This has been highly requested since day 1 - so we couldn't be happier to give Scribes the chance to learn from the past! Scribes can now access 3 new sections of the Codex: [b]Overview[/b], [b]Signatures[/b], and [b]Run History[/b]. You'll be able to see the end-game summaries of up to 10 of your previous runs, your lifetime stats, and a breakdown of your deft usage of Signature Inks! Additionally, if you are online - you can compare aspects of your runs globally! Codex Records are an evolving feature set as we move forward - even incorporating records and stats from before this patch! This may result in some discrepancies in areas like time played vs Tomes mended, as tracking began at different points in the Early Access timeline.
