Update 542

3/21/25

Players have been asking for a Bushido Set for years, so here are the new items!

Note: I am experimenting with allowing players to level weapon Artifacts to level 25 and level 50 so there is some interesting ways to use the special "useless" artifacts. Many could have some use with leveling and sockets! Let me know what you think, this could be really fun. See the "Katana of Sun Tzu" (levelable to 50) which is the first artifact to use the leveling system.

There is now an item display to see all the new stats on each item at the blackbelt room in Tokuno
