ADDITIONS

• There's a new gear modifer in the game called spell (type) reduction. Simply put, while wearing this stuff you'll take X points of damage less when hit by that particular enemy spell. The effect stacks, which is always nice.
  
  Here are the items that gained this new property:
  
  Dark Orb, Flames Damage -2
  Dragonscale Armor, Flames Damage -3
  Dragonscale Helm, Flames Damage -2
  Dragonscale Shield, Flames Damage -2
  
  Fur Hat, Ice Damage -1
  Northern Cap, Ice Damage -2
  Old Damp Boot, Ice Damage -2
  Cold Cloak, Ice Damage -5
  
  Equin's Axe, Zap Damage -4
  Spectral Orb, Zap Damage -5
  Thunder Sword, Zap Damage -8
  
  Thieves' Crown, Flames / Ice Damage -4
  Lich Crown, Ice / Zap Damage -3
  Dirn's Platemail, Flames / Ice / Zap Damage -2
  
  It's important to note that this damage reduction is applied after effects like Resist Fire and etc. Therefore you'd get the 50% damage reduction of something like Resist Fire and then get the additional points of damage reduction afterwards.
  
  
  
  
• New Item: Fungi Rod! A nice magic wand that will never let you get poisoned from eating dungeon mushrooms. How nice! It's a rare find during a Coven Floor Event. Please refer to my Floor Event Guide on the ETL community hub for further info.
  
  
• Return of an old Item: Depths Armor! I once had to take this great armor out to make room for something else, but now that I have the space it's baaaaaack! I did chance its stats slightly to something better suited for Warriors: DEF 15 / MDEF 5. (Old stats were DEF 15 / STR 1). Like the Fungi Rod this can sometimes be found on a Coven Floor Event.
  
  
• New Item: Cursed Belt! In case you couldn't tell, I am a gigantic Dragon Warrior / Quest fan and have been for over 30 years. As such I've added this item to my game, as a small bit o' homage. Unlike that game though this isn't super rare and is a good way to help players attain that elusive 'Cursed Mofo' achievement. Stats are: DEF -2 / Max STM 5. Usable by all 5 classes.
  
  
• New Item: Cook Book! This is the 2nd item in the game that will work by simply being in your backpack. If you own this thing your hunger level will never go down. As you can imagine, this tends to be on the rare side.
  
  
• Specials Screen Additional Info: Flames / Ice / Zap Reduction (along with the # of points that would be reduced), Fat Bastard, & Fungi Gourmet.
  

CHANGES

• The Campfire Set's item description has been changed to let players know you'll also recover from hunger fully when you use it.
  
  
• In case you missed it, the Thief can now equip the Short Bow & Hunting Bow. The Hunting Bow in particular is cool for its new Carve (meat) property from enemies.
  

FIXES

ADDITIONS

• There's now 3 more random events possible behind Iron doors: Sleepy Time Bats, Frozen Pit, & Druid "Massage Table".
  
  
• Five new items added:
  
  Trap Cap: The Cap is usable by any class and will award you XP for each point of trap damage taken. This can be from trapped chests or stepping on floor hazards too (eating poison mushrooms doesn't count, however.) This item can possibly also be found at a Cultist Den too.
  
  Pig Rune: This rune is not supre rare however it can be super powerful. It grants you ATK +8 and DEF +4, however while it's equipped you'll gain hunger at a much higher rate. Aside from potentially finding it in a chest, the Pig Rune is also a possibility from the Guildmaster's "Mystery Rune" purchase option.
  
  Porcupine Rune: A common enough rune that will damage any enemy that dares to strike you! Can also be part of the Guildmaster's "Mystery Rune" purchase option.
  
  Zweihander: A superior class two handed sword for you aspiring warriors out there. Careful, it's heavy! (Has also been added to the possible XGA Shop stock).
  
  Biff's Dagger: "An autographed dagger, better get your damn hands off it!". Fairly typical starting knife but also has +3 Max STM on it. Pretty commonplace throughout the early game.
  
  
  
  
• Damage numbers done to you by the enemy are now outlined in black and stand out much more than before.
  
  
• The game now warns you when you're hungry as well as when you're actively starving and taking damage per step. This is done through 2 different types of Apple icon at the top left-hand side of the game screen. Consider this a great time to start looking for / eating that food!
  
  
• New gear property: Spiked Defense! Enemies who touch you in battle will take damage from your spikes. You'll know they took damage this way because the sfx is different. Some existing gear had this property added:
  
  Spiked Cap: +1
  Porcupine Rune: +1
  Spiked Armor: +2
  Spiked Shield: +2
  Derpius: +3
  Razorback Armor: +4
  
  Best of all, this damage all stacks! Enemies will be affected by spike damage when they deal a regular attack, poison attack, shield bash, and even when they steal something off you.
  
  
• New entries for the Special Screen include Anti-Magic effects, Poisoning (and how many steps of damage you'll take before it wears off), Hungry, Voracious Appetite, Spiked Defense, and Trap Damage To XP.
  

CHANGES

• Chances of getting a Storage Floor event were increased from 5% to 7% on floors 2 through 6. Since Hunger is now a thing it only makes sense to have these show up more often to help with your food reserves.
  
  
• The Red Lantern phase ATK bonus went from +25% to +50%. This goes for both you and the enemy.
  
  
• The Blue Lantern phase MATK bonus also went from +25% to +50%. This goes for you and your enemy's magic spells (damage / elemental type).
  
  
• The little "REMOVE" icon on the gear screen now alternates between visible and invisible, to show you the normal "[TAB] = BACK" text.
  
  
• The Butter Fingers trait now correctly lists that the character has a slightly higher chance of breaking items when used. This was always the case, it just didn't list this before specifically.
  
  
• Any food item you view in your gear screen has "EAT" as an option (used to be "USE"). These perform the same exact way, only now you'll be extra cued in when a particular item will also help you lose hunger.
  
  
• The first page of the Tutorial now has flashing arrows and a red text at the bottom letting you know you can [TAB] / press the [ B ] button to exit.
  
  
• Very first time players will be asked if they want to view the Tutorial before playing. Since this is a new addition, even people who've played the game before will now see this screen pop up upon starting a new game. It will only ever ask this once, so don't sweat it. ːsteamhappyː
  
  
• The tutorial page that explains items now lists the correct amount at 466.
  

FIXES

• Fixed the Iron door event for this guy. Sometimes he wouldn't show and just toss holy water on you before you knew what had happened.
  
  
• Spelling correction on the special screen for the Lightning Resistance entry.
  

ADDITIONS

• New player battle action: SLEEP. Do you hate how some enemies can put you to sleep and wail on you? Now, you have the opportunity to do the same! Enemies who are put to sleep do so for several rounds. The exact forumla for success is:
  
  Put enemy to sleep chance = Int(MAG * 2.5) +5%
  
  There's no special enemy defense for this, so the spell has a chance to work vs. bosses and champs too. The spell requires 5 STM to cast, which is quite a bargin.
  
  NOTE: Petrified & Sleep status can't exist at the same time, so if an enemy's got one of these statuses then the other one will automatically fail.
  
  
• New Item: Tome (Sleep). The crafty Wizard gets another book thrown into the mix, that allows him to cast the above mentioned Sleep spell.
  
  
• Tome (Sleep) was added to the Wizard Shop pool. It costs $2000.
  
  
• There's some code in the game where you will always get a minor rune on floor 16, if you haven't already found one. No sense in having that 5th equipment slot go to waste, right?
  
  
• There's a new page on the Tutorial section concerning the hunger mechanic.
  
  
• Started page 24 of the Items Found Log. So far it just has the Sleep Tome on it.
  

CHANGES

• The Hunting Bow now gains the new 'Carve' modifier (like the Hunting Knife) at a slightly lesser chance to work at 3% per kill. If successful you'll gain some Fresh Meat from your defeated foe.
  
  
• Icebox Floor events double the hunger rate for your character. Must be all that shivering.
  
  
• Fish Bones will now give Cultists positive benefits like the other rotten food in the game do.
  
  
• The Gorgon Club can no longer be equipped by the Thief. It's Warrior / Cleric only.
  
  
• Every food item in the game now fills your hunger gauge to some degree. For the exact info, please refer to the updated ETL Items Spreadsheet linked to below.
  
  
• Resting at a campfire fills your hunger gauge to full. As if these weren't good enough before!
  
  
• Renting a room at a Guild also fills your hunger gauge to full. Bed & Breakfast or something like that.
  
  
  
  
• The indoor buildings screen looks a bit better now. Shadows and all that. Trust me it looks better haha.
  
  
• The Nightblade sword gained the Sleep effect in battle (lost Dodge)
  
  
• The King's Scepter gained the Sleep effect in battle also.
  
  
• The tutorial page that mentions the items now reflects the proper total of 461.

• New enemy status: PETRIFY. There are now a few items in the game that will allow you to turn the enemy to stone. This will work 100% of the time.
  
  When an enemy is petrified, it becomes motionless for several turns. While turned to stone any enemy gains +20 DEF (!) Petrified enemies can not attack or perform any other action until it wears off. You wil be able to run from any petrified non-boss enemy 100% of the time, provided there's an empty spot to run to.
  
  Keep in mind that petrified enemies can still be injured by your offensive spells just the same!
  
  
• 5 of the new items are special gems that you can mine out of gold deposits occasionally. Unlike other gems like Zircons or Diamonds these have special properties and can be equipped in your player's rune slot. Unlike runes you don't have to be level 7 in order to do so.
  
  
• New item modifier: Reflection! Some new (and existing items) now have a chance to reflect enemy elemental spells harmlessly away from the player. The chances are small, however they stack. This is a great way to protect yourself, you Warriors out there!
  
  NOTE: Spells affected by Reflect- FLAMES, ICE, & ZAP.
  
  
• New item modifier: Fair Fight! This modifier prevents enemies from calling for help in battle. How's about that?
  
  
• New item modifier: Carve! Killing an enemy either in battle or through auto killing will have a 5% chance to carve its corpse, giving you Fresh Meat. Fresh Meat is very nice and can heal you 10 HP and 4 STM. As long as you have the room in your backpack you'll be able to obtain the meat.
  
  
• New item modifier: Magic ATK up while Wet! While equipped with an item with this your spells will do +40% damage while it's raining. Imagine having this and casting ZAP in the rain? God damn!
  
  
• New item modifier: Slam Heal! While equipped with an item like this you'll heal 1 HP each time you close a door!
  
  
• New item modifier: Works while in backpack! This will for sure be pretty rare, but anything with this mod will give you the effect without having to actually equip it. Nice!
  
  
• Motolov Cocktails can now be found at Cultist Dens occasionally.
  

CHANGES

• Dragonscale Helm gained: Fire Damage on Strike modifier
  
• Warding Vest gained: Reflection (5%)
  
• Wizard Crown gained: Reflection (10%)
  
• Pleebius Stick gained: Petrify battle ability
  
• Lich Archstaff gained: Petrify battle ability

• Hunting Knife gained: Carve modifier, loses +1 HP per kill
  
• Plague Frog now has the Frogskin Coat as a stealable item
  
• Rival now has the Surcoat as a stealable item
  
• You can now potentially get a Motolov Cocktail from cauldrons
  
• Tutorial now mentions the correct amount of items in the game (460 vs. 440)
  

FIXES

• Fixed it where the mod 'kills heal +X HP wasn't displaying properly on the Special screen.
  
• Fixed a bug where having an full backpack allowed you to trigger one of the Iron Door events you weren't supposed to be able to (whoops, lol..)

ADDITIONS

• Iron Doors are locked and require some lockpicking mumbo-jumbo to enter. The chances to pick the lock are exactly the same as they are on the regular locked doors you'll see further down in the dungeon. The big difference is that these are set into the walls, and let you enter special event rooms like this:
  
  
  
  Inside you'll run into all kinds of nutty stuff. Most require a choice on your behalf, which is pretty fun too. A select few events are geared towards particular classes, who will always be successful with the choice you've made.
  
  I don't want to spoil everything however there are 17 different types of events and I for sure will add way more when I can. Iron doors have a chance to appear from floors 7+.
  

CHANGES

• I've redone some of the graphics for the shops and cultist dens so that they have a cool-looking faded brick wall in the background. I think it looks better so they had to go in.
  

FIXES

• The Enemy Bait can now be used as an item to heal your guy +20 HP. It was supposed to do this before however I must've missed it. ːsteamfacepalmː
