Switch Port Progress

Patch Notes!

HOTBAR BALANCE CHANGE

SPELLSHAPER CHANGE

BALANCE

• Soulkeeper’s Gold emblem that summons Soulshades on crit now has a 5 turn internal cooldown (up from 3)
  

BUGS

• Fixed bug where a number of “reaction” type abilities were not evaluating their trigger conditions correctly and thus triggering too often. For example, Detect Weakness was triggering and being consumed even when attacking at unmarked angles.
  
• Fixed bug where Thundering Lion charges were consumed with some attacks (such as Spears at range 2) without triggering the lightning strike effect. Now, the charges should ONLY be consumed if the effect triggers.
  
• Fixed bug where monsters with “Stalking” behavior could engage in this behavior regardless of player Stealth and aggro-reduction effects
  
• It should now be possible to Fast Travel from town if you don’t have any kind of portal open.
  
• Fixed bug where bosses and their “adds” were not nearly as aggressive as intended
  
• Fixed bug where boss “adds” such as the bandits in the first boss fight were giving too much JP
  
• Final boss phase 2 is now immovable, which should prevent some softlocking bugs that were possible.
  
• Fixed some logic bugs with 2nd job trial floor, e.g. monsters giving XP/JP when they shouldn’t
  
• Fixed visual oddities with Craggan’s summoned mud drawing on top of certain objects and actors
  
• Fixed extra staircase spawning after the final boss is defeated.
  
• Fixed bug where unknown characters in your character / pet names would mess up various displays such as the combat log. These characters are now replaced with question marks. (This is true for all game languages.)
  
• Fixed bug where Percy’s Blessing of Protection was not lasting long enough.
  
• You can no longer assign passive abilities to your hotbar by pressing 1-8 on the Purchase Abilities page
  
• Fixed bug in Equipment and Inventory UIs where sometimes interacting with an item would do nothing
  

CONTENT/GAMEPLAY

• New champion mods: Heavy and Massive! These champions cannot be pushed or pulled, and cause damage with each step they take. (Massive monsters cause even more.)
  
  
• New champion mod (higher level): Resist-Piercing! These champions pierce 50% of your resistances with their attacks, so watch out!
  
  
• Three new monsters with new powers and abilities: the Marbled Banebite, Maniox, and Inferno Spirit!
  
  
• Magic Books can now get mods that increase single-elemental damage by 18% (lower rank items) or 30% (higher rank), thus making 10 new magic mods total! You can stack multiple elements (such as a boost to Fire and a boost to Water), but the lower and higher-rank versions of the
• same* element mods are not compatible.
  
  
• Added a new possible map layout type to Item Dreams
  

LOCALIZATION

• Beta support for Chinese and German!
  
• (JP) Various adjustments to font rendering and sizing for the pixel font. It should look best at 720p/1080p on almost all UIs.
  
• (JP) You can now select a “smooth” Vector style look. Just click the smooth, non-pixelized Japanese flag on the title screen and restart the game.
  

ENGINE

• Minor optimization to monster pathfinding / movement.
  
• Various other minor optimizations
  

WRITING

• Circlet of Persuasion is now “Charm Circlet”
  
  
• Fixed slightly awkward game log message when a monster heals you (“Monster heals yourself for…”)
  

ART/VISUALS

• Added a bit more fanfare when defeating a boss
  

AUDIO/MUSIC

• Added SFX for completing a side area
  

BALANCE

• Eased the difficulty of Job Trials in a few ways. Max # of flask and consumable uses has been increased based on trial level. There are now slightly fewer monsters in level 3 trials. Also, monsters no longer receive
• extra* stat and health scaling based on job trial level (previously, they received up to +30% to core stats and health, on top of existing scaling.)
  
  
• Slightly scaled up Percy’s healing costs. It is still not nearly as exponential as before, but now the cost of repeated heals will raise slightly more as you go up in level.
  
  
• Talrose should no longer send you to places far above your level
  
  
• Nando’s brothers (Wando, Armando, Juliando, Rando) now have a better chance of stocking magical gear, and this gear may have more affixes - especially as you get higher in level
  
  
• Heated Sandjaws (uncommon monster variant that shows up in a couple areas) can no longer be a rumor target
  
  
• Changed the way rarity impacts weapon power. Previously, increasing the number of mods on a weapon would increase its raw power by a %. However, this scaling had numerous issues such as: (1) high-rank weapons gaining far too much power simply due to rarity, (2) power fluctuating based on order of mods added, (3) power fluctuating based on an item being found/bought vs. Dreamcaster upgraded, etc.
  
  Now, weapons with more mods will still have more power than their base counterparts, but this scaling has been toned down and should be consistent regardless of Dreamcaster upgrades or the order of mods added.
  
  
• Dream rumors will now only start appearing when you are at least level 5
• and* have the Dreamcaster unlocked
  
  
• Adjusted the costs of some job abilities to help normalize the overall cost of mastering a job. Passives are now generally a bit more expensive and some jobs that had slightly-too-cheap abilities overall are more in line with the average.
  
  
• Champion monsters now give +10jp base (scaled down/up depending on relative level)
  
  
• Elemental Kings now give +50jp base
  
  
• Bosses now give +150jp base
  

BUGS

• Really, actually fixed bug with Overdrawing weapons on the hotbar not recognizing their max range on mouse click
  
• The cooking tutorial popup should no longer overlap other cutscenes or events in Riverstone Camp
  
• Fixed bug introduced in 1.15 with Edge Thane innate bonuses not working correctly
  
• The new Item Dream aura popup font now uses regular game font, so it can represent characters like %% properly
  
• Fixed Spirit Wolf’s “Wolf Lunge” behavior
  
• Fixed bug with Skill Orb version of Runic Crystal causing random game errors
  
• Attempted fix for monster transparency layer sometimes rendering at the wrong rotation
  
• Fixed buggy monster behavior
  
• The default cursor position during challenge selection now defaults to “New Game” instead of “Weekly Challenge”
  
• Fixed minor bugs with name input screen
  
• Fixed bug where the harvest food dialogue could override certain cutscenes in the Corral
  
• Fixed bug where, if you found a legendary item, rumors offering that item as a reward would disappear. Now, those rumors will simply change their reward.
  
• Also fixed bug where dream rumors related to legendary items could sometimes disappear
  
• Fixed battle popup text font inconsistencies
  
• (JP) UI navigation shortcut text should now be localized / correct font
  
• Fixed text bug in elemental rumor descriptions
  
• Fixed bug where mouse cursor was still affecting menus even when disabled
  
• Fixed some odd behavior with the search bar in the Dreamcaster interface (it should now completely clear when going back and forth between item and orb select mode)
  
• Fixed bug where menu UI could be opened during the pre-boss 3 cutscene
  
• Fixed some visual ugliness when dialog boxes first open
  
• Fixed AI bug with certain self-buffing monster abilities that could cause monsters to move around or pass turns instead of doing things
  
• (Audio) Fixed loop point in the ‘escaped frog’ corral theme
  
• The Herbalist quest should no longer reset on multiple NG+ playthroughs
  
• In the Dreamcaster UI, difficulty estimates should be a bit more accurate (some dreams were being estimated as a little too easy.) Also, the dreams themselves should now display the correct adjusted difficulty level.
  
• Fixed bug where pets using movement abilities outside of combat (such as Fungal Toads’ hop) would reset their “in combat” timer
  

CONTENT/GAMEPLAY

• Experimental: When trying to use an ability that requires a certain weapon type, you will automatically switch to that weapon if it is on your hotbar. Once the ability executes, you will switch back at the end of the turn (once enemies have acted.)
  
  
• You can now issue a command to any pet telling them to not attack at all. This behavior state can be un-toggled at any time from the same pet command menu. Pets in this state will still move around and use support abilities, but will not take any offensive actions.
  

ENGINE

• Monsterpedia now supports scrolling (necessary if we want to display even MORE monsters!)
  

QUALITY OF LIFE

• Spike traps are removed from the first boss fight upon victory. The map doesn’t visually change, but the spikes no longer deal damage.
  
• Rumors that ask you to defeat X monsters with an element will now mention that the monsters can be found in multiple locations, but give you a specific location to try (to make life easier)
  
• You should no longer get elemental rumors targeted at cleared side areas with monsters that only live in those side areas
  
• Reorganized job skill lists so that passives are always at the bottom (except for Budoka’s Vital Point: Pain, which gets a discount)
  
• When Phasing/Blinking mobs “Reactive Warp” ability triggers, popup and log text now appears indicating this
  
• If you have Changed Clothes in the wardrobe, your sprite will now change when you switch jobs. Previously it didn’t, which meant you could change jobs and not have any ability to switch to that new job’s sprite (since for Change Clothes to be available for a job, you must first spend JP in it)
  
• Pushing any direction (arrow keys, joystick) while dialog text is ‘typing’ will now finish the text.
  
• The Dreamcaster UI now displays ALL available orbs, but marks unusable orbs in red. Unusable orbs were previously hidden from view, which was confusing. Hovering over the orb will show you
• why* the orb is not compatible.
  

WRITING

• (JP) Translated some miscellaneous English-only dialogues and messages from recent patches
  

Patch Summary

Patch Notes 1.14 and 1.15 (Combined)

ART/VISUALS

• Allies buffed by moonbeams (from the Moonbow legendary) now show the buff animation
  
• Improved the cutscene involving the Dreamcaster in town
  
• Improved the cutscene involving the escaped frog
  
• Improved the cutscene when picking up the cube from Dirtbeak for the first time
  

AUDIO/MUSIC

• New music for the escaped frog sequence
  
• Replaced some placeholder SFX
  
• Crab Grab now has SFX
  
• Planting a tree now has SFX
  
• Selecting items in your inventory / equipment screen now has SFX
  
• Various Monster Corral actions now have SFX
  

BALANCE

• Pet insurance cost is now simply player level
• 75 gold, rather than monster level.
  
  
• Gambler’s Cheat Death passive now works a bit differently. Now, if it triggers from any damage source, you cannot die from any other damage sources that turn. For example: 5 monsters attack you. The 3rd monster’s attack would normally reduce you to 0 Health, but Cheat Death triggers. Previously, the 4th and 5th monsters could still defeat you. Now, they cannot.
  
  
• Brigand’s Detect Weakness passive now has a 50% higher chance of marking a monster each turn, and the damage bonus has been raised to +100% (up from +35%)
  
  
• Edge Thane’s Glorious Battler passive now also grants 25 CT when defeating a non-worthless enemy with a song active.
  
  
• Edge Thane’s innate abilities have more generous Health thresholds. The base innate now triggers when health is <= 60% instead of 50%, and the final innate (triggers when health is <= 33% instead of 25%. Also, when the base innate triggers, your damage mitigation is increased by 20% (up from 15%).
  
  
• Budoka’s Vital Point: Bleed now has a buffed ‘trigger’ effect. Once an enemy is marked for bleeding and you strike them with another Budoka technique, the bleed will spread to enemies within
• 3* tiles of the original enemy, instead of within 1 tile.
  
  
• For the first 3/4 of the dungeon, there is now a ~2 turn buffer from when you first enter a floor to when monsters can aggro you naturally. This should help with edge cases where a ton of aggressive monsters happen to spawn right next to stairs. However, note that if the monsters were already aggressive, or if you attack them, they will still fight back. Note: This does not apply on New Game+.
  
  
• Monsters knocked out with a Monster Mallet should now gain immunity to mud and lava, and any ‘charged’ ability they may have been using should now be canceled
  
  
• Jade Beetle’s ‘Armor Break’ skill removed (was only accessible by pet Jade Beetles)
  
  
• Flat damage resistance (such as the Physical damage reduction granted by Medium and Heavy armor) is now applied AFTER your % resistance. This is most noticeable when you have higher resistance values.
  
  
• Percy’s healing costs have been reduced to a flat, linearly scaling 50 -> 100 -> 150g (etc), resetting each time you level up. The costs are no longer based on character level. JP healing starts at 100jp and increases by 25jp per time you heal in your current level.
  
  
• The cost to deposit an item at the bank has been reduced by about 20% on average
  
  

BUGS

• Attempted fix for bug where monster echoes and powerups would sometimes not trigger if they spawned on top of you. The powerups should now be obtained automatically at the end of the turn
  
• Job Trials are now accessible immediately in New Game+ (if you’ve mastered your current job)
  
• When hovering your cursor over an enemy and using a melee weapon with an Overdrawing bow on your hotbar, clicking on an enemy at max range should properly switch to the Overdrawing bow

• Fixed bugs with effects that required enemies to have not noticed you (these were always triggering)
  
• Fixed visual bug with ‘icy ground’ (dropped by Frosted Jellies) sprite
  
• Fixed bug where certain status effect sprites would “stick” to a corral pet and never come off
  
• Corral pets should now gain XP even if you are at the level cap

• Fixed health bars sometimes rotating out of position
  
• Attempted fix at issue where Fungal Columns (and some other enemies) would occasionally be invisible
  
• Monsters KO’d with monster mallet should no longer take lava damage (this should have been fixed already, so re-fixed?)

• Gold cost of upgrading bank storage has been capped at your max gold held amount

• Upon completing an Item Dream, you’ll now see a popup showing the results of your Dream run: gold, XP, and JP earned, fountains found, items looted, and Goldfrogs caught. You’ll also see what (if any) upgrades your item got!
