Hey everyone,

I'm back at my desk and working on updates. Here's what I've been working on this weekend.

This is a group of player-reported fixes alongside a major permanent progression system, and Skill Gear panel improvements.

Skilling Collectibles

Those Skilling Relics you have been finding in Salvaging runs can now be permanently collected.
Select a relic in your Inventory and click Collect (Permanent) to lock in its XP or yield bonus forever. Once collected, you no longer need to equip that relic to benefit from it.

• Collected bonuses survive rebirth
• Collected bonuses apply automatically to their matching skill
• Each relic you collect is a permanent upgrade for every future life
• Extra copies can be safely sold after the relic has been collected

Profile Relic Tracker

A new Relic Collectibles section has been added to your Profile page. It shows which relics you have collected and what bonus each one provides.

Skill Gear Panel Improvements

• Drop sources are now shown - The Skill Gear panel now shows where each relic comes from, including the Salvaging task name and level requirement.
• Source links are clickable - Click a relic source line to jump straight to that Salvaging task.
• Collect from the skill page - If you have an uncollected relic in your inventory, the Skill Gear panel now shows an In Inventory chip and a Collect button.
• Collected relics are marked - Relics you have permanently collected now show a Collected badge in the Skill Gear panel.

Fixes

• Tool speed bonuses fixed - Several skills were missing tool support in their task setup. Tool speed bonuses now apply correctly to all applicable skills and tasks.
• Fletching tasks now require a knife - Fletching tasks now correctly require the proper tool before they can be started.
• Equipped gear and tools preserved through rebirth - Equipped weapons, armour, jewellery, and tools are now returned to your inventory during rebirth instead of being lost.
• Socketed jewellery no longer breaks Skilling Relic bonuses - Socketing a gem into a ring or amulet could stop Skilling Relic XP and yield bonuses from applying. Relic bonuses now work correctly whether your jewellery has socketed gems or not.
• Stamina Tincture fixed - Stamina Tincture now correctly grants Steady Focus, giving +10% task speed for 10 minutes.
• Attack speed buffs fixed in open-world combat - Attack speed buffs from potions and shrines now correctly affect your swing rate in regular combat. Dungeon combat was already working correctly.
• Scrapfang familiar fixed - Scrapfang now correctly shows Salvaging tasks instead of being stuck on Idle.

Feedback Welcome
