Main Changes
Demounting Kit
A new type of consumables (Demounting Kit) has been added to the game: it allows demounting one item of complex equipment without using gold.
This consumable can be received from each fifth (large) Reward for Merit. Improved Equipment still can be demounted only for bonds.
