The second patch of No Rest for the Wicked is available, and this already introduces attribute redistribution. A highly requested feature since the game launched in Early Access last month, it’s finally making its debut. And it doesn’t come alone, since it is accompanied by a slight overhaul concerning the functioning of the weapons. Enough to make life a little easier for players during their adventure.
On the equipment side, attribute prerequisites no longer prevent you from equipping a weapon. It is therefore possible to use a weapon requiring 20 Strength when you only have 12. Obviously, a small compensation is necessary. Until the player reaches this minimum stat amount, the weapon will do significantly less damage. But this makes it easier to try different styles of play, without having to start a character again.
And to support this change, the redistribution of attributes becomes possible in No Rest for the Wicked. However, this feature is not free. You must first interact with the Crucible of Cerimes and use one Fallen Ember per attribute point removed. The cost is therefore quite high, and continues to rise with each new level taken. But this shouldn’t pose too much of a problem for players who can farm efficiently.
Other changes
The patch note obviously doesn’t stop there. For example, it is possible to display the statistics of a piece of equipment and keep its tab open to compare it to others. The “Miscellaneous” category returns to the inventory, allowing certain objects to be better sorted and to prevent them from overloading the other tabs. Merchants also benefit from a small improvement, their different products being better arranged according to category.
In addition to this, Moon Studios has addressed the game’s performance to provide a more enjoyable experience. Many improvements have been made to the CPU, in addition to optimizations aimed at making the game smoother. Some bosses and monsters have had their power adjusted to prevent them from being too easy or too hard. Suffice to say that this patch is substantial and brings a lot of good things.
