This patch fixes various small bugs, and include some mild nerfs to the rewards of the new quest. I do want the new caves quest to be a lot more rewarding, but not so much that it makes the later stages of the game significantly easier.
I'm also trying out a slightly new format for writing down changes here as well. You can now click on 'show details' under each entry to get a complete list of changes, instead of being forced to check them in-game.
Changes
Blacksmith Reward Changes
Details
Overall I'm fairly happy with the level of challenge and reward the new quest offers, but from looking at gameplay data the rewards are a bit overtuned currently.I certainly don't plan to reduce the blacksmith rewards back to being similar to before this new quest, but for now I am making some initial changes to get them into a better place balance-wise. This will make it easier to fine-tune the overall quest difficulty and rewards in v2.3.0.
- Cost for second reforge/harden up to 1500 from 1000
- Upgrade now caps at +2, down from +3
- Chance for smith to produce a +0 item up to 30%, from 20%
- Chance for smith to produce a +1 item down to 45%, from 55%
Misc. Changes
Details
- The Crystal Spire now awards 20 exp when it is defeated
- Increased the amount of toxic gas that the rot heart can produce
- New quest bosses now interrupt the hero when they are telegraphing an attack
- Updated translations and translator credits
