New Faction

Ghoulish monsters that feast on fallen blood!

New creatures have been added to many of the more difficult dungeons which utilize a completely new set of mechanics and AI logic. Beware of lingering around any battlefield for too long...

New Dungeon Type - Caves

• Mountainous regions have been added to the overworld map with occasional cave entrances.
• Differing light levels will now affect vision range, and caves are very dark indeed (don't forget to bring a torch!)
• Reintroduced powerful living rock monsters into cave systems.
• Gather mushrooms and other rare alchemy ingredients.

New Items

• Medium armors have been added to the game and balanced for all 3 tier levels.
• Brigandine has been moved to medium armor subtype and a new T3 Light chest armor has been added.
• "Bright" set introduced which provides enhanced energy management, in contrast to the "Shadow" set which provides direct combat stats (namely dodge).
• Added a Plague Doctor's coat to go along with the mask.
• Ravager's head loot item with high value.

Town Updates

• New store furniture introduced: Stocking shelves (empty for now) and merchant counters with shop interactibility.
• An Inn has been added: A building which allows the player to sleep for free (further improvements on this to come).

Ranged Combat "Rebalance" (Read: Nerf)

• All ranged weapons have 30% reduced accuracy from previous values.
• Arbalism ability "Rapid Reload" now only reduces reload speed by 25% (from 50%).
• Archery passive "On the Hunt" has been changed from giving a crit resist debuff to simply increasing damage received (this was changed after some inconsistencies were found with the crit resistance calculation).
• Archery ability "Triple Nock" now applies a significant movement speed debuff to all targets and no longer suffers additional accuracy penalties, but now has a -15% damage modifier.
• Archery ability "Power Draw" now reduces ammo recovery chance while active (-15%).
• Ranged ability "Between the Eyes" has a reduced stun chance (50% from 75%) and now takes longer to perform (+50% attack time).

Other Fixes and Changes

• Character name and class are now displayed in the Quest panel.
• Enemy encounters no longer occur in a room with stairs. (With the exception of spider nests... for now)
• 3 new rooms have been added to Moreld's tower (2 unique, 1 recurring)
• Critical hit calculation and resistance has been changed to work like all other debuff checks.
• The aggro system determining when monsters will become hostile has been updated; some monsters will remain neutral unless provoked.
• In-game time now displays as hour 1 to 24 instead of hour 0 to 23.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed empty stack of gold appearing in player inventory after trading with shopkeeper.

• Fixed player not spawning in town center when entering towns.
