Pax Dei Release 50 Will Add Clan Plot Permissions and Rework Jewelcrafting

Mainframe Industries has shared an early look at Pax Dei’s Release 50 plans, even as Release 49 is still in progress. The next update is centered on two practical changes for players: better plot permissions for clans and a full pass on jewelcrafting.

The plot permission system should give owners more control over who can build, destroy, or take items on a plot. Those options will be tied to new clanmate roles coming in R50, with separate permission sets planned for doors, chests, crafting stations, and market stalls.

For now, those permissions are being built around clans. Mainframe says it’s also working on ways to extend some access options to trusted players outside a clan, though that doesn’t sound locked for the initial R50 rollout.

Jewelcrafting is also getting a major redesign. Accessories will provide bonuses instead of granting spell access, and jewelry durability will drop when an effect triggers rather than simply during combat. Jewelry will become bind on equip, with what Mainframe described as a small grace cost.

The crafting side is changing too. Precious stones and rare gems will replace relics as required materials, and a new salvage bench will let jewelcrafters break down older pieces into materials for new items. That should make outdated jewelry a bit less painful to replace.

Other Release 50 work includes adjustments to death and durability, more responsive blocking, and a move to Unreal Engine 5.8. Looking further out, Mainframe is planning revamps for alchemy and cooking, the return of missing early access items as stat-free RP items, and another Yule event, possibly with new rewards.
