0.0.1 - May 2026 - Alpha Build

A broad balance and usability pass focused on making builds clearer, crafting matter more, and early progression easier to understand.

This update tightens the core loop around expeditions, rune builds, crafting, and disciplines.
The main goal is to make power growth easier to read without flattening build identity.
Rune Etching now states its Expedition source and build role more clearly.

Reduced extreme expedition modifier stacking so deep runs no longer spike player or enemy power as aggressively.
Reworked several damage-increasing expedition modifiers into smaller, more roguelite-style bonuses.
Retuned enemy health, damage, traits, boss depths, and rare enemy pressure around the newer build data.
Adjusted weaker rune builds upward while keeping the strongest outliers under control.
Starter gear was toned down so it helps new characters without replacing early upgrades.

Attack runes now unlock over early character levels instead of all appearing at once.
Support runes no longer use item rarity, making them cleaner build tools rather than loot-tier items.
Rune manager cards now show locked rune requirements more clearly.
Support rune tooltips were added so their purpose is easier to understand before equipping.
Several attack rune mechanics were adjusted so direct hit, shock, bleed, poison, thorns, sustain, and delayed damage builds have clearer roles.

Crafting now uses clearer prefix and suffix limits instead of one general affix count.
The Crafting Bench UI was cleaned up with smaller action buttons, better tooltips, and clearer material requirements.
Forge discipline rewards now feed the Crafting Bench more directly through discipline materials.
Herblore received better action pacing and a new later-game buff potion.
Rune Etching now uses scarce Abyssal Depths Expedition inputs, then refines them into endgame build choices.

Logbooks now unlock at level 10 so new players are not overloaded immediately.
Added more Logbook nodes that interact with the newer crafting and discipline reward loops.
Some Logbook choices can now improve discipline material drops, support rune weighting, guarded caches, or rest safety.
Logbook node labels and tooltips were cleaned up for better readability.

Rest is now limited to two uses per expedition, making checkpoint decisions more meaningful.
Potion auto-use is off by default for new characters and can be enabled manually.
Fresh expeditions and fresh combat now repair stale wounded health so players do not restart runs at the wrong health value.
Floating combat text was enlarged and separated by damage type so major rune procs are easier to see.
Combat log entries were cleaned up with clearer categories and less repeated noise.

New characters now start with basic equipped gear and six Healing Tonics.
The First Steps modal was updated and the Help page now opens the same onboarding information.
Character creation, guest play, and protected routes were tightened so direct URLs no longer bypass the intended flow.
Login and register calls to action were cleaned up so returning players land on Login first.

Battle cache wording, checkpoint actions, rune cards, discipline buttons, and profile panels received readability passes.
Removed unused Runic Essence display text and other stale UI references.
Several hover, active-border, spacing, and text overflow issues were cleaned up across the game.
Offline discipline progress now reports what completed while the player was away.

Cloud and local save handling was strengthened so account saves and guest saves stay separated.
New character creation now initializes gear, potions, runes, health, and expedition state more consistently.
Combat effect carry-over was fixed so effects like Gravebind no longer fire at the start of a new expedition.
