Patch Notes – 24 November 2023

The Loot Drops

We understand the loot drops haven't been hitting the mark. After extensive discussions with players, we're implementing a hotfix today. You'll need to open any hardmode caskets to access an updated drop table. The number of loot rolls from hard mode will increase from 6 to 8, enhancing your chances for valuable items.

Changes to Poison Pools

We're aware that poison pools feel overly punishing. We are reviewing these mechanics to reduce their severity while maintaining a challenge.

Normal Mode Adjustments

We've decided to keep the Undead Giant guarding the Western Place of Power as is. However, we are investigating its interaction with the Salve Amulet to improve gameplay balance.

Improving Attack Visibility

We are working on enhancing visibility for Zemouregal's attacks to ensure players can better anticipate and react to incoming damage.

Invoke Lord of Bones Updates

The effectiveness of the Invoke Lord of Bones Incantation will now scale more appropriately against higher-armored targets.

Managing Damage to Familiars

Starting Monday, Vorkath's zonal ice breath will no longer affect familiars if players successfully dodge the attack.

Thank you, 'Scapers! We're excited to continue improving your experience as you engage in these challenging battles!
