Patch Notes - Uncharted Islands

Added:
- Added a new Equipment Slot, the Trinket

- Trinkets are not crafted by players and are found primarily from doing the Hexite Sealed Chest world event
- Trinkets provide more specialized stat bonuses, similar to jewelry.
- Svim sells trinket upgrades in exchange for the new regional currency as well as the base version of 4 trinkets.

- Added 3 new player stats
- Boat Speed

- New Uncharted Islands Temporary Regions
- 4 New regions at positions R3, R11, R15, R23 which will last from June 11th until Aug 20th (After which, all players will be moved out to the nearest region and everything inside will be cleared). Any items or progress obtained in the regions can be taken back to the other regions and will not be removed. This will function similarly to past seasonal events.
- In these regions you can find 4 new biomes with a mixture of existing and new resources:
- Uncharted Ocean - Behaves like Ocean for existing bonuses (e.g. boat speeds)

- Deserted Beach

- Tropical Canopy

- Volcanic Crag - Doesn’t allow building
