Patch Notes/3.6.0

Planned release on CurseForge is Sunday 22/1

Additions

Added Solo Vault Spirits, and added a Rescue Bonus for Coop Spirits
- A spirit now spawns on the player’s spawn point if they are the last person alive in a vault to unalive
- A player can hover the recover button in the Spirit Extractor GUI to get an estimate what their spirit would cost to recover - this value scales with gear and level
- The spirit can be placed in the spirit extractor and items can be recovered for a cost, the cost increases with level and gear equipped
- A “Recovery Penalty” multiplier has been added (for all spirit extractors) - the more revives the player performs, the higher the multiplier becomes. This multiplier slowly decays when the player completes a vault objective
- If a Spirit is rescued in a coop vault a “Rescue” reduction will be applied, it rolls randomly and lowers the cost of the spirit by 30-90%
- Spirits can be recycled for a vault crystal instead of revived
Added 4 new common rooms with 40+ new POI’s
- These room has a very high ore focus and a very low chest focus
- This is phase 2 of our ore overhaul/rework
Added Pylons! [our original replacement for chocolate bars etc is finally here pag]
- Appears randomly in common rooms
- Gives the player a timed buff (scales with level)
Added Eternal Pedestals
- Eternals no longer “live” in the Cryo Chamber, they are made in the cryo chamber but the player now have to get them out and put them on an Eternal Pedestal in order to interact with them
- Eternals now render their gear in the overworld
- Players only need 1 cryo chamber, as the eternals are removed from it when completed, this allows players to automate eternal creation
Added a new bottom section to the Stables Vendor room, with more potential shop altars
Added the vault god armour sets, unlockable by reaching 100 reputation point in the god
Added Mega Torch armour transmog
Added Crayon Armour transmogs (unique)
Added backwards compatibility unlock for transmogs
Added a new armour set: Pirate (omega)
Tool Vise can now overstack its content
Added a new command, available for players to set their difficulty locally, /thevault localdifficulty
Added 13 new sword models, discoverable in all rarities from rare+
Added Burger Pickles in living chests past level 54
Added a recipe for Amplifying, Nullifying and Fundamental Focus
Added a Local difficulty option, a player, without OP unless disabled by server OP, can change their local difficulty by using the command /thevault localdifficulty <player> <difficulty> - If a player does not assign a difficulty it will use the global difficulty of the server instead

Kill a boss objective changed to: “Hunt The Guardians”

The main goal of this overhaul is to turn the “kill a boss” into a combat objective over an exploration objective with the primary purpose of bolting through vaults to find obelisks. Additionally, the obelisk objective in its current state lacks coop incentives as it is fully global. To address these issues, the following changes were made:

Note the current values are hypothetical and untested, things like Guardian damage, health, ai behavior etc will be monitored on the VHSMP over the next few days and then adjusted.

Obelisk spawn rate has been increased.
After activating an obelisk, Vault Guardians will spawn. They must all be slain in order to complete the task. The total number is shown on the HUD.
There are two classes of guardians, Bruisers and Arbalists.
The vault completes when all guardians have fallen.
Bosses are for now completely removed, but will return in another shape/form/objective in the future
