Hello vikings! We're back after a few days off :D While we develop Asgard we will also update every week with some content, mostly QoL. On today's update you will find the following:

Difficulty

Weve been working on optimizing early stages difficulty. This way new players wont find the first realms too hard and the learning curve will be much smoother. This will apply to Midgard, Alfheim, Svartalfheim and Jotunheim. Another realm that was too hard in comparison to the rest was Muspelheim, so we lowered their HP and speed. If it still feels decompensated, please let us know.

Minimap

Structures are now shown in the mini map from the beginning of the adventure. This means that the Yggdrasil slot that upgraded this feature will be removed. This will help new players learn there are many areas you can interact with. And its also a good aid for any player!

Ascensions

You will now be able to ascend relics WHENEVER you want. They no longer have to be level 10. We believe this will make runs more fun and flexible. Disclaimer: remember R.E.S.E.T. relic will reset your weapons back to level 1 when ascended. This means that, while owning R.E.S.E.T. during a run, if you reach level 10 and ascend your relic, it will have a total of 20 levels (nothing changes here). But if you ascend at level 3, your relic will only have a total of 13 levels.

Other Improvements

• Relics that do not synergize with those you own or your character can get in their constellation, will not appear in the shop or on shrines. For example: if you dont have any thunder relics, passive relics related to thunder will not appear. This will happen as long as there are enough relics in the pool. If not, they will begin to appear.
• Gold mine shrine visually upgraded.
• UI changes on how many seeds you have in exchange for leaves in the Yggdrasil panel.
• UI changes related to the Constellation.
• The distribution of xp between regular mobs and elites has been homogenized in wave 1 to make leveling up easier.

Bugs

• Yggdrasil tree leaves should not reset anymore.
• In some cases, if doing a Daily Challenge from a realm you had not yet unlocked, many achievements were unlocked when they shouldnt.
• Axeldrs Thunder Armor 1st ascension was not working properly.
• Alfheim explosive slimes telegraph was not working properly.
• Alfheim saplings telegraph was not working properly.
