Thanks to everyone who's been playing the game for so long, and this one's for you because it's September now and 2018 and that's reason enough ːsteamhappyː
ADDITIONS
- There is a new "surprise" enemy in the game, which I won't reveal how to fight, but like those who were surprised by the Water Dragon while fishing this should be right up your alley.
- 20 New Items! Here are a few of them to give you an idea of what's in store- Gloves of Bravery: Aquamarine gloves that allow you to deal more than 1 damage while at zero stamina in battle. Possibly a godsend when paired with a weapon or effect that deals elemental / poison damage on strike naturally. Flanged Mace: A nice 1 handed blunt weapon, especially designed to go with a shield. Holding both this and a shield will give you a shield block % bonus. Another nice option for all ye Clerics out there. Treasure Map: "X" marks the spot for this puppy. Just hold it in your inventory and climb down the ladder for a guaranteed Treasure Floor. Best of all the floor event triggered by the treasure map is not restricted to floors 21+, so if you can somehow get this early enough you can grab awesome loot and battle Death Boxes with much lesser stats than usual (but with the same rewards!) Thunder Sword: Potentially one of the game's most powerful 2 handed weapons, you can cast all manner of electric spells in battle with it. Additionally, use it as an item from your pack to summon a giant thunderstorm and call lightning bolts down from the sky. While raining your sword will inflict higher damage too. Did I mention this sword will never break and can be reused until the end of time? Hoorah! The 2nd Ring: Incredibly rare and powerful, equipping this cursed item will give you both unlimited invisibility and allow you to see secret walls. The catch? With each step there's a small chance you'll premanently lose 1 max HP! Will you equip the ring and basically become invincible to monsters and risk the curse??
- There's a new tutorial page on how to remove your equipped gear (in case you didn't know you could before).
CHANGES
- Lightning bolts can now appear at two different frequencies during thunderstorms. Using the Thunder Sword will trigger the more frequent type.
- The new Black Rune was added to the Guild Master's mystery rune grab bag-o-rama.
- Added some of the new items to both the shop and the cultist den's stock.
- Put some little vines on the Items Found Log and increased it to accomodate 440 items over 22 pages.
FIXES
- The enemy FLAMES spell wasn't dealing the correct damage during Rain Floor Events (-50%).
- Fixed a few minor activity log entries.
- Fixed it so you shouldn't pull up the Water Dragon while fishing until you've caught at least a couple fish first. Provided your pole's line doesn't break now of course!
And that's it for today! Remember, next month it'll be two years since ETL has been up on Steam. It sure has come a very long way!
