New day 6 encounter: Salesman


One of the options from the Salesman will give you discounts!

[h3]Balance:[/h3]
🟢Healing Word (Common): 5 heal --> 10 heal
🟢Void Stinger (Legendary): 0 burn --> 2 burn | 0 bleed --> 2 bleed | 0 poison --> 2 poison | 40 gold --> 50 gold | Text rephrased to: "When you apply a debuff, permanently gain +2 damage."
🟢Runic Shield (Epic): 10 heal --> 0 heal | 0 multicast --> +1 multicast //Dev comment: This makes Runic Shield perfect in a Warrior Shield build, or a Void Stinger build.
🟢Voidspike (Common): Text rephrased to: "When you apply a debuff, gain +2 bonus damage." | 30 gold --> 25 gold | 15 damage --> 18 damage.
🟢Cobalt Spear (Legendary): The word "Permanently" added to its text. | 30 damage --> 35 damage | 4.2s cooldown --> 4.1s cooldown. | Quality of Life: Cobalt Spear will now trigger AFTER your other items' start of combat effects, meaning Trident and Nightfall will apply their SoC effects before getting consumed.
🟢Warrior Shield (Legendary): 3s cooldown --> 2.8s cooldown | 80 shield --> 100 shield.
🟢Decay (Epic): 3s cooldown --> 2.4s cooldown.

🔴Lost Fragment (Legendary): 65 gold --> 60 gold | 5.8s cooldown --> 4s cooldown | Ability changed to: "On trigger: Give item above +1 bonus multicast and increase this item's cooldown by 4s."
🟢Hunters Tome (Rare): 3.4s cooldown --> 3.3s cooldown.

[h3]Moon items rework and more refined direction: Focus on Multicast.[/h3]
🟡Lunar Codex (Rare): Ability changed to: "When you level up, permanently gain +1 multicast." //Dev comment: My personal favourite change. Not only does this comply with the new moon archetype, but it is also an elegant buff to Arcane Secrets (Legendary).
🟡Moon Knife (Rare): 15% crit --> 0% crit | 0 multicast --> 1 multicast | 12 damage --> 10 damage. | 2.1s cooldown --> 2.5s cooldown.
🟡Lapis Lazuli (Epic): 0 multicast --> 1 multicast | Ability changed to: "On trigger: Permanently give your other moon items +2 damage." | 3.4s cooldown --> 5s cooldown. //Dev comment: A great support item that ties the moon build together. The new Lapis also provides a new source of getting damage on Astral Hammer in a mace build.
🟡Moonveil (Legendary): Ability changed to: "Start of Combat: Give your moon items +1 bonus multicast." | 6.7s cooldown --> 4.2s cooldown. | 1 multicast --> 2 multicast.
