Oh no! You missed your Waifu's birthday!


Belated Birthday Update

New Items

  • Added 46 new items, ranging from Common to Legendary.

Shards

  • Added Shards, a new use for unwanted Legendary items.
  • Marketable Legendary items can now be broken down into Shards of any rarity you choose.
  • Breaking down a Legendary item will give you roughly 20-30% of the Shards needed to create an item of that rarity.
  • Right-click a Legendary item to bring up the breakdown menu and select which type of Shards you want.
  • A confirmation popup will appear before the item is broken down, since this action cannot be undone.
  • Items must be both Legendary and marketable to be broken down.
  • Only one item can be broken down at a time.
  • Shard icons provide a quick indication of how many you have. Hover over the button to see the exact amount.

Waifu Changes

  • Changed the Random Waifu Name button from an "R" to an image.
  • Added a Waifu Outfit Randomizer to the Settings menu.
  • Changed how the Waifu idle animation is implemented to remove the line that sometimes appeared between the Waifu and the menu bar.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

  • Auto Upgrade
    • Holding the Auto button will now automatically begin upgrading items.
    • Auto Upgrade will use all available Shards first, then use any duplicate items you have.

  • Improved Sorting

    • New items will now appear at the top of their rarity group, so you no longer have to scroll through your collection just to clear the "New" tags.

  • Expanded Search

    • Search now supports item rarity, New items, and tags.
    • Rarity and "New" searches must match the whole word.
    • Tags are currently available for only a selection of items, but support for more tags is planned.

Item Changes

  • Added a new shader effect option for items.
    • Currently used by the Valentine Glasses and Saint Paddy's Glasses.
    • Added a new setting under General - "Disable Constant Screen Effects" for players who want to disable these effects.

  • Changed how the "Rabbits?" item works.

    • Rabbits are no longer based on your total points.
    • They are now based on the points you gain after equipping the item.
    • This gives you a chance to see all of the rabbits as you gain points.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed various bugs and made some additional improvements.
