  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33854164/628415ec1d8a047962c2dc84bc933f1f2e752fdb.png Mystical Focus! You can now change and reroll your gear After researching Basic Combat you now unlock the crafting recipe for Mystical Focus, a object that lets you change your equipment At the Mystical Focus you can: Upgrade a Rare to an Epic item Upgrade an Epic to Mythic item Randomize the Spell on an item Randomize the Mythic Effect on an item Randomize which Stats appear on an item Randomize power of the Stats on an item Place your equipment and some magic essence in the Mystical Focus' inventory and choose one of the options Along with this we've added magical essences to the game You get magical essences by salvaging your gear The inventory's 'destroy item' changes to 'salvage item' when holding equipment.

Common Salvage for instance is required to reroll an items power {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33854164/487d807cadd8d8a49e632406312f7c7d839b0dda.jpg Spells Rework We've reworked the spell system to make it more dynamic, and to allow more spells Elemental Power system has been deprecated and no longer rolls on gear Now rare and higher gear comes with a Spell affix This gives you the spell shown on the gear when you equip it Each spell has a specific slot on your combat bar: 1,2,3,4, left click, right click You can only have one spell for each slot.
