Weekly Patch 20: Major city update, class skill upgrades and 4 new trials

Version Number: 0.8.7

This week's update comes with a big update to how cities function, we have also added class skill upgrades and 4 new trials

City Update
First up is the city update. We have added 4 new types of shops to cities. The catch is that only one of them appears in each city

Each city will have an Inn, an equipment shop, card shop, and a potion shop. But the 4th shop will be randomized and then set for that city.
You will see either

  • The Trainer - Purchase stat upgrades
  • The War Master - Upgrade class skill
  • The Gambling Den - Play a game of High or Low for some gold
  • The Temple - Remove curses and purchase blessings
  • The Black Market - A one time deal on an ultra rare item

Skill Upgrades
This is something that players have been asking for and we figured it was a good time to introduce it. Each class has 3 levels for their class skill, each level more helpful than the last but not adding any new mechanics to the class. Class skills can be upgraded in cities that have a War Master.

This is the first round of this change. I am sure some tweaking will be needed. But let us know your thoughts on this system.

New trials
Last major addition this patch is 4 new trials

  • Shadow Agent - Reach and defeat the Lost while getting into less than 40 fights
  • Outcast - The only city that spawns is starting city
  • Potion Explosion - Player starts with 1 random potion. Potion bag can only hold 1 potion; Whenever a potion is used, a random potion replaces it.
  • High Score - Achieve a score of 80 for Initiate / 120 for Adventurer or 160 for Hero to achieve victory
