Forge More, Better Edition

FEATURES

FORGING UPDATE!

• Forging has been updated to be progressive instead of random! This change has huge rippling effects, and touches every piece of equipment in the game.

EQUIPMENT SIMPLIFICATION

• Equipment no longer has a forge level.
• Individual stats on equipment no longer have hidden power level rolls.

EQUIPMENT POWER

• There are now 5 ranks of power per rarity of equipment, from at 0 to 5.
• These ranks, along with the rarity, determines how strong the stats are on an item.
• Forging increases the power level by 1. 
• If the value is at 5 (max), forging it will instead increase the item's rarity by one level.

BONUS STATS

• Bonuses are represented by *s next to a stat.
• Each stat on a piece of equipment can have up to 2 levels of bonus. 
• The first one gives +10% value, and two give an additional +20%.
• Pearls of Wisdom can now be used to increase the bonus on a random stat if the equipment already has 4 stats. 

NEW SHADOW LEVELS

• Items now have 4 total possible Shadow Levels possible, up from 1.
• Items that are Shadow Level 1 can be upgraded to Shadow Level 2 and above.
• Items that are Shadow Level 4 have more possible health, health regen, and damage than equipment does now, but slightly less possible attack speed, jump, and movement speed.

FORGING

• Perfect Prisms are now used only to upgrade items from Resplendent rarity to Shadow Level 1.
• Chaos Forges can only re-roll the 3rd and 4th stats. 
• Re-rolled stats at a Chaos Forge are now effective immediately, instead of after locking in.
• You can still re-roll as many times as you wish.
• Chaos Forges now only use Tentacles as a special resource.

RINGS

• Resplendent boxes can now drop Shadow Level 1-4 rings in addition to Resplendent Rings.
• Rings now give no individual bonus *s to stats.
• Rings always have a power value of 5.

LOOT DROPS

• Equipment can now drop with a random number of bonuses on stats and stars.
• Magic Find can now trigger up to Shadow Level 4.

GAME UPDATE

NEW IN THE STORE

• Chaos chest has been randomized. Try your luck and you may get a clipper, a unicorn pet, or fully crafted meownts!
• The Costume box now gives Boomeranger costumes.
• 50 and 100 Spring Pinata packs are 50% off for this week only! 

ADVENTURING

MECHANICS
