Happy New Year 1.0.4 (Patch)

Happy new year! Here's another patch with a sprinkling of QoL, a bunch of little tweaks, and some freshly-squashed bugs. We hope you all have enjoyed the festivities, and look forward to big announcements coming up later this month!

Balance changes

• Igneous Armour now awards block based on the total damage you deal to enemy block with a die plus its burn damage, instead of awarding it for each individual hit

• Blood fountain Skully Bones and Chilly Bones now have 2 D6s instead of 1 D8 and 1 D4

• Increased shop tier upgrade requirements (25,000 for tier 2 and 100,000 for tier 3)

• Reduced character gambit upgrade requirements (25 crafts / 100 activations)

• Taking Sharp Shovel, Another, Smaller Chest, or Bag of Holding More Gems now grants more gems than refusing the offer outright

• Changed Equi Tea from a charge to a limited (1) trick (RIP)

• Increased chance of Blessings/Curses appearing on picking up at least one (

  you should try getting them all 👀

  )

• Changed a certain secret requirement involving Punch (

  👀👀👀👀👑

  )

• Made Cartographer's Grant award gems upon entering the final level

• Made F.F.'s Sippy Cup grant modifiers after using a blood fountain

• Kon now deals stack damage, allowing you to more efficiently delete enemies from existence

• Schadenfreude is now rare instead of uncommon, seeing as wither pumps out a lot of 0s these days

• Reduced Jog (120 mins, 50 points) and Sprint (90 mins, 100 points) time requirements, and added a third score, Speed Demon (60 mins, 200 points), for all you maths-ignoring auto attack enthusiasts out there

• You now get 25 points per

  sentinel

  you beat, and they no longer count as elites for points

• Changed Technique #37's health threshold to 25%, and it now only needs you or the enemy to be under it to activate. To compensate, it is now a once per battle trick, and cannot kill bosses.
