Swordcery Patch v0.5.71 Streamlines Relic Management and Menus

Swordcery update v0.5.71 adds direct passive relic sidebar navigation inside shop and chest menus. It also introduces quick-recycle inputs and closes an infinite divinium exploit.

Swordcery has deployed patch v0.5.71, targeting quality-of-life pain points in inventory management and menu navigation. Players can now check and recycle relics directly from vendor and chest interfaces without tedious inventory shuffling.

Menu Navigation and Inventory Access

Players inside the blacksmith sword shop, passive relic shop, and chest menus can now navigate directly to the passive relic sidebar to check details and current bonuses. A dedicated on-screen button has been added to open the full inventory from these menus, returning players to their previous shop or chest upon closing. This addition preserves D-pad navigation compatibility.

Direct Relic Recycling

Passive Relic Chest menus now allow players to hold the interact button over either selection choice to recycle a main relic choice immediately. Previously, players had to take a relic into a slot and drop it to recycle it. Across swords shops, relic shops, and chest menus, players can navigate to any relic in the passive sidebar and press interact to drop it, or hold interact to recycle it. Regular inventory screens now use a single press to drop and a hold to recycle.

Exploit Fix

The patch eliminates an exploit where repeatedly selecting Returning to Town from the death menu during an active respawn line-up granted infinite divinium carryover credits.

Why this patch matters

Version 0.5.71 removes unnecessary friction from inventory management, making relic hoarding and cleanup much faster between runs.
