This patch brings in a couple of new things including town auras and treasure items.
The first wave of town auras has been added to gatherers. Before you can purchase any aura upgrades however, you'll need to purchase the aura itself on the town's solace. Then from any of the gatherers you can purchase increased strength, speed, luck, or a new stat that creates a chance for any harvesting reward to become 2 instead of 1.
Any number of these auras can be unlocked and will add up to become a "Solace Aura" buff that will stay on you as long as you are within range of the aura. Multiple auras within range of one another will not stack. The strongest buffs from any auras within range of one another will mix into a single buff. Next up will be crafting auras, and eventually combat and others as well.
Now that we have a bustling economy, and because most of these new upgrades cost money, I've added a new type of item to monster drops called Treasure. These are high priced items specifically for selling to vendors. They have a chance to drop in all five rarities with each rarity of course being more expensive.
Once the crafting auras are in tomorrow I hope to spend a day or two polishing things up, and responding to any new bugs or feedback before pushing the current beta branch onto the live branch as v 0.3.3. After that I will be primarily working on town guards and improving the solace defense battles.
