► Vesuvius

[edit | edit source]

Vesuvius is a new NPC that stores your Kuudra Chests. He can be found at the Forgotten Skull in the Crimson Isle.

You can now also access Kuudra from the Dungeon Hub. Croesus deals with all chests while in the Dungeon Hub. You can access your Kuudra chests at Croesus. Don't look for Vesuvius in the Dungeon Hub, he's not there.

The chest claiming GUI (of Croesus and Vesuvius) has been modernized with better visual cues and bug fixes. Let us know if you notice any issues or have any suggested improvements.

The Wheel of Fate has been fixed to work as described. If the reward chest has an Attribute Shard, you can use a Wheel of Fate to reroll it into one of a higher rarity.

In other news, the Dungeon Hub has been slightly updated, with some NPCs having moved locations. That is all.
