▣ New Locations & Events

■ Unique Traits

Added 10 unique locations and events that allow you to acquire unique traits.

Unique traits are activated upon meeting specific conditions after acquisition.

Traits once acquired cannot be reacquired or transferred, so please choose carefully.

■ Company Member Class Change

Added 10 unique locations and events that allow you to change a company member's class.

The main character's class cannot be changed.

■ Special Animals

Added 4 unique locations and events where you can capture special animals.

Upon capture, certain special animals can be interacted with on the Company Composition screen to receive minor rewards.

■ Devil-Worshiping Cultists

Added unique locations and events where you can fight Devil Worshipers.

Devil Worshipers have a chance to spawn at quest targets or bandit settlements.

Devil Worshipers can always be captured as prisoners, but they cannot be persuaded or sold to slave traders.

■ Consecrated Polishing

You can bring captured Devil Worshipers to the temple to perform Consecrated Polishing on your equipment.

Main weapons, light body armor, and heavy body armor can be polished, while auxiliary equipment cannot.

1–2 random stats will be polished; spending additional Piety Points guarantees 2 stats are polished.

Re-polishing an already polished item will reroll its polished stats.
