Enshrouded Melodies of the Mire Update Patch Notes
Keen Games launches the Melodies of the Mire update for Enshrouded, introducing the Blackmire sub-biome, craftable musical instruments, daggers, and individual quest progression in multiplayer. The patch also brings extensive class balance changes for mages, warriors, and rangers.
Enshrouded receives its second major update, adding the level 13-15 Blackmire sub-biome, dual-wielded daggers, player-based quest progression, and craftable musical instruments. Version v.0.7.2.0 also overhauls combat balancing across all classes, refines server permissions, and introduces a vanity transmog system.
New Biome and Exploration
A passage in the northern Revelwood leads to the Blackmire, a murky new area filled with towering trees, new quests, enemies, music, and rewards. Players can craft musical instruments to play solo or in groups, which replenishes the rested buff duration. A vanity system allows players to override armor visuals while keeping core stats, and includes options to hide helmets and gloves.
Multiplayer Progression and Server Security
Quests can now be completed individually in multiplayer using a toggleable quest journal. Server hosts can set individual passwords and permissions for user groups to protect base containers, building blocks, terraforming, and flame altars from unwanted interference.
Combat and Class Adjustments
Daggers arrive as a new dexterity-based weapon type featuring a quick stun kick after successful parries. Mage defensive options are reined in, adding an internal cooldown to Blood Magic, reducing wand attack cancel timings, and adjusting wand and staff damage calculations. Warriors gain new skills like Opportunity and Steadfast, two-handed attack chain delays for overhead strikes, and improved parry values. Rangers receive Dagger Master, Magic Arrow, and explosive arrow upgrades alongside Multi Shot enhancements.
World and Quality of Life Improvements
Planting and harvesting speed is increased, while Saffron is removed from Nomad Highlands recipes. Vukah and Scavenger factions receive behavioral updates, reduced stamina for armored and shielded enemies, and rebalanced poison attacks. Fast travel points on Ancient Spires now unlock correctly across servers.
Why this patch matters
The Melodies of the Mire update significantly broadens Enshrouded with a new zone and highly requested quality-of-life additions, while enforcing stricter combat balancing across all three primary character classes.
