Hey everyone,

today we have a huge content update! The biggest one since we launched into Early Access two months ago. We want to thank everyone who tested the patch on the beta branch and reported issues

New Items

This patch comes with 5 new craftable items:

King Crown

Protects buffs and makes gems socketed inside more effective.

King Goobert

A royal species of Goobert that heals, protects buffs, and makes gemstones socketed inside stronger.

Serpent Staff

Neutral Magic Staff upgrade that applies ramping Poison.

Spiked Staff

Berserker finally has her own staff! This one generates Empower.

Thornbloom

Weapon that generates Spikes and Empower and increases your health when you gain Empower stacks.

New Pyromancer Outfit

This outfit is inspired by the Obsidian dragon and now available to unlock in the wardrobe!

Item Info Panel

In the item library, you can now find a new panel that shows information for every item such as

• Its gold cost
• Which classes can buy or craft it
• How often you found the item, how often you bought it in the shop
• Your top win counter and your best rank when surviving with the item in your backpack
• Flavor text (currently not all items have their own text yet, we're working on it!)
• Its crafting ingredients and/or gate item

Your stats will be recorded from 0.9.8 onward. We will add more information to the panel based on your feedback! To switch between the filters and this info panel, click the tabs on the top right or press arrow keys/trigger buttons on your controller. You can also earn stars now! Every item can have a Bronze, Silver or Gold star, or a Diamond, depending on how far you made it with it in your backpack. In the item library, press Alt to show the medals directly on the items. With the new items we make some balance adjustments, there will probably be more changes next week when we can judge the impact the new items have on the meta.
