changed👑King balance: - The King now rewards a Magic Item every two Tributes (at tiers 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.) instead of after every Tribute. - The King's Patience amount has been reduced (again) after the first two Tributes. - After completing a Tribute, a 10-second Grace Period now begins during which the King's Patience will not decrease. - The Grace Period is doubled (to 20 seconds) at the start of a run and for the second Tribute.
removed⛏️Item balance: - Fall damage is now lethal unless you're wearing Elven Boots. - Elven Boots no longer negate fall damage entirely - you now take 1 HP of damage. - Reduced the Elven Boots' fall distance bonus to 1.5x (from 2.0x). - Taking fall damage while wearing Elven Boots now completely breaks your Chainmail. - Chainmail no longer protects against magic (Moldcasters now damage your health directly). - Recall Scroll cooldown increased to 240 seconds (from 120 seconds). - Stone Ring now divides the carry penalty by 3 (was 2).
