New
- Weapons and equipment can now have sockets. Drag a matching upgrade onto an item to install it permanently; the tooltip shows free sockets and every active bonus.
- Slime Essence gives a weapon a 5% double-hit chance, Goat Foot adds 20 movement speed, Butterfly Essence adds 15 attack, and Pupa Essence increases maximum HP by 100.
Changed
- Monsters can drop and NPCs can sell items with a configured socket count. Items with per-instance socket configuration are temporarily disabled in player stalls until a shared trade transaction is introduced.
- First Aid and Holy Light have new icons.
