Hello dear blacksmiths,

Patch notes 0.8.8b:

- Reagent storage and Bookcase (Alchemist upgrades) will be added to Builder Vendor
- Crafting menus will remember last recipe Tier choice
- Marketplace Buy/Sell will now have a slider bar showing quantity and cost
- Bandits group 2 was nerfed in order to speed up phase in Prologue
- Bandits group 2 spawn will now come with a quest indicating to destroy them
- King's Tax will advance 30% over longer period of time
- toned down water sounds in Wanborne
- when staff models will disappear, after reload, their models will be added to inventory

Bug fixes:

- Drezhul skeletons will be cleared in Bandit camp 2,3,4 battles
- dead heroes after battle will have the 'death' icon cleared
- fixed a bug that cause Cured Ingot + Black Diamond + T2 runes not being craft-able after crafting Red Ingot

- fixed a bug where purchasing Blood Ring from Rare goods vendor will show it in villager's barter inventory and not in Overview - Inventory
- fixed a bug where main character would have persisting Burnout effect
- Smelter and Alchemist 'No Materials' error messages will disappear when their queue is empty

Next on plan is to update Prologue with this version so that potential newcomers have the best experience.
After that I will start working on new patch that will be announced in few days!

Stay tuned and take care y'all!

Cheers,
