Items
* Spheres of Power: This set now provides a 25% damage bonus when in Combo at 3, 5, 7, and 9 pieces.
* Cloak of Many Pockets: Increased gold gain from 25% to 50%.
* Markham's Stone: Increased ore gain from 1% to 2% per item in the player’s inventory.
Drinks
* A Fool's Errand: This drink’s negative effect is now “Health Regen set to 0.”
* Frenetic Eruption: This drink now has a 5% chance of triggering Combo when scoring Crits. The negative effect is now “+20% damage taken while out of Combo.”
* Last Stand: This drink now provides +30% bonus damage & +30% damage reduction while standing still; but +10% damage taken while moving.
* Hammer Time: This drink’s negative effect is now: “Lose 5% of your current health while standing still.”
* Unbalanced Essence: This drink’s negative effect is now: “Lose 10% of your current mana when casting a skill.”
* Spilled Blood: This drink’s base Health reduction has been reduced from 25% to 20%.
* Stab in the Dark: This drink’s Darkness duration has been reduced from 2.5s to 1.5s.
* When looking at Crimson Death, it became clear that this drink was versatile to the point of feeling mandatory in any progression-oriented build. Moving forward, we’ve chosen to split the drink’s function into two separate drinks, so that they can serve the various builds that rely on Lifesteal without making the other half feel mandatory. While this is not a catch-all fix, it will give casters and primary attackers different identities and choices when considering Lifesteal drinks. If one feels they want to invest in the other, they can still do so; but that potent combination will now take two of the five drink slots.
* Crimson Death: This drink now only provides 5% lifesteal on Primary Attack damage.
* Evil Infusion: This drink provides 5% Skill lifesteal. The player loses 10% of their current Health when casting a Skill.
Visual, Audio, and UI Changes
* The character screen now has an “Effects” tab, covering everything that is affecting your player that isn’t an item, including Fountain Effects, Drink Effects, and Monolith Buffs.

* It is now possible to host lobbies without a maximum player level restriction.
