Tips
- Use PNGs with transparency. Items look best on a transparent background so the game can place them on any UI color.
- Keep textures small. 64ร64 is sufficient โ larger files slow loading with no visible benefit.
- Use animated GIFs sparingly. Reserve for special or legendary items where the animation signals rarity.
- Be consistent within your pack. Mismatched sizes between items look unprofessional.
