Current baseline. Game-data statements on this site are read from demo build 26139222, examined October 23, 2026.
Official sources
The developer's own store pages, website and channels. Pages also cite the official Loftia Discord, where the developers post announcements and patch notes and answer players; Discord messages are named by date and are not linked, because they can only be read after joining the server.
How we read the game files
Values read from the game files come from the Loftia Demo, Steam build 26139222 (the public branch updated October 22, 2026), extracted on October 23, 2026 from a local installation. For the Scrambled Coordinates guide we read the item's name, description, carry limit and sell price, the Travel Kit perk, the quest "Adventure Awaits!" with its steps, required amounts, rewards and prerequisite, the character data that names the quest's Adventurer, the bonus-drop settings for gathering spots, the daily chest's rewards, the list of Loftia City gathering spots, the adventure setup with its cost, player limit and timer, and Cella's Key Shop with the quest that opens it. They describe the demo only: Early Access had not been released when they were read, and something existing in the files does not mean the demo enables it.
How each evidence label is used, how conflicting sources are handled and how to report a mistake are explained in the Editorial Policy.
