10 Year Veteran Today's update focuses on improving the wishing well, overhauling the blood money shop, and item responsiveness for players with less than ideal ping. Along with this includes a large number of game improvements and bug fixes.
Wishing Well
The wishing well has been updated to accept certain items as donations toward the boosts. The items accepted are limited to many of the rare unique drops monsters have. If you have too many of some rare items that just won't sell or aren't worth trying to sell, you can instead drop them into the well and save your physical coin stack.
To find how if the well will accept an item and what value the item will go toward the donation boost for, use the item on the well. You'll be prompted with a dialogue telling you the value and asking if you want to drop the item in.
Blood Money Shop
The blood money shop has received a number of changes. These include item removals, item additions, increases in prices of items that were way too cheap, and some items replaced with a lottery like item. The lottery boxes will provide a random item. For example, the random Corporeal Beast shield box will provide one of the following items: blessed spirit shield, elysian spirit shield, spectral spirit shield, or arcane spirit shield.
Random box sprites do not reflect what the box gives - the mask box is actually a Cerberus box, for example.
Increased Item Responsiveness
An entry on the quest tab has been added for changing your session/network updating speed between 600ms (default) and 300ms. An example of where this could be useful is if you have high ping: equipping items will visually update on interfaces faster with 300ms, allowing the special attack bar to appear sooner if you normally experience a long delay.
Using the 300ms option does NOT equip items faster or cause any other action to happen faster. This option simply sends queued data to your client sooner, that otherwise would be pending until 600ms to be sent with data you can't receive faster.
Specifically, your physical player will not show the item you equipped faster by choosing 300ms, only interfaces will. This means equipping an item and it disappearing out of your inventory will not be in sync with it appearing on your player.
