🏆 RELICS & GEAR
As mentioned, we've added our first two relics in this patch. This comes along with relic gear, which can be obtained by combining platinum gear with relics using Boulder at Fracture Forge. Here are some extra details that you should know! ∎ Combining tools and relics cost rubies, but it varies depending on the relic! ∎ Wearing all pieces of armor for one relic type will give you a set bonus.

👾 WRAITH RIBS (SHADOW GEAR)
∎ Shadow tools allow for silent mining. Your enemies wont hear you coming!
∎ Each shadow armor piece reduces mob tracking distance by 3 blocks.
∎ The set bonus gives you a chance to enter shadow mode when damaged.
∎ Shadow mode lasts 4 seconds, allowing you to escape from the enemy. However, the moment you attack, you'll be forced out of the mode. Attacks done in shadow mode also have a damage multiplier of x1.5!

🍄 TOXIC SPORES (TOXIC GEAR)
∎ Toxic gear has a chance of leaving behind poison clouds when mining or doing any action. These clouds won't hurt you, but they'll hurt others!
∎ Each piece of armor gives you a 10% chance of releasing a poison cloud of knockback, give you time to form a battle plan!
∎ The set bonus gives you immunity to poison.
∎ This set requires strategy for choosing which mobs to fight, as undead mobs are immune to poison. So be careful before you charge into battle!

0.2.4 Changes

∎ Crocodiles now move quicker.
∎ Dragonflies now spawn more frequently.
∎ Custom blocks can now be placed in water.

∎ All paintings now have a fresh look with updated designs.
∎ Multiple performance improvements and internal bug fixes.
∎ Construction has begun at the Community Center...

Thoughts

The new relic sets are awesome! They offer a new experience to be had with their abilities! I think they are awesome but maybe a little too expensive to put on your armor pieces as it cost 2000 rubies to combine on relic with a piece of gear. This is can be a little disappointing after spending a long time to get these are drops. Combining relics should either be free or cheaper since you will be doing this more than once. It just feels like a barrier after hard work.

The patches in 0.2.4 are also very awesome. Now that new player will be told they have a compass item to see where to go will help many to come. Crocodiles moving faster is a welcome change as they did feel too slow to be a challenge. They say dragonflies are spawning more frequently but I am yet to see. But if I'm just too slow before the frogs get them, this will make the swamps feel even more alive with the dragonflies' ambiance. Custom block underwater has been wanted since alpha and I think we are all very happy about this! The new paintings look amazing but the even more amazing Tutta! And finally, what's the mayor's plan with this new construction? Time will tell!
