Hi everyone! It has barely been one day since launch. I have just moved the current beta version, 1.2.7, to the main branch. This is a fairly large update, with 2 Storylines and many quality of life changes.
Full release notes below.
New features and changes
- Add new early game Storyline: ||"Building Blocks"||
- Add new mid-to-late game Storyline: ||"Exclusive Lesson"||
- Experimental: add alternative to how Land works in Options
- Add capability to Transmute multiple copies of an item at once, unlocked via ||the previous Storyline|| (note: this feature is bugged and will be fixed soon)
- Add clearer hint to guide players in the right direction when maxing out Essence Storages before finishing the Training Towers
- "Transmute Materials" now works recursively (it will transmute the materials' materials) and will also transmute the item itself
- When using ||Spellcraft||, adjust Perma-Cast assigned wizards up if needed
- When switching between equipment sets, always ||search for the item with the maximum quality||
- Menu item ||Combine All|| under "More actions..." in Inventory now ||will unequip current non-Pouch equipment if another one is in the inventory, and it will combine and auto-equip the highest quality||
- Add button to clear all rules in a Wizard strategy
- Change Synchro UI: instead of choosing a grid slot and then choosing what to paint it with, choose an Element first, and then choose the grid slot to paint
- Minor performance improvements in certain post-game situations
- Auto-purchase furniture can now be set to be turned off automatically when purchased
- Auto-purchase furniture can now be set to a specific amount or to max, rather than only max
- Large screens only: change heart-shaped icon on menu items to a pin-shaped icon to try and convey the function better
- Add tooltips for "Quick Channeling"
Bug fixes
