you can get your upgrade crystals from the towers and the shrines still if you see those huge statues and e to interact they release a mess of monsters kill them all get a box the box has a crystal inside ....(be sure to make lock picks for the chest )Ahh, I did not know that about the plots. They were never very useful to me and I never used them, since the amount I could harvest from the wild was way more than what I could get from farming. When I could harvest 2 or 3 areas for wheat and have the same if not MORE than I could have gotten from an equivalent amount of wheat in farm plots, they were pretty worthless to me.
With thecrippledreduced yields from harvesting in the wild, using the farming plots is very appealing to me now and I have used them very effectively. Personally, I think that is why the Dev nerfed all of the wild harvest yields. It makes those farming plots more viable, useful, and valuable.
On 9., the grind was increased pretty significantly, but, there are a lot more monsters to fuck and fight now.
Sanctuary is now populated with people and a quest you can do. 2 new NPCs roaming the deep forests, only 1 has a quest though.
Crystals (for upgrading armors) is rare as fuck again. They no longer spawn in the ruined castle and the Trollkin camps.
Evercoal actually feels very useful now. Especially with the nerf to mining harvests.
Farming plots feel useful, due to the harvesting nerfs.
I ... I actually crafted some Royal armor and used it for a while, instead of charging straight to Legendary armor.
You are going to be spending A LOT more time harvesting and mining things. You are probably going to be fighting things a lot more as well. Night raids are a thing again. I have had 2 or even 3 night ambushes, in a single night, a few times. Nightmares, Reapers, and assorted basic monsters will descend upon you, depending on your level.
Sex animations are still kind of screwed up. Some work fine, others are just a bit mis-aligned, and some are just batshit crazy.

It is a tough call to say whether you should stay on 8.5.7 or update to 8.5.9. Overall, I liked the new update.
The game is grindier (kinda sucks), the game world feels a bit more alive with more spawns in the world (kinda fun). Plus, the stuff you can build and craft feel much more useful (kinda good).
the dragon towers and mazes all have a prize chests as well with a crystal
