Can we have Alchemy equipment (Bluebeo, Metallic Magic Gauntlet, etc) require ore/cloth to make, so they can be created with materials?

Another possible idea would be to have them be a material of one of the components.

And a third idea would be some kind of crafting addition that let you add materials to items without them (or even change the material of items, period).

After several decades of Dark Zone research, hopefully it would have been worth the weight.

Bug Information:

Under certain circumstances, you or your party gets transported into a "Battle" Z Level. Any battle instances that are created in that Z level will still be created and you and your party can walk around it freely. Mobs will react to you and can damage you, and you also count as dense objects. When there isn't a battle going on in the Z level, the Dark Zone can be seen, since there is no map in said Z level.

How to Reproduce:

It has not been tested twice, but from what I seen, someone joined our battle as we finished it, when they triggered a battle themselves from the map. Thus teleporting us in a weird way to the battle, and probably glitching out the newly made battle as well. To do it again, good timing is needed as well as luck from a passing mob.

So, now that footstep sounds are a thing outside of combat, seeing as we have at least one item that causes you to make noise when you move...

Could we have the option to change what footstep sound we make? Even though right now it's just 'heavy' or 'normal'. It'd be nice to be able to alternate between them freely without needing to swap your torso on/off constantly.

Or even just let items like Dokuneko Bells override the sound with its own out of combat.

This dungeon feature got in the way of our advance. We can't pass to the right of it (despite how it looks, there's no space. The tiles are dense), and the only way around this would be stepping on a teleport trap and hoping for the best, which in this case wasn't there. Please fix.

1. This is fairly severe. The Archer skill Cripple Leg applies Rank 15, instead of rank 5. The skill removes 3x LVL Cel and Move, meaning it takes away 45 Celerity and 15 movement. Simply adjust Level inflicted to 5.

2. Cripple Arm does not remove the usage of the sub weapon. Sub-attack, for example, still functions normally.

3. The slows from Cripple Leg and Celsius cannot be removed by the Martial Artist skill Cleanse Body, which removes slows at rank 1.

Dagger Dance doesn't apply to Cobalt Qrytys.

We now have a 10* that gives you the Phantom Cloak status, but that status still can't be taken using Steal. Might Wall can't be taken, either. Can some of the stealable effects be revisited? It would also be helpful if Steal refreshed the duration on stolen effects, because using 3M to steal a 1-2 turn effect is sad.

You can walk through enemies, but it may only be possible after a round has passed or something. Works with both clicking, and WASD/Arrow Keys.

Surprise! First update in a while that didn't take 2 weeks, eh? This week, we are continuing the additions to the base class skills, and it's Archer's turn.

Archer was a little more average than Rogue in terms of skill count, with a previous total of 11. Most of the other base classes have around that amount. So, bringing them up to 19 this update, the Archer class got 8 new skills, including 2 main class only ones (all base classes will have 2 main class only skills when all is said and done). One of the main things I'm trying to do with these new skills is expand both the variety of the class, as well as giving it good opportunities to synergize with other base classes well. When you read the skill descriptions of these new skills, you'll probably get a better idea of what I mean by that.

Archers didn't just get new skills, though. A lot of skills have been buffed or adjusted, given new effects, and/or received animation effects. There are also some balance changes, including an adjustment to the new knockdown evade penalty and Demon Hunter's Snake Dancer. Enjoy!

Mutating a gun into a tome makes it not gain any benefits from tactician's Dualpower (Likewise for guns mutated into swords I'd assume, haven't tested that out)
