With that, here are the notes for the patch that just launched today, plus the last couple minor 1.25 versions!
PATCH NOTES
BALANCE
- Corral pet max health has now been capped at 4000 for the regular game, 6000 for NG+, and 8000 for Savage World. The reason for this change is because, due to a bug fix also in this patch, corral pets can learn and pass on a wider range of passive traits than they could before.
- NG+ minimum monster health slightly increased
- Savage World monster health increased
- (Legend of Shara) The min & max rank of scaled relics found in Wanderer’s Journeys now varies based on the difficulty of the Journey. Easier journeys like Goldfrog’s Grand Grotto will have somewhat lower average & max relic quality than much harder ones like Temple of Elements and Tower of Ordeals.
BUGS
- Passive monster abilities on pets/corral monsters should no longer disappear on save/load. This means passive monster skills should now be able to be passed down to children.
- Talking to NPCs should no longer trigger end-of-turn effects like gaining CT or ticking statuses (could be particularly exploitable in Wanderer’s Journeys)
- Fixed a couple item comparison bugs; comparisons should be more accurate now particularly for armor with Dodge
- Fixed bug where certain status effects granted by equipment (such as Antipode Blade’s fire/ice attack) sometimes got ‘stuck’ and were not removed
- You should now be able to enter an item in the Dreamcaster if it does not have max upgrades (+++) but *does* have max magic mods. You just won’t be able to get more mods on it.
- Chance of passing day in the Dreamcaster should be accurate even if you clear a Nightmare Prince
- Fixed bug where Skill Orb version of Escape Artist had the unintentional limiting property of ‘adjacent wall only’
- You should now be able to search for rarity “RARE” (threw an error before)
- Fixed bug with Overdraw magic mod not working correctly on quivers, also fixed it not working properly when auto-switching weapons
- Edge Thane’s innate “Survival” bonus should no longer persist if you change jobs
- The buff from Vanishing Ink should no longer persist if you unequip the ability
- Damage from Radiant Starhelm’s “Smite” effect should now show up correctly in the log (as “Divine Fury”)
- Fixed game error when capturing very high level monsters and trying to add them to your corral
- The new searchbar tutorial should no longer pop up more than once
- After upgrading your Monster Mallet, the correct Health threshold should be displayed when using the ability (20% instead of 15%)
- Attempted fix for rare bug with cooking UI
- Attempted fix for some weird edge cases with Blinking monster power
- Fixed bug with searchbar tutorial popping up after using a Job Change scroll
- Fixed Chinese language selection at title screen.
- Fixed display bug with reserved Energy and dismissing Floraconda
- Fixed bug with pet trainer’s forget skill function not subtracting JP properly
- Fixed bug in evaluating game completion state for purposes of NG+ / Savage World
- Fixed bug where HuSyn’s tier 3 emblem was not working correctly (Runic Crystal was not picking up powerups as intended)
- It’s now possible to close the Steam Leaderboards via controller
- Daggers now actually give +35 CT on crit as intended (down from +50; this change was made a few patches ago, but was not implemented correctly)
- Ice shards from Ice Tortoise should no longer be consumed when passing through friendly creatures
- (Legend of Shara) Relics that grant the ‘Deep Lake Gem’ effect of ignoring Deadly Void damage should now work properly
- (Legend of Shara) Fixed animation time on Energy Shield effect
- (Legend of Shara) Runes of Knowledge now actually cost JP as intended, instead of *giving* you JP
- (Legend of Shara) Fixed bug with stairs disappearing sometimes in Shara mode
- (Legend of Shara) Fixed map generation bug in Realm of the Gods where objects could be on inaccessible tiles
- (Legend of Shara) Fixed display error when getting multiple relics in a single Wanderer’s Journey, sometimes showing incorrect item info
- (Legend of Shara) Subtle Bonk should work correctly now
- (Legend of Shara) Another bug fix related to relics disappearing in Wanderer’s Journeys
