Feature
-
Headgears that have Mettle lv5 or higher will be granted an enchant that will let you exchange it.
- Developer's Note: If you have a Mettle lv5 headgear that is eligible, you will be able to choose another enchant, without cost, at the respective enchant NPCs for each headgear. The option to do so, "Change Mettle to another enchant", will only be present if you have an eligible hat.
- An eligible headgear will have the following line enchant: "You can reroll the Bear's Might or Mettle enchant for this item".
- This process can only be done once and will preserve the enchant level. Double check you are selecting the new enchant you want before confirming. If you'd rather keep Mettle, you can just ignore the message.
-
- Developer's Note: Pretty self-explanatory, this new option will remove all Costume Enchantment Stones from any equipped Costumes, at once.
