Hey, dreamers! Today marks the first major Early Access update boasting various system improvements and additions! Old saves should remain functional, but your already found equipment may act a bit funky within the menu. In case of bigger issues, please feel free to reach out to me via the forums!
This update greatly improves the menu navigation both in- and outside of combat, and streamlines many of the systems players were not utilizing as much as I had hoped.
Starting off, sockets now are provided by armors only, and equipping them is a whole lot easier than it used to be. Furthermore, the seldomly used earrings have been removed from the game, whilst moving their benefits to the spirit equipment type.
Speaking of spirits, they now have a whole lot more personality! Literally! Finding the right spirit for the right character will greatly improve your performance in combat, making them a must! And since that’s the case, the new vendor joining the hub area will ensure you can collect them to your heart’s content.
