##### THE MASTERY IS REAL?!?!!

---

##### **New Content**

• Cooking Mastery is HERE! Unlocked via Rift 61.

• New Ribbons - Rank 21~25. Must be unlocked via Rift 61.

• New Research Grid - \

• New Vial -  uses Chapter 6 spelunking pages, and is called Canteen Read. Just sayin.

• New Arcade Bonus type - go max it out while it's there!

• New Salt Lick upgrade - you MUST build it via Construction. If you were in middle school when the last Salt Lick upgrade released, you'd now be in university. This is not an exaggeration.

• New Zuperbit upgrade

##### **Balance Changes**

• Important note: The "chance for +2 rank when combining ribbons" bonus from gambit does not apply for Ribbon Rank 20+ reason being so that RNG does not have as much of a role in ribbon progression in the future.

• All Salt Lick upgrades now cost salt, and cost amounts have been adjusted to account for this.

##### **Bug Fixes**

• Fixed the Dreadnaught rare drop from last update not being in the slab, nor properly sorted as an item.
