2. ^ Getting new weapons in the combat rework? Not yet confirmed. We've mentioned it as a possibility.
3. ^ For the combat reset, if it happens, just constitution/attack/strength/defense would be reset to 0 but all current exp you have would be dumped into mastery.
4. ^ weakening wont be in the rework
5. ^ Well you can easily just go do solo bosses.
6. ^ On satchels, they will be adjusted in the combat rework.
7. ^ Enchantments for sure will be undone, but I'm planning to have a script refund materials.
8. ^ Plus with multiplayer combat 100% being part of the combat rework, that opens the way for things like being able to decide if youre in the front line or the back for a boss fight.
9. ^ Hell no. Why would I do something that stupid.
10. ^ I dunno. I haven't done any drops yet. Everything just drops satchels so far minus chicken which kept its drop table.
