Notes

  • Stacking the perk will decrease the price of summoning a crystal ball by 20%.
    • With 5 stacks of the perk, summoning a crystal ball costs around 33 Gold nugget.png.
  • Crystal Balls have a built-in Rotate Towards Foes effect.
  • When held in your hand, a Crystal Ball will shine a purple beam that acts as a light through the fog of war.

Fortunes

Crystal Balls come with one of 40 random "fortunes" that can be inspected by hovering over the item. These often offer gameplay tips or other insight.
