Patch Notes - v1.3.0

This update features new gear, spells, encounters, and quests, along with major quality-of-life improvements, expanded Kind Mode functionality, and a range of balance changes and bug fixes across the world of Mythscroll.

 Quality of Life Improvements

• Keyboard Shortcuts Menu: Added a new section in Settings that lists all available keyboard shortcut options.

• Toggle Kind Mode Anytime: Players can now turn Kind Mode on or off at any point via the smiley face icon next to their character's name in the top-left corner. Note: This option is unavailable if the character has Permadeath Mode enabled, as the two modes are incompatible.

• Creature Morality Indicators: Creatures now display a color-coded morality alignment during initial encounters: 

  • Green: Good

  • Pale Green: Mildly Good

  • Gray: Neutral

  • Pale Red: Mildly Evil

  • Red: Evil

• Speed Status Indicator: Your character's speed stat now shows if you’re currently affected by a temporary slow or speed boost by saying (Slowed) or (Boosted) by your current speed.

Kind Mode Upgrades

• XP Boost: +30% XP gain while Kind Mode is active.

• Increased Legendary Encounters: Encounter chance for legendary creatures raised from 3% to 5%.

• Passive Regen: Recover 2% HP and Mana per turn while traveling or waiting.

Combat & Encounters

• Area Level Adjustments:

• Merchant Port: Level range reduced from 1-15 to 1-10

• Rocky Path: Level range reduced from 1-15 to 1-10
