Patch notes for 6.2 are now live! Buckle up and enjoy the ride — it’s going to be a long read.
This patch drops the highly anticipated installment of Pandaemonium’s next tier: Abyssos! It’s important to note that the Savage version of these raids will not be available until August 30th, 03:00 PDT.
Island Sanctuary will also be making its debut, and players will be in for a massive treat! The Patch notes detail the types of crafting and gathering that will be available, the types of facilities that can be built, as well as the requirements to visit friends’ islands.
This patch also highlights some very exciting QOL updates! Notable changes (and my personal favorite) include the revamp to the Actions and Traits UI. You may now view job rotations as presented in the form of flowcharts, and are able to choose between a compact view and a detailed view. Another highly requested addition is recast timers, which will be displayed in the middle of an action as it is used.
Speaking of jobs, some highlights to job action changes include Astrologian being guaranteed to redraw a card with a different sign. Astrologians rejoice; you can finally reliably get the best effect out of your Astrodyne! Special shoutout to Sage‘s Holos for getting a brand new partywide shield on top of their existing damage mitigation.
On the flipside, players who had been expecting a revision to the PVP Paladin’s colloquially named “Cheese Cover” to easily claim nodes will likely be disappointed. In arenas with nodes such as Onsal Hakair, Paladins will still be able to cover a player of their choice, of whom will be invincible as they claim nodes uninterrupted. However, there are still classes that can bypass this, such as Dancer and Reaper.
Check out the full extent of the notes below!
Patch 6.2 Notes
We are proud to present the patch notes for Buried Memory, which follows the Warrior of Light and their companions on a perilous journey into the void.
This patch also introduces the next raid dungeon Pandæmonium: Abyssos, a challenging new trial, and Island Sanctuary for those adventurers seeking a taste of the slow life.
* Additional features will be implemented in future updates:
Variant dungeons, criterion dungeons, Manderville weapon quests, and Omicron tribal quests are scheduled to be released in Patch 6.25.
* This page previously indicated that Pandæmonium: Abyssos (Savage) would be accessible on Tuesday, August 30 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT); however, the correct release date is August 30 at 3:00 a.m. (PDT).
* We had previously listed an incorrect time for the Savage release. The correct time is August 30 at 3:00 a.m. (PDT); we had originally planned for this timing to stabilize login conditions and to avoid congestion in certain duties during the weekly reset at 1:00 a.m. (PDT). We apologize for any confusion the error may have caused.

Your Vision
Realizing your vision will help you make your sanctuary the best it can be. Visions will appear as objectives in your duty list. As you realize visions, additional goals and development features will become available.
Islekeep’s Index
The islekeep’s index is an island-specific HUD element that allows you to confirm important information, switch gameplay modes, and manage your island’s various features.
Modes
Your selected mode influences how you interact with features and creatures on your island.
Main Menu
The main menu consists of buttons by which you can confirm important information and manage various aspects of your island.
Basic Information
Confirm your sanctuary rank and available currencies.
Sanctuary Rank
Your sanctuary rank indicates your experience with subsisting in an island environment and improving your personal sanctuary. Earn island experience by engaging in various activities on your island. The higher your rank, the more features and options will become available to you.
Currency
As development of your island sanctuary progresses, you will earn two types of currency─Seafarer’s Cowries and Islander’s Cowries. These are Cieldalaes-specific currencies to be used at shops that become available on your island.
Hideaway
The hideaway is your base of operations on your island. Here you may build facilities, care for animals, grow crops, and more. You may expand your hideaway as you make progress perfecting your island sanctuary.
Activities on Your Island Sanctuary
Gathering
Players can collect resources and materials on their island, which are then recorded in the islekeep’s index. You can also confirm resource locations and necessary tools.
Crafting
Accessing the Sanctuary Crafting Log, you can create items using the materials you’ve acquired in your time spent on your island.
Construction
A variety of structures can be built on your island. Players must first access the logboard in front of a vacant plot, wherein they can confirm what materials are required and how long construction will last.
Crops
It is possible to plant and water seeds to grow a variety of produce.
Pasture
You can capture animals on your island and send them to live on the pasture. By taking good care of these animals, you can collect materials from them, which can be used in a variety of ways.
Releasing Minions
One of each minion, up to 40, can be released to roam free in the various areas of your island. As they while away the hours wandering about the island, you may find they behave differently when left to their own devices.
Facilities
The Cozy Cabin
The cozy cabin is the primary facility of your hideaway. Here you may access the orchestrion to play your favorite tunes, exchange various items with merchants stationed there, and more.
Workshop
The workshop provides a place for mammets in your employ to create handicrafts out of the materials obtained on your island.
After conveying a schedule of production to the tactful taskmaster, handicrafts will be automatically created by the mammets on staff in the workshop.
The Granary
After constructing a granary, you may send a team of exploratory mammets on foraging expeditions to gather materials.
After choosing your desired expedition area and the number of days you wish your mammets to forage, they will venture out to gather materials, returning once per day until the foraging expedition is over.
As you continue to engage in the above activities on your island sanctuary, it will be possible to renovate your facilities to higher levels.
Further explanations of island sanctuary features can be found as you continue to realize your vision or by viewing the islekeep’s index.

You can leave your island sanctuary at any time by boat (X:9.2 Y:28.3) or via use of Return and Teleport.
