Blub Emporium Version 1.1.3 - Change Log
This patch very heavily boosts progression right across the board, adding items to help progress faster if desired, and boosting XP gains from sales, tasks, missions and events.
Some more auto-stock items make their debut here along with their respective tasks.
More content is on its way; further auto-stockers will be added as well as additional tasks, decorations and more.
