Considerations In Up-Comming Patches

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section describes the suggestion that are being taken into account during the next patches. It does not mean that they will be implemented fully (or even at all). However, it does mean that we liked the idea and will try to implement it! :)[/spoiler] -(ON THE WORKS) An alchemy lab that would require gold and materials collected in other runs. These would be used to create special items for the next run (or even as a vault).
