Update Notes: December 24
New Dungeon
There's a new level 85 group dungeon available for high level players who are Friends with Mope in Povus. Speak to Mope to get started. This one is intended to be a challenge for a group of six level 85 players wearing reasonably good gear. It's brand new in the sense that we finished it up last night, so no doubt it'll need some refinements. Remember to report bugs, and after you've been into the dungeon a few times, please share your balance feedback with us!
Ri-Shin
- - Povus now has a Ri-Shin tree to set up; speak with Leah Bowman for more information.
- - There is a small chance to receive a Live Event Credit when opening a Ri-Shin tree present.
- - Tweaked the Ri-Shin Shrine event in various ways, changing the required item amounts, adjusting buff effects, and adding a small chance to receive a bonus Live Event Token each time you receive a Ri-Shin Token from Snowleaf.
Combat Effects
- - The basic effect of Sword items has been recalculated. Weapons that boosted "Sword Base Damage" now boost "Sword Damage" (to different amounts). This is a buff to high level sword damage.
- - The basic effect of Dagger and Dirk items has been recalculated. Weapons that boosted "Knife Base Damage" now boost "Knife Damage" (to different amounts). This is a buff to high level knife damage, especially dual-wielding damage.
- - Fixed brewing buffs that are supposed to buff damage versus a specific anatomy group (e.g. Bears). (Previously they did nothing.)
- - Fixed brewing buffs that are supposed to buff Burst damage vs. Elites. (Previously they incorrectly boosted Melee damage.)
- - Revised brewing buffs that were intended to buff Projectile damage vs. Elites; they now buff Ranged damage. (Previously they incorrectly boosted Melee damage.)
- - Fixed ability "Toxic Irritant" not applying certain buffs/debuffs.
- - Fixed minigolems' "Taunting Punch" not applying certain buffs/debuffs.
- - Fixed pet rats' "Rat Burn" Special Trick not applying certain buffs/debuffs.
- - Fixed the Problem Spider's curse.
- - Fixed treasure effects that make Pixie Flare deal bonus damage vs. Demons.
