Yesterday I patched in 21 new items, consolidated a number of overly specific drops into more generic forms, and removed a couple of unused drops that have been lingering around for a while. Most of the new drops come directly from the now six types of world encounters: Caves, Goblin Dungeons, Undead Dungeons, Lava Caves, Water Caves, and Floating Islands. Each encounter has two unique monsters along with a unique "boss" or rare monster.
It also introduced a new material "Mirrenium," which has thread, leather, metal, lumber, and stone versions. The recipes for these are a little special and so a little off right now, I should be able to fix that up tomorrow though.
This patch introduces 31 new enchants, all available for purchase on the Enchanter, one of the highest tier town buildings. I still want to improve the current interface used for unlocking things from townspeople, and the new enchants do not yet today have icons to represent them. It's getting late though and I wanted to get this up as is, and can definitely get in icons for the new enchants tomorrow.
I also want to change the current unlock costs that exist in a number of different spots where they may for example ask for a "T1 diamond," which is frustrating when you've got a bucket full of T5 diamonds, but no T1 diamonds. I think it's fair to just have the costs be something like "T1+" meaning anything at least T1 or better, but I also don't want to have such systems automatically eat up whatever is in your inventory. For example if you only have a T10 Legendary Diamond in a bag in your inventory, it would be a waste to use that to pay for a T1 Uncommon Diamond cost. I want to try some different methods, but might just end up adding a "pay with anything" check box that will try to find the lowest quality yet still acceptable method of payment.
I wanted to also point out that the math for all of the sockets and pretty much everything in game are going to be reworked shortly when we move on to version 0.8. There are currently some stats in these new enchants, such as minion damage, that are not actually beneficial under and currently possible circumstances. There are a number of new stats also not yet added to actual items that I want to add in this week as runes to generate a better use of stone, such as life steal, fire damage, and so forth.
