HIGHLIGHTS:

- Added an autosave feature! It's on by default, and does its best to save the game at pivotal moments. It can be toggled with /autosave.
- Added the long-requested ability to disable FARA's pixel font with /font.
- Added a new class, the Wildheart! Unique Ability: Killer Instincts - Wildhearts heal nearby animal companions when attacking, and gain stamina whenever a nearby animal ally attacks. Killing blows made against animal allies will damage the Wildheart and send them into a rage for a short duration. Additionally, Wildhearts gain Truestrike when a hostile target is knocked prone.
- Added a new class, the Artificer! Unique Ability: Spellgrafting - Artificers can infuse items with spell tomes and scrolls, allowing those items to cast the infused spell when struck or used to attack.

CRAFTING & ITEM QUALITY:

- Added a few more starting recipes
- Every item now has at least three possible tiers: Normal, +Artisan+, and {Masterwork}. Each tier increases the durability of the item, provides a small damage bonus when wielded, a small block chance when worn, and increased elemental resist/proc chance.
- Artisan Tools and Masterwork Tools have been added, which are used to increase the quality of other items. They can be found in the wild, or crafted from Runic Dust (which can now be salvaged from runes, scrolls, and tomes).
- Recipes are now auto-learned when picking up items
- It is once again possible to craft items without knowing their recipe, but doing so cost twice as many materials, takes more time, and drains stamina.
- The chance for entities to have higher quality gear now scales with the number of Key Fragments the player has.
- Armor and Weapon Chests now have a chance to produce higher quality gear based on the Charisma of the chest opener.

COMBAT:

- Added attack speed, attack power, block chance, and elemental resistances to the /character window
- Added a balanced attack type. It has none of the pros or cons associated with the other attack types. It can be done with '/attack center','/balancedattack', or '/ba', and has replaced /kick as the [ shift + down arrow ] keyboard shortcut. /kick can still be performed with [ k ].
- Increased the speed of all direct attack types
- Increased the dodge chance and reduced the accuracy of evasive strikes
- Increased the attack speed of defensive strikes
- Decreased the speed of offensive strikes
- Entities fighting without an offhand item now deal more damage
- Entities fighting with two weapons can no longer be parried unless the other combatant is also fighting with two weapons
- Removed most of the variable damage from standard attacks. Everything (including the player) hits harder now.
- Weapon damage has been rebalanced, widening the damage gap between the fastest and slowest weapons.
- Weapons now lose durability when used to attack. The amount of wear and tear depends on the type of attack used.
- Rebalanced the amount of elemental resistance granted by elemental armor. Normal gear now provides less, Artisan provides the old standard amount, and Masterworks provide more.
- Entities with innate elemental properties now have a high resistance chance to damage of that element, and are highly vulnerable to another element. 
- Players can now tell their human allies to attack specific targets with '/say attack (name)'. Shouting will issue the command to everyone nearby.
- All party members with combative prowess will now attack your target as soon as you do instead of waiting for you to be struck.
- Attacking at range from stealth no longer triggers a delay for the attacker's next action.
- While outdoors, all ranged weaponry (not just firearms) now has a chance to interrupt their target's actions.

CLASS ADJUSTMENTS:

- Beekeeper - They now heal from eating honey
- Blacksmith and Tailor - Their abilities now allow them to craft unknown metal and textile items without any of the new penalties.
- Cat Whisperer - Cats will only show up when the whisperer is injured, and they start off Enraged. They are also now classified as allies instead of party members, meaning they won't follow the whisperer around, but also don't count against the new party limit. The cats can be still join your party via feeding just like most other animals.
- Gunslinger - They no longer spend ammunition when attacking from melee range. This does not affect their damage output. Also, their unique ability has been renamed from Gunfighter to Taegunsho because I think I'm clever.
- Illusionist - They now start with the Blink spell.
- Monk - They are now properly immune to burning instead of having to wait for the first tick of potential burning damage.
- Scoundrel - Their traps now have a 100% chance to stun their victims.
- Wrestler - They now get a damage bonus from all unarmed aerial attacks instead of offensive stance attacks, and their ability to immobilize targets with attacks has been removed.

- The damage and negative effect duration for most traps has been reduced.
- Made NPCs ever-so-slightly more conversational
