Patch Highlights

New Gathering Skill - Salvaging: Break down unwanted gear and deconstruct skill cards into salvage scrap, refined matrices, elemental cores, and recovered base crafting ingredients.
New Creation Skill - Artificing: Craft specialized salvaging kits, artificer spanners, chronometer overclocks, and 8 Elemental Attunement Cores.
Elemental Attunement & Dynamic Epithets: Infuse weapons, armor, and accessories with elemental cores to gain bonus elemental damage and dynamic rarity-bracket titles.
Hero Profile Overhaul: The Dashboard has evolved into a full Profile screen featuring a 14-slot gear showcase, customizable trophy showcase, guild and union crests, and collapsible stat breakdowns.
Astral Tavern & UI Polish: Multi-row profession tabs on mobile, Inscription spell card type badges, companion elemental typing pills, and player EXP bars.
Alen Bot Knowledge Ledger: Upgraded with 1,959 verified knowledge chunks covering the entire codex, prestige shops, world events, synergies, and elemental damage mechanics.

Salvaging introduces a dedicated progression loop for recycling unused equipment and cards:

Gear Dismantling (Lv 1 to Lv 100+): Salvage unlocked weapons, armor, accessories, and tools across 8 rarity brackets (Common through Divine).
5 Tiered Salvage Materials:
- Rusted Salvage Scrap (Common, Lv 1-20)
- Reclaimed Alloy (Uncommon, Lv 25-45)
- Arcane Slag (Rare, Lv 50-70)
- Void Remnant (Epic, Lv 75-95)
- Astral Salvage Core (Legendary+, Lv 100-115)
Dynamic Ingredient Recovery: In addition to guaranteed salvage scrap, dismantling gear rolls to recover up to 50% of the original recipe materials (metal bars, leather, planks, or gems). Drops from monsters yield tier-appropriate refined bars.
Skill Card Deconstruction Migration: Deconstructing skill cards has transitioned from Inscription into Salvaging, returning blank parchments, vellum, specialized inks, and salvage scrap.
Inventory Safety: Salvaging strictly ignores locked items and consumes uninvested duplicate gear first. Freeing bag space occurs before rolling rewards so full inventories do not void drops.

Artificing serves as the central bridge between gathering, smithing, alchemy, jewelcrafting, and inscription:

Tool Smithing: Forge complete 10-tier tool progressions for both Salvaging Kits and Artificer Spanners from Copper up to Primordial.
Salvage Matrix Refinement: Refine raw scrap and slag into condensed matrices and higher-tier components.
8 Elemental Attunement Cores:
- Crucible Kinetic Core (Physical)
- Pyre Attunement Core (Fire)
- Hoarfrost Attunement Core (Ice)
- Fulminant Attunement Core (Lightning)
- Empyrean Attunement Core (Holy)
- Eclipse Attunement Core (Dark)
- Miasma Attunement Core (Poison)
- Firmament Attunement Core (Magic)
Elemental Gear Infusion:
- Weapons imbued with an elemental core convert basic auto-attacks to that elemental damage type and gain additive elemental damage scaling (+3% at Common up to +15% at Divine).
- Armor, quivers, and accessories gain corresponding defensive and elemental affinity bonuses (+1.5% to +7.5%).
- Attuned items gain dynamic rarity-bracket epithets (e.g. Pyre-Touched Blade, Blade of the Cindercrown, or Solaris-Forged Blade of the Immortal Pyre).
Overclock Consumables & Utility Gear: Craft chronometer utility belts, pocket overclocks, and draughts granting gathering speed, double craft chances, and drop rate bonuses.
Synergies & Specializations: New Tier I (Lv 25) and Tier II (Lv 60) synergies connecting Salvaging with Artificing, Smithing, and Inscription, plus Lv 50 Master Reclaimer, Rapid Disassembler, Core Architect, and Chrono Engineer specializations.

The Dashboard has been restructured into an expansive adventurer showcase:

Profile Showcase Card: Highlights your Race, Main Class, Level, Adventurer Guild Rank (with title and crest), and Union affiliation.
14-Slot Gear Showcase: Displays every equipped weapon, armor piece, quiver, tool, and accessory with live enhancement levels, sockets, and elemental attunement badges.
Customizable Trophy Showcase: Select up to 3 unlocked Achievements, 1 earned Title, and 3 prized items from your bag to pin directly to your public hero profile.
Collapsible Inspection Panels: Clean toggleable views for:
- Basic Stats & Combat Affinities: Attack power, magic power, accuracy, evasion, crit chance/damage, and all 8 elemental bonuses.
- Active Deck: Slotted Active, Buff/Debuff, and Passive skill cards.
- Professions Overview: Compact level and mastery progression for all 14 gathering and crafting disciplines.
Expanded Lifetime Milestones: Track monsters slain, resources gathered, items crafted, total gold earned, Astral Rifts closed, highest Spire floor, and Primordial Sanctum raid boss strikes.

Responsive Multi-Row Skill Navigation: Gathering and Creation hub headers now wrap neatly into multi-row tab strips on mobile, eliminating horizontal scrolling.
Salvaging Bag Counters: Salvaging action cards display the exact count of unlocked matching items currently in your inventory.
Inscription Card Categorization: Inscription recipes are now organized by spell type (Active, Buff, Debuff, Healing, Passive) with clear mana cost and cooldown indicators.
Level Requirement Warnings: Skill cards in your inventory show their level requirement highlighted in red whenever your hero level is insufficient to equip them.
Companion Elemental Badges: Companion cards, Pet Storage slots, and the Pet Compendium now display distinct elemental affinity badges (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Holy, Dark, Void, Earth).
Hero EXP Bar: Added persistent Level and EXP progress indicators to the mobile drawer menu and the Combat page header.

Alen, the Astral Tavern realm guide, has received a full architectural knowledge refresh:

1,959 Knowledge Chunks: Indexed across 43 domain categories with 0 data gaps and zero missing fields.
Comprehensive Topic Coverage: Full coverage for Prestige Shops, Constellations, Reliquaries, Companion Bonds, Pet Synergies, Homestead expansions, Weekly Events, and Elemental damage interactions.
Enhanced Search & Synonyms: The query retriever now resolves terms for salvaging, artificing, dismantles, attunements, bloodlines, contracts, trials, and specializations seamlessly. Mention
