v0.20 Patch Notes - Events & Fortunes

This update is packed full of content!

We've added a ton of New Events (50+) and revamped the Event UI to provide a cleaner and more robust experience for the player. This includes a new Dice Rolling System with roll bonuses based on character stats.

We've added Fortunes which are special types of items your character can obtain to give them special permanent bonuses and/or abilities.

Here are a few examples of what Fortunes can do:

• Might of the Ymir allows you to dual wield 2-handed weapons but at a cost.
  
• Unholy Sacrifice allows you to detonate your summons, dealing massive damage to those nearby.
  
• Mirror Shard allows you to summon a clone your character to assist you in battle
  

There are many more you'll have to find as you venture forth in the Stolen Realm. We're excited to see how you guys put these new Fortunes to use!

We hope you enjoy this update! Thanks for playing!

General Changes
