Ever want to show off your finished crafting project or your favourite Divination Card? Now you can with the new Item Display Case Hideout Decoration! This Hideout Decoration lets anyone who visits your hideout the ability to view any item that you place into it by hovering over your Display Case.

The Druidic Helmet features three elemental orbs that pulse depending on the element of the highest hit that you take damage from.

Finally, the Dragon's Hoard Currency Stash grows in treasure as you put currency in your stash. Store enough and an ancient dragon will guard your hoard of loot. Priority is given to the tab with the currency affinity set, or the general currency tab if you have one and affinity is not set. If you don't have a currency stash tab or a currency affinity set, it will look at the contents of your left most stash tab.
