[h2]Major changes[/h2]

• The holiday event started!
  
• The tavern has been decorated and rocks a new (temporary) music track!
  
• Some enemies decided to celebrate Christmas with you!
  

[h2]Minor changes[/h2]

• Added a new tool-tip to items that provide maximum health which informs you whether or not the item will recover hearts upon being attuned or not.
  
• The Death Mark eye that follows you around is now very transparent during combat.

• Pawn Shops are less common.
  

[h2]Cinder and Cinder-related changes[/h2]

• The Cinder modifier Rust, Pestilence and Sin has been reworked into: Pestilence. I didn't like what the trait did to the game. It made red health, armor and soul hearts really bad. High cinder is the time to make use of some of the defensive options the game provides and that trait took those options away. Pestilence now relates to the Poison status effect, making it even more punishing. Better dodge those green projectiles!
  
• Antidote Potions don't grant immunity to poison anymore.
  
• Removed the curse that would reduce maximum hearts by 1 and replaced it with a curse that will one-time poison you on infliction.
  
• Automaton HP has been reduced slightly.

• Flame Wand DMG increased from 275-300 DMG to 375-400 DMG and increased attack speed from 2 to 3 APS.
  
• The Hero Sword now shoots 2 projectiles. (doesn't really change much as no sword can shot with their main attacks)
  
• Butcher Cleaver now deals 300% more bleed damage, previously 200%.
  
• Gimmer Shred intelligence scaling increased from E to A.
  
• Buster Blade rarity reduced from Epic to Rare.
  
• Moonshine Greatsword intelligence scaling increased from A to S.
  
• Skinning Knife attack speed increased from 1.5 to 2 APS.
