What's New in Portals of Phereon Version - 0.12.0.1?

Summary:

• More interesting portals
• Spirits integrated more. (more enemy variance etc.)
• Farm/fusion work more together.

Portals/Overworld:

• Tooltips for portals for modifier descriptions etc.
• Portals now have a native trait that each character in there has, including some unique ones
• New basic modifiers
• weather effects per portal that can change each day (affecting spirit spawns etc.)
• combat modifiers, affecting all battles in a portal
• new world types with more restricted movement (caves etc.)
• special consumables + unlockable farmpotions for special world types

Characters/Creatures:

• 2 new elements (total 10 new species) some previously existing creatures moved into the evolution lines
• Light: combo based magic/support species
• Shadow: terrain based team species, introducing shadow tiles in combat
• 11 new unique characters (mostly missing unique combat sprites, but many aren’t really battle characters)

Shadow species rework:

• they work together with shadow spirits and share similar skills
• generally more hp/ less reliance on shadowform. bonuses in shadow/malus outside
• shadowform increases speed more and only costs upkeep outside of shadow. no longer increases armor
• requirements of being in shadowform often replaced with being on a shadow tile

Farm:

• simplified a lot of stuff
• removed focus, now always similar to previous default settings but better
• control shifted more towards using farmpotions
• you don’t assign characters to farm ( characters at home show in farm, can assign any two to place in farm)
• removing pairings puts characters back home
• pairings are shown more clearly and separately with quick infos
• separate sortable lists for left/right character. (rightclick can now close as other windows)
• can use instantbreed without pairing (can still pair afterwards and keep progress)
• can toggle between creature/humanoid (can breed same species creatures)
• some new farm items unlocked through explorations/events.
• descriptions now adapted to alchemists bonus.
• fertility/virility potions increase by a flat amount of 30 instead of +50%
• eggs/day capped at 3 per pair. removed doubled crystal gain for farmer. eggs spoil quicker

Quickruns:

• some new world modifiers exclusively for it. Most runs now have a world modifier
• rival power starts higher than other runs (not just stage 1 spirits in final battle etc.)
• more modifiers/starting traits
• always start with an S-rank tavernquest available
• generally higher chances for more interesting/rare things

Other:

• new events
• evo art update + outfits
• unranked arena battles can have combat modifiers
• Rivals can have any element, not just the basic 3
• Corruption now sets the maxlevel to the characters current level. those species are stronger now (might be weird with summoning/fusing)
• Castalia sells potions once you unlocked the reward thresholds
• new genetic traits (mostly start/end of combat effect)
• new mostly neutral difficulty modifiers
• Can now buy potions from castalia once unlocked
• genes have less impact on stats (10 = doubled stats, prev *2.5 – *3)
• slime type characters are stronger, but corrupt sets their maxlevel to current level

Noteworthy bugfixes:

• tavern characters didn’t correctly scale with rank (always had same low total genes)
• party strength (for mining/woodcutting etc.) was based on magic instead of strength
• story mission portals had normal enemy spawn rate (could often just walk through without fights)
• sleeping multiple times the same day resulted in same events
• crafting draining bow required wrong resource
