[3.1.3] - 2022-10-24

Updates
- The Craft to Exile official server's "Pumpkin Harvest" event has begun! This event will last 2 weeks, from Oct. 24th (now) until Nov. 7th! Find Golden Pumpkin Seeds from vanilla undead mobs and witches, smashing pumpkins, and by giving Simple Farming Candy to the Market's' Weathered Salesperson. Redeem these Golden Pumpkin Seeds at the Farming for Blockhead's Market for limited time special consumables and items!
- From the Farming for Blockhead's Market under the "Other" tab, choose from: Gilded Pumpkin Juice (grants 25% EXP bonus for 1 hour), RC, Lycanites Mobs fire blocks, Guardian's Charm (unique that causes you to stop counting towards party count in respect to EXP share, and prevents you from sharing EXP when killing mobs), Ring of the Undying (unique that prevents EXP gain), and a special tool capable of veinmining and tree-felling!
- If you're on the official server, check out the community made haunted house by Raiden and Theesle, accessible starting this weekend (end of Oct.) by appointment (DM Raiden (Onion#0733) or ask him in game to run it for you)! Complete the haunted house for some neat rewards, including Golden Pumpkin Seeds!
- Hidden Strength Amulet no longer provides lifesteal.

Mine and Slash Updates
- Mob damage calculations have been completely overhauled... If you want to see the technical details see the next point. Turns out it didn't work the way I thought it did and all my previous increases and decreases to mob damage were not really doing anything! Basically, I've reduced variability of damage between mobs but increased the floor. We'll take vindicators and zombies as an example. We all know vindicators do tremendous damage when compared to zombies. While they still do more damage, the difference between the zombie and vindicator have been lessened (zombies now deal more damage but vindicators slightly less). This should also resolve the issue where "trash" mobs were doing nothing and sometimes you would encounter an extremely spiky mob. This also means players should invest more towards defenses now. This will also hopefully make mob damage more predictable and players will hopefully tackle content they can survive and not tackle higher content and then randomly get 1-2 shot by vindicators, vexes, etc. (since zombies and skeles do little damage).
- To understand how damage works, you should first know that every entity has a physical attack damage stat. For instance, currently, mobs have a physical attack damage stat of 10, which gets scaled by their level and then multiplied by the rarity and tier damage multiplier. However, unbeknownst to me, the actual formula for mob damage did not even take this base stat into account. It just takes their vanilla damage value (which we all knew it did) and scales it to their level. As a result, zombies had a functional physical attack damage stat of 3 while vindicators had a damage stat of 13, scaled to their level. The change I've made isn't a percentage increase, since that would just widen the gap between vindicators and zombies. Instead, I have reduced the ceiling and increased the floor of mob damage. The new formula is now [Vanilla DMG * 0.33 + 8 scaled to level], instead of just [Vanilla DMG scaled to level].
- Team Dungeon mob bonus increased damage has been halved (from 160-240% to now 80-120% increased damage). Now that damage is more predictable and in general, higher, I am able to reduce the Team Dungeon mob damage bonus. I was using zombie damage as a base line before which was a mistake on my part.
- Team Dungeon damage reduction bonus has been removed and instead the health multiplier has doubled but is now slightly variable. This should result in slightly less tanky mobs in Team Dungeons.
- Reduced variability in stats a bit. Generally, ceiling has been lowered and floor increased.

Mod Updates
- Updated Mine and Slash, Craft to Exile Custom Uniques.

Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Sweeping Strike was taunting enemies.
