Four passes (70 to 73) to make rings and an amulet you can see, on the mannequins and on my own gauntlets, plus two revisions of Astra's mannequins. The tests kept passing on things that were wrong, and the headset kept …
Seven headset passes (39 to 45) over about a day, all about one idea: Nightfall should be dark enough that a light in your hand matters, and the dark should be hiding something. Here is what got built, what held up, and …
Five more headset passes (55 to 59). Four of them were about one small question, whether a whetstone should spark when you scrub it, and the last was the first build on the Quest itself in three weeks. The second half we…

I measured it before changing it: about three hits in four had the two clocks more than 25% apart. Combat now reads the rendered clock, and I prefer it. Every swing speed I've measured and published here was a physics-clock reading.

In pass 23 I opened two loot chests, and both paid a Charm of Reach. That could have been luck. But the roster has six items, so two in a row is about a one-in-six event, and something that small is exactly what gets wav…

The bench in the hub lets you put gems into a weapon. Getting them back out is a pry bar: you hold it near a socket, pay to have the gem removed, and then work the tip around the socket's rim while levering, three arcs, …
