Savaru's Affixology — v0.8.0 Patch Notes

⚔️ Equipment Enhancement System

A brand-new enhancement mechanic that pushes gear beyond its base limits.

• Enhancement Stone — 5% drop chance from Boss-tier mobs, 10% chance to drop double
• Place an identified piece of gear + Enhancement Stone in an Anvil to enhance
• +1 is always guaranteed. Each subsequent tier reduces success rate by 20%, flooring at 10%
• On failure → all affix effects reduced by 40%, item marked as [Failed]
• Failed items can be restored using a Smithing Template — at the cost of one random affix
• Supreme Enhancement Stone — crafted with 8 Enhancement Stones + 1 Amethyst Shard; always 100% success

🏪 Villager & Wandering Trader Trades

Merchants now sell proper quality gear.

• All merchant equipment trades now scale with villager level
  • L1 Common → L3 Rare → L5 Epic and above
• All merchants also sell Identification Tickets (purchased with diamonds)
• Wandering Traders exclusively sell Epic–Unrivaled tier equipment
• All traded gear is unidentified — you won't know the affixes until you identify it
