Eterspire’s Seeds of Growth Update Adds a Tree Garden and Smoother Combat

Posted on by

Eterspire’s Seeds of Growth update, also listed as v82, is live today, September 15, bringing a new Woodcutting collection activity, two quests, control changes, and a technical move to Unity 6.

The headline addition is the Tree Garden at the Sawmill. Players can now collect Tree Seeds while Woodcutting, then plant and grow all 20 tree species found around Aetera. Completing the garden unlocks rewards, giving lumberjacks another long-term checklist beyond cutting and processing logs.

  • The new Tree Garden lets players grow 20 tree species at the Sawmill using seeds found through Woodcutting.
  • Two quests have been added: “To House a Northernbird” for players with level 70 Combat and level 40 Woodcutting, and “Beauty and the Frog” for players with level 26 Combat, level 10 Woodcutting, and level 10 Fishing.
  • Combat movement has been adjusted so attack animations lock players in place less often.
  • Click/tap-to-move controls are now available in Settings, including tapping enemies to attack.
  • An Extended Camera Zoom option has been added, though the developer notes it may cause visual issues or lower performance on some devices.
  • Eterspire has been upgraded to Unity 6, with performance and connectivity improvements also included in this patch.

The combat changes sound like the most immediately noticeable part for regular players. Sorcerers, Guardians, and several Warrior weapons have had attack speeds increased, with damage adjusted to keep overall DPS roughly the same. In practice, the goal is faster-feeling attacks without a balance shakeup.

The update also adds a quest suggestion system for players who have finished the main story, improved localization across supported languages, a Recruitment chat tab, a setting to disable enemy auto-targeting, and a few small quality-of-life changes like remembering the last selected chat tab and window mode.

There’s a batch of bug fixes too, including issues with locked items being sold through “Sell All,” NPC interaction problems after converting logs into planks, Trial lag tied to Rogue’s Vicious Strike, and chat commands not working correctly in Guild Chat.

The next Eterspire update is currently scheduled for October 6. The team says v83 will bring back Halloween content, with more combat and performance work planned after the Unity 6 transition.
