Feature Creep?

There's some interesting background stuff being worked on! It's not necessarily delaying any of the mentioned work from last week (quests/achievements/talents/affixes) but it's definitely going to need some playtesting. On the topic of playtesting, soon^tm?

Balance Changes

• Infernal Strength missing health damage bonus has been shifted; it now begins at below 50% hp and gives 2% more damage per missing hp, i.e. at 25% hp you deal 50% more damage, at 10% hp you deal 80% more damage, etc.

• Alchemy changes:

Cheaper buff stacks so that the majority of buffs are viable to make

Quality slider replaced with a potion tier selection slider

Craft multiple potions instead of increasing quality to reduce inventory clutter

Reduced to one line of potions

Reduce buff ingredient drops

• Cooking

Increased the number of prepared ingredients used

Lower tier food (with less ingredient types) have more quality per slider thus more buff stacks

Slowed down by half, doubled experience to maintain experience rate

• Preparation

Faster blitzing

No more chance, replaced by level restrictions

Discontinue ladle and greater ladle

• NGIM Gathering Crates from Dungeon completions; every dungeon now has a chance to drop up to its tier in gathering crates: Small (up to level 20ish materials), Normal (up to level 40ish materials), and Large (40+ materials). These are the unrefined basic gathering materials and they drop in relatively low quantities

Misc
