NEW Feature - Hireable NPCs - Each island now has randomly spawning NPCs that you can speak to and hire for Guild Drakes. By default the hireable NPCs are procedurally generated like Wild Bred are, but in the Gameplay section of options menu you can change the behavior to pick from your playable characters list as well. They will persist until hired unless you indicate you aren’t interested.
NEW Feature - Ammo usage - The Stinger rifle now requires ammunition to fire, and the type of ammo now matters depending on the species being cured; optimal ammo type should only take one injection, but otherwise two - though the one will slow them. You must use ammo to perform a cure (no longer can sneak up to cure). Various ammo prices and amounts have changed to accommodate this. More stores also stock ammo, although Timathi by far has the biggest inventory.
NEW Feature - Random sailing loot - The passage of time on and off the sailing map now will cause random flotsam that can be looted throughout the map. The loot will persist where it spawned until collected.
