Thank you for the Siphon Pickaxe rebalance. It's a lot more interesting now, especially in hard mode =)
And yes, I can confirm that Fern's overhealing is why I wasn't getting the expected number.
A couple more things - On the lorestone, mousing over the relics turns the cursor into the pointer cursor (like clicking a link) but clicking them has no effect. On the other hand, mousing over the turtles chagner the cursor but also allows switching to the turtle, so the cursor makes sense. The equipment tab has the default cursor across the board (which is correct as clicking does nothing).
Request: Could you change the cursor behavior on the equipment tab in the lorestone to be a pointer instead of default cursor, and allow equipping stuff directly from the lorestone interface (without closing it)? Thank you for adding the tooltips by the way!
Request 2: Nix rebalance on hard mode? I'm almost done beating vegan mode, but I cannot for the life of me beat the game with Nix (reach deepwater). I tried several different strats, including using sigils and 30 mageflare runes (once per 7 digs) per run for optimal traversal, but it seems like with the hard mode debuffs, Nix can't survive in the void long enough to make it to the core.
