Today’s patch most notably marks the beginning of Ramiro’s internship at Eucreta’s laboratory. His expertise at socket piece crafting will come in handy for sure! This update makes socket pieces much easier to obtain and finally properly implements this layer of customization to the equipment system.
That’s not all however, as the game receives a platitude of changes including a new window skin! Polish, polish, polish! That’s what we’re talking about!
