This probably won't concern most players, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up about an upcoming change. With the release of the Ironclaw Munitions Factory, Brinks' catalog (the token trader) will undergo some changes. Most crafting materials will be removed from boss token catalogs, such as flame souls for Almirian Seals.

There will be some exceptions, such as rock salt which cannot be acquired elsewhere. The goal is to focus boss token rewards on equips and not materials and altogether clean up the growing catalogs.

Greetings Knight!

The following changes were made to the game in the release on June 24th:

Steam Account Conversion
* We have added the ability to convert accounts created on the web site to Steam accounts.
* Be aware you do not have to do this, this is only for those who wish to do so.
* This will allow you to log on automatically using the Steam client as well as to take advantage Steam features such as achievements, voice chat, and invites.

Some changes were made to various monsters to make them a bit easier to manage. The monsters of the Clockworks would like for it to go on the record that they had no say in the matter.

Red Rovers and Gremlin Scorchers

- 'Flamethrower' style attacks burn for half as long and move about 20% slower

Oilers

- Oil burn time reduced 66%
- Movement speed reduced
- 'Oil dash' attack removed
- Oil deposit count on death reduced
- Oil deposit count on movement reduced

Quicksilvers

- Reduced shock time
- Reduced movement speed during shock time

A bugfix release will go out today that includes the following:

Objectives

- Added in a failsafe for stuck or bypassed Rescue Camp objectives. Head out the front gates of Haven just South of the town square fountain to trigger the next objective if you are in haven and your current objective is 'Cross the Chasm to Haven' or 'Explore the Rescue Camp.'

Levels

- Concrete Jungle levels will no longer appear at Tier 1.
- Added new Scarlet Fortress level: Grim Gallery.
- Bramble thinned out in Concrete Jungle Totem Trouble 2.
