Sinks/fountains now drop identified potions when bottling them
Workbenches/Cauldrons are now highlighted on the minimap in light blue circles when the tiles are discovered on the map
Generated Spellbooks now alternate between Magic skills when generating in Shops/Chests/Floor to assist variety
E.g 3 spellbooks on the floor in 1 level, or in 1 Chest, or in 1 Shop will be Sorcery, then Mysticism, then Thaumaturgy starting randomly
Shops/Chests/Floor generate independently of each other, so still may spawn the same school as their first item
Previous floors are not taken into account for next level's generation
Lowered frequency of Readable Books spawned in floor generation, 50% re-rolling to a different item category if picked
Deserters & Disciples:
Bard Instruments: Lowered scaling of stat bonuses, Bard's starting bonuses unchanged
Bard Instruments: Now consume % Max MP per play cycle (If previously was 3 MP per cycle now is 3% Max MP etc). Minimum cost 1 MP / cycle, lowered MP costs than previous in early game
Fix Instrument "Next Stat Bonus" on tooltip being off by 1 CHR
Bard's Rapier Critical Damage bonus reduced from +50% to +25%
Fix description for Gnome not mentioning extra gold found in breakables
Gremlin can now gain Vandal points when armor breaks by effects of Destroy Armor and cursed Repair scrolls
Gremlin increased Vandal points gained on Boss stages
Sapper's Frypan now can quick access Cook menu by defending and pressing Use (Not Attack like the tinkering kit, in case it interferes with using as a shield)
Updated tooltip details to mention this
Fix Gremlin description resistances not listing all resists
Gremlin Vandal tooltip updated to mention all melee damage increases, not just breakables
Fix Deface spell targets leaving unpathable tiles when destroyed
Fix Deface spell on Cauldron leaving behind light field
Salamander's Breathe Fire tooltip added notes on how MP cost changes (+1 MP per 50 Max MP, 2x cost when below 40% Max MP)
Fix Salamander's Breathe Fire debuff not awarding additional MP on kill correctly for players 3/4
Fix Salamander Stone effect not mentioning immune to all damage, not just melee
Fix tooltip for Salamander to mention 35% effective hunger rate, not 25%

Max Leadership Deserters & Disciples races can recruit Insectoid/Goatman/Goblins correctly
Spells/Items:
Abundance spell now costs MP per proc, fixed level ups not occurring
Divine Zeal spell lowered PWR scaling
Envenom Weapon spell fix poison duration being longer than intended and slowing levelling progress
Overcharge spell can now provide skill level ups when casting reduced MP cost spells
Booby Trap spell fix not dealing 2x damage to mimics when slippery
Blood Waves spell fix tooltip displayed damage calculation, reduce INT multiplier from 4 to 3
Donation spell no longer targets breakables over pits as the items fall and despawn
Increased Fire Sprite spell attack speed from 3x normal enemy delay to 2x
Sleep from Magic Traps no longer reapplies to players until the existing Sleep effect ends
Earth Sprites can now path through Germinate Shrubs instead of attempting to break it
Fix spell tooltips not updating when MP cost changes
Off-hand Instruments/Mage Foci/Dark Icons/Holy Symbols no longer provide AC effectiveness as though you are blocking with a shield when playing/casting
Fix Magic Foci/Holy Symbol/Dark Icons not displaying their +PWR % to spell schools, incorrectly displaying skill bonus
Infected Branch Bow Spores now count as being cast by magicstaff vs normal spellcasting for levelling Mysticism
Enemies:
Shadow enemy "Mimic Other" effect now increases the Shadow's STR and DEX if the target's modified stats are higher. 20% of the stat difference is added to the Shadow each mimic attempt.
NPCs with Rapiers no longer receive DEX penalty on light attacks
Monsters that spawned with a leader that died can now be recruited (E.g rats following Algernon, goatman pairs)
Controls:
'Hotbar Quickcast' is now an option under Controls, separate per player and keyboard/gamepad
Attempts to cast a spell without needing to Ready the spell first
Holding ALT while selecting a spell when enabled will instead Ready the spell to be cast using the default F/LB binding
ALT modifier on keyboard can be rebound, see "Alternate Item Use Modifier" in the bindings list
Added a Controls option for "Mouse Events Limit" to limit the amount of mouse motion registered per game frame to avoid large camera swings
Default value is Unlimited
When set, if there is a abnormal stutter in-game it will process only up to the defined number of events and reduce disorientation caused by many queued motion events
At 60 FPS, typical 1000Hz mice will return 16-17 motion events (Set to around 18), 144 FPS 6-7 motion events (Set to the minimum of 10). Formula is approx 1000 / FPS.
Use command /debug_mouse_motion true and set the Controls setting to below Unlimited to check in-game the number of mouse movements captured, particularly for higher Hz mice as that will multiply the amount of events received compared to standard 1000Hz
Bugfixes/Other:
Improved Server performance with Client inventories, clients using items no longer create lingering vacant items on the server slowing iteration/save/load speed
Previously a change to backstabs meant that moving monsters with a target were ineligible, now a moving target is eligible for backstab events, but only receives flanking DMG bonuses

Prepping for Quality
As we get closer to our August 1st release date of the Quality of Death Update, we continue to work toward making sure this is the best release we can manage. This update represents our latest efforts to fix bugs and improve some aspects of gameplay and UX.
Newcomers
As Barony is currently participating in the Steam Summer Sale, welcome to all new adventurers! In case you haven't heard, we are about to ship a massive update to the game that is multiple years in the making, and the build is available for all owners of Barony to play.
If you're interested in participating in the Quality of Death Beta build, please observe the following instructions:
- Go to the game's Properties in Steam
- Select the Betas Tab
- In the Betas Tab, select the "Quality of Death" build from the dropdown menu
Steam will then update the game to the latest 4.0.1 version of the Quality of Death Beta, and you're all good to play with the latest fixes, features, and Split-Screen along with the rest of the community.
Without further ado:
V4.0.1 Patch notes
Settings
- Added new Crosshairs option to General Settings: 12 options + Opacity adjustment
- Rearranged some settings, moved Accessibility / Effects from Video to General tab
- Added Enemy Health Bar scaling option to reduce size, if preferred
- Message filter settings will now save when modified and confirmed
- Lobby filters are now saved between successive game launches in the config.json file
Character Creation
- Added starting HP/MP values to the character class selection menu information panel
In-Game UX
- Hotbar slots are now rebindable on keyboard (1, 2, 3, etc); Glyphs are shown on the hotbar when rebound to a non-number key
- Added support for Mouse 4/5 button glyphs when rebinding
- Added tooltip for your Class on the Character Sheet:
Lists the Class stat growth (as in Class Info during Character Creation)
- Added tooltip for your Race on the Character Sheet:
Lists the racial Traits / Resistances / Weaknesses / Allegiances for your current form. Lists other Traits that carry over between forms and are active (e.g Skeleton self-revive still works if you polymorph into a human; Insectoid still requires EN as a human)
- Added more UI sound effects to the in-game HUD
Clicking buttons / exiting menus has a sound prompt: Gamepad has additional navigation sounds when using the D-Pad or left / right bumpers
- Using a Spellbook from your Hotbar now removes the Spellbook from the Hotbar and places the newly learnt Spell in its place
- Fixed certain default Class Hotbar item arrangements to account for new Spellbook Hotbar behavior
- Added a close button to the Skills menu so it can now be closed with a mouse
- Ladder-up interaction "You cannot go back that way" no longer blocks other more important interactions (EG: Equipment interactions, as items are frequently shared between players here)
- Reduced interact priority of Rocks in the world
- Increased interact priority of Gold in the world
- Added minor delay when interacting with objects on level load to prevent issues caused by interacting with objects during level transitions
- Autosort binding has been removed for Gamepad and replaced with the Paperdoll context menu on the player portrait area for more options: Autosort / View Status Effects / Rotate Portrait

- Context menu on player portrait can be accessed on keyboard with "Hold Right Click"
- Left clicking the paperdoll button will Autosort, as well as pressing the R (default)

When active from Paperdoll context menu:
Use the Right Stick, Left / Right, or Mouse Wheel to Rotate. Press R3 / Middle-click to reset paperdoll orientation to default. Press A / B / click anywhere to dismiss window focus. Paperdoll camera now is a fixed angle unless manually rotated; No longer rotates with the player's world orientation. - Added View Status Effect window to permit gamepad users thumb-through Status Effects, also available to Mouse & Keyboard, and in Split-Screen
Icons will draw on top of inventory in this mode. Press A/B/Click anywhere to dismiss window focus.
Stealth
- Sneaking now has a unique reticle and HUD status effect when active
- NPC base vision increased in dark areas (from 2 tiles -> 3 tiles) as HDR lighting has increased the amount of dark pockets in the dungeon. This improves follower AI finding enemies to fight.
- Sneaking mechanics adjusted - now reduces your visibility by half instead of a flat number. So in bright areas you are more hidden than before, and in darker areas slightly easier to see
Appraisal and Item Value
- Using unidentified Scrolls or Potions now has a 25% chance to grant Appraisal skill when below 20 Appraisal skill
- Apples now cost same as Cheese (5 gold)
- Item Tooltips now show the full base Value of the item
