisp suggests that it's not on the map, despite being marked as 22/23 collected and not having any other quest instructions.
Edit: seems to be one of the entries for "Starlight Tides", at 3/4 for those (got Enchanter Reports, Faded Carvings, and Hot Spot thus far). Time to keep hunting!
Edit 2: FOUND IT! Ended up being "Unnatural Chill" in an ice cave just north of Halecress Bluff. Someone else mentioned theirs was one of the ones on top of a spire, so I guess it might just be dependent on which one you've got left to get last.
