Boneworld Challenges
A new game mode of sorts has been added to v1.8, the Boneworld Challenges which includes a Daily and Weekly Challenge. Let's face it, the Endless Skirmishes leaderboards is a bit of a trainwreck right now so this will give you score hunters something new to bash each other over.
If you're unfamiliar with Daily Challenges, when you start a challenge all the randomness is seeded, so everybody in the world playing that challenge will face the same enemies, be offered the same minions, relics, spells, etc, leveling the playing field for all. However, the Daily leaderboard is wiped every day as a new seed is generated. You also only get one shot at it, even death shall grip thee this time bonewretched! The Weekly is a bit different in that it generates a new seed and leaderboard each week and you can replay it however many times you like.
See you in the Boneworld! :]
Trading Cards have been boneraised!
Don't forget to boneraise a Barrow Boner in Gaben's honour! :]
Patch v1.7
- Class Heritage meta can now be deactivated.
- The Deamologist class Intrusion meta which allows you to summon extra deamons/diablos now reduces your starting max health.
- The Deamon Doppelganger's ability to copy your spell is now affected by how many spells you currently have (ie there's less chance of him copying if you only have 1 spell compared to 3 spells).
- The Bustling Bowels relic shall now be known as Bustling Diaper (you can thank American Dung Beetle for this!)
//Mausoleum Awakening
- The Royal Guard stage now has a champion, and the guards now drop diamonds.
- When King Gigald lands it now destroys any active cannon balls, and when he dies it destroys any of his projectiles.
- Cannon balls now flash so they're a bit easier to notice.
//Endless Skirmishes
- After four minutes it will attempt to spawn a higher tier enemy instead of several low tier enemies (so there's less enemies on screen which otherwise causes slowdown).
- It now spawns a tree giant at the five minute mark.
- Ratty orbic totems now occasionally spawn.
- Royal Guard now occasionally spawn from the 4:30 minute mark onwards.
//bug fixes
- When rebinding gamepad buttons it wasn't saving them correctly.

- Added button prompt tips for the keyboard numbers.
- Added a visual/sound effect to the Vampire class when he sucks the blood of enemies.
- The Vampire's Blood Invigoration meta is now based on the static starting health instead of a percentage of your current health (so increasing your maximum health is very beneficial).

- When the Deamonic Doppelganger casts a spell there's now a 25% chance it will copy one of the spells you currently hold.
- Added a sound effect to when the rat orb totem is charging up (so you know it's about to attack).

//bug fixes
- The Marrow Succor meta wasn't immediately updating the maximum health boost.
- The Wallop Hammerer minion wasn't recording its damage stat correctly.
- The invincibility gained just after choosing an item would override your existing invincilbility frames (annoying if you were already benefiting from a fairy).
- The Clairvoyant traveler wasn't showing your currant coins, and could donate to him even if you didn't have the coins.
- You could give the Miserable Wretch traveler a Barrow Boner even if you didn't have one.
- Having a lot of melee minions could cause a slowdown during the King Gigald fight.
- When using coins to buy Class Heritage it would wrongly say they cost 1111.

- Added an extra option to the Light Mode setting that increases the brightness a touch more.
- When casting a super spell you now need to let go of the Spell button in order to cast another (so you don't accidentally cast multiple super spells).
- Tweaked the Vampire's Blood Invigoration meta speed reduction (threshold now starts at 33% health).
- Changed the hero's Bootiful Chest level 3 meta to just offer coins for each second you survive (the previous perk was easily abusable).
- When the Bottled Fairy is used it now gives invincibility frames and has a visual/audio effect.
- Reduced the benefit of having two Bernard's Watches.
//Endless Skirmishes
- Tweaked the formula for how many enemies appear. A bit more enemies come at you at the beginning but the ramping up is a bit slower.
- Increased the spawn rate of champions (so the Deamologist doesn't have all the deamon fun).
- Treasure chests open 50% faster.
- Added a chance enemies won't drop a bone with chance increasing the longer the run (starts at the 4 minute mark).
- Bernard's Watch now has less effect the longer the run.
//bug fixes
- The Colossal Tooth relic was allowing you to raise giant type minis even without the needed minions.
- Clashful Cards: You could start with cards you don't already own.

- When entering the title screen from the intro screen it now checks your save file to give any appropriate achievements (in case they didn't drop correctly the first time).
- The Vampire's Blood Invigoration meta speed reduction when at low health now has a higher threshold before having an affect (starts at 50% health).
- Slightly reduced the Lord of the Land's sword swipe hit frames so is a bit easier to dash out of.
- The Necromancy Itemography now has help texts for giant and deamon minions (to help guide you on how to fill in unknown items).
//Endless Skirmishes
- Sorrowful Sullenwods: Enemies can now spawn at the top of the map.
- Tweaked the enemy health/damage scaling so it now only kicks in after 4 minutes but ramps up more quickly.

- Reduced the score needed for the "Forsaken Skirmish Supremacy" and "Sorrowful Skirmish Supremacy" achievements to 55555.
//bug fixes
- Changing the Keyboard rebindings weren't being saved correctly.
- The "Heroic Card Collector" and "Boneraiser Card Collector" achievements weren't droppping.
- The Bonemeldus Hammerer minion wasn't appearing as a bonerise (you need two of the following level 3 minions: Bell-ead, Bomber, Guard, Spearer, Tangler).
- If you were visted by the Miserable Wretch travelor and he had nothing to give you then opening the Status Screen would cause a crash.
- Some of the Roaming Travelers wrongly allowed you to select a third empty option.
