New items

Chromatic crystals

The ingredient of Scepter of friendship. Can be found in warm ocean ruins.

Royal staff rod

Infuse a Royal staff scrap into a Faint staff rod to get a Royal staff rod. See Royal staff in crafting recipe changes below.

Royal staff scrap

Renamed from Royal staff ingredient. The in-game ID is still avm_staff:royal_staff_ingredient for compatibility. It will not be removed while upgrading a world.

Faint scepter of friendship

A master level armorer has a 66.66% (I refuse to write down a brainrot number) chance of offering a Faint scepter of friendship for 2 Faint staff rods and 1 Faint scepter of friendship head.

Do you believe this is the weaponsmith's job? If so, see why I chose the armorer in this discussion, and if you still disagree, tell me that I should change this.

Faint scepter of friendship head

An expert level armorer has a 66.66% (I refuse to write down a brainrot number) chance of offering a Faint scepter of friendship head for 32 emeralds and 5 Chromatic crystals.

Scepter of friendship

AKA The blue staff, the lapis staff

A master level cleric has a 66.66% (I refuse to write down a brainrot number) chance of offering a Scepter of friendship for 1 Faint scepter of friendship and 3 Lapis lazuli.

• Items in a staff can now be swapped with the item in the other hand
• Added an overlay message if insertion is not supported
