What's New in Driftbound

1.7.7

September 3, 2026

Driftbound 1.7.7. Rim work: the outer systems carry new sites every week — distress beacons, wrecks, signal caches. Deepest space carries the most, and it rolls over with the weekly event. Forge rolls: every forged module and gear piece has its own quality, and Artificer IV can re-forge it, never lower. Pledge a faction and finish its chain for two Standing Orders. Search the map by ore. Sell a numbered piece on the Exchange. Two new events, and next week's is shown.

Fantastic new entry
