Mechanics
Using Hinekora's Lock on an item allows the player to preview the outcome of the next currency item applied to it by hovering the cursor over the item with the currency selected. Using a different currency will not cause that previewed outcome to occur, and remove the effects of Hinekora's Lock. Incubators being applied do not remove the previewed state.
Hinekora's Lock cannot be used on gems or any items that are corrupted, mirrored or unmodifiable. It cannot be used to preview the outcome of the Corruption Altar device in the Locus of Corruption.
Hinekora's Lock does not work with the Crafting Bench, the Horticrafting Station, beastcrafting, recombinators (despite these being currencies), or non-crafting Betrayal Safehouse benches. However, crafting a modifier on the item will remove its previewed state.[1]
Items in the previewed state adds a small icon to the item box and adds a purple glow effect to the item's 2D art. The previewed state of the item persists when traded.
