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.
🟡Elvish Orb (Epic): Gained the Elven tag. Text adjusted to: "On trigger: Give elven item above +1 multicast permanently (Except Elvish Orb)."
🔴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.
🟢Venom Ring (Legendary): 5.5s cooldown --> 5s cooldown.
🟢Life Essence (Epic): 4.1s cooldown --> 3.9s cooldown.
🟢Shardfang (Legendary): 1.4s cooldown --> 1.2s cooldown | 15 damage --> 25 damage | 55 gold --> 45 gold.
🟢Redemption (Legendary): 4.2s cooldown --> 4s cooldown | 10 damage --> 25 damage | 55 gold --> 50 gold | 100 heal --> 120 heal.
🟢Doom Guide (Legendary): 1500 damage --> 2000 damage.
🟢Woodchopping (Epic): "On trigger: Give all axes +5 damage permanently." --> "On trigger: Give all axes +7 damage permanently."

[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.
🟢Crescentshot (Rare): 3.7s cooldown --> 3.5 cooldown.

• Frozen Orb no longer activates frosty items outside of the tower.
  
• Glacier and a few other items no longer get buffs from outside combat.
  
• The ability text of items was not always in the intended spot on the infobox.
  
• Sometimes, all items would not be uploaded to the database from your build. This bug has been fixed.
  
• Chests gained from events now correctly spawn all the way to the right.
  

[h3]Other:[/h3]

• Directional arrows of items now show in the end screen as well.
  
• The victory/defeat text after battle will now stay behind item infoboxes.
  

Remember that the PvP environment might still contain old / unnerfed builds for an hour or two.
