Key Changes:

• General Gameplay: A League Migration button simplifies character transfers. Strongbox mechanics are enhanced with shorter enemy wave intervals, clearer mob distinction, and a fix for monster spawning issues. Fog now dissipates upon enemy defeat, and Research Strongboxes appear more frequently. Runes can be replaced, armor effectiveness is increased, and Expedition Vendor access is no longer level-gated (though item rarity depends on shop level). Minions respawn instantly near the player, Uncut Gem levels are now visible, equipped Charms display remaining charges, map entrances are safer, and item pickup is smoother during actions. Performance improvements target shadow-heavy areas, loading times, boss fights, visual effects, and The Ziggurat Encampment.

The Pain Offering's Aura tag is removed. Skills in Meta Gems no longer gain energy.
