Where to find the barber
Barber services are available in Zhelejov and Kuttenberg. The Patch 1.2 notes do not give a full list of hairstyles, prices, or prerequisites, so those details should not be assumed from the announcement.
Balance, items, and progression
The update adjusts several interconnected systems rather than focusing on a single build or activity.

Food, equipment, and item values
- Food spoilage over time was adjusted.
- Armor durability and how damage is distributed across armor layers were rebalanced.
- Item quality’s effect on price was changed, alongside prices for horse equipment, jewelry, meat, and other animal loot.
- Item weights were adjusted, and stealth-related items were changed.
- Book-study comfort at inns was adjusted.
Locks, weapons, and training
- Lock difficulty was adjusted in Trosky and for food chests.
- Polearms were made stronger, while shields became cheaper.
- Skill-teacher prices were lowered. Marksmanship training became easier, while melee weapon training became slightly slower.
- Pickpocketing difficulty and the distribution of ranged weapons were adjusted.
Blacksmithing and recipes
Blacksmithing received a general minigame rebalance, with a clearer visual cue for a cooling workpiece. The patch also added horseshoe recipes at merchants and locations, and adjusted recipes and items involving bezoar.
Combat and NPC behavior
Combat changes include increased damage for multi-hit combos, adjustments to combat animations and weapon drawing, and a short delay intended to limit repeated melee attacks when the player is not locked on. The notes also list master-strike damage corrections and fixes involving combat audio, disarming, clinches, enemies, and animal combat behavior.
NPC and crime systems were adjusted as well. The patch fixes perception problems such as characters seeing through obstacles or seeing behind themselves, and includes changes to crime reporting.
Performance and stability
Deep Silver says the patch generally improved performance and stability, optimized Kuttenberg marketplaces and NPC visual streaming, and improved frame-rate stability during battle portions of quests. The publisher also reports that average level-switch duration was reduced by over 15 seconds. That figure is a publisher-reported average, not an independently measured benchmark in the patch notes.

How to interpret these notes now
Patch 1.2 is a record of a specific historical update, not a statement of the game’s current version or compatibility status. If you are troubleshooting today, check the game’s current version and any later update notes for your platform rather than assuming a Patch 1.2 fix describes the latest build. PLAION’s support announcement said Patch 1.2 was live and linked to the full notes: PLAION support.
