Performance And Crashes

• Updates to improve hitching and potential crashes.
• Fixed multiple reported crash bugs.

Quality Of Life

QOL OVERVIEW: While we still have quite a few things we are working on regarding Traits and long-term grinding (for those that wish to partake), we wanted to make a few changes in this patch to ensure players had more freedom to experiment. Players should find it much easier to Respec and they should also end up with more Scrap overall. We aren’t done here by any means, and these are not the larger changes we’ve mentioned on Discord and Reddit, but in the short term, they should help to ease the burden or reconfiguring your build and experimenting with different options.

• Increased Trait Cap by +5.
• Tome of Knowledge now grants Scrap and EXP when the player has reached Trait Cap.
• Orb of Undoing now has unlimited uses. Players can sell any extras for Scrap.
• Removed the Trait Requirement for equipping a second Archetype. Players may now slot their second Archetype as soon as they obtain / convert another Engram at Wallace.
• Removed the Scrap Cost for converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram (1000 to 0).
• Lowered the Lumenite Cost for converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram (10 to 5).
