Official basis
The claim appears in a Keen Games release post or changelog. We link the primary source and keep its scope intact.
Editorial & evidence policy
How We Verify Enshrouded 1.0 Builds
Confidence is a label, not a writing style. EmberBuilds distinguishes primary-source facts, practical planning, community leads and in-game reproduction so a polished page never looks more certain than its evidence.
Verification pending
The recommendation is a useful launch plan, but current node values, gear stats or combat outcomes still need reproduction.
In-game verified
This label is reserved for a recorded game version, character and gear state, difficulty, test target and repeatable result.
Verification ladder
How a launch plan becomes a verified guide
- 01
Anchor the mechanic
Start with the official release description and record the exact patch date.
- 02
Check the live tree
Confirm names, connections, point costs and displayed values in the current client.
- 03
Reproduce the loop
Test whether the interaction works as described with an explicit level, gear state and difficulty.
- 04
Compare like with like
Only rank builds when the target, patch, gear assumptions and success measure match.
- 05
Publish the open edge
List unresolved behavior and update the changelog when a hotfix changes the recommendation.
Editorial promises
What we will not fake
A useful page can be honest about what it does not yet know.
No invented DPS
We do not turn tooltips or a single clip into a cross-build damage ranking.
No anonymous “tests”
A verified claim needs the game version, setup, target and method—not just the word tested.
No launch-day BiS theater
We publish gear priorities until the current item pool is checked under comparable conditions.
No hidden uncertainty
Open values stay in a visible verification queue on the guide they affect.
Corrections
Version changes are part of the guide
Material corrections should update the page date and evidence ledger. Hotfixes that change the recommendation belong in a visible changelog, while minor copy edits do not pretend to be new testing.
