### Fast-Scrapping and Fast-Repairing
Hold CTRL when clicking or dragging over an item in your inventory to send it DIRECTLY to the Crafting grid without needing to drag it over! Then, hold CTRL when creating a Crafting result to also place it directly back into the crafting grid! With these abilities, you can VERY quickly scrap AND repair items!! Way less cumbersome than before!
## Changes
### Advancement/Spawning
Reputation tiers are now divided across 10 advancements instead of 5, spanning 100 kills from 50. This means stronger mobs will roll out slower, affording less skilled players more time to accrue strength before the mid-late game starts rolling them. 

For those that find this too easy, they can turn the difficulty up when entering a new world by unlocking some of the reptuation rankings early.
### Inventory
- Items that normally stacked to 64 previously now stack to 999
- Important items, when dropped, now have coloured outlines to signify their value and help make identifying them easier!

- Redesigned the Spear from Clash into the Royal Glave
