Healthbars and Damage Indicators

- By default, health bars & damage indicators are only visible inside vaults, but this can be changed
- Damage Indicators colours varies based on the damage source (critical hits, chain attacks, abilities etc.), and colours can be altered in the accessibility settings

Living Gear & Adaptive Focus

- Living Modifier

   We wanted to include a new system for gear to automatically level with the player, in order to cut back on some of the “chore-feel” of constantly upgrading your gear, this modifier helps that aim\!

- - Will level up the gear pieces when levelling up after completing a vault
    - The level up is equal to your current level
    - Only applies to gear you're wearing or holding
  - This modifier is extremely rare, and can not be altered by any focus, it can also not occur on crafted gear.
- Adaptive Focus

   These focuses offer a more deterministic way of keeping gear for longer, with the same aim of lowering the “chore-feel” of upgrading your gear. It also makes finding Legendary pieces early, much stronger.

- - Obtained by scrapping Omega gear pieces, there is a 25% chance when scrapping a non-crafted omega gear piece to get the focus.
  - Used in the Artisan Station, in the Exotic Tab
    - It can be extremely expensive to use, based on the level delta, and the crafting potential on the gear piece.
  - It upgrades the tier of every modifier on the item
  - It takes up one repair slot on use

Coin Pouch

- This soulbound item can store and auto compress all of your vault bronze, silver, gold, platinum
- This item will auto-pickup any vault coin
- While having it in your inventory, vault workbenches will read directly from it, allowing you to not insert gold into the specific workstation.

Reworked the Vault Statistic screen

- On the overview tab, you can now see a discovery map, showing all the rooms you entered during the vault
- Added a “Score” indicator, which is calculated using most different actions you perform inside a vault.
- New tracking added
  - Vendoors Opened
  - Gold Spent
  - Dungeons Opened (and their rarity)
  - Archives Found
  - Pylons Used & Broken
  - Rooms Discovered (and a breakdown of rarity)
  - Soul Shards Collected
  - Champions Unalived
- Coin Piles mined now actually reflects the amount of coin piles, rather than the slices of a coin pile.
- Combat Stats is now broken down by Mob Group, rather than individual mobs.
  - Individual Mobs can still be tracked by holding shift on a mob group

New Gear Modifier, Heart Frag Chance

- When attacking a mob, you have a chance for it to drop a heart fragment which when picked up, will heal you one hit point (scaled with healing efficiency)
- This modifier can roll as a prefix on swords and axes \- and can also be crafted

Vault God Charms Overhaul

 For a while we have wanted to tie the Gods back to their original lore. We also feel that the old God Charm system was a bit too complex, and lacked impact. The new charm system should solve all of these issues, as charms are now exciting, special and potentially super powerful\!

- Charms can be found in Living Chests and Living Dungeons. It is the rarest item to occur in a Living container, shares rarity with Trinkets.
- A Charm can roll between Common and Omega
  - The roll determines how many affixes it has (1-4)
- Each God has a unique set of modifiers, tied to their lore

   Example Idona is focused on combat modifiers

- The modifiers on charms are unique in that they scale with your current God Reputation, which has a cap of 50 per god (changed from 25\)
- There is a rare chance to roll a God Charm with a Temporal Modifier. The temporal modifier will activate randomly inside a vault when the charm is used, for the time displayed on the charm (which scales with reputation)
  - Temporal Modifiers by god
    - Idona: Overpower | Soul Fest | Nova Explosion
    - Tenos: Totemic | Loot Goblin | Door Hunter
    - Velara: Ultimate Regen | Charming | Rock Solid
    - Wendarr: Pylon Hunter | Hunterino | Glued

Buffed Blight, increased the duration of the weakness effect to 5-8 seconds (previously 2-5 seconds)

 While this change may take some time to get used to, it certainly balances out the chests a bit better, ensuring exciting “uber” items in each chest container

When cursing crystals by over-stacking catalysts, curses now only remove 2½ minutes of the vault

 The old cursed modifier would add void pools, spawn bedrock blocks randomly, add tnt explosions, hex the mobs and lose time for the player
