Getting back into it! Happy Halloween, everyone! This update finalizes the list of weapons and armor! Weird, right? :D



Newly added are Scythes, Katanas, and Claws!
Not only that, but ALL weapons now have special Feats that have a 20% chance to trigger ANY time you attack. So, if a character doesn't have a good spell option or is out of MP, just attacking still has a good chance to turn the tide of battle!



Staves are a little different in this regard - their Feat is linked to the elemental type and power of the Staff. Check those out. ;)
