Minor update: 354

• Added Voidbreach Tome for Breach xp, available from Orin
• Optimized various systems, gaining 30-40fps depending on your GPU. If your system is below minimum spec, you may not see such gains.

• Updated town names to remove unnecessary health bars

• Added value estimations to community loadouts, with in-game estimating items you don't currently own
• Adjusted out of energy damage to a fixed 50 damage. Because you're out of energy, your weapon/artifact effects that would have been applied to the hit, are suppressed
• You can now only hold up to 50 Catalyst of Convergence at once. If you currently have more, you'll still be able to use them all but you won't receive more until you reduce below 50
• Internal progress on co-op. We'll be releasing another playtest soon, which will allow Founder's Token holders to create a group and invite other players (including those without a Founder's Token) and play adventures with them. Initially groups will be limited to 2.

Minor update: 353

• Added the ability to share a loadout with the community. Shared loadouts can be browsed in-game from the loadout panel, or on the website and cost 1 ENJ to create. Those applying the created loadouts can choose to tip the creator 0.1 ENJ once as a thank you. Loadout cards can be shared on Social media by simply pasting a link to the website loadout link
• Added a new Player profile card, player profile cards can be shared by simply pasting a link to the player profile link

Minor update: 350

• Terror Descent has officially descended for the last time. Descending Nightmare has now moved to Talmuth for easier access and significantly fewer awkward travel arrangements
• Potions in Descending Nightmare and Descending Hellfire now last for the entire adventure instead of expiring every floor. Your potion bottles have finally discovered persistence
• Descending Nightmare can now be entered by free players, though a Descending Nightmare Key is still required. The nightmares themselves remain free of charge
• Wallet unlinking can now be performed directly in-game. Support will no longer manually unlink wallets. If you still have access to your currently linked wallet, you can quickly verify ownership in-game by signing a transaction. This is the fastest, lowest cost, and least restrictive method for unlinking your wallet. If you no longer have access to your previous wallet, you can instead use the wallet recovery process. Recovery requests incur a higher fee and include additional security restrictions to help protect player accounts and collectibles.
• Players no longer auto start on lower DN/DH levels. Instead you must interact with the campfire to start, no matter which level you're on.
