Update 1.38.2

[GAMEPLAY]

• After a character dies, their equipped items can be recovered by returning to the same floor in the same location where they were defeated. If that character dies again, the old items will be lost permanently
  
• A third Personal Chest has been added to the Camp (available in the Ultimate version only; requires the "Shelter" building to be upgraded to level 4)

• Added 7 new class perks (2 for the Warrior, 1 for the Archer, 1 for the Wizard, 2 for the Berserker, and 1 for the Necromancer) and 1 universal perk
  
• Crystals can now be exchanged for gold right in the dungeon: interacting with the Merchant's cart opens the same window as on the Fortress screen

[INTERFACE]
