Other[ | ]
- Added instructions for opening the crafting panel to the Shattering Stone's description
- Added difficulty settings
- You can now change the difficulty to "Veteran" in the settings menu (shortcut: O)
- On Veteran you will deal 25% less damage and take 75% more damage This scales up with area level; in a level 100 area you will deal 35% less damage and take 150% more damage
- Your difficulty choice is saved and shared between characters
- Difficulty choice only affects you so two people with different difficulties will be able to play together in the future
- Added Stormbreaker lore text, "Strike with the power of the storm"
- Added two unique items
- Added the Rampancy monster suffix, which periodically makes the monster grow and become more powerful for 4 seconds, before shrinking down again for 4 seconds
- Added two new nodes to the Thorn Burst tree, relating to casting thorn burst when you take a hit
- Now easier to hit enemies with Basic Attack and Mana Strike
