Vessel Select *
This is a feature we received a lot of requests for from the community, so we’re delighted to introduce it in this update! The Vessel Carousel has been removed and replaced with an updated Vessel Select screen. Vessel Select allows you to manually select your Vessel’s Folk, Unique Trait, Weapon Trait and Difficulty. If you prefer to take your chances with Lady Luck, you will still find the option available to randomize your Vessel. You can also choose to randomize just the appearance of your Vessel. As part of these changes, all Legacy costs from Vessel Select have been removed. This, of course, brings up the question about other ways Legacy can be spent in game. It’s something we’re discussing and hope to address in future updates.
In the new Vessel Select screen, you will now be able to cycle through each customizable option, such as Folk, Weapons, Traits and even Difficulty options – We’ve renamed these options to Normal, Hard and Nightmare to make it easier to identify them during discussions. Zoom in/out, and rotation options are also included so you can get a good look at your Vessel.
Do note that you will only be able to select from options that have already been unlocked in your runs.

New Cards
We received feedback about adding more creative options in the Card pool available to you in Ravenbound. Our goal is to make the strategy layer for your character building richer and more meaningful using cards. These new cards are designed to push that variety, and should make the strategy as a whole more exciting as they start to encompass new ways to interact with the world. Minor Pandemonium, Inner Growth, and Meditation represent a direction we’re very excited to head towards with cards.
