BatoForge analysis // Balance and fixes
What this update means for your run
Demo 0.8.2 reduces Shopkeeper’s discount and raises Basic Candy and Magic Mirror prices. Magic Mirror’s plain copy also excludes permanent buffs, making a heavily developed original a different proposition from its new copy.
- Berroon changes to increasing the next day’s Item limit in this version. That historical sequence is replaced by later berry-generation changes.
- Equal-species level 3 or 4 rewards stop merging into unintended level 4 or 5 units. Masked Man/Swim Coach rewards and Mystic Incense eligibility also receive fixes.
Before using an older guide
Recheck Magic Mirror’s price and the stats its copy receives before budgeting around an older example. Use the current Berroon ability for a present-day Item plan.
