Hi Oaklings,
Thank you for all the feedback on the Spooktober event!
I'm stoked you like it 🎃
Balance:
🔴Blueberry Burst (Candy) now gives "cheap" rerolls instead of free. (Half price rounded down).
🔴2/3-Star Silver Lance (Common) --> "On Trigger: Deal 10/20 bonus damage."
🟢3-Star Regular Bow (Common): Start of combat 20 dmg / 2 multi --> 25 dmg / 3 multi.
🟢Venomstrike (Epic): 4s CD --> 3.8s CD.
🔴Toxins (Epic) 1.3s CD --> 1.4s CD.
🟢Brew Today (From Mr. Spook): 8.5s CD --> 8s CD.
🟢Wish (Celesita): Upgrade an item from ** to *** in 3 days ---> 2 days.
🟢Exaltation (Bishop): Gain +9 free rerolls and +5000 Max Health --> +5200 Max Health.
Adding a bit more early game scaling items:
🟡Darksteel Rework: Sharpsteel | Common | Dagger | 30 gold | 3.2s CD | 20 dmg | 25 crit | "When this crits, permanently gain +1 damage."
🟡Petal Staff rework: Common | Magic, Elven | 25 gold | 4.1s CD | 2 Poison | "On First 2 Triggers: Permanently gain +1 poison."
🔴 Jade removed from the game. //Dev comment: Jade didn't serve a purpose, and the Elven category had too many items in it.
To make the amount of items in each category closer to each other, and keep it at a max of 9, Nightquill is no longer dark and High Blade is now only moon.
This is essentially preparation for the "deckbuilding" mechanic in the future, where you will be able to choose 8 types to play with when more new types are introduced. With this, all types need to have roughly the same amount of items.
Frosty has the fewest items, so to keep Frosty in line with this, a new item is introduced:
Sapphire Amulet.
Legendary | Artifact, Frosty | 45 Gold | "Increases your critical strike damage from x2 to x3".
Other:
🔸Lowered required candy amount to unlock avatar from 100 --> 75.
🔸Mr. Spook now always has a 50% chance of appearing on day 6.
Quality of Life
🔸You can now right-click shop items to buy them, and instantly put them into your tower.
🔸You can now right-click all potions to use them. If you do so on weapon-buff potions, it will be applied to the last item that you used a potion on. This shortcut does not work on Ink, Potion of Appearance, Crownforge Brew and Morph Vial so you won't use them accidentally.
Fixes:
🔸Fixed an issue that caused lag in the main menu after about 30 seconds.
🔸Fixed a bug where 3-Star Brew Today would produce shop potions rather than just normal potions.
🔸Fixed a bug where candies would show a different wrong amount in the shop.
🔸Fixed a bug where the candy buff would carry over between Oak fights, allowing you to stack them infinitely.
🔸If you enter combat while an item is still spawning other items (Anvil etc.), it will now stop spawning.
🔸Fixed a bug where you couldn't triple an item if you got the 3rd one from Wild Magic or Morph Potion.
🔸Fixed a bug where upgrading Moon Knife through the enchanter encounter would not give the correct amount of XP.
🔸Fixed a crash caused by Morph Potion and Morph Vial if you had also picked the Trick or Treat encounter option.
🔸To further avoid game crashes, the maximum amount of items than an item can generate in 1 combat is now capped at 10.000.
