addedAdded a new Hunt: Ruined Maze , unlockable after you've found the Ruinheart Woods (and talking to a certain squirrel). Note: you can only have one Hunt active at once, so be sure to break your previous Hunt camp if you want to adventure in the Ruined Maze! Like all Hunts, this one also features a night-time mission against a Shriekjay Matriarch, and special objectives during the Evening version.
changedEquipment Minimum Rarity : whenever new equipment drops in a dungeon, it will now be given a minimum rarity based on the most-upgraded item in that same slot, instead of always dropping as Rookie.
changedUpdated Journal UI animations for selecting/deselecting cards (they now float nicely).
removedPortraits should no longer overlap accidentally in certain scenes.
removedThe Improved Oil of Sharpness no longer bypasses Arcane Locks, Bloodroot or Willowguard Gates (sorry y'all, that was a bug actually).
