After some discussion, I've decided to re-add 1.08 support since even though I'm against time-based Dark Patterns, this was the only patch that ever used it, and only for the Deadly Crafts. These crafts were a very small piece of the patch and we can consider them as additional content if anything. Thus if you do end up getting the required Runes during the specific days, then you can try to make them, and if not, no big deal. I also vaguely remember someone saying you could manually set your system clock to get them to generate lol. I'll leave that decision up to you.
Bug Fixes
Backported Succulent's Skip Introduction Cinematics Improvements to 1.08. The same improvement introduced to 1.07 and 1.09b is now also implemented for 1.08 as well.
