Hello, fellow explorers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.

We’re excited to share Elin-related updates that have arrived from across Ylva this month as well.

This is the June edition of “Elin State of the Game,” released on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), as always. With the festival’s conclusion, summer officially begins!

This Nyanth’s Update

Check it all out!

No new stable update has been rolled out this month yet. So, we’ll highlight some features from the last stable update that we didn’t cover, as well as some content from the Nightly version currently in development.
(For comprehensive update details, see Ylvapedia)

Ouch! It’s piping hot!

First, let’s examine the previous stable version. You can now craft floors of bubbling, boiling magma!
Used effectively, this could enable you to create maps that were previously challenging to replicate, such as castles floating on lava or impressive volcanoes.

In the walls

Next, in the Nightly version, races like ghosts and phantoms can now traverse walls.
When exploring Nefia, watch out for ambushes from within the walls.

Are you ready for summer vacation?

A vehicle ideal for the warm season is being added to the raffle prizes!
Keep your fingers crossed and try to win it to fully embrace the vacation spirit.

Cats! Cats! Cats!

Great news for adventurers who love soft cat fur and the scent of bread or popcorn: an incredibly large cat has been found in North Tyris!
Several other new cat breeds have also been confirmed. Just keep some Churyu in your pocket, and the cats will come right to you.

Rumors of a priceless, shining, truly ultra-rare item

Whispers have begun circulating among some adventurers about a new treasure: shoes that bring happiness to the wearer. It’s said they can be obtained, on extremely rare occasions, from a swift, elusive monster. In fact, some doubt if such a rare item actually exists. But if you manage to obtain them, you could say that happiness is already in your grasp.

An easy quiz for an adventurer, wouldn’t you say?

If you can answer this quiz with ease, you can proudly call yourself a true adventurer of Ylva.

This time, the illustration by Elin illustrator NZ is the concept art for Farris, a singer who brings a cheerful breeze to the player’s base.
With her seasonal outfits and the sight of Corgon being hung out to dry with the laundry, you can really imagine the lively everyday life at the base.
