- Skills such as "Barrier," "Vow of Sanctity," and others now do not directly alter the MP regeneration modifier upon use (previously, the higher your MP regen in a normal state, the faster it depleted when using these skills), but instead reduce it by a specific amount. Now, with a sufficiently high MP regen value (thanks to Mind and items), mana can recover even while using these skills

- When taking damage, the defense from items like the Petrified carapace and similar effects was applied twice
- Using the Smoke Bomb allowed leaving the Grim Paladin's arena after the battle started, causing the player to get stuck outside
- When the effect of the "Empty bowl" artifact triggered, the character took damage
- Removing an artifact without numerical parameters (Old Map, Dried Ear) would remove its effect, even if the character still had a similar artifact in another slot. This also applied to the effects of rings without a level (Concentration, Composure)
- The max HP and damage values of creatures in the Bestiary could be displayed incorrectly.
- The leaderboard on PC was displayed over the cursor if the "Hardware Cursor" setting was disabled

• Defense is now divided into 5 types: physical (light armor, medium, and heavy), magical, and elemental
  
• Each creature now has a specific type of damage dealt and defense type. All creatures have resistances and vulnerabilities to various types of magical and elemental damage, which can be further studied in the Bestiary (after upgrades)
  
• All skills in the game have been completely reworked. Some skills (Poison, Leap, Sniper Shot) have been entirely removed and replaced with more suitable ones (points spent on removed skills will be fully refunded to the corresponding characters). The key idea of the new skill system is the variety in their effects, which will be expanded as they level up (each skill gains new properties at least at levels 12 and 25), along with more complex and nuanced choices between 3 skills in each branch
  
• A new mechanic has been added for certain skills – "Charge." By holding the skill button, it will charge, and depending on the charge level (if the skill's properties allow), it will receive increased damage and/or additional effects
  
• A new building has been added: "Junkyard." Now, auto-destroying of items via filters is available only after its construction (for older players who had auto-destroying enabled in Settings, the first level of the building is constructed automatically). Upgrading this building makes destroying any items more profitable

• The skill upgrade interface has been completely redesigned
  
• Zombie-Swordsmen, Zombie-Warriors, Skeletons, Skeleton-Archers, as well as all types of ogres, guards, spiders, ratmen, rats, and all Necromancer summons are now animated

• The character attribute screen in the dungeon has been updated: the list of displayed parameters has been expanded, all icons are now colored, and the skill upgrade window has been updated to match the new skill system; the list of active effects on the character has been moved to a separate tab
  
• The character preview at the class selection screen (at the end of tutorial) has been updated
  
• When constructing a building that unlocks a new character class, the player will see a message with a preview of that character
  
• All Necromancer seals, as well as idol seals found in dungeons (which reflect damage or resurrect monsters as shadows), now have a unique appearance
  
• Item names have been standardized: some names have been completely changed to better match postfixes for items of non-standard quality; capital letters have also been removed from the second word in names where it was unnecessary
  
• When summoning enhanced creatures, a popup will display the type of enhancement, and the color of their icon will correspond to the enhancement
  
• The appearance of flame streams (used by the "Fire Breath" skill and relevant traps) has been updated; light from flame streams will no longer pass through walls if possible
  
• When controlling with keyboard and mouse, the cursor size can now be changed in the Settings

• Added visual effects for HP and MP absorption (under "Other Effects" in the Settings)

• The appearance of the well has been updated: its resolution now better matches the rest of the dungeon; the well now casts a shadow and displays a visual water splash effect when used
  
• A tooltip has been added to the Forge screen explaining the basics of the item upgrade system
  
• Links to inactive social networks have been removed from the “Community” screen (only Discord remains)

• Some weapons are now considered "hand-and-a-half" (all staves, as well as certain swords and axes). When no item is equipped in the off-hand, the character will wield such a weapon with both hands, increasing the weapon's damage bonus by 30%
  
• Parameters and prices of many types of equipment have been rebalanced; some items received new damage or defense types, in line with the updated system
  
• Cleansing cursed altars will now drop items, the quality and quantity of which depends on the current floor; the chance of the altar being cursed has been increased, and the delay between new shadows appearing during cleansing has been reduced
  
• The "Breath of Chaos" effect has been reworked. It now increases the damage of each attack not by X units, but by a random value between 0 and X; the damage bonus is now limited by the value [current floor * 4] (previously it was [current floor * 5])
  
• Berserker's off-hand weapon now has a damage range similar to the main hand (the off-hand weapon damage is still reduced by 50%)
  
• MP cost for using skills now increases as they are upgraded (most skills now consume half the MP at level 1)
  
• Each hit on crystals in the walls restores HP or MP depending on their type

For Pocket Rogues on Steam, community items are now available: trading cards, badges, profile backgrounds, avatars, and emoticons themed around the game!



For those who are unfamiliar with what this is and how it works: simply by playing Pocket Rogues on Steam, you will receive one card from the available collection until you've collected half of them. After that, you can trade with friends to get the missing cards, or buy them from other players who have listed their cards for sale. By completing the full card collection, you can convert them into a Pocket Rogues badge, which gives you experience for your Steam profile level and can be displayed on your own profile page.



When creating and upgrading the badge, you will receive random items from the Pocket Rogues collection, such as unique profile backgrounds and emoticons, and you will also increase the badge level - up to level 5. By collecting all the metallic (especially rare) forms of the cards, you can create the rarest badge: a metallic one.

Currently available on Steam are:

• 9 trading cards (one for each class in the updated design, which will soon appear in the game, as well as the classic version of the Warrior, Archer, and Wizard from the tutorial)
  
• 10 profile backgrounds (3 backgrounds with characters, and 7 backgrounds with landscapes of locations)
  
• 10 emoticons
  
• 5 badge levels and a special, metallic badge
  
• 4 avatars (available to everyone who bought the game on Steam, without a link to the collectible cards)

Backgrounds and emoticons can be obtained not only by upgrading the Pocket Rogues badge but also by directly purchasing them in the Steam points shop (this is a special currency that you get by buying games on Steam - it has no additional cost): https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/app/946610

Update 1.36.1 is dedicated to fixing and enhancing many aspects of the game, aiming to make the gameplay much more comfortable. Now, you won't have to spend a lot of time selling your inventory items to the Merchant or worry about accidentally selling/dropping/destroying your valuable items.

And the dungeons themselves have come alive! Now, goblins and certain other creatures are fully animated, as are all friendly NPCs and mercenaries. By the way, did I mention that you can now encounter two new mercenaries?

And somewhere deep within the cold and treacherous depths of the Prison, someone vulnerable and infinitely loyal is already waiting for you...



[GAMEPLAY]
- After constructing a new building, the Trapper will appear in the Camp. With his help, you can exchange and upgrade pets directly in the dungeon without returning to the Fortress
- Upon purchasing the new "Trading rows" building, players will have the ability to lock any item in their inventory. A locked item cannot be accidentally sold, destroyed, or dropped until the player removes the lock
- After upgrading the "Trading rows" to level two, players can quickly sell all inventory items to the Merchant, except for the locked ones
- A new pet has been introduced. It can be found in the Abandoned Prison after 7th floor, provided that the "Trapper's shack" has been built

- Some objects in the rooms of the Catacombs and Prison that were always found there, now appear by chance



[BALANCE]

- The attacks of the Wandering Troll and Tamed Troll now have a knockback effect and deal damage to everyone, including their allies

- When sacrificing a pet, there's a 35% chance that one of its attributes will decrease by 1

- After constructing a Pen in the Camp, a small fenced area for pets will appear

- The skill description "Sign of Sacrifice" has been changed: it now more accurately reflects the effect's action (increases all damage taken by the creature, rather than reducing its defense). The effect applied to enemies has been renamed to "Vulnerability"
- Next to the skill upgrade button on the character selection screen, a skill point icon is now displayed
- The cost of buying new abilities for pets in skill points and gems is now displayed in one cell to avoid confusion

[GAMEPLAY]

- Unlocking unique perks, such as new Obsidian Tower mods or item blueprints, are now displayed on the summary screen
