Patch 1.08.00 introduces the Pond as a new camp feature. The pond is a dedicated Greymane Camp expansion structure that opens up additional fishing and decorative options at the home base. The pond sits alongside the existing camp-improvement structures such as storage chests and crafting stations.
The Baby Wyvern is a new companion pet added in 1.08.00. Unlike the early-game pet system that focuses on stray dogs and cats with the trust-based taming flow, the Baby Wyvern is acquired through an egg collection and hatching mechanic. It is the first pet to use this acquisition path.
Patch 1.08.00 extends Kliff's weapon roster to include muskets and shotguns. Before this patch the long-firearm slots on Kliff's loadout were limited to bows and crossbows in the ranged slot. Muskets and shotguns previously belonged to Damiane's and Oongka's loadouts. After 1.08.00, Kliff can equip these firearm categories in the same ranged slot and ammunition framework as before.
A new tool equipment slot category ships with 1.08.00. The slot sits alongside the existing primary, utility, and ranged slots in the equipment screen and is intended for non-combat utility items used during exploration, gathering, and camp interaction.
Twenty additional small-animal species are added to the pet roster in 1.08.00. They follow the existing miscellaneous-pet flow rather than the dog/cat trust loop or the Baby Wyvern hatching loop.
Patch 1.08.00 ships refinement-system improvements that build on the Extraction feature added in Patch 1.06.00. The 1.06.00 extraction recovery rate for common materials was set at 70 percent; the 1.08.00 patch refines the overall refinement workflow without changing that headline recovery rate.
Fishing mechanics receive improvements alongside the new pond feature. The pond construction option opens additional fishing locations at the camp, which complements the open-world fishing spots.
Chair placement is refined as part of the home and camp decoration tooling that has been iterated on since Patch 1.04.00 added selectable house layouts and storage furniture.
Patch 1.08.00 adds raytraced shadows as an optional graphics setting on supported hardware. This is a separate option from the patch 1.03.00 GPU support work that added Intel Arc compatibility and Intel XeSS 3.0 scaling. Players on capable GPUs can enable raytraced shadows from the graphics settings menu.
Patch 1.08.00 ships a broad set of fixes across UI, combat, and localization. The fixes follow the established post-1.04 cadence of stabilizing core systems while adding new content.
Patch 1.08.00 is the most recent content patch as of May 24, 2026. It follows Patch 1.07.00 (May 15, 2026), which added five Boss Rematch bosses and the Damiane unarmed-combat skills. The April-to-June 2026 Developer Roadmap was completed with Patch 1.05.00; everything from 1.06.00 through 1.08.00 is post-roadmap content.
