Legendary items will have an orange border and an orange name.
  
• Some of the negative traits applied by "Doomed To Fail" Cinder modifier have been nerfed. (making them have have less of a negative impact)
  
• Power Gems now grant +5 levels.
  
• Added a new consumable: Power Shards: Grant +1 level.
  
• Added a new item type: Charms. Charms apply stat bonuses while in inventory.

• The tent is now a charm and it recovers 1 heart upon entering a new floor while in inventory.
  
• Blood Chests now deal lethal damage to all health types (armor, soul hearts, normal health). Added new consumables and charms to rewards of Blood Chests.
  
• Armories have been reworked. You are now guaranteed to find at least 4 armories every run.
  
• Armories will contain a guaranteed level of weapon rarity depending on the floor.
  
• Armories don't contain a magic, melee and ranged weapon anymore. Armories now contain at least 1 weapon of the archetype you are currently holding. The other 2 weapon archetypes are random. The weighting that makes offered weapons seek to work with your investment of attributes is still in the game.
  
• Added a new special type of armory: Royal Armory. Royal Armories contain weapons 1 rarity tier higher than a normal armory would hold at that floor level. Royal Armories also offer 4 weapon choices instead of 3.
  
• Buffed, tweaked and changed the rewards you can get from exploding Chests and the Arcade.
  
• You can now bomb Altars and Shrines to get minor rewards.
• Did a massive balance pass on a ton of weapons. Some ranged and magic weapons have been nerfed slightly. Most short-range melee weapons had their damage increased.
  
• Uncommon and Common weapon appearance rates will now be manipulated to be less likely to appear late in runs.
  
• Added a new hidden mechanic which is called "intense situation". Some boss phases are now marked as "intense situations". Some enemy enchantments will now pause during "intense situations".
  
• Enemy enchantments are now internally split into primary and secondary enchantments. When (due to Twice Enchanted) 2 modifiers will spawn on a boss enemy there will always be 1 primary and 1 secondary enchantment chosen. This means some very oppressive enchantment combinations will now be avoided.
  
• Occult Grounds Cinder modifier now spawns 5 times the enchanted enemies, previously 4 times.
