• Workbenches/Cauldrons are now highlighted on the minimap in light blue circles when the tiles are discovered on the map

• Generated Spellbooks now alternate between Magic skills when generating in Shops/Chests/Floor to assist variety

  • E.g 3 spellbooks on the floor in 1 level, or in 1 Chest, or in 1 Shop will be Sorcery, then Mysticism, then Thaumaturgy starting randomly

  • Shops/Chests/Floor generate independently of each other, so still may spawn the same school as their first item

  • Previous floors are not taken into account for next level's generation

• Lowered frequency of Readable Books spawned in floor generation, 50% re-rolling to a different item category if picked

Deserters & Disciples:

• AdjustedBard InstrumentsNow consume % Max MP per play cycle (If previously was 3 MP per cycle now is 3% Max MP etc). Minimum cost 1 MP / cycle, lowered MP costs than previous in early game

• Bard's Rapier Critical Damage bonus reduced from +50% to +25%

• Gremlin can now gain Vandal points when armor breaks by effects of Destroy Armor and cursed Repair scrolls

• Sapper's Frypan now can quick access Cook menu by defending and pressing Use (Not Attack like the tinkering kit, in case it interferes with using as a shield)

  • Updated tooltip details to mention this

• Fix Gremlin description resistances not listing all resists

• Gremlin Vandal tooltip updated to mention all melee damage increases, not just breakables

• Fix Deface spell targets leaving unpathable tiles when destroyed

• Fix Deface spell on Cauldron leaving behind light field

• Fix Salamander's Breathe Fire debuff not awarding additional MP on kill correctly for players 3/4

• Fix Salamander Stone effect not mentioning immune to all damage, not just melee

• Fix tooltip for Salamander to mention 35% effective hunger rate, not 25%

• Fix Dryad Growth not increasing received Fire spell damage beyond 1 stage

Spells/Items:

• Envenom Weapon spell fix poison duration being longer than intended and slowing levelling progress

• Overcharge spell can now provide skill level ups when casting reduced MP cost spells

• Fix Magic Foci/Holy Symbol/Dark Icons not displaying their +PWR % to spell schools, incorrectly displaying skill bonus

• Infected Branch Bow Spores now count as being cast by magicstaff vs normal spellcasting for levelling Mysticism

Enemies:

• Shadow enemy "Mimic Other" effect now increases the Shadow's STR and DEX if the target's modified stats are higher. 20% of the stat difference is added to the Shadow each mimic attempt.

• NPCs with Rapiers no longer receive DEX penalty on light attacks

• Monsters that spawned with a leader that died can now be recruited (E.g rats following Algernon, goatman pairs)

Controls:

• 'Hotbar Quickcast' is now an option under Controls, separate per player and keyboard/gamepad

  • Attempts to cast a spell without needing to Ready the spell first

  • Holding ALT while selecting a spell when enabled will instead Ready the spell to be cast using the default F/LB binding

• ALT modifier on keyboard can be rebound, see "Alternate Item Use Modifier" in the bindings list

• Added a Controls option for "Mouse Events Limit" to limit the amount of mouse motion registered per game frame to avoid large camera swings

  • Default value is Unlimited

  • When set, if there is a abnormal stutter in-game it will process only up to the defined number of events and reduce disorientation caused by many queued motion events

    • At 60 FPS, typical 1000Hz mice will return 16-17 motion events (Set to around 18), 144 FPS 6-7 motion events (Set to the minimum of 10). Formula is approx 1000 / FPS.

  • Use command /debug_mouse_motion true and set the Controls setting to below Unlimited to check in-game the number of mouse movements captured, particularly for higher Hz mice as that will multiply the amount of events received compared to standard 1000Hz

Bugfixes/Other:

• Improved Server performance with Client inventories, clients using items no longer create lingering vacant items on the server slowing iteration/save/load speed
