Happy new year! Here's another patch with a sprinkling of QoL, a bunch of little tweaks, and some freshly-squashed bugs. We hope you all have enjoyed the festivities, and look forward to big announcements coming up later this month!

Balance changes

• Igneous Armour now awards block based on the total damage you deal to enemy block with a die plus its burn damage, instead of awarding it for each individual hit
• Blood fountain Skully Bones and Chilly Bones now have 2 D6s instead of 1 D8 and 1 D4
• Increased shop tier upgrade requirements (25,000 for tier 2 and 100,000 for tier 3)
• Reduced character gambit upgrade requirements (25 crafts / 100 activations)
• Taking Sharp Shovel, Another, Smaller Chest, or Bag of Holding More Gems now grants more gems than refusing the offer outright
• Changed Equi Tea from a charge to a limited (1) trick (RIP)
• Increased chance of Blessings/Curses appearing on picking up at least one ([spoiler]you should try getting them all [/spoiler])
• Changed a certain secret requirement involving Punch ([spoiler][/spoiler])
• Made Cartographer's Grant award gems upon entering the final level
• Made F.F.'s Sippy Cup grant modifiers after using a blood fountain
• Kon now deals stack damage, allowing you to more efficiently delete enemies from existence
• Schadenfreude is now rare instead of uncommon, seeing as wither pumps out a lot of 0s these days
• Reduced Jog (120 mins, 50 points) and Sprint (90 mins, 100 points) time requirements, and added a third score, Speed Demon (60 mins, 200 points), for all you maths-ignoring auto attack enthusiasts out there
• You now get 25 points per [spoiler]sentinel[/spoiler] you beat, and they no longer count as elites for points
• Changed Technique #37's health threshold to 25%, and it now only needs you or the enemy to be under it to activate. To compensate, it is now a once per battle trick, and cannot kill bosses.
• [spoiler]Dicecade[/spoiler] now gains a new quantum poison die when a patron is consumed instead of just upgrading its stable one
