Legend[]

Something is considered a new update if it happens on a different week as the past update.
Something is considered a patch if it's added after an update but doesn't contain enough content to be considered one.
The update highest on the webpage (the one right below the legend) is the most recent game update that has been put into the wiki.


November 23rd, 2024[]

Bounty Rework
• Bounties now range from 1 to 8 Stars. Stars are calculated using a new point system for evaluating how strong a target is. Each Star is equivalent to 20 Points.
• Currently, each Power is worth 5 pts (so Power 20 is worth 100 pts), having a Resonance is worth 15 pts, having an Oath is worth 10 pts, having an enchant/LW is worth 10 pts, Outfit Tiers are worth 5, 10, 15 pts for Adept, Expert, and Master/Unique respectively
• You may only take on bounties with a Star rating up to 1 Star lower than your own Star rating. For example, if your own Bounty rating is 5 Stars, you can hunt people with 4 Stars, but not people with 3 Stars. You're free to hunt anyone with a higher Star rating than you if you fancy a challenge.
• Grasp of Eylis tool use CD reduced (60s -> 5s)
• Voideye CD reduced (10m -> 5m)
• Bounty EXP per star hasn't changed, so higher stars will net more EXP than you could get before
• Overall this system makes for fairer bounties as factors other than just your level are included
A big thank you to flamehunter3000 for suggesting this revamp.

Guild Renaming
• Guilds can now be renamed at a Guild Clerk
• Renaming can only be done once a week and costs 1000 Robux. Price may be subject to change but is where it is right now to deter people from hopping names every week

Content & Systems
• New Ironsing Pistol LW: "Iron Requiem"
• New Face Equipment Base/Azure/Amber Browline Citadel Frames
• New Face Equipment Base/Azure/Amber Round Citadel Frames

• But what of the Second Prophet's other students? Perhaps one of them might be more sympathetic; perhaps they might even willing to share what they know of the mysteries of Blood?
17 New Blood Mantras added!!
30 New Blood Talents added!!

HALLOWTIDE RETURNS
Once again, the festivities of Hallowtide have claimed Lumen for the next 2 weeks! Seek out the legendary Floating Keep of the Spellhardt family to get started...

This damage multiplier depends on the level of the inhaled mantra, scaling up to +10% damage with Lv. 5 Mantras.

• Clarified when Audacity stuns enemies for longer in its talent description
• Windmill Ring and Light Eater Ring will no longer stack together on hybrid element attacks
• Fixed the damage reduction formula for Flame Repulsion
• Symbiotic Sustain no longer procs Deep Gems besides Blue Gem

October 25th, 2024[]


Warcaller Bell
• The Warcaller Bell has been unearthed in the East Luminant, granting access to a potent ritual. Those at Power 20 can ring the bell to bring forth the call for War. Once 4 players ring the bell, the server will enter War Mode for 20 minutes
• While in a War Mode server, all Power 20 players will be Marked by their Guild emblem appearing over their head. Killing the Marked players of other guilds will drop chests and add to the Warchest. Killing players that aren't Marked won't give you anything
• The Warchest is a prize pot that is distributed among the Marked members of the highest scoring guild in the server after the War Mode ends
• Random Events do not spawn on Marked players and static mob spawns are disabled in War Mode servers. Bosses like the Primadon and Dread Serpent can still be spawned
• Once the Warchest has accrued 30 Points, Guild Banners will gradually add to the Warchest and your Guild's score
• If the Warchest has less than 30 Points at 10 minutes in, the ritual will end early, and no Guild will be declared the winner

• Fixed Mirror Illusion being unobtainable
• Fixed Clutching Shadow being instant on feint

Major Performance Improvements
This week comes with another round of major performance improvements, this time focusing on fixing memory leaks and reducing server memory costs. These should help prevent older servers from chugging, as well as just generally improve the lag.
• Greatly optimized status effects to be a lot more lightweight
• Greatly optimized combat tags to be a lot more lightweight
• Greatly optimized Seasons system (winter snow, autumn leaves, etc.)

• Fixed uppercuts ending early
• Fixed anti-gank on mobs
• Your own attacks no longer damage your own Ice Fissure

Patch 2.0.0b[]

War Mode Balancing
• Dimensional Travel in War Mode is now 1:1 with physical space, meaning that 100 studs travelled in the Interstice is 100 studs travelled in the physical world. This still allows for ambushes and tactical retreats but prevents using it for fast-travel in War Mode
• Teleportation in War Mode now has a range limit of 1000 studs and its cooldown is doubled
• During War Mode, only Marked players can take Banners
• Reduced frequency of Banner Warchest contributions in War Mode
• To counter flooding, you now get a penalty to your Guild Score depending on a rolling average of your Guild member count in the server. Basically, this just means that the more of your Guild are in a server, the less each kill/banner payout will be worth
• Score amounts have been multiplied by 10 but all the reqs have been multiplied by 10 so there won't be any change other than visually. This was done to allow for the above change
• During War Mode, Non-Marked players deal half damage to Marked players and vice versa

• Parry stun window adjusted again (0.15s to 0.35s -> 0.2s to 0.4s), parry stun for weapons with equal swingspeeds increased (0.25s -> 0.3s)
• Your weapon's base damage is now reduced by 35% if you wield it below its requirements using glitches. You shouldn't notice a change unless you're deliberately bug abusing

Weapons with above 1x swing speed now have a reduction to shaky block frames proportional to their swing speed, capping out at a 20% reduction at 1.2x swing speed
• Casting Mantras, using crits, and M1'ing now fully cancel rolls early. This does not apply if you Gale Dash with an M1

• Repeater 1.13 -> 1.25x
• Divine Flintlock 1.2 -> 1.33x

• Silentheart no longer innately has 10% Mantra resistance
• Dread Stacks no longer give a damage multiplier to your M1's and crits

Voidwalker Changes
• You can once again speak with the Voidmother to depart the Voidheart while in combat, but doing so will create a rift that will take you to a random location. Others can follow you through these rifts to give chase
• The Voidheart is no longer a Spawn Location/Inn. New Voidwalkers still spawn at the Voidheart when they spawn in for the first time, but your Spawn Location/'Inn' by default is Erisia. Naturally, you can still access the Voidheart via your Voideye
• The Voidheart has shrunk somewhat, with the Dusklit Garden being removed and its Blacksmith relocating to the main hall. The Void is unpredictable and ever-shifting
• You can no longer place Guild Bases while on a Voidwalker hunt. Some NPC's are unavailable while on a Voidwalker hunt

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed a very long-standing issue with combat tags where kill credit wasn't correctly assigned. Kill contributions still worked completely fine, but the ultimate credit for who got the kill wasn't always correct, effectively being random. Kill credit prioritised players over mobs/environment correctly, but didn't prioritise for who did the most damage correctly. This fixes bounties going to the wrong player, PvP score going to the wrong guild, and a lot of other things. Whenever some guy m1'd you once and got credit for the kill instead of the demon who did 90% of your health, it was probably this bug

July 5th, 2024[]

Content & Systems
• New Legendary Weapon
• Following the discovery of the Ministry's Understrand network of passages, more of these passages have been found in areas their agents frequent...
• Added support for random events to not take up an 'event slot' in a region. Regions are capped to a certain amount of events active at a time, so this lets certain more secretive or less combat-oriented events exist without blocking new events from spawning in. There is a cap to how many 'no slot' events can be present in a region, however
• You can now toggle your Weapon Stance at the Campfire Rest menu. This opens up this option for console players
• Added a few more loading tips

Balancing & Tweaks
• Etris Raid event can now spawn in winter. Buffed size of Etris Raid loot chests

• Gran Sudaruska crit hitbox is now a sphere instead of a half-sphere. i.e. hits behind too now so you can't bait parries by turning away mid-crit
• Curse of the Bloodthirsty blood loss penalty increased (1 -> 2)
• Encircle CD increased (9s -> 10s)
• Increased Needle Barrage base damage per needle (2 -> 4), needles now apply a brief stun if they hit. Damage with upgrades scaled down to adjust

• Sightless Still screen effect reduced
• The Wormwarder Lantern no longer drops on death
• Improved Jet Kick accuracy. Fixed Jet Kick movestacks

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed static events like Etris Raid going on cooldown repeatedly even when not active, leading to them only ever spawning at the server's start. Been a bug since before the game even came out
• Greatly optimized random event spawning. Should also result in less failed checks so you won't have as many dry sections where nothing's spawning
• Greatly optimized static event spawning
• Optimized damage processing substantially. Should have some pretty good performance benefits
• Optimized area detection
• Fixed being able to spawn into the Ministry Cache area or use TP res to get in there and jump people

(credit to Lulux44 for the anims on the new LW btw!)

• Fixed some issues with event spawning in new servers

• Fixed Shadow Travel dealing damage at low distances

• Nemesis activation now deals the damage of the hit that procced its mark. This means that if you used an uppercut or an aerial, it'll deal your weapon's uppercut/aerial damage and not the regular M1 damage.

• Fixed the Diluvian Mechanism not being counted as Layer 1 by some mechanics
• The Soothsayer doesn't repeat themself as often

• Fixed Flame Emperor proccing when you miss the Pleeksty's Inferno running crit

June 21st, 2024[]

• New Face Equipment: Summer Nauticals, Dusk Nauticals, Seaglass Nauticals

Wither disappears on its own when you're out of combat, and rapidly disappears at a Campfire. Getting a healthpack or getting knocked clears your Wither
• Your base M1/crit PEN is now displayed under your Character Stats in the Rest Summary screen. This factors in your weapon's PEN, passive talents like Thresher Claws/Chief's Will/etc., and your Weapon PEN from Proficiency
• Your base Mantra PEN is now displayed under your Character Stats in the Rest Summary screen. This factors in passive talents like Thresher Claws/Crippling Darkness/etc., and your Mantra PEN from Songchant

• Gliders no longer require an unlock to craft

Talent Merges

• Firmly Planted is now base behavior. In effect, all slow debuffs have been reduced by 25% while you're not using an ability. Those who had Firmly Planted will get a free hand of talents

Balancing & Tweaks
• Your Guild now loses 5 points of PvP score every time another Guild gains score from killing one of your members. Unlike positive score additions, point deductions aren't doubled on weekends

• You can no longer enter the Diluvian Mechanism while in combat
• Low Sanity is now more visually oppressive

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Optimized Talent handling in damage packet processing considerably

• Fixed Replenishing Knockout only proccing if the player knocking the enemy has the talent, and not whether the player receiving the heal has it
• Fixed Bleed ticks dealing WAY more damage than intended in PvE (would scale with PvE power scaling twice so was dealing like 10x more damage than intended per tick)
• Fixed Bleed ticks not counting towards damage dealt - coupled with the above bug, this could mean you didn't get credit for killing bosses if you were using bleed
• Fixed Grand Feast heal not proccing
• Fixed Lieutenants not being able to promote/demote Officers
• Fixed Wind Passage clipping through walls
• Fixed Ignition Deepcrusher having a slower swing speed on its Hammer form

• Wither now decays from Resting even while in Danger

Weapon Clue: tiran

corrections:
• Star Duster has the Star Duster talent, not Moving Fortress

June 14th, 2024[]

Content & Systems
• New Fire Mantra: Flame Sentinel ★★
• New HVY/MED Side Gun Talent: Hip Shooter
• New STR Talent: Piercing Blow
• New STR Talent: Broken Ankles
• New Relic: Gilded Needle; crafted with 5 Armorer's Needles and Gold
• Added new Guild Role: Lieutenant. Lieutenants can promote Members to Officers and demote Officers.

Demoting a Lieutenant will make them an Officer again
• Vow of Mastery now has a tool that no longer requires the user to speak to issue commands or recruit subjects. These can still be done by chatting, but the tool allows for much more convenient usage
• Added boards to view Guild Rankings
• Added more Voidwalker invasion spots
• Gold Rings and Gold Bars can be melted down into Gold at a campfire

Balancing & Tweaks
• Swing Speed as a stat has been overhauled. Instead of 1x Swing Speed being the absolute max, 1x is now equivalent to the starter 'Sword' Swing Speed, which was formerly 0.75x. i.e. Instead of 1x being the max value for Swing Speed, it's now the average across weapon classes. The Swing Speed of every weapon in the game has been adjusted and rebalanced as a result. Timings should be about the same as before
• Added a subtle sound cue for when M1's become parryable
• Humanoid mobs now have M1 timing more in line with players
• Fixed Hold M1 swinging faster than possible with human input/macro input
• Buffed Primadon drop rates of Smith's Alloy and Armorer's Needle
• Shade Devour now takes a little less health on activation (7% -> 5%)

• Wyrmtooth critical attack cooldown increased (6s -> 10s)

• Updated Shade Devour vfx
• Jet Kick anim speed is less tied to swing speed now
• Action Surge swing speed buff increased (+0.03x -> +0.04x)
• Pale Briar crit now disables the use of Mantras while firing
• Toned down volume of Capra Marks

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Remotely exiling a Ranked guild member now correctly removes their rank from your roster. To fix 'ghost' officers, you can just remote exile them again to correct it
• Fixed Agitating Spark causing Flame Within to instantly extinguish
• Fixed Agitating Spark proccing from burn ticks causing it to instantly extinguish on others
• Fixed Burn ticks cancelling executes
• Added a small cooldown to Guild Shouts to prevent abuse
• Fixed being able to use invalid characters in Mantra names. These would get filtered out and potentially overwrite your other Mantras
• Optimized swim checks
• Fixed Cerulean Thread 2nd crit not activating (actually this time)
• Fixed some titles being weirdly offset
• Fixed per-target cooldown on Command: Live
• Fixed Hold M1 not working if you start holding M1 during certain moves
• Fixed having a Bleed weapon causing your offhand gun to proc Bleed
• Parry Sparkles now display correctly on offhand attacks
• Fixed not being able to turn in the artifacts at Aratel
P.S. Double Chests again, Yun'Shul wish reset

• Fixed parrying Rising Frost's initial hit not cancelling the rest of the move
• Spike Traps now extends the CD on Ice Spike by 5s to 20s total
• Fixed rectangular hitbox weapons (Spear/Rapier/etc.) not being able to break Devouring Eye
• Fixed Caltrops not being parryable mid-flight
• Fixed Hold M1 queueing up an M1 after you Mantra feint

Note: Swing speeds didn't get increased by the overhaul, it's mostly just a visual change to how swing speeds are displayed. However, the Swingspeed rebalance changes did reduce Dagger speeds in general so this week wasn't just a LHT buff HVY/MED nerf

• Loot All no longer has a windup in instanced servers (thanks NathaneltheRobloxg7 for the suggestion)
• Fixed Berserk sfx playing on self damage

Patch 1.8.1a[]

• Made Hold M1 less delayed

• Fixed an issue where having Hold M1 enabled or Input Buffering Disabled would let you swing way faster than intended
• Fixed being able to break your own Flame Sentinel

June 6th, 2024[]

Content & Systems
• New Lightning Mantra: Emotion Wave ★★★
• New Chime Arena
• New Rare Event: Supply the Diver Expedition
• Mobs can now have multiple drop tables, meaning that you'll have a separate chance of getting a drop from each table. Some of these tables may have a 100% chance, in which case the Mob will always drop something from that table. This lets us make it so that a mob dropping a common drop doesn't prevent it dropping something cool and rare. Lootskipper works on each of these tables separately. TL;DR Mobs can now drop multiple things at once
• Bloodletter is now base behavior. This means that all characters can hit unconscious bodies to drain their Blood rapidly. If you had Bloodletter before, you'll get a free hand of talents
• The ingame map can now be zoomed and panned
• Quest Markers now show up on your map
• Your Guild Base now shows up on your map
• Your Origin is now displayed on your character slot in the main menu
• Added a short cutscene on your first time to the Depths to clue new players into the Cathedral Trial

Guild Leaderboards
• Added Guild Leaderboards: PvE, PvP, and Overall

• Clearing dungeons and defeating bosses will reward your Guild with PvE points
• Your Overall score is a combination of your PvP and PvE scores
• You can view a Guild's scores by clicking their icon on the leaderboard, and the Top 250 Guilds will have their Overall Rank displayed on the playerlist
• Guild Leaderboards reset every month much like Chime of Conflict
• Weekends give 2x Guild Score!

Balancing & Tweaks
• Legendary Resonances now have a pity system where if you go 100 hands without seeing a Legendary, you're guaranteed one in your next hand. This is tracked per slot, so if you wipe the slot the pity counter isn't erased
• You can now be uncrouched while in Tacet briefly without it dissipating. This lets you utilise parkour or otherwise engage your targets while still hidden. Sprinting will make your Tacet dissipate twice as quickly. However, dealing damage or M1'ing will instantly break your Tacet
• The 'Revolver' weapon has been renamed to 'Repeater' (this is not what a revolver looks like)
• Swing speed now actually functions as a stat for Gun Shots, affecting their rate of fire. This also means that buffs and debuffs for swing speed now apply to Gun Shots
• Revolver swing speed reduced (1x -> 0.85x), Divine Flintlock swing speed reduced (1.3x -> 0.9x). Since swing speed on guns didn't really mean much before this shouldn't be much of a nerf• Free-join Faction Guilds (The Divers, The Knives of Eylis) no longer get guild score. May change if the way scoring works is changed, but with the current system it's just kinda rigged
• Gun M1's can now be imbued with wind by Maestro's Blade
• Dual Guns can now hold M2 before an M1 to feint like other weapons
• Air Counter and Vanishing Wraith now work with guns
• Dimensional Travel now always places you on solid ground instead of dropping you through a canopy to your death
• Dimensional Travel now alerts you if warping back would get you stuck in a wall
• Unbidden now removes 30% of your posture on proc
• Elastic proc lasts slightly longer (0.8s -> 0.9s) and pulls slightly more strongly
• Bloodletter now scales with damage more, making it slightly less effective with multihits, but much more effective with singular large damage hits
• Spine Cutter now has a range limit
• Increased Alloyed Dawnshot swing speed (0.78x -> 0.8x)
• Reduced Length on Alloyed Whaling Knife, Canor Fang, Cerulean Thread, Divine Dagger, Flareblood Kamas, Gilded Knife, Krulian Knife, Kyrsedge, Nemit's Sickle, Silver Dagger, Stiletto, Whaling Knife (6.5 -> 6)
• Reduced Length on Alloyed Tanto, Tanto, Central Dirk (7 -> 6.5)

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Aerial M1's with your offhand gun are now correctly flipped instead of it awkwardly shooting behind you
• Gun Aerials are now properly treated as aerials and are countered by uppercuts
• Fixed Engage proccing on criticals (not intended)
• Fixed Gun movestacks on running m1's
• Fixed Guns not being able to do an Aerial on their 3rd M1 (the kick)
• Clicking Cancel when picking a Ring to replace no longer gives you an error message
• Fixed Primadon needing a larger offering on his first summoning in a server
• Fixed projectile bullets hitting into invisible walls or walkthrough objects
• Fixed getting stuck crouching/sliding
(p.s. 2x chests until monday)

Note: How Guilds are ranked and the values of scoring will likely change from month to month.

Patch 1.8.0[]

• Fixed some issues with the Diver event
• Fixed some bugs with the patch
• Player Kills now give much more Guild Score. Minimum Power for Guild Score Kills is now 18
• Reduced guild score from Diluvian clears (10 -> 5)

• Reduced Overworld boss guild score reward (5 -> 3)

• Free-join Faction Guilds (The Divers, The Knives of Eylis) no longer get guild score. May change if the way scoring works is changed, but with the current system it's just kinda rigged

May 30th, 2024[]

Early patch this week! Patch days might arrive at slightly different times in the leadup to us shipping Conquest, but should only be earlier than usual, not later.

Content & Systems
• New Lightning Mantra: Fleeting Sparks ★
• New Fire Mantra: Flare Volley ★★
• New Fleeting Sparks Spark: Multiplying
• New Fleeting Sparks Spark: Magnet
• New Relic: Armorer's Needle
• New STR Talent: Berserk
• Added Shouts: Typing messages prefixed with ! now lets you communicate with guild mates and allies from anywhere in a server. e.g. "!help at erisia". Typing messages in a Dungeon or in other instanced servers will automatically display to all your teammates
• The game now informs you when you log back in after combat logging, telling you your HP percentage and your cause of death. Note that if you die before fully disconnecting you won't receive this message

Balancing & Tweaks
• As polled for, posture damage from parrying M1's and crits is now based on an average of the attack's posture damage and the defender's weapon's weight value. This means that if a HVY weapon user parries a LHT weapon user, the LHT weapon user will suffer more posture damage than before, and if the opposite happens, the HVY user will suffer less than before. In the existing meta, parrying a LHT user basically did nothing as their attacks barely have any posture damage
• Reduced posture damage on parry by 25%. Unwavering Resolve now reduces parry posture damage by 33% to match up with how much it reduced parry posture damage by before. Basically, those with Unwavering Resolve won't notice any difference, and those without it will get less posture damage from being parried than before
• Base posture return on parry is now capped to be no higher than the parrying user's max posture. Doesn't really affect guardbreaks as their posture damage is tripled after this cap is applied
• Unstoppable Force posture damage on parry reduction decreased (25% -> 15%). This is better than before for those without Unwavering Resolve, but slightly less good for those with Unwavering Resolve. However, the change for averaging out parry posture damage should mitigate this by a fair bit
• Thunder Kick posture scaling with levels reduced. Actually intended as a buff, as it means that at Lv. 5 you don't get as much posture damage from it being parried
• Assassinations can now be parried if the victim is in combat, though the timing is difficult to pull off
• Nemesis crit now deals 18 posture damage consistently instead of scaling with your weapon's posture damage
• Reduced Aggressive Posture LVL req (13 -> 10)
• Maiming Claws duration increased (3s -> 4s)
• Metal Fakeout windup increased (0.5s -> 0.6s)
• Air Counter now requires more height above you to counter enemies. Previously, you could be at the same height as another player and air counter them
• Fixed Assassination movestacks
• Spark Swap with Multiplying Spark is now usable in Chime of Conflict
• Reduced Wyrmtooth crit posture damage
• Increased Twincleave sound indicator volume
• Providence's Thorns proc stack req increased in PvP (2 -> 3)
• Pyre Keeper burn proc on M1 now has a 4s cooldown
• Feinting Twincleave now puts it on CD for 4s
• None Left Behind now has a short CD (4s)
• Coral Spear now cancels on parry
• Having greater than 100% PEN no longer deals extra damage. Unintended
• Iron Tether damage increased and autoparry removed
• Added crit vfx to Wyrmtooth, Cerulean Thread, Kyrsieger crits

Bugfixes & Optimization• Fixed Diluvian• Fixed Burn tick damage bypassing Comeback Kid, Tidekeeper, Immortality, Illusory Realm, Training Vests, Jumper Cables, Run it Back, Flame of Denial, etc.
• Fixed not unlocking your resonance if you knock from burn tick damage and would have passed the bell check otherwise
• Fixed burn tick damage being treated differently to other forms of damage and not counting towards damage contribution
• Further optimizations to player spawning and server memory
• Patched Mantra duping
• Fixed Brutes breaking if their target disappears mid-leap
• Fixed Wyrmtooth crit breaking clones
• Fixed Pyre Cleaver crit breaking clones
• Fixed secondary Cerulean Thread crit not activating
• Fixed Cerulean Thread strings disappearing visually at inconsistent times
• Fixed Caragan missing dialogue about the Lord Regent
• Patched an abuseable strat with Illusory Realm and Spark Swap where you could clip people into the map
• Fixed Ardour not changing weapon swing sounds

Your scaling then increases linearly up to Power 20 as it did before, it just starts off higher. In short, the early game won't be as brutal in terms of your damage scaling against mobs. Since early levels are now slightly less brutal PvE-wise, To1 has been adjusted to retain its difficulty, and the healthpools of certain mobs have also been adjusted
• For a general breakdown, at Power 1 your PvE scaling will be similar to Power 5 previously. At Power 5, your PvE scaling will be similar to Power 8 previously. At Power 10, your PvE scaling will be similar to Power 12 previously. At Power 15, you'll have scaling similar to Power 16 previously. Finally, Power 20 is unchanged.
• Increased base PvE scaling slightly (should give you about +10% more damage with non-mantra attacks in PvE)
• Reduced additional PvE scaling buff on Mantras. Since the base PvE scaling was increased, this shouldn't be too huge of a reduction
• Fixed not having PvE scaling for attacks where you have a 0 in the stat it scales with. e.g. if you had Dread Breath with 0 Frostdraw, it had no PvE scaling
• Reduced Corrupt mob HP multiplier (3x -> 2.5x)

Balancing & Tweaks
• The Auto-Restore system for disconnecting during PvE has been improved and should account for dc's a lot more consistently. Should hopefully fix the issue of 'lingering' ingame when you dc, where visually you're above 60% but on the server you dip below 60% due to lingering ingame
• Lingering block frames after parrying have been added back
• Lingering block frames after parrying are now removed when you roll to prevent being guardbroken mid-roll
• Ping Compensation no longer kicks in until you have 70ms or higher Ping, and the maximum compensation delay has been reduced (0.1s -> 0.06s). This should make the effects of Ping Compensation a lot more subtle, and make handling players using Ping Compensation a lot more consistent
• Wyvern's Claw damage multiplier is now 5% for Mantras. Other attacks still have a +10% multiplier
• Reduced maximum Dread Stacks damage multiplier (+15% -> +10%)
• Vengeful Pursuit now has mouse tracking against targets with their backs to you. Vengeful Pursuit now procs Bear Trap if you have the talent
• Increased Safety Dance bonus (+0.03s -> +0.05s), increased AGL req (15 -> 20). Removed LVL req
• Railblade is no longer a LW and can now be enchanted. Back when it dropped, weapons having unique and complex criticals was seen as more of a big deal, but with the variety of weapons at the moment this isn't the case. Railblade CD reverted back to 9s, damage nerfed slightly

• Alloyed Shotel chip increased (15% -> 30%)
• Alloyed Steel Maul swing speed increased (0.6x -> 0.64x)

• Flareblood Kamas critical windup increased slightly
• Karita Leap CD increased (8s -> 10s), now has a sound cue on activation
• Karita Leap now stops on parry
• Fixed Astral Wind sending you upwards on parry. Should now cancel on parry
• Fixed Crescent Cleaver/Kyrscleave crit not confirming on blockbreak
• Cerulean Thread LHT scaling reduced (9 -> 8.5), endlag increased (0.04s -> 0.05s)
• Fixed lingering hit frames on Cerulean Thread crit
• Cerulean Thread crit now has slight endlag (0.1s)
• Increased windup on Cerulean Thread 2nd crit (0.35s -> 0.4s)
• Night Axe chip increased (60% -> 80%), swing speed reduced (0.59x -> 0.58x)
• Fixed Flame Blind working against Blind players
• Fixed Gaze working against Blind players
• Adjudicator Coats now grant Unwavering Resolve. Formerly granted Hardened Nerves, but this was removed as a talent a few months ago
• Flame Within, Lose Your Mind, Jumpstart, and Raging Static now list their damage multipliers in their card descriptions
• Reduced Repair Hammer CD (1s -> 0.2s)
• Increased Repair Hammer speed, but made it interruptible

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed Corrupted Teleportation bell overly favoring the preset waypoints over user-created ones
• Fixed Stormbreaker hiding your weapon after being returned
• Fixed Ardour Manifestation. No longer consumes the tool if it wasn't able to summon the Dread Serpent for some reason
• Having new mantras and joining old servers that don't support them yet is now handled more reasonably
• Optimized a lot of status effect checks
• Fixed data slots not always displaying the correct location. Clicking on a data slot should fix it
• Fixed data slots not updating with corrected info if you returned to the slot select screen
• Fixed some inconsistent behavior with banking
• Fixed Hair Dye being inaccurate when applied
• Fixed Treasure items like Amethysts, Gold Bars, etc. being lumped into the Relic category
• Fixed being prompted with the Treefelling Blow quest as a Silentheart
• Added an extra wave sampling point for ships so they should rock less dramatically. Should make larger vessels especially a lot more stable
• Fixed a memory leak with the Jetstriker aura

• Posture damage/gain from parrying a guard break reduced
• Reduced Railblade crit damage further

March 8th, 2024[]

Content & Systems

Balancing & Tweaks
• M1 hitboxes now have some lag compensation by being positioned slightly further out if you're walking forwards and being positioned slightly back if you're walking backwards. This should reward aggression and punish S holding, as before this update holding S would often have your hitbox hit further forwards than your visible range due to lag
• You no longer get Tempo back from hitting enemies at long range, only at close range. This applies to M1's, Criticals, and Mantras. Your enemies will still get Tempo from being hit by you at long range. This should punish builds that spam attacks at a distance by making the playstyle less sustainable and more vulnerable to rushdown
• As polled, Elemental Rebound is now innate. You now receive Tempo back from landing Mantras in general, not just elemental mantras. Tempo gain from landing Mantras has been reduced slightly
• As polled, Rifles and Dual Pistols no longer shoot projectile bullets on their M1s. 1H pistols still do

• Humanoid mobs can now parry ranged attacks. Blindspotting a humanoid mob with a ranged attack will prevent them reacting

Content & Systems

Oath Removal
• You can now remove any Oath with Yun'Shul. Doing so will remove all of its abilities and passives, and will recall any mantras that are over your new slot cap, but will enable you to seek out other Oaths. Once you've broken an Oath, you'll be branded as an Oathbreaker. Some Oaths will be permanently barred to you on a character if you break them. You may also suffer other repercussions for breaking your Oath, so beware
• Yun'Shul wish CD has been reset

Balancing & Tweaks
• Combat Log Leniency for PvE deaths has been made even more lenient (75% HP -> 60% HP), meaning that if you disconnect while in PvE while above 60% HP it won't count as a combat log
• Reduced a secondary requirement for getting Resonance. Held back players that were getting their bell faster than expected
• Chaining horizontal mobility moves in quick succession will now reduce their horizontal mobility. This debuff is not applied if your move hits an enemy.

• Slide cooldown on parry stun increased (0.4s -> 0.5s)
• Max Momentum Konga's Clutch Ring slides are no longer counterintuitively slower than base momentum Konga slides

• Fixed the Birdcage Quest not resetting

Note that if you have any sources of PvP damage or combat tags from non-PvE sources (e.g. boss fight tags) this will not apply and you'll still die, so we wouldn't recommend pushing your luck and intentionally logging. Should help with a lot of cases of players dc'ing and losing progress

Tempo/Erudition Poll Changes
As voted for by the community...
• Base Tempo increased (100 -> 120), Tempo per Erudition point decreased (8 -> 5). As a result, max tempo with 6 eru has been increased slightly (148 -> 150), but 6 Eru shouldn't be the default pick anymore

Conquest Progress Update
Happy new year! Hope y'all had a good holiday season. Conquest work is progressing well - we've just finished doing a pretty big overhaul of the map for it to better suit the gamemode. The previous version was honestly too big and would have led to some agonisingly long travel between objectives. Some of you might be happy to know that it no longer has smooth terrain. A lot of the gamemode's mechanics are now finished, we just need to do a bit of grinding on the in-match progression mechanics and then it should hopefully be ready for private testing soon.

To get Conquest into your hands ASAP, we're thinking of doing a public testing period soon like we did with Battle Royale, where a casual version of the gamemode that's slightly rougher around the edges will be available first before releasing fully with the fully-polished competitive gamemode that has unique rewards. Plans are subject to change though, and if we think we can get the polished competitive version out sooner anyway we'd skip the testing phase.

Content & Systems

• Added Item Banks: Head to a Banker to deposit and withdraw items across all of your slots. Your banked items are stored account-wide for as long as you need.

Simply drag and drop tools into the slots to deposit them. Additional slots for your bank can be purchased with Notes

December 22nd, 2023[]

Happy holidays! We've been grinding away on conquest, so a lot of the patch notes this week are to help prep for it, including some pretty big performance improvements to the game

Content & Systems
• All chests are now Kyrsmas Presents for the next 2 weeks. For the duration of this event, chests are double as big, dropping double the loot!
• New Ice Mantra: Ice Carve ★★

Optimization
• Greatly optimized server-side anti-cheat. Had a BIG impact on performance so this should be a noticeable improvement
• Greatly optimized mob allegiance handling. Was a surprisingly big performance bottleneck so should see some nice performance returns
• Optimized humanoid mob status effect handling further

Balancing & Tweaks
• Parry stun is now based off the swing speed difference between you and your target, instead of which weapon classes you and your target are using. Fighting against enemies with similar swingspeeds will be the same as before, but you will find that medium weapons stun light weapons for slightly longer on average. There are caps so outliers like the Hivelord's Hubris will behave exactly the same as before. This change should generally mean that the lower swingspeed weapons in a class have been buffed
• M1 input buffering now applies when you M1 during parry stun, making the return swing delay after being parried much more consistent. This was one of the main advantages of using a macro, so this should level the playing field a lot

• Shrine of Division cap raised by 1 to account for Kelsius quest

• All the Dead Gods now scales with investment up to its requirement, so if you have less WLL/INT than the req it procs less antiheal the lower your WLL/INT is. The antiheal proc still prevents passive regen
• Alloyblood now scales with investment up to its requirement, so if you have less MTL than the req it gives less bleed & blood loss reduction
• Reinforced Armor now scales with investment up to its requirement, with 65 FTD giving 20% PEN reduction and scaling up to the full 40% reduction once you hit 90 FTD
• Collapsed Lung duration now scales with investment up to its requirement, with 75 STR lasting 2s and scaling up to the full 3s with 100 STR
• Ice Fissure explosion windup decreased 1s > 0.35s, In exchange, the ice pillars can now be destroyed with 1-2 M1's worth of damage

• Magnet Electro Carve CD increased (25s -> 30s)

Bugfixes
• Fixed M1 input buffering occasionally buffering through mantras and causing you to M1 after the mantra is done. Only happened for very low windup mantras like Burning Servants
• Fixed getting multiple Poser's Rings from Zana quest. Poser's Rings are now weightless and duplicate rings are automatically deleted
• Fixed Maestro's Blade, Jolt Cast, Eureka, Legendary
• Corrected color on some Galebreathe abilities with Haunted Path
• Fixed Karita Leap preventing you from passing through certain areas
• Fixed a memory leak with Ceaseless Slashes
• Fixed a bug with Ceaseless Slashes where you could get stuck in place

Mob Mantra Overhaul
• With a background overhaul of how the mantra system works, mobs can now use the same mantras players do. This means that they won't be limited to an awkward buggy selection of a few outdated moves, and can be set up to use the same things players do. This also means that when mantras get balanced for players, they get balanced for mobs too
• Most human mobs in the game have been given a much greater selection of mantras to use
• Pre-existing mobs with mantras have now had their mantras updated to the player versions with the above change
• Human Mobs now use mantras at a more consistent frequency and obey the actual CD's of their mantras instead of having a generic CD for all their mantras
• Mantras all now have metadata attached for ideal ranges so that mobs shouldn't just throw them out when they wouldn't ever conceivably hit

Content & Systems

• As polled for, shield weight now grants the shield's weight as a flat posture bonus while equipped, instead of dividing incoming posture damage by the weight value. Thanks for voting!
• Shields have less of a reduction to the posture you get back from parrying someone to make up for them generally granting less of a posture buff (80% -> 40%)
• Critical Attack's posture reduction is no longer decreased when wielding a shield

• New Wind Talent: Apparitions
• New Wind Talent: Phantom Step

Base Combat Improvements
• As voted on in polls, assassination has now been reworked. Instead of ragdolling enemies for a few seconds on assassinating them, you now deal a flat 15% of their HP as true damage and kick them away. Damage against mobs has not been changed, and is still capable of instakilling them
• Added M1 input buffering. Clicking at the very end of M1 endlag now queues up an M1 input to happen as soon as the endlag is over. This effectively lets everyone play at a similar speed to macroers
• Roll-cancelling now removes your roll CD and lets you immediately roll again like Tap Dancer, but places your second roll on a longer cooldown (+0.5s). Tap Dancer's functionality is now to remove that longer second roll cooldown. This keeps Tap Dancer identical to how it was before, but makes base roll behavior closer in line with it so that Tap Dancer isn't such a mandatory talent
• Reduced M1 feint endlag (0.25s -> 0.2s)

Content & Systems

• Hidden Blade has been deleted. If you had Hidden Blade, you'll get a hand of talents refunded on your next level up or when you spawn at Power 20

November 3rd, 2023[]

Hallowtide Week 2

• Hallowtide '22 Medal added, letting you redeem items from last year's event at any point in exchange for Knowledge. Available at a discount, also an account-wide unlock
• Less Gourdskippers spawn during the trial to help reduce lag, but their HP has been increased to 3 hits again to account for this. Player Gourdskippers still go down in 2

• New Rare Metal Talent: Masterwork
• New Advanced Metal Talent: Reshape and Remold

Content & Systems

• Pumpkin Pitch reworked; now acts as a low CD mantra that can be rapidly fired, but subsequent uses will increase the ether cost for each throw

Balancing & Tweaks
• Using a Mantra now cancels your ledge hang. Fixes some noclip glitches
• Controlled Combustion now prevents All-Consuming Flame from proccing on allies
• Sheathing your sword and activating Poser's Ring now cancels current mantra windups. Fixes some movestacks
• Certain moves with high knockback like Strong Left now knock people out of uppercut combos and send them flying
• Reduced Posture Buffs on Rings (+2 pips -> +1 pips, +1 pips -> +0.5 pips)
• Nerfed incoming posture damage reduction on Ardour (25% -> 15%)

• Ring posture nerf reverted as it was rerolling ring stats to stuff that wasn't posture. Will likely return once there's a system to downgrade buffs to buffs of the same type

October 27th, 2023[]

Hallowtide Event
Hallowtide has swept across the Luminants and is here to stay for the next 2 weeks! Seek out the legendary Floating Keep of the Spellhardt family to get started...
• Test your will to survive in the new Trial of the Gourdskipper; with unique prizes and a generous reward of Joy to spend on Hallowtide items, can you defeat the Curse?
• 3 New Unique Weapons can be obtained. The 3 new weapons will be receiving unique criticals in next week's update
• New Unique Cosmetics have been added, some available in the shop, and some not
• A new track "A Darkness Beneath" has been composed for the event by Naktigonis
• All of the rewards and event from last year have returned too, so if you missed out last year you can experience it now!
• And even more coming next week!

Content & Systems
• New Ice Mantra: Rising Frost ★★
• The Guy is now voiced
• Dialogue now auto-scrolls and gradually extends the scrollbar instead of having loads of whitespace
• Commas, question marks, and exclamation marks are now allowed in Mantra Names
• Frozone is now base behavior for Ice Skate. If you had Frozone, you'll get a hand of talents refunded on your next level up or when you spawn at Power 20

Balancing & Tweaks
• M1's now cancel your parried anim, fixing a lot of animation hiding, especially on rifles
• The parried animation now matches your parry stun duration in length. Should fix some animation hiding and provide better feedback
• Deferred no longer procs on those you've assassinated but will still grant a +5% damage mod like it does with Poser's Ring. This is to fix it bypassing the assassination damage cap
• Firmly Planted no longer reduces the slow effect on parry stun, and won't reduce your slow during a Mantra's duration. This brings it in line with Firmly Planted not reducing stun while you're M1'ing or using your crit
• Increased CD on Thunder Kick (8s -> 12s), bit too spammable for a guard break
• Strong Left and Eclipse Kick no longer share a cooldown
• Tornado and Metal Eruption no longer share a cooldown
• Lightning Impact and Gale Punch no longer share a cooldown
• Sea travel using Ice Skate now brings you closer to the water's surface and the vfx for generating struts only displays when you're airborne
• Reduced base speed and increased descent speed due to gravity on Ice Skate
• Upgrading Ice Skate now reduces its descent speed. Lvl 5 will bring you back to about what the descent speed was previously
• Greater Ice intensity is now required to freeze objects solid
• Reduced environmental intensity of some ice abilities like Ice Fissure but increased the size of ice surfaces in general. As a reminder, environmental intensity is how much the ability affects the environment, i.e. creating bigger ice surfaces, freezing bigger things solid, etc.
• Water now freezes more quickly than land
• Added a Mystic prompt for Metallurgist class, moved some Metallurgist talents over to the Ironsinger class
• Minor VA tweaks

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed a bug with the Quest system where quest markers could be above the wrong NPC's
• Fixed a bug with dual and offhand guns where feinting a gun would move the gun 'swing counter' forward by 2 instead of 1, causing you to flourish far sooner in your combo when feinting
• Fixed offhand guns forcing flourishes on non-gun weapons when feinted rapidly enough. Since flourishes have a set speed, this made certain heavy weapons appear to swing ridiculously fast
• Fixed being able to feint after guns visibly fire
• Fixed being able to go underwater using Ice Skate
• Parrying daggers no longer roll quality stars since the buffs don't actually do anything when wielded in your off-hand
• Fixed a bug that meant that if someone had "dragon" in their username, Ardour Manifestation would not spawn the dread serpent in that server. Their draconic blood will no longer hold back the tides of dread
• Removed complex pathfinding from a few mobs that don't need it. Should improve performance by a good amount
• Fixed weird particles on Ice Skate
• Exiting Dimensional Travel at sea no longer drops you into the sky
• Fixed Stormseye crit clipping you through walls

• Fixed being able to enter in-progress trials through some portals
• Portals now have an indicator for when they can be accessed

Patch 1.4.7c[]

• Fixed terrible aiming on the pumpkin throwing

Patch 1.4.7d[]

• Fixed Gourdskippers dying in one hit after the first round
• Fixed waves loot being way better than intended. Consider it an early bird bonus

Patch 1.4.7e[]

• Made Gourdskippers die in 2 hits
• Buffed the loot up (overnerfed it)

Patch 1.4.7f[]

• The Eastern Luminant has now been Hallowtide-ified, now letting you access both the Trial of the Gourdskipper and the Floating Keep there

Patch 1.4.7g[]

• Fixed some memory leaks with the Gourdskipper Trial. Should help a lot with the poor performance from the event
• Optimized the Pumpkin Pitch projectiles
• Filled in a lot of the cheese spots and made it harder to get stuck under the Gourdskipper map

October 20th, 2023[]


Content & Systems
• Light's Final Toll Critical(s) added
• The Ferryman is now an instanced boss, taking you to an instanced version of Boatman's Watch once the ritual is completed
• Added a Quest system that will be able to track current objectives for quests and otherwise. Currently only supported for the quest in the following patch note but in subsequent patches we'll configure more quests to use this new system. More QoL also planned like being able to hide them instead of quitting them, and being able to view them at a campfire
• Added a tutorial quest for new players that runs through buying a dinghy and sailing to Erisia. Easy to quit out of and mostly just guides new players through the early game loop
• Flaming Uppercut has been merged into Flaming Flourish. If you had Flaming Uppercut, you'll get a hand of talents refunded on your next level up or when you spawn at Power 20
• Hovering over classes in your Talent list now shows you the Mystic prompt for it. Credit to xLCJordanx for the suggestion
• Rank changes in guilds should now show up immediately on the player list
• 🗣️ added. More soon

Balancing & Tweaks
• Doubled the range at which bullets don't incur parry stun for the user. This means they have to be further away to not get parry stunned if you parry their bullets
• Projectile bullets are no longer shot if the initial blast from a gun M1 is parried
• Projectile bullets no longer proc enchants if the initial blast hit. Made stack-based enchants a little crazy
• Casting a Mantra now cancels your roll, similar to how M1'ing cancels your roll. Should fix some anim hiding
• Having your uppercut dodged or blocked no longer counts as not whiffing and will give you endlag properly
• Cooldown on Ferryman has been greatly reduced (20m -> 15s). No more server hopping to fight him
• Ferryman lightning clones now last much longer and don't immediately disappear
• Hitting a wall no longer makes Ferryman's Lightning Assault hit several times instantly, and he instead bounces off walls if necessary
• Fixed Ferryman Javelin movestack
• Fixed a bug causing Arc Beam and other dual-element attacks to have exponential PvE power scaling. Since this was something relied upon, Arc Beam now has a 2x PvE power scaling multiplier to make up for it somewhat. Previously it was doing close to 10x what it should have been doing
• Fixed Gathering Electricity causing weapons with elemental damage to scale with both elements. If it's an elemental weapon, it'll only scale with that element and not with lightning
• Increased Arc Beam base damage (15 -> 20)
• Fixed Arc Wave not having PvE scaling
• Self-damage no longer clears Perfection stacks. Fall damage still will
• Mantras can no longer be 'Legendary' rarity, only 'Rare'. i.e. mantras like Lightning Cloak, Ice Skate are less rare now
• Ice Spike Traps trigger is now a distinct model and more visible
• You can no longer roll the Simple flaw at the Shrine of Order
• Added a windup sound to Thunder Kick to better telegraph it
• Fixed Stormseye crit dealing no posture damage
• The 3th hit in Stormseye crit now procs Shock/Surge
• Storm Link no longer procs Shock/Surge. The Shock proc was too short (0.25s) to be actually do much for Shock players and the Surge proc was way too generous. Still deals lightning damage
• Electro Carve now moves with you
• Reduced endlag after Burning Servants summon (0.4s -> 0.1s)
• Doubled damage on Rising Flame. Did half the damage as intended
• Reduced Sightless Beam posture damage
• Reduced damage multiplier on Hero's Blade of Shadow crit (2x -> 1.5x), reduced ether drain
• Hero's Blade of Ice crit now ends early when parried, but damage has been increased
• Hero's Blade of Wind crit second hit no longer guaranteed blockbreaks, instead deals heavy posture damage
• Reduced Hero's Blade of Flame crit range
• Obfuscation chip damage bonus now depends on weapon type. Heavy Weapons (+50%, unchanged), Medium Weapons (+35%), Light weapons (+25%)
• Black Diver WLL req reduced (20 -> 10)
• Reduced Shattered Katana MED req (100 -> 90)
• Blood Shadow drain now scales with Shadowcast
• Orbital Ice damage resistance reduced (25% -> 15%). Brings it in line with Fists of Fortitude's resistance
• Fixed Orbital Ice granting resistance against some sources of damage that aren't Physical
• Arc Suit no longer gives your Orbital Ice extra durability (as in how much damage it can take before breaking)
• Removed the net at the top of the Guild Training Hall and removed the collisions on the hanging lanterns. Should make it less vertically constrained
• Reduced fog density in a lot of locations now that we have LoD impostors
• Brightened up the default atmosphere

Guild Bugfixes
• Overhauled Guild data handling to add more rigorous checks and ensure that data is kept up to date between servers without things being overwritten. Should hopefully fix a lot of issues with leaders being inconsistent between servers or people suddenly losing leadership/guild base rooms
• Fixed a long-standing issue where if you joined the game at the same time as a guildmate your guild membership and rank wouldn't be registered properly visually and in some cases mechanically
• Added failsafes to prevent guild leaders being exiled if their rank hasn't loaded properly ingame. Hopefully leadership should always load properly now but it's good to have more failsafes

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Patched a bug with mantra cooldowns where you could recast certain mantras immediately by casting another mantra
• Fixed Arc Beam, Lightning Assault, Lightning Stream, Storm Cage, Lightning Impact, Arc Wave, and Thunder Kick not stunning opponents if you have Surge Path
• Fixed a bug with Ice Hero Blade crit where if you're stunned the crit will keep going until you're not stunned
• Fixed an issue where you couldn't re-vow someone after breaking your vow with them
• Fixed feinting Storm Cage not properly removing the cage
• Fixed the tutorial still mentioning reservoir
• Fixed a few docks showing up across the entire sea as PoI's instead of while in their respective areas
• Fixed Self-Conducting Loop not being blurple with Surge Path
• Fixed Jolt Grab being blurple without Surge Path
• Added a short cooldown between long-distance teleports and being able to use long-distance teleport abilities like Dimensional Travel. Should help avoid some bugs

*3rd. 3th gettin a little too creative

• Burning Servants Fan the Flames size buff now has a cap

• Fixed Quest markers not disappearing if you quit a Quest

• Fixed PvE scaling on Fire Gun being close to non-existent

Patch 1.4.6a[]

• Raised size scaling on Burning Servants and increased the cap on both base and Fan the Flames. Was worse than intended

• After this final test, Battle Royale will return as a semi-regular event accompanying weekly patches, likely on alternating weekends (fortnightly...?). Alternating it like this hopefully keeps it fresh and ensures queues are active when the BR event is running. This schedule might change depending on how popular the event is in subsequent weeks, and how active the queues are

• Stormseye & Hero's Blade of Lightning are blurple if you have Surge Path

Balancing
• Lancer's Impale now deals +10% chip damage if the attack it grants bleed to already has bleed applied. Makes it not useless if you have bleed from other sources
• Electro Carve now procs Shock on hit
• Rising Thunder and Rising Flame no longer share a cd. Reworked the shared CD system to be less of a pitfall when adding new mantras
• Greatly reduced Sinister Halo posture damage
• Silversix can now be reloaded up to 6 rounds like the name suggests
• Shock particles now match the duration of the Shock status
• Fixed Metal Rods disappearing visually before the stack has

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Improved server startup times and reduced Server Memory footprint by not keeping redundant files from initial server loading
• Removed some unnecessary client handshakes from a lot of Mantras that made their windups vary a lot with lag

• Fixed gun bullet and Ice Lasers projectiles not working in water

Patch 1.4.5a[]

Content & Systems

• New Metal Talent: Metal Eater
• New Metal Talent: Metal Absorption
• New Metal Talent: Metal Thief

Battle Royale Test: Duos
• Battle Royale testing returns with Duos. During this weekend, use the Chime of Conflict to access BR duos, teaming up with a friend or a stranger to survive and become the last two standing
• In Duos testing, you can't spectate anyone other than your teammate to prevent teaming and info-sharing. If you team up with a stranger and neither of you leave early, you'll be queued together in subsequent matches, too. Callout is now a base talent in BR, so hit Z to ping things for your teammates
• BR storm damage has been reduced. You can opt to dual-wield guns you pick up in BR now. Flimsy Gliders now auto-deploy when you're about to hit the ground

Content & Systems

• You can now fire cannons from the steering wheel of your ship. The closest unoccupied cannon to your target will fire wherever you click while at the wheel
• Resonant Meteor Guardians can now drop Astral Enchant Stones
• Added 'Auto Activation' for activated talents like Flame Within, Hair Products, Capra Marks, Kickstart, etc. Selecting them will automatically activate them without unequipping your current tool, like how mantras work.

• Auto Activation items and abilities now have a different border to them to make them easier to pick out
• Elemental Mantras now have an indicator for their element in your inventory/hotbar. Also makes it easier to see which are on cooldown at a glance
• Hair Products has been split into Hair Products and Hair Spray. Hair Products is how you select the sprays, Hair Spray is how you apply them. You'll get Hair Spray automatically
• How to Make Friends no longer uses Roblox chat, instead prompting you with a textbox to avoid getting moderated by Roblox for spamming

• Flame Within is no longer extinguished by your own rolling, but has a longer CD (2s->7s). You can use Flame Within again to extinguish the flames
• Fixed Flame Within buff sometimes sticking for longer than the burn tag
• Toned down Ice Fissure environmental freeze to fix it freezing huge map segments
• Wind Gun projectile size increased. Should be a lot easier to hit. Max damage reduced slightly to account for this (52 -> 48)

• Shadow Vortex now wakes up assassinated players
• Shadow Vortex now telegraphs that you're in its radius earlier

• Static Flash Clone damage reduced by about 15%

Bugfixes & Optimization

• Fixed roll dust showing up while in Tacet

• Fixed using Voideye in Dimensional Travel and Illusory Realm
• Fixed Smite orbs becoming invisible after 20 seconds
• Fixed being able to use Dimensional Travel in Duke's Manor
• Fixed Chilling enchant not letting you proc the freeze if you're under the effects of the Chilled status
• Fixed some inconsistencies with Volt Kick

Patch 1.4.3a[]

• Player combat tags against mobs in dungeons no longer have a limited duration, and will last until the mob dies. Should help with calculating contribution

Patch 1.4.3b[]

• Fixed a very obscure bug that has been causing certain types of event to inconsistently spawn since Verse 2 dropped. This includes most forms of 'ambush' event, like surface owls, bandit wagons, faction hunt ambushes, and the Resonant Dawn event. Very awkward bug to find since it never happened in new servers, only older ones. In new servers, you should see a lot more of these events spawning in

(should also mean you see more events on the surface in general too since these non-functional events won't be hogging an event slot for an hour)

Patch 1.4.3c[]

• Fixed BR weapon pools missing LW's and other endgame weapons
• Fixed BR equipment pools having useless rings
• Reduced storm damage more. Added more jump pads

September 22nd, 2023[]

• Mobs that hang back to let their ally fight will now try to block
• Guild Clerks can now give you information on your guild such as the current leader and the treasury balance

Balancing
• Being hit by new enemy players now gives you a large amount of tempo, though less than the tempo you get when a fight starts. Should help in 1vX's
• Reduced 'shaky block' duration. Now matches stun duration. Shaky block is the time after being hit where your block isn't 'ready' yet, but is still up and can block certain attacks. Should make combos slightly more reactable
• Uppercuts now have a fixed range per weapon type, with spears and heavy weapons having a slightly higher uppercut range than other weapon types. Should fix some issues with poorly telegraphed uppercut ranges, e.g. Divine Axe
• Tempo gain from crits now has a longer cd than other moves to account for multihit crits (0.1s -> 0.5s), this cd only applies to getting tempo from a crit, and not to getting tempo from other sources
• Added Relics to Hell Mode lootpool
• Characters now float slightly higher in water to hide their animations less
• Taking Fishman no longer prevents you taking Conditioned Runner and vice versa
• Fixed Brachial Spear having hyperarmor indicators and not being cancellable by stuns, but not having true hyperarmor so the projectile wouldn't actually deal damage if you were stunned. Brachial Spear now has true hyperarmor just before throwing, but the cancellable frames during the windup have been extended to cover more of the windup. This should mostly be a buff in that Brachial Spear will now actually have hyperarmor for the projectile if you reach the throw, but will make it more reactable during the windup
• Smite damage is now true damage like other bells, and isn't resisted by Blunt/Phys armor
• Climb height modifiers are now additive vs. multiplicative. Should only be noticeable when you have a bunch of modifiers stacked
• Ice Cubes now has a slight windup on each cube before it fires. A particle and sound now emit when a cube is fired
• Reduced hitbox size on Frost Grab
• Using Shadow Vortex now destroys any Round Ice Eruption walls the user currently has active so that it's not always a true combo
• Fixed feinting Judgement putting it on an invisible cooldown
• Reduced hardstun frames after Judgement ends without being broken (1s -> 0.75s)
• Fixed Judgement still hardstunning even after successful vent
• Fixed Smite not having PvE scaling
• Increased Ardour Manifestation cap (1 -> 3)
• Alloyed Tanto LHT Scaling reduced (8.5 -> 8)
• Floor is Lava now has a damage cap on its lava pools. Once the cap is hit, the pool will disappear early
• Reduced posture DMG from Lava Serpent eruptions (35 -> 20), no longer a guaranteed guard break
• Reduced tempo gain from Elemental Rebound
• Deep Owls will no longer strike up conversation with you while you're in danger
• Fixed Rocket Lance sharing a CD with Eclipse Kick

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Combat tags with shorter durations no longer cut combat tags with longer durations short. Should help fix some issues with kill contribution
• Fixed some inconsistencies with kill credit. Should help especially with Chaser kill credit
• Fixed Tacet hiding things being inconsistent and not updating for new parts (like weapon equips) like other forms of invisibility
• Fixed some Mobility Mantras (e.g. Wind Passage) not keeping their momentum after cast
• Fixed an issue where if you used a Shrine of Blasphemy too early on a character the level ups would be delayed

• Fixed Brace vfx not matching hyperarmor duration

• Fixed Mobs still pathfinding even when knocked unconscious. Should help with lag
• Fixed Static Flash Clone not hiding dynamic cloth on the user
• Fixed some doors not being interactible
• Fixed initial combat tags on dodging being unreliable and causing issues

• Barbers now save your ID's when you go back to them

Patch 1.4.2a[]

• Fixed Elemental Rebound not working on Crystal
• Fixed Parasitic Leech breaking you if your target suddenly dies

Patch 1.4.2b[]

• Added the Resonant Dawn Meteor's guardian

September 15th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• New Resonance: Preservation
• New Resonance: Smokescreen
• New Resonance: Smite
• Linkstriders can now see the HP bars of their allies
• Vow Masters can now see the HP bars of their subjects and vice versa
• Mobs now have a particle pop up over their heads when they spot an enemy
• Ores on the map now have new models. This also means that depleted ore spots are now visible

Voidwalker & Bounty Changes
• Greatly increased Voidwalker EXP from bounties. Voidwalker Bounty EXP now has a curve that matches your level and the level of your targets
• Reduced Voidwalker EXP from events. Reduced Voidwalker EXP from mob kills and boss fights
• If you have a bounty on someone and contribute to their kill but don't get the kill yourself you now get some EXP proportional to your contribution. Voidwalkers get some attribute training proportional to their contribution too
• Cooldown before other Voidwalkers can start hunting you after one starts hunting you increased (60s -> 180s)
• Voidheart bounties are now based on whether ANY faction with bounty boards has a bounty on your head, representing the contract killing the Knives carry out for other factions. This will mean that you may well end up hunting other Voidwalkers
• Bounty stars now represent ONLY level, and don't increase with negative reputation. 5 stars is now Power 19-20

Major Performance Improvements
• Parallel Mob Brains: Mob 'brains' are now multi-threaded, which should result in some significant performance gains, especially when there's a lot of mobs in a server. Mob brains primarily handle stuff like sight lines and checking for enemies/allies, which are some huge bottlenecks for the game's performance. If you want a technical breakdown, it means that mobs now process things in parallel on the cores of the server's processor, so mobs don't lock up other tasks with their thinking. This should dramatically reduce the load on the server from mobs. It took an extensive overhaul of how the mob backend works, but hopefully there shouldn't be too many issues with this change
• Optimized Mob line of sight checks
• Greatly optimized Mob handling of Tacet

Balancing
• Tranquil Circle is now a Support mantra
• Bomb cap increased (50 -> 99)
• 1 Iron now produces 20 Bullets (5 -> 20)
• Mindsoothe base range increased (15 -> 25)
• Spark Swap range now scales with health
• Illusory Realm now ends early if you fail to capture anyone in it after 5 seconds
• Illusory Realm now ends early if the user starts resting, or if the user leaves the realm and then runs far enough away from the realm's entrance
• Warrior's Respite will no longer kick in if you have an Illusory Realm active
• Resurrection now lets you see the HP bars of your allies even above 50% HP
• Dimensional Travel peeking now lasts for up to 10 seconds or until you move

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed Miscellaneous talents sometimes not being available via Mystic
• Fixed Voideye and Grasp of Eylis making enemies nearby block
• Fixed the settings toggle on Dynamic Equipment not working
• Fixed Uppercut-created static tether links compatibility with Static Allure
• Fixed ores having miscolored models
• Optimized Resurrection bell (and now linkstriders/vow masters) HP sight handling
• Fixed rigging on Forest Scarf
• Fixed corrupt shard bow proccing two different corruption effects at the same time. Now only procs the white flames

Patch 1.4.1a[]

• Fixed Strength Unbound door not being smashable enough
• Fixed Lightning Strike
• Fixed Smite sometimes firing shortly after it's ended

September 8th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• New Metal Mantra: Metal Wisp ★★
• New Shadow Mantra: Shade Wisp ★★
• Dynamic Cloth simulation now has collision detection and no longer clips through your character (thanks to Crab_Wrangler for help with this)

Balancing
• Certain monsters now have Ranged Resistance which reduces the damage from attacks that originate from far away. Using a ranged attack point blank will still deal good damage against them - it's the distance between you and the mob that matters, not the type of attack. Most larger monsters (e.g. Megalodaunts, Bonekeepers, Bounders, Deep Widows, etc.) have this resistance now to some extent, to cover for the fact that they don't block and are easier to hit due to their huge hitboxes. At the moment, the damage reduction starts at 30 studs, scaling to full reduction at 60 studs. Scion doesn't have this resistance. Cannonballs ignore ranged resistances
• Mobs will now block and roll long-ranged attacks
• Summoned clones now have PvE scaling that scales with your level. Illusion clone PvE scaling scales with your Visionshaper progress. Lightning clone PvE scaling scales with the Mantra level
• Fixed Bloodless diminishing returns for additional targets. Bloodless multihit moves are no longer gutted, and the intended behavior of hitting multiple targets giving reduced healing has been fixed. Bloodless CD now kicks in when the total healing from the last 1 second interval hits a threshold instead of when a single damage tick from an attack gives healing above the threshold. This shouldn't be too big of a change in terms of how much healing you actually receive in normal play, but will fix a lot of the cheesy edgecases with hitting crowds of enemies with AoE's to heal up to full instantly
• Raised heal threshold for Bloodless CD. Will take more healing before it goes on CD
• Greatly reduced Bloodless CD (5s -> 1s)
• Riot Breaker posture reduction/gain is now percentage-based instead of flat values
• Made Chain of Perfection vfx more subtle
• Increased Ether cost on Tornado (10 -> 20)
• Increased Ether cost on Fire Gun per shot (7.5 -> 10). Tooltip for cost is now accurate to the cost per shot cycle
• Fixed Charismatic Cast not working on Ironsing mantras that proc bleed
• Chaotic Charm now has a small CD on proc (0.25s) to improve performance when hit by multihits
• Fixed Sightless Beam not dealing posture damage
• Shade Bringer now cancels multiplying spark swings early if the user is parried
• Reduced Storm Cage base duration (15s -> 8s)
• Those about to be pulled into Shadow Vortex are now immune to Storm Cage, letting them escape
• Storm Cage now ends early if the user leaves its radius
• Fixed Flame Wisp heal CD being inconsistent

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Optimized scarves and fixed their cloth rigging not starting high enough to simulate the whole tassel w/ dynamic cloth
• Optimized Sightless Beam
• Fixed Chain of Perfection not working against Ethiron
• Fixed criticals from enchants sometimes carrying over when you switch weapons
• Fixed Frost Wisps not disappearing and giving fall damage reduction
• Fixed a lot of mantras seemingly supporting sparks even though they don't have any functionality. They no longer support these sparks
• Fixed clones being able to execute. Wasn't intentional and led to some weird desync bugs
• Fixed Riot Breaker considering environmental combat tags towards its combat tag quantity requirement
• Guild data is now fetched without cacheing due to a Roblox improvement added recently. This should help prevent data loss
• Fixed a memory leak with character slot info updates
• Fixed a Roblox memory leak with player character respawning
• Corrected some inaccuracies in Ezra's dialogue
• Fixed some cases of invisibility not immediately cleaning up particles

Patch 1.4.0a[]

• New Mythic Relic: Sinner's Ash
• Increased AoE on Frost Wisp flourish beam attack and increased frost proc duration
• Frost Wisp now shoots a beam attack when you vent successfully

Patch 1.4.0b[]

• Fixed essential objects like Chaser Jars/Scion Altars in Dungeons being breakable despite protections. Should fix a lot of softlocks

September 1st, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• New Ice Mantra: Frost Wisp ★★
• Added Relic: Smith's Alloy; A cruder form of the famed Pluripotent Alloy able to increase the Quality of your held weapon, or to reroll the buff on a 3-star weapon
• Added Relic: Idol of Yun'Shul; a ritual idol that can be used to redeem 1 wish from Yun'Shul wherever you are and without any cooldown. A resonance is not required to commune with Yun'Shul in this way
• Rerolling a Corrupted Resonance at Yun'Shul now gives an additional option in your reroll selection which is a corrupted reroll of your current bell. Previously, rerolling a corrupted bell would rarely give you a corrupted variant in your reroll selection. The corruption effect will be rerolled on this new option
• Defeating each of the following mobs for the first time now individually awards 1 Knowledge: Bone Keeper, Enforcer, King Thresher, Blizzard Knight, Mechalodaunt. Existing characters will get this Knowledge the next time they kill them
• Defeating a Corrupted Monster for the first time now awards you with 1 Knowledge
• The first 5 Golden Fish you catch will each award you 1 Knowledge. Existing characters will get this Knowledge the next 5 gold fish they catch

Performance Improvements
A focus this week has been to optimize a lot of the bottlenecks in the game's backend and retopologize some of the more polygon-heavy meshes in the game.
• Greatly optimized Hive Mech/Rogue Mech models, with their complexity reduced by about 88% and greatly improving their performance impact
• Greatly optimized Primadon model, with the complexity reduced by about 86% and greatly improving his performance impact
• Optimized talent/enchant/ring passive handling. Should see some performance improvements in combat, especially for base combat
• Fixed a minor memory leak with reputation handling
• Optimized M1's. Some unnecessary checks were happening
• Optimized reputation and allegiance handling. Will have knock-on effects that improve performance for all mobs

Balancing
• Shrine of Chance no longer increases Knowledge costs when you remove talents more than once
• Greatsword base crit (e.g. Zweihander crit) now blockbreaks on hit like Greataxe & Greathammer crits do
• Improved timings on Hive Mech and Rogue Mech. Impact vfx now shows up on hit instead of being delayed
• Improved timing on Shade Bringer hits
• Eclipse Kick now blockbreaks on hit at Lv. 5
• Fixed Dark Blade not cancelling when parried, forcing you to eat hits
• Flame Wisp healing in combat now scales up to the current healing in combat at Lv. 5, i.e. base flame wisp now gives less healing in combat. Previously, levels only scaled the out-of-combat healing
• Golems and Enforcers no longer hit other Golems and Enforcers respectively with their spin attack (should actually help with lag)
• Increased EXP from mining ores

Bugfixes
• Fixed Hive Mech and Rogue Mech having different timings for the same attacks and other weird deviations in behavior
• Fixed Mantra ingredient animations not playing. Streaming issues meant that even though these were implemented since before release no one ever saw them...
• Fixed Visionshaper clones hitting their owners with Crypt Blade crit
• Fixed NPC's not telling you off for hitting them
• Fixed Illusory Counter giving brief iframes to the attacker
• Fixed mobs that are force-aggro'd like illusory counter clones not always aggroing properly
• Fixed a rare issue with Yun'Shul bell rerolls that could void them
• Clarified Conquer your Fears description
• Fixed scrollbar on rest menu mantra list being nonfunctional

August 25th, 2023[]

Battle Royale Test Weekend: Solos
• The Battle Royale game mode is now available for testing this weekend via the main menu. In case you missed the CC tourney, this is a casual BR styled game mode where you and dozens of other players gather random talents, equipment, and mantras and compete to be the last one standing.
• This weekend's test is just for solo BR, but squads are planned in future.
• No rewards for the BR mode are currently planned, it's just for fun.
• The current plan is for the Battle Royale mode to be available on certain weekends, and for it to be available as a fun event semi-regularly as opposed to a permanent game mode that is continuously updated alongside the main game. We think that continuously updating it would lose a lot of the focus on the main game's content and lengthen development time. We'll be monitoring how things perform and how the game mode is received this weekend to determine our plans for it

Content & Systems
• New Deepbound Ability: Call of the Deep. Allows Deepbound characters to fast travel to the Depths without the need of a Whirlpool

• Improved handling of non-colliding parts with gliding. For example, gliding down through leaves won't interrupt your gliding anymore
• Guild Banners now payout twice as often (1 per min -> 2 per min). Somewhat reduced the number of banners in each map to make them more competitive
• You can now cancel your Barber name change. Doing so won't double-charge you if you try again
Balancing
• Spears and Rapiers now have narrow rectangular hitboxes on their M1's, running M1's, and uppercuts. This makes them a bit better at poking, but removes their tendency to hit to the sides and behind. Crit hitboxes are unchanged
• The threshold for where you start getting multiple waves of mobs in your Depths trials has been raised (you would hit it pretty much instantly after hitting max level), but you will now encounter attuned mobs more often at the highest trial difficulties

• Damage multiplier on 1H guns reduced (20% -> 15%) since there's now talents to make it viable

Patch 1.3.8b[]

• Fixed Yun'Shul dialogue not showing up with 4 shrines (contractor) in new servers

August 18th, 2023[]

• Added 100+ more names • Blood Frenzy has been merged into Time To Go. Reduced base duration of Time To Go (12s -> 10s). Corrected the description on Time To Go - there was never a downside to taking Blood Frenzy, it was just poorly worded. If you had Blood Frenzy, you'll get a hand of talents refunded on your next level up or when you spawn at Power 20

Content & Systems

Loaded pistols will replace your M1 pistol whips with rapid gunshots. Dragoons have a longer melee range when one-handed than other pistols

This also applies to Silentheart moves • PvE Power scaling on M1's has been slightly reduced (about a 5% reduction in damage at Power 20) to account for the buff to mantra/silentheart move damage in PvE
• Damage vs. Monsters buff pips on equipment have been nerfed. Rare DvM pips (2% -> 1%), Leg. DvM pips (5% -> 3%). Intent here isn't to gut DvM builds but to reduce the huge gap between minmaxxed DvM builds and regular builds. With the buffs to mantra damage in PvE you'll probably be doing more damage than before, even with reduced DvM

Dual Gun cycling
• Dual Guns now cycle between each gun on M1 instead of being forced to alternate between M1 & M2
• Dual Guns "Offhand" M1 can now be feinted

Content & Systems
• New Ironsing Talent: Heavy Shoulders
• Added Guild Emblems: you can now customize your very own emblem for your Guild by combining 2 symbols from a selection of 40 (more soon!).

They'll be showing up ingame in more places in future updates

July 24th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• New Oath

Content & Systems
• Being sent down to Layer 2 on death after reaching 15 drowns at max level has been removed. However, every 5 drowns past 15 drowns at max level you'll face a Depths trial with increased difficulty
• Once per character, you can visit a shrine at the Cathedral to activate a Challenge Trial. Beating this harder version of the trial will grant you a free Power increase (similar to To1 levels)
• New Relic: Void Spire; summons the Void in a radius around the spire. This Void will act like a Voidzone for those above Power 15, sending them to the Depths upon death. Players below Power 15 aren't affected at all, and can't summon a Void Spire themselves. Those who are unconscious at the time of the Spire being summoned won't be affected by the Spire's effect. Void Spires cannot be summoned in towns

July 10th, 2023[]

Roadmap Update
• Based on the player poll results, currently the two main projects we're working on are World Events and Conquest
World Events are currently being developed and are the most likely update to drop first. These will be server-wide events in the vein of the Etris Raid event, with every server in a given luminant having the same large scale event starting at the same time. We're thinking there'll be a new world event every hour. World Events won't be exclusively PvE, with some of the events being PvP-based to inject some life into (currently very dry) overworld PvP
Conquest's map is currently in development - once the map is done, programming work will begin on it. Conquest is a new endgame PvP gamemode with large parties facing off against each other for control of a map. Conquest will have similarly tiered rewards to endgame PvE content like Layer 2, and will serve as a way to get Knowledge, endgame gear, and Dyes without PvE. Depending on how long things take, it could drop before or after World Events

• We're planning to run some public tests for the Battle Royale gamemode soon, as we know a lot of you are excited for it. We don't currently think there'll be rewards for it, and it'll likely be a time-limited event that happens over weekends (Fri-Sun) semi-frequently

• In future, we're looking to add the Void Tower Dungeon, and Guild Base Raids
• The Void Tower will be a randomly generated dungeon, with the objective being to climb as many floors as possible and defeat bosses and encounters along the way. We're hoping to give the Void Tower a similar feel to roguelike dungeon delvers like Slay the Spire, Dungeons of Dredmor, BoI, Hades, etc. You'll be able to run it solo or with friends
Guild Base Raids are as described before. Based on the poll results this update isn't as big of a priority, but we'd still love to see it

• New Oaths, Origins, Talents, Mantras, etc. are still in development as always and will either drop alongside these larger updates or in weekly updates

• Our current plan is to drop these large updates one by one as they don't depend on each other, instead of bundling them all together into a huge update. This should mean that you'll see these updates sooner

Content & Systems
• Added Gran Sudaruska Unique Critical
• Added Mythic Equipment: Delver's Duster
• Added Pristine Lotuses. Those seeking to perform the ritual to become a Linkstrider will find these as a more convenient alternative to dragging players all the way to the catalyst
• Added Beatra, a pleasant old lady in the East Luminant with a thing or two to teach about Shadow
• Selling Legendary Weapons now has a confirm prompt so you can't sell them by accident
• Successfully defeating a Voidwalker on a hunt will give you a chest reward and a good amount of EXP regardless of if you're the Voidwalker's target or not. Other Voidwalkers can't claim this reward. This should reduce the number of fleeing targets from the Voidwalker perspective, and make defending against Voidwalker hunts more worthwhile for other players
• To1 now brings down the campfire at the start for attunementless players in order to spend their spare points from attunementless. This means that attunementless players won't end up with a different amount of free points from To1 compared to attunement players

Balancing
• You will no longer instantly kill allied enemies with Lethal Precision
• Illusion Counter now spawns a clone for a brief duration as opposed to reflecting status effects back
• Dark Receiver requirements lowered (SDW: 50 -> 40, LTN: 60 -> 40)
• Cyclone Blade chip damage buffed to 10%
• Parried bullet projectiles now proc parry stun on the attacker if they're close to their target
• Shared Misery no longer procs on parried/dodged attacks
• Fixed Obfuscation proccing on Mani Katti where other enchants don't
• Fixed Ring of Casters reducing damage of non-melee attacks that aren't mantras
• Heavenly Wind aerial move cooldown after feinting now ends early if you hit the ground

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed a longstanding issue where the free block frames after a parry attempt were ignored by a lot of moves that are meant to be blockable. This is what was causing Rising Thunder to seemingly ignore blocking. You would block the initial damage but any special effects like grab move followups would still go through. This bug didn't apply with held blocks, just when you'd tap F to parry (big thanks to Agamatsu for figuring this one out)
• Optimized carbuncle models considerably, should help with the frame lag they generate
• Fixed W rank green name on leaderboard not being consistent
• Fixed Chaser fight falling stalactites having collisions even after disappearing
• Fixed Mantra trainer dialogue all talking about fire spitting embers instead of their element-specific lines
• Fixed Vigils Pathfinder Cloak shop
• Fixed Freezing Wight not proccing crystals
• Fixed being able to proc multiple meteor impacts on certain aerial attacks
• Fixed East Luminant spawn being set inconsistently during character creation for certain origins. Voidwalker now consistently sets your default spawn in East Luminant to the Voidheart
• Fixed players outside the Duke arena being teleported inconsistently
• Fixed needing to talk to the Ferryman to get the Ferryman defeat triumph
• Fixed trading with Laplace not giving you the Soulbound triumph
• Fixed not getting the Pluripotent Alloy triumph if you die or teleport during the Alloying process
• Fixed a Pluripotent Alloy dupe
• Fixed not being able to set your spawn at Eylis

Arthur / Jessamine Rewards
You no longer get 3 extra talent hands for your build by talking to Arthur and Jessamine after obtaining their talents through echoes. This was actually unintentional, but since it has given players additional talents, we figured we'd work it into the game in a less awkward way. As such, this has been replaced with a new system:
• By doing any of the Curiosity themed quests you get a talent hand once per character. e.g. Suyuan, Ploom, etc.
• By doing any of the Bravery themed quests you get a talent hand once per character. e.g. Arthur, Jessamine, Ezra, etc.
• By doing any of the Compassion themed quests you get a talent hand once per character. e.g. Suri, Nanji, etc.
• You only get 1 hand per theme per character - it's not 1 talent hand per quest in that theme.
• NOTE: If you already got your points from Arthur or Jessamine you won't get additional hands from this system.
• If you already completed a Curiosity/Bravery/Compassion quest and don't have the hand for that theme, you can get them automatically by talking to the quest givers again. Again, if you already got them from Arthur/Jessamine you won't get extra.

Dagger Rebalance
Most daggers with the exception of the Tanto are currently pretty weak picks due to the endlag added before Verse 2. The following changes reduce the awkward endlag but reduce the speed of daggers to match the timing that they had before the endlag reduction. Despite the speed seeming to decrease by a lot, endlag is pretty impactful on the overall timing of weapons - so daggers will actually be faster overall with these changes, but somewhat more telegraphed. This is a pretty experimental change so we'll be monitoring the balance of daggers after this update to make any tweaks necessary.
• On the following daggers, endlag has been reduced (0.1s -> 0.05s), but swing speed has been reduced (1.05x -> 0.98x): Alloyed Whaling Knife, Canor Fang, Krulian Knife, Kyrsedge, Nemit's Sickle, Silver Dagger, Stiletto, Whaling Knife
• On the following daggers, endlag has been reduced (0.1s -> 0.05s), but swing speed has been reduced (1.03x -> 0.96x): Central Dirk, Champion's Dagger, Gilded Knife

• Ferryman's Coat now requires Power 12 to equip, craft requirements increased• Fixed Stormbreaker crit preventing you from casting mantras during it (this was an unintentional consequence of another change)
• Fixed not being able to cast mantras during the retract part of the Gremorian Longspear crit
• Gremorian Longspear crit now has an instantaneous hitbox instead of relying on a projectile. Crit anims have been polished to be better telegraphed

• Reduced Ice Lasers size scaling, but lowered the damage reduction from increased size
• Fixed Fire Blade only increasing size visually
• Ash Slam's hitbox is now further forwards instead of being centred on you

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Greatly improved server-side performance of ships, especially more complex ones like the Ironclad. This should reduce a lot of the lag caused by server-handled physics in the game

• Optimized Crypt Blade model

March 20th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• Vesperian mask shapes are now Ornaments you can pick in Character Creation or at the Barber, and are no longer locked to specific variants
• Mindsoothe now only heals your allies by default. Pressing F during the windup will now extend your Mindsoothe to everyone around you
• Knives bounty boards now only show valid targets for Grasp of Eylis. Should be easier to find grasp targets now
• Jarvis and the Artisan can now hold on to your equipment pieces and return them to you instead of voiding them if you exit out of their dialog

• Added a new stairway down from the blade temple entrance straight to the blacksmith. Should make it a lot easier to navigate

Curse of the Unbidden Rework
• Successful Unbidden counters now end the crit early, letting you retaliate on counter. Unbidden is now positive on counter and gives brief hyperarmor frames

• Fixed Curse of the Unbidden counter not negating stuns and other on-hit effects
• Increased Curse of the Unbidden crit cd (3s -> 6s). Whiffing an Unbidden counter now has endlag and places the crit on cooldown for 8s

Balancing

• Removed requirement for total slot playtime on Grasp of Eylis targets (was erroneously super big)
• Reduced windup on Punishment (0.3s -> 0.2s), made windup anim more consistent• Lowered Crypt Blade endlag (0.25s -> 0.15s)
• Lowered Wind Blade endlag (0.35s -> 0.15s)
• Reduced Lose Your Mind maximum damage buff (+20% -> +15%). Lose Your Mind now only increases your damage when below 70% sanity (previously, since LYM curves, even at 90% sanity you'd be dealing 5% extra damage on all moves at no penalty whatsoever)
• Lose Your Mind no longer has the side effect of increasing your insanity gain in the Depths
• Unfazed no longer fully prevents panicking at low sanity, instead shielding you against the damage and stun tag and reducing the duration. Unfazed still prevents shivering
• Reduced Divine Greatsword scaling (14 -> 12)
• Reduced Spinning Swordsman damage buff (+25% -> +15%)
• Increased Heretic's Sutra effectiveness
• Players now load into Arena with 100% sanity

Patch 1.1.3a[]

• Fixed Vesperian masks rerolling on respawn (in new servers)

Patch 1.1.3b[]

• Added a visual for your Tacet's range
• Command: Leech is now a base command of Vow of Mastery. If you had Command: Leech you'll get a talent hand on your next level or on spawn if you're max level

Balancing
• Since uppercuts have a fixed speed, they now deal damage proportional to their swing speed. Light weapons will do slightly more damage with uppercuts than before (to account for the uppercut being slower than their regular m1's), whereas heavy weapon will do slightly less (to account for the uppercut being faster than their regular m1's). Medium weapons will do about the same

• Fixed being able to assassinate non-humanoid mobs
• Fixed infinite reversal flame leap flight
• Fixed getting stuck in terrain when exiting Dimensional Travel

March 6th, 2023[]

• New Prominence Draw animation

Balancing
• Wayward Rework: Wayward gem now puts a mark on the opponent alerting them that they have been tagged by a wayward mantra. Wayward gem now teleports you after a second has passed instead of instantly

• Light's Final Toll swing speed reduced (0.87x -> 0.85x)
• Increased Frigate speed, Merchant Schooners, Schooner, & Sloop speeds

• Split Americas Chime region into West Coast NA & East Coast NA
• Character slots now show your oath next to your race
• You can now change your face markings at the Barber

Balancing
• Shrine of Order can now be used at Power 8 instead of having to wait until Power 12
• Shrine of Order can now only reduce a stat by up to 25 points. This ensures that high investment talents still require some degree of investment. Existing SoO builds are unaffected

• Reduced Last Second Negotiations Charisma requirement (70 -> 55)

Patch 1.1.0c[]

• Fixed a bug with a Roblox change that was causing huge frame drops every few seconds for certain players

February 20th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• New Medium Weapons Mantra: Prominence Draw
• Capra Redesign: Capras can now choose between a variety of different masks and horns during character creation or at the barber. Masks and horns can be mixed and matched separately to each other. The old Capra mask is still available and has been tweaked to better match the new style, but you're no longer forced to hide your face as a Capra. Capra faces have also been redesigned and given a greater selection. Big thanks to both SudoMesh and Nuttoons for providing feedback & sketches on the development of this redesign, as well as all the feedback we've received from the community
• Capra Mark talents now grant all of each other's bonuses but are each better at their respective trait. All the marks now have equal HP regen, and Mark of Ku now grants improved blood regen. Jurik and Nemit now get slightly improved blood regen, Ku and Nemit now get sanity protection, and Jurik and Ku now get improved food & water
• Kyrsan Medallions are now tracked as their own currency in the bottom right of the screen alongside Notes and Knowledge when you have them. Kyrsan Medallions gained in Layer 2 will be cashed in at the end of a successful run. Existing Medallions in tool form can still be traded with Klaris and Miserables. Currency medallions are instant on turn-in, fixing the long wait times to turn in your medallions. Kyrsan Medallions in currency form cap out at 99
• Added new Blindseer talent at Tier 4: All-Seeing Eye. Thanks to World_Aegis for the suggestion
• Arc Suit mantra now has upgradeable damage resistance
• New Spark for Tranquil Circle added

• Added unique designs for a variety of existing rings
• New Guild Base Room: Fish Pond. Get fishing!
• You can now fish in rivers and ponds instead of just the sea
• Added targeting reticles during the windup of moves that target enemies with your mouse. Should make these moves considerably easier to aim
• Added preferred region lobbies to Chime of Conflict 1v1's. Note that these are just separate lobbies you can choose to join and aren't actually guaranteed to get you into the region you want, it (sadly) still depends on Roblox matchmaking. This should make getting queued up against people in your preferred region easier, though

Balancing
• Core attribute (STR, INT, WLL, etc.) training requirements now no longer scale up as you progress them, making training these less of a slog at high investment
• Chaser base HP lowered
• Added a lot more invasion spots for Grasp of Eylis in the East Luminant
• Blindseer Beam damage buffed
• Arcwarder suit now has iframes on the second half of its windup

• Fixed being damaged by fire during Rising Thunder
• Tornado now pulls opponents hit into the tornado
• Tornado damage buffed slightly
• Reinforced Armor PEN reduction buffed to 40%, now gives HP
• Gale Trap hitbox is now considerably more responsive

• Fixed Impairing Blow sometimes not proccing if the enemy had a speed debuff as well as a speed buff
• Fixed buggy behavior with Astral Wind's teleportation. Should now respect the same safety locks as other forms of teleportation

• Fixed not being able to act while Gale Trap is active
• Corrected Miserables asking for 10 medallions instead of 5
• Fixed being able to pass down Mantras

• Fixed fishing rods

Patch 1.0.9b[]

• Fixed a bug caused by a Roblox update that was causing players tools to void if they died while holding them out. Also meant that if you died while holding a weapon and swapped it out in fragments it'd void. This bug mainly occurred in the Depths

February 13th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• New Lightning Mantra
• By using the Chime of Dwelling inside your base as a leader, you can now pull up a map of your base and delete rooms that you aren't happy with.

Deleting rooms will delete the NPC's inside too, but you will keep your guild's donated books
• A mysterious shrine has been uncovered in the Eastern Luminant
• Element trainers no longer care if you're trained in another element (avatar build is real)
• Expanded 'Studies on Canticlysm, Vol. IV'

• Dragoon base damage reduced (18 -> 17)
• Lightning Beam is now a 0 star Mantra
• Fixed Radiant Kick going through parry
• Reduced Solar duration (10s -> 8s)

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed an issue where if you had all your Mantra slots filled but one you'd only ever roll a single Mantra in your hands. Should fix the issue where people had the reqs for several mantras and were only rolling 1-2 mantras a hand
• Fixed players being able to wield oath mantras without the relevant oath
• Fixed Equalizer proccing dodge talents on countering (a lot of these were actually detrimental to the user)

• Fixed bandits spawning in guild bases & arena rarely
• Fixed being able to guild base hop with a glider

• Fixed the Campfire disguise missing its fire

Note: To clarify, the Brick Wall change is a buff. It reduces the duration of the knockdown status against you.

• Fixed deleting a room in your guild base deleting all the NPC's in your guild base for that server (no NPC's actually lost, it's just visual)

Patch 1.0.8a[]

Fixed Deep Gems not working & animations being frozen with Lightning Rising

February 6th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• Added 2 new earrings & 2 new pendants, all of which are now in Chaser's lootpool
• Added a new button to the main menu's server list that lets you join the previous server you were in.

Naturally, the button also won't show up if you pick a slot that's in a different place
• You can now roll up to 4 Mantra cards in a Whisper hand. Mystery Mantras will now only show up when you roll the full 4 Mantra cards, with the 4th card rolled being a mystery

Balancing
• Vent knockback now pushes away from you instead of always pushing where you're looking
• Proccing Solar mark on someone with an existing Solar mark now renews the Solar mark instead of doing nothing.

• Increased Rising Flame damage. Damage is no longer reduced by range modifiers
• Reduced the damage reduction on Fire Eruption from adding AoE modifiers

• Reduced speed scaling on Burning Servants
• Glare can no longer be feinted

• Fixed feinting Radiant Kick making it instant

Patch 1.0.7b[]

• You can now see which servers your friends are in in the main menu server list. Servers with friends are sorted to the top of your server list. Note that this depends on your privacy settings, so if your friends have it so people can't follow them, they won't show up

January 30th, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• The Chaser boss fight has been reworked in a few ways. Breaking all the jars no longer guarantees a kill on Chaser, and actual damage has to be dealt to him to bring him down. Chaser now heals from his jars, so you'll still want to get the jars down as quickly as possible. Once all the jars are broken, Chaser will be weakened, tiring after a string of attacks. The final phase of the fight that deals constant AoE damage to those outside the safety area can now no longer be blocked
• Added a new arena: New Kyrsan Arterial Rail
• Reworked Twisted Puppets

January 23rd, 2023[]

Content & Systems
• Shrine of Chance now gives you a choice of 3 cards. Cards that are prevented from rolling for Roll2 are no longer prevented from rolling for Shrine of Chance
• Starting now, a counter will go up each time you drown at max level. Once you've drowned 15 times at max level, you'll now be sent straight to Layer 2 when being sent to the Depths. To reiterate, all players will currently be at 0 max level drowns as the counter has only just started

Balancing

There is now a soft cap at 1.5x where damage multipliers added past 1.5x are halved in their efficiency. e.g. 2x damage becomes 1.75x damage, 1.8x damage becomes 1.65x damage, etc. As with previous multiplier caps, this doesn't apply to scaling or base damage, and only applies to damage multipliers from talents like Lose your Mind, Nullifying Clarity, and Matador.

Chilling with Crystal now procs a crystal stack on M1 but can't stack further than 1. This is useful for proccing Crystal Breaker but also for setting up crystal mantras for a detonation

• Fixed Crystal Breaker's explosion not scaling with the number of crystals on the target
• Crystal Impale now has some endlag when you whiff it

• Hitting a sea monster directly with a cannon shot will now cause a blood splatter and deal significantly more damage

• Replaced Chaser's re-used laughter with his own unique laughter voice acted by DemStormz

• Fixed Arc Wave sharing a CD with Thunder Kick
• Dread Breath CD increased (10 -> 15)

• Fixed Flintlock infinite air combo
• Fixed Arena loot operating on pre verse 2 levels and only ever giving the lowest tier of loot

December 27th, 2022[]

Hotfixes

• Fixed being able to freely invest attributes until 5 attributes left at which point you'd start getting progression gated. Didn't actually make progression any slower, just made it so you'd get a burst of being able to invest like 10 attributes on level up and then the 5 remaining were a struggle

Progression Rework:The game’s progression system has been reworked!*

• The way you obtain hands now has been altered to fit the new level cap. You now get 3 hands per level and a Trait hand on top every other level
• Luck has been removed from the game

• Reservoir has been removed
• Tempo added. Playing aggressively will now reward you with higher Ether regen
• Willpower now increases Tempo instead of Reservoir
• You now automatically unlock Glider crafting at Level 2 if you’ve unlocked it before
More details about the progression rework can be found in this Twitter thread:
https://twitter.com/Deepwoken/status/1603932629736333313

Systems

You will receive a talent hand for each one you obtained from leveling. Note that Mark of the Lone Warrior will not give a free hand due to it being obtained from a challenge, not a level up
• Ardour and Stone’s posture damage have been reduced to match the new combat
• Increased armor gain from repair kits
• Ether Regen from outfits (e.g. Black Diver) reduced since there's no reservoir anymore

Content & Systems

Patch 0.8.4b[]

• Fixed player-locked chests locking to their owners too in new servers

October 10th, 2022[]

Content & Systems

• Enforcer's Blade has been remodelled
• A highlight is now visible to represent the period of invincibility after you spawn

October 3rd, 2022[]

Content & Systems

• Optimized a lot of the common meshes ingame, especially in Etris. Some of the more common ingredient meshes have also been optimized which should have benefits across the map. Some of the meshes optimised have been optimised by up to 10-30x. Should help lower-end PC performance by a fair bit

September 19th, 2022[]

Hi guys, bit of a smaller content update this week as we've been working hard on Layer 2. We're happy to say that we're at the stage in the update's development where we've moved onto intensive testing and polishing. Much of the update has already been tested, polished, and completed. Most of our dev time this week has gone into improving and iterating on the feedback we're receiving from testers on Layer 2. We've also been able to fix a lot of bugs this week thanks to the new bug reports forum, thanks for using it! We're all super excited to finally get this update out to all of you in the (hopefully) near future. We appreciate all your patience and support.

Content & Systems

September 12th, 2022[]

Content & Systems
• Ledge Vaulting: Holding W while jumping up a ledge you could climb over without smacking into a wall now makes you vault over it. This means you won't be awkwardly forced into a ledge hang. You'll always ledge hang on ships, and if you want to force a ledge hang just jump up a wall without holding W. Should do a lot to keep your momentum flowing smoothly
• Enchanted equipment will now always be 1 star quality at minimum. This will apply to equipment old and new
• Enchanted weapons will now always be 1 star quality at minimum. In order to apply this to existing enchanted weaponry you currently have equipped, you'll need to unequip and reequip them

Bugfixes & Optimization

• Fixed a bug causing the last few words of tooltips to get cut off
• Fixed Deepbound players not being able to go through the castle light barrier

• Fixed an issue allowing humanoid enemies to stack M1's with crits

Patch 0.7.9a[]

• Fixed Command: Return and Command: Sacrifice not having a range limit

September 5th, 2022[]

Card Improvements
• Added Card Freezing. By spending a Burn point, you can now 'freeze' a card in your hand. You can only have one frozen card at a time, and this card will appear in all subsequent hands until you either pick it or you freeze another card. This lets you hold onto cards you get in hands where you want something else in the hand more, improving your ability to get the cards you want. You can freeze Talents or Mantras. Mantras will only reappear in subsequent whisper hands, however, so freeze mantras with caution. 'Burns' as a currency have now been renamed to 'Aces'
• Base Luck is now 25%. Max Luck is now 45%. Your current Luck may change as a result of this update
• Luck rewards have now been added to a lot of the stronger enemies in the game, including some overworld mobs. Killing bosses now always grants you max Luck

Content & Systems
• Enforcer Axe unique critical added
• Flame Leap (Reversal Spark) has been reworked
• Added new talent: Under The Radar
• Added new talent: Placebo Effect
• Added 'buff pips' to equipment tooltips. Each square in the bottom right represents a 'buff slot' in the equipment. These correspond to the rolled stats for the equipment, with quality stars adding extra pips. Each buff slot has its own rarity which affects the size of the buff granted. They're color coded as follows; Common: White, Uncommon: Yellow, Rare: Red, Legendary: Teal, Mythic: Lilac. TL;DR buff pips show you how good the rolled stats are on an item in general
• Stat diversity is now enforced on Ring, Ears, Torso, and Face equipment when there's 2 or more buff slots present, and on other types of equipment when there's 3 or more buff slots
• Hovering over your current weapon will now show you its stats as a tooltip
• Item type is now displayed with an icon next to items in loot menus (thanks mikey555 for the suggestion)
• The slot an equipment item takes up is now displayed on its tooltip

• Potions are now separated as tools depending on the ingredients used, making it easier to pick between different potions of the same name
• Loot rarity colors have now been changed to better match other rarity colors in the game
• Outfit schematic names now always match the name of the outfit they're schematics for
• Added a ping indicator next to the server region. Note that this may differ to the ping displayed in Shift-F3, as different measurements are used
• Updated the impact VFX for Clutching Shadow

Balancing
• Stun for being parried is now decreased across the board. Parry stun length is now based on your weapon class. This should reward players for attempting an aggressive option when they know an opponent is going to feint. This is a pretty big change to how parrying works so we'll be keeping a close eye on how it affects the meta
• Ice Blade damage increased
• Fire Gun damage increased (Upgrades are more effective)
• Fire and Ice Servants now attack faster
• Fire and Ice Servants damage increased (Upgrades are more effective)
• Drefa and Korin now only require 5 Wood and the Wood to Notes ratio is now 1:1
• Grasp no longer teleports the hunter back until the hunt target is out of combat
• If you're hunted by an Eylis hunter, no matter if you escape or die, you cannot be hunted again at all for 5 minutes now once the hunt ends
• Ferryman health slightly lowered so the fight doesn't drag on for too long
• Ferryman now receives more damage from you if you haven't been damaged by him and are getting frequent hits (rewards mastering his dance and skilled players)
• Justicar's Armor Physical Resistance reduced to 35%, but given Ether Regen
• Navaen War Chief Elemental resistance increased to 30%
• Chief's will penetration increased to 25%
• Illusion Realm no longer works on Giant Mobs
• Buffed the summon duration on illusion servants
• Buffed Stealth on Assassin's Hoods (4% -> 5%), Assasin Cloaks (2% -> 3%), Master Thief's Earrings (2% -> 3%)

• Reduced amount of Grasp teleport locations in Etris & Vigils
• Grasp hunters now start hunts slightly further away from their targets
• Mob rising wind can now be parried properly and doesn't last as long

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed the game's attribute point correction system not accounting for the +1 point you get from getting another attunement (this is why some people had -1 points)
• Fixed Sacrifice command not combat tagging the victim
• Fixed dodging attacks giving agility training instead of giving your enemy the training instead
• Jellyfish no longer have red blood (we know y'all were waiting for this)
• Fixed spitting on mobs always reducing your reputation with a faction even with non-human enemies and in lawless areas
• Fixed Full Reset
• Fixed Crimson & Mist Assassin Cloaks not having stealth buffs
• Stealth buffs are now displayed properly when you have multiple buffs

• Fixed Wild Alchemy description being inaccurate
• Fixed Resurrection bell not working on instant executes (prima stomp, etc.)

• Fixed Blacksmiths in new servers

Patch 0.7.8b[]

Hotfixes
In new servers...
• Fixed Blacksmiths

Patch 0.7.8c[]

Hotfix for Parry Update:
• Fixed a bug with the parry update that made it apply to things outside of weapons
• Fixed a bug with parry update that made daggers get stunned for less time instead of more. Daggers are supposed to be stunned THE MOST, heavy weapons are supposed to be stunned THE LEAST.

• Mobs are now always stunned for the maximum time when you parry them
• Fixed a bug where you could autoparry mid attack

Intended Behavior:
Dagger stunned the longest
Heavy stunned the shortest
Medium in the middle

You should be able to interrupt feints and long wind ups by attacking but not swings or quick attacks

August 29th, 2022[]

Content & Systems
• New Talent: Skull Crusher (thank you Kxshiru for the suggestion)
• All data-slot specific unlocks are now account-wide unlocks. If you unlock an origin, a flaw, a boon, or a starting weapon, it will now be available on all of your slots. This applies to existing unlocks, too

• Added a 'return to menu' button on shutdowns. This won't show up until after the shutdown for this patch
• You can now see how many legendaries you've rolled in hands in the Summary screen when resting. If this number isn't displayed despite you having legendaries, it should correct itself on levelling up. If you are eligible for Legendary Pity, it will now tell you in the Summary screen by the number of legendaries you've rolled. Please remember that Legendary Pity is only applied on your next rare, given you meet the requirements for legendaries, and not immediately after you're eligible for Legendary Pity

• Buffed the efficiency of Boulder & Training Vest training
• Buffed the efficiency of Ankle Weights training
• You can now react to spark swap and parry it
• Revenge base damage increased (5 -> 15), but fixed a bug where Revenge would always deal max damage. It now scales its damage bonus properly with how low your HP is
• Reduced Reinforce max duration (90s -> 60s). Reinforce CD now takes duration into account so you can't infinitely cycle it. Reinforce damage buffs are now additive damage multipliers. Reinforce's damage self buff is now reduced if you didn't buff anyone else. Fixed Reinforce with Lord Commander healing you even if you didn't buff anyone else
• By default, Reinforce now only buffs you and your guildmates. Pressing F during the windup of Reinforce will extend your buff to those who aren't in your guild. Your Reinforce will be a different color depending on whether it's guild-only or applying to anyone nearby
• Buffed Relic Axe swing speed (0.54x -> 0.57x)
• Buffed Master Hawk's Handaxe swing speed (0.54x -> 0.57x), gave 5% PEN

• Fixed a bug where players who had selected a now unlockable flaw on a previous character and didn't have it unlocked would be locked into having said flaw
• Fixed item shops being destructible
• M1's and crits now cancel the parry anim playing, preventing you from masking your attacks with parries

• Failing a Grasp hunt now temporarily prevents you from hunting the same person right away
• Lowered reqs for Blindseer progression

Patch 0.7.7c[]

PSA: In order to convert slot unlocks you have on a specific slot to account-wide unlocks, you'll need to log into the game on that slot. e.g. if Slot A has lone warrior unlocked and you want it on Slot B, you'll need to log into Slot A first to unlock it for your entire account. This only applies to unlocks before today's update

Patch 0.7.7d[]

In new servers...
• Grasp of Eylis now has a level difference limitation to who you can teleport to
• Grasp of Eylis targets can now only be hunted by two Eylis hunters maximum at a time. i.e. you can no longer do group ganks with Grasp
• Grasp of Eylis now has a short delay before the same person can be hunted again by any Grasp user after a hunt ends
• Grasp of Eylis now has a sound cue playing from the spot where the hunter teleported to so it's easier to tell if there's a hunter teleporting near you
• If your target logs to escape your Grasp, your Grasp cooldown is reset

Patch 0.7.7e[]

PSA: Roblox killed highlights again, which (annoyingly) means that the Chest ESP & Grasp of Eylis ESP's won't work anymore. If Roblox don't re-enable them soon, we'll implement some placeholder assets to cover the same functionality until Roblox bring them back.

Patch 0.7.7f[]

Roblox re-enabled highlights so chest ESP and grasp ESP should work now. They broke server regions though, more details in ⁠announcements.
• Fixed server region display for new servers. We found a way to bypass what Roblox broke. No telling if this will continue to work, but we'll keep you updated.

August 22nd, 2022[]

Origins Update
• Added 'Origins' to character creation. Different origins will start you off with different equipment and allegiances, and can even grant unique talents for your playthrough.

• Excavator now lets you mine things more quickly. Harvester now lets you chop down trees more quickly. Pack Mule now grants you a flat +5 to your max quantity of individual food items, instead of granting +30% max quantity to the food items. (thanks fenaerii for the suggestions)

• Fixed a variety of memory leaks from moves

Patch 0.7.6a[]

August 1st, 2022[]

Content & Systems
• New Bell: Gravity Field
• Revamped tooltips for items with a sleek new design that shows stats & requirements more clearly. Innate stats on equipment are now separated and displayed in italics. The requirements to equip different kinds of equipment are now displayed
• Sear reworked: Attacks now apply 'Cauterize', which amplifies PEN damage the victim receives per hit, up to +40% PEN dealt. Cauterize also depletes their thirst by 1/5 of the damage dealt. The PEN increase per hit depends on the weapon type, so it takes more hits for a light weapon to reach the +40%. Special thanks to a player's suggestion for this new mechanic. Sear now also has a new visual
• Oathless is now guaranteed to appear in hands from level 30 to 40 if you do not currently have an Oath and haven't burnt Oathless. Oathless is now rolled on top of your hand, meaning that rolling Oathless won't take up space that other talents could have been rolled in. Burning Oathless is now free
• Made 'solo kills' against bosses more lenient than having to do 100% of the damage so that a player running into the fight at the last moment won't ruin your perfect solo reward
• Loot now prioritizes spawning equipment/weapons over treasure gems in larger chests
• Authority Commanders can now drop an uncommon item 'Shipping Schedule', which can be turned in to the Etrean Guardmaster at Fort Merit for additional Fort Merit loot and high EXP
• Bounty jobs now contribute to Cestis quest completions
• Boon: Packmule now also increases your food max quantity slightly
• Flaw: Manic description rephrased to be more clear. Manic makes incoming insanity increased, such as insanity gained from Megalodaunt roar
• Added pity for Pluripotent Alloy drops. You're now guaranteed to get a Pluripotent Alloy every 4 world boss kills, in addition to the RNG roll. Note that receiving an alloy from RNG will reset your pity counter
• Your primary weapon's enchant visuals will now also be shown on offhand shields, and offhand Parrying Dagger
• Shattered Katana now has a scabbard like normal Katana
• Added descriptions for some weapons & equipment that were either missing descriptions or had duplicate descriptions. More descriptions soon
• You can now buy the starter Sword and Apprentice Rapier at the Etris weapon shop
• Guilds on the leaderboard now have a divider between them to improve visual clarity
• Your chosen starting island in Character Creation now saves between playthroughs (slot-based)

Equipment Changes
• Newly rolled equipment now has a limit to the diversity of buffs present. This should mean that you won't see as many pieces with 5-6 different kinds of rolled buffs present

The following pieces of equipment now come with innate talents:
Head Equipment
• Assassin Hoods: Assassin
• Authority Helm: Strong Hold
• Investigator's Hat: Diplomat
• Gladiator Helm: Concussive Force
• Brigand's Bicorn: Spare Nails, Emergency Repairs
• Black Strapped Hat & Double Strapped Hat: The Thinker

Arm Equipment
• Parka (White/Brown/etc): Steady Footing
• Deepwoken Cloaks: Blade Dancer
• Vanguard Brace: Replenishing Knockout
• Adjucator's Coat: Hardened Nerves
• Aristocrat's Coat: Art of the Deal
• Glassdancer Wraps: Lightweight
• Woodland Pauldrons & Khan Pauldrons: Polite Awakening
• Royal Pathfinder: Ready or Not
• Assassin Cloaks (Pale/Crimson/etc) : Now You See Me
• Enforcer Plate: Berserker
• Star Duster: Firmly Planted
• Providence Coat: Braced Collapse
• Diver's Light Plate: Conquer your Fears

Balancing
• Grand Skewer now requires pressing F during the windup of Grand Javelin to skew. Your javelin will not skewer unless F is pressed
• Payback beam variant now always deals posture damage and has increased range. Payback delayed beamless variant now does 20% more damage
• Wind kick is now faster and has an explosion effect
• Shattered Katana PEN increased (25%->30%), Swing Speed increased slightly (0.73x->0.74x)
• Astral Wind damage scaling lowered slightly
• Wild enchant no longer deals the additional damage proc to the original enemy hit. (The person you M1 with wild will no longer take the bonus damage, the bonus damage now only applies to the enemies near them)
• Wild enchant's damage spread buffed: 20% of original damage -> 25% of original damage
• Landing a chill proc with an offhand will now always require 6 stacks
• Increased player combat tags against bosses (2 mins -> 3 mins). Should mean that with bosses like ferryman where the gimmick is that they're hard to hit that you don't lose out on your reward if you don't manage to hit them frequently enough. Side effect of this however is that bosses will stay aggro'd on you for longer
• Duke Minion's AI intelligence lowered so they dont insta overwhelm you all at once (They should make more bad decisions now)
• Mudskipper swipes now have a slight bit of endlag at the end of their swipe so infinite swipe combos won't happen as much, and can be parried out of more reliably. This also extends to mobs that use the swipes, such as the Duke and his minions
• Fort Merit loot buffed: less junk items cluttering the lootpool now
• Fort Merit hostage cooldown lowered from 1 hour to 10 minutes, EXP buffed, now gives rep with Etrea
• Buffed Duke dungeon EXP
• Buffed EXP for killing the following enemies: King Thresher, King Gigamed, Crustaceous Rex, Terrapod, Enforcer, Nautilodaunt
• Pickaxe no longer requires strength to use
• Eruption Path: Lava Serpent no longer requires Azure Flames, the only requirement now is 40 Flamecharm
• Apprentice Rapier now only requires 20 LHT and will drop from Erisia and Minityrsa chests
• Parrying Dagger now requires 10 Agility instead of 10 Light
• Parrying Dagger now restores +15% more posture when you successfully parry
• Fixed food damage buffs and charm damage multipliers not following the additive damage multiplier change
• Damage Potions now have PvE damage scaling
• Using offhand guns with non-light weapons now adjusts the windup time it takes to fire the gun according to weapon type. Offhand gun with medium weapon makes firing a gun take 10% more windup time; Offhand gun with heavy weapon makes firing a gun take 25% more windup time Should solve the insane heavy weapon combos that abused flintlock speed
• Getting ragdolled now cancels Ice Skate

• Fixed Deep Gems not working on Tacet Drop Kick
• Fixed Detonation proccing even if the attack was parried/blocked/etc
