Changelogs
Version Alpha-0.1
Leechdraught Consumable Penalty reduced from 30 seconds (base) to 10 seconds.
Riak's Mew (Nightstorm Isle) changed from a Major Talisman (Relic) to Minor Talisman.
Gefn's Blessing now grants 15% damage resistance passively, the timer on the other two stages are unchanged.
Dulling Tonic reworked into a testing stamina boost potion, granting -25% damage dealt and +50% stamina regeneration for 120 seconds.
Dwale now costs nothing to craft. (Please do not abuse this, it is currently there as a placeholder while new items and the like are concocted.)
Lathyrian Lantern Ash Lumens increased to 7200 from 3000. (Unsure if this has an actual effect.)
Version 0.45-beta
Fixed artifacting on Kite Shield, for real this time.
Added new weapon, the Nightstorm Halberd, dropped from a miniboss in Nightstorm Isle.
Version 0.43-beta
Reverted Hearth to base game due to a bug causing crashing to desktop upon connection with another player.
Fixed artifacting from testing paks leaving Kite Shield not being identical to its base game version, including a model swap.
Version 0.42-beta
Fixed artifacting from previous modding, Gilded Halberd would have been a 1 handed spear using the physical model of the Shield Maiden Spear and its hitbox, resulting in inconsistent play.
Version 0.4-beta
Reduced Ukkoto's Guile base stacks down to 3 from 5, reduced base damage by 1, from 2, and decreased damage by 1 point per item level. This change should result in decreasing the oppressive viability of high burst damage builds in high level play.
Doubled Orli's Fuse explosion radius from 180 units to 360 units, increased AOE damage multiplier from 10% to 25%. Added a 1.0 ChargeCooldown, will be removed if reception is negative.
After long experimentation, finally removed Riak's Mew helmet from player model when equipped.
Seer HP/s increased from 2 to 4.
White Ashen Feathers stamina increase buffed from 2 points to 6. Should result in a 2 point stamina gain in Children of Sissna.
Reverted the useless Lathyrian Lantern change.
All consumables with a maximum stack size of 9 have had their maximum stack size increased to 18 to reduce inventory bloat.
Reverted the Dwale buff (believe it or not, after serious testing, that was actually a buff, I am a major moron.)
Removed Leechdraught consumption penalty entirely, reduced stack size to 4 to compensate.
Reduced Vigorous Draught stamina recovery from 50% increase to 25%.
Added new weapon, Otherworldly Sword, into the game. Currently drops from the Vagrants outside Vagrant's Rest with a low drop chance. Increased Garoran Forgone spawned per slam to 10. Because I crave chaos.
Added a Readme to the download to answer any installation questions.
Version 0.3-beta
Removed Iron Shards from the game.
Dwale has had its damage reduction reduced back to 50%, duration remains unchanged. Mushrooms required increased from 1(base) to 2.
Umap changes, the male Vagrant beneath Jokell's hut and Jokell himself have had their positions swapped. Jokell was rotated to compensate, now looking out towards the hills by the Annex of Light.
Sissna's original damage values have been reverted, her difficulty modifier on her attacks have been reduced from 1.0, to 0.95 to compensate. This should result in a 5% net decrease in damage taken.
Increased Fatal Fall Damage distance from 1500 units to 2000 units.
Updated file, should now be compressed into a pak as intended.
Version 0.2-alpha
Dulling Tonic renamed to Vigorous Draught, with a change in item description to match.
Iron Shard introduced, a new crafting material that replaces White Sapotes on the drop table. Currently used to craft Dwale.
Sissna attack damage reduced by 20 points across the board.
Hearth has been reworked, now grants a passive +2 hp/s regen.
Dwale recipe changed to 5 Iron Shards, 2 White Sapotes, and 500 Scoria.
Dwale buff changed to 70% over 90 seconds from 50% over 120 seconds.
Drifter maximum health bonus increased from 25 to 30.
Riak's Mew (Nightstorm) reverted back to a Major Talisman after further testing.

Ashen: Age of Light is an overhaul of Ashen, aiming to bring old items into relevancy, while tweaking existing items to make them feel unique in the homogenization of old gameplay. Right now, in the Alpha phase, we intend to add new items to drop tables, tweak existing consumables, weapons, armors, and talismans, and hopefully introduce new weapons by the time we enter the Beta phase. With each patch, there will be a patch log to ensure everybody is kept on the same page. The Nightstorm Isle DLC is required to get the fullest from this mod, as changes will be made to Nightstorm Isle items and enemies.
