No Rest for the Wicked Patch 1 Adds Keybinding and Storage Access
The first early access patch for No Rest for the Wicked brings custom keyboard remapping, direct vendor storage access, and widespread performance optimization.
No Rest for the Wicked receives its first early access update, tackling baseline performance, quality-of-life requests, and control options.
Performance and Technical Overhauls
The patch delivers CPU and GPU optimizations targeting traversal stutter, cinematic loading, and heavy areas. Developers added object preloading, timeslicing systems for streaming performance, and optimized meshes, textures, and visual effects.
Quality of Life and Storage
Vendors and crafting tables can pull resources directly from storage. Storage chests and cupboards hold increased item counts, and inventory sorting groups items into gear, food, consumables, resources, and realm categories.
Combat and Balance Adjustments
Bows consume stamina instead of focus when attacking. Staff attribute scaling, focus-gain enchantments, and health-on-damage enchantments are reduced, while elemental throw rune focus costs rise to 75.
Content Additions and Housing
A new house named The Knot is available near the Sacrament Cemetery for 8 silver, and Tier 3 armor sets join the loot pool. Housing access unlocks immediately after completing the Sacrament quest.
Why this patch matters
Early Access Patch 1 addresses foundational performance issues while delivering inventory and control upgrades.
