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.
December 19th, 2023
• Drowned Favours have been reset, meaning that any character you've already used a Drowned Favour on can be revived again once the patch drops.
• The 50% OFF sale has been extended to next Friday. Happy holidays!
Content & Systems
• New Wind/Lightning HYBRID Mantra: Tempest Blitz ★★
• Added support for Hybrid Mantras. Hybrid Mantras can be upgraded by either element's trainer and have a gradient on their tool that shows both elements
• No-Spark Shadow Gun rework: Greatly increased damage, greatly increased posture damage, reduced size scaling. Now guardbreaks at Lv. 5
• Shadow Chains rework: now has reticle targeting, faster firing, and procs hitstun. Added a 0.1s delay after the portals spawn in before the chains fire, has autoparry frames, AoE on chains decreased but this actually makes the targeting more reliable
• Blood Shadow has now been remade into 'Lord's Tithe'. Instead of stealing health from those you reinforce, it now steals ether. If you had Blood Shadow, you'll automatically get Lord's Tithe
• You now lose Element Unbounded talents if you dip below 75 investment on them via Shrine of Order. This applies to existing builds too
• Added confirmation to Trig's dialogue and removed the softlock from Asius's dialogue. You can now apologise to Trig and complete the quest if you chose the ambush ending before
• Sanity pips now also give a little bit of Ether (+1, +2, +3, +4)
• Rare (red) Monster Armor pips now also give +1% Physical Armor and +1% Element Armor, making them a lot more worthwhile

• Depths Collapse event now drops guaranteed minimum 1-star loot
• Hell Mode specific events now drop guaranteed minimum 1-star loot
• Diver's Light Plate drops are now guaranteed minimum 1-star
Balancing & Tweaks
• Reworked how Dual Guns alternate their M1's. Fixes issues with weird endlag between M1's and fixes an issue with dual guns sometimes flourishing on the 3rd M1 and sometimes on the 4th. Dual Guns now consistently flourish on the 3rd M1
• M1 feint endlag now scales with swingspeed, with 0.6x (and below) swingspeed having no endlag after feinting, and 0.9x (and above) swingspeed having the existing 0.2s endlag after feinting an M1
• Increased Dark Blade range, increased damage, increased vfx size
• Encircle given hitstun, decreased delay before warp (1.1s -> 1s), increased damage
• Shadow Meteors now has hitstun

Bugfixes & Optimization
• Using a mantra at the end of an M1 now correctly ends the M1 animation early

• Fixed certain moves failing to target/hit Chaser
• Fixed Ice Eruption bugging if you hit a destructible structure

• If you had Blood Shadow you now get a hand refunded instead of getting Lord's Tithe since the functionality is pretty different

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 ★★
• New AGL Talent: Muffled Screams
• New CHA Talent: Narcissist
• New CHA/Rhythm Talent: Spotter
• New LTN/MTL Talent: Voltaic Conductor
• New Advanced WLL/FTD Talent: Not A Scratch
• Guild Bases are now entered/exited by pressing E at the door and not by awkwardly running into them 3 to 4 times
• Switched server geolocation service, should show much more accurate regions (no more Texas, EU)
• LFT Crit now has an indicator for its stages. Last stage of LFT crit will now counter if hit during its startup
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
• Reduced M1 input buffer window slightly to avoid misinputs
• Greatly buffed Voidwalker EXP from completing fair bounties
• Shrine of Division cap raised by 1 to account for Kelsius quest
• Phantom Step now buffs sprint speed while active
• Possession no longer costs Spectral Gauge on proc
• Twisted Puppets now travel faster while homing with Moths to a Flame. While searching for targets they move slower to prevent them wandering too far
• Increased Moths to a Flame targeting range (25 -> 35)
• Increased Twisted Puppet lifespan (15s -> 20s)
• Moths to a Flame now continues to home for 2s after an opponent has extinguished their flames
• Increased Wind Forge damage scaling with upgrades
• 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
• Iron Pulling endlag increased (0.1s -> 0.4s), should fix the movestacks and make it less true. Now applies Mantra endlag too
• Gravity Field duration reduced slightly
• Needle Barrage targeting range lowered and damage lowered
• Rocket Lance windup increased
• Metal Eruption collisions turned off, slightly less windup, less endlag
• Metal Gatling tracking slightly better
• Caltrops decay after some time and are destructible structures
• Metal Kick normal variant has a slightly faster drop, Dropkick variant has a little more posture damage
• Fixed Tornado having parry stun
• Fixed Karita Divebomb not applying stun
• Fixed Flaming Scourge not being cancellable
• Fixed bug where the talent Strong Hold worked when one handing a weapon with a shield
• Blood Shadow no longer works on enemies with iframes
• Defiance no longer works on unconscious enemies
• Metal Enchant no longer works on unconscious enemies
• Shadow Hero blade critical range reduced
• Stormseye MED req increased (25 -> 40)
• Strong Punch Windup increased from (.5 -> .55)
• Iceberg now caps out at 10%, upgrade scaling increased
• Karita Divebomb now receives iframes when divebombing a target
• Dragoon base damage decreased (17 -> 16), increased ammo in 1H mode (3 -> 4)
• Scaled Kyrscleave model up visually
• Punishment now has some endlag on successful counter (.1s), fixed whiffing not incurring a standard CD
• Fixed Ice Skate locking you in overly long endlag if you run out of Ether
• 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
• Fixed M2 uppercuts sometimes bypassing parry stun
• Rocket Lance flinging fixed (hopefully)
• Fixed a scenario where Karita Divebomb would bug your character
• Fixed Ice Cubes going on CD twice on auto-fire
• Fixed taking fall damage while using Ice Skate

Conquest Progress Update
Development is going pretty well! We've made a lot of progress even in just the last week and think it'll be ready within the next few weeks for sure. No exact release date yet because we still need to finish things up and then put it through some extensive playtesting, but we'll try to keep y'all updated on the expected drop. We're trying to drop Conquest as a very different gamemode to what we've done before, and want to ship it with an endgame version with big rewards, and a casual version with temporary characters, kinda like BR.
We really appreciate all the patience and support in waiting for this update, and wanna get something fun out to y'all ASAP. We'll be posting sneak peeks and info on twitter in the leadup to its release, so stay tuned!

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

• 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

• 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

Patch 1.4.8a
• 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 typeOctober 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

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
• Optimized blocking. Should help with performance
• Fixed raycast projectiles inconsistently hitting the sea if there was a part beneath the sea that it could hit
Also: the sea is red now.
• Fixed cheese spots with the trial
• Glitching under the map excludes you from the trial
• Fixed being able to enter in-progress trials through some portals
• Portals now have an indicator for when they can be accessed
• Fixed waves loot being way better than intended. Consider it an early bird bonus
• Buffed the loot up (overnerfed it)
• Optimized the Pumpkin Pitch projectiles
• Filled in a lot of the cheese spots and made it harder to get stuck under the Gourdskipper map
• 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?

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
• Optimized blocking. Should help with performance
• Fixed raycast projectiles inconsistently hitting the sea if there was a part beneath the sea that it could hit
Also: the sea is red now.
Patch 1.4.7a
Trial of the Gourdskipper Hotfixes• Fixed cheese spots with the trial
• Glitching under the map excludes you from the trial
• Fixed being able to enter in-progress trials through some portals
• Portals now have an indicator for when they can be accessed
Patch 1.4.7b
• Fixed combat tags not clearing properly sometimes, making you 'infinitely' in danger. If you're 'infinitely' tagged like this, just take another source of combat tag and wait for it to run out and it should go awayPatch 1.4.7c
• Fixed terrible aiming on the pumpkin throwingPatch 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 therePatch 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 intendedOctober 13th, 2023
Surge Path

• New Lightning Talent: Fried Circuits

Battle Royale: Trios & Squads
• Battle Royale testing returns once more with Trios and Squads. During this weekend, use the Chime of Conflict to access BR trios and squads. Solo queue and duos queue will also be available. Some of the queues might end up being pretty empty - this is part of what we're testing
• 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

• Improved server startup times and reduced Server Memory footprint by not keeping redundant files from initial server loading

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

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

• 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

• Fixed Flame Within buff sometimes sticking for longer than the burn tag

• Shadow Vortex now telegraphs that you're in its radius earlier

• Storm Cage duration and scaling reduced
• Ardour incoming posture damage reduction reduced (35% -> 25%)
• Static Flash Clone damage reduced by about 15%
Bugfixes & Optimization

• Fixed Mystic not overriding the open slot preference for mantra hands. Should make it easier to roll the mantras you want to
• Fixed Haunted Gale not proccing for a lot of wind mantras
• Fixed Warding Radiance not proccing on some mantras, and proccing on some damage sources that aren't mantras
• Fixed roll dust showing up while in Tacet
• Fixed animation spam from deferred/bleed proccing when you have shaky block frames
• Fixed Ress bell CD not proccing on a failed resurrection
• Illusory Counter no longer swaps positions on problematic mobs, fixing an issue where certain boss fights would get you stuck in walls if you countered their attacks
• Fixed Samael softlock. If you died during the ichor transition screen and got softlocked, simply talk to Samael to get Starkindred
• Fixed Mani Katti freezing your camera in place if it executes someone
• 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
(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)
• Fixed BR equipment pools having useless rings
• Reduced storm damage more. Added more jump pads
• 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
• The gamemode has been rewritten to allow us to more easily keep it up to date with the main game, so unlike last time around there won't be missing features
Content & Systems
• New Beast Mantra: Abyssal Ridge
• 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. This means no more awkwardly having to re-equip weapons after using these abilities. Not all activated talents have this, just the ones that don't require a confirmation
• 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
• Human mobs can now climb ladders
• You can now reclaim your guild if the leader was terminated by Roblox
Balancing
• Cannonballs that hit the water now deal AoE damage. The damage and AoE are slightly reduced compared to a hit on ships/land
• Direct cannonball hits no longer count as blunt damage
• Snow is now easier to see through when you're at sea
• Reduced mobility while swimming/midair for a lot of abilities that move further in water/midair due to a lack of friction. Should make the distance travelled closer to that on land
• Chaser Jars can once again be broken with certain mantras
• Increased Wild AoE damage (35% of M1 -> 50% of M1), increased AoE
• 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)
• Wind Blade can now hit multiple enemies and no longer cancels its damage after hitting a static NPC
• Parrying Ice Blade now cancels it early
• Shadow Vortex now wakes up assassinated players
• Shadow Vortex now telegraphs that you're in its radius earlier
• Reduced Skyreap Blade endlag (01.s -> 0.05s)
• Chilling procs no longer get scaled twice (this was unintentional), but Chilled proc duration on Chilling M1 has been doubled (0.2s -> 0.4s), and base damage has been increased (3% of M1 damage -> 4% of M1 damage)
• Fixed Nullifying Clarity going through on parry/block/dodge
• Storm Cage duration and scaling reduced
• Ardour incoming posture damage reduction reduced (35% -> 25%)
• Static Flash Clone damage reduced by about 15%
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Enabled a new Roblox feature that should cut down on lag from static/sleeping NPC's greatly
• Fixed Mystic not overriding the open slot preference for mantra hands. Should make it easier to roll the mantras you want to
• Fixed Haunted Gale not proccing for a lot of wind mantras
• Fixed Warding Radiance not proccing on some mantras, and proccing on some damage sources that aren't mantras
• Fixed roll dust showing up while in Tacet
• Fixed animation spam from deferred/bleed proccing when you have shaky block frames
• Fixed Ress bell CD not proccing on a failed resurrection
• Illusory Counter no longer swaps positions on problematic mobs, fixing an issue where certain boss fights would get you stuck in walls if you countered their attacks
• Fixed Samael softlock. If you died during the ichor transition screen and got softlocked, simply talk to Samael to get Starkindred
• Fixed Mani Katti freezing your camera in place if it executes someone
• 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 contributionPatch 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
Content & Systems
• New Lightning Mantra: Thunder Wisp ★★
• New Mythic Relic: Moonseye Tome
• New Mythic Event: Resonant Dawn
• Fishman Rework: As polled for, Fishman now lets you execute enemies at sea, and gives you additional healing when you knock others in water. Scuba Drowner extends the timer on Fishman executes
• Human mobs now circle you and quickly reposition themselves when attacking instead of standing still all the time
• 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
• Dynamic cloth flaps less in the wind now, should be a bit more rigid
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 bug with Fadetrimmer mantras where your camera would get frozen in place
• Fixed particles and light sources showing through Tacet
• Fixed some issues where Preservation could fling bubbled people
• Fixed Cool Head not preventing you being put on fire
• Fixed Disguise sparks with particles/light sources not displaying
• Fixed Brace vfx not matching hyperarmor duration
• Fixed Burning Servants having huge endlag

• 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

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)

• 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
• Fixed Lightning Strike

• 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

• 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

• 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 softlocksSeptember 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
• 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

• 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

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
• Lone Warrior players can now access a new shrine in To1 that performs the function of a Mystic for free. Other origins do not have access to this shrine
• New 1H Gun Talent: Lock n Load
• New 1H Gun Talent: Sleight of Hand
• New 1H Gun Talent: One in the Chamber
• New 1H Gun Talent: Ultrakill
• New Pistol (1H & Dual) Talent: Rapid Fire
• Greatly improved sliding down smooth terrain. Should no longer be a janky mess where you slide in seemingly arbitrary directions
• Improved handling of non-colliding parts with sliding. For example, sliding through a waterfall won't interrupt your slide anymore
• 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
• Contractor now requires 4 different Shrines used total instead of 4 specific Shrines (mastery, chance, blasphemy, temptation)
• Damage multiplier on 1H guns reduced (20% -> 15%) since there's now talents to make it viable
• Posture damage and Range increased on pistol whips
• Posture damage increased on loaded 1H pistol shots
• 1H Gun reload speed increased
• Fire Blade now blockbreaks at Lv 5
• Increased Thresher Talon drop rate slightly. Nightmare Threshers can now drop them
• Saint Jay no longer lets you steal healing from others if you were the one who procced the healing
• Heal particles now emit more or less particles depending on the size of the heal
• Fixed Delayed Payback healing the enemy, this fix increases the healing from Delayed Payback
• Metal Armament slashes now count as mantra damage, but scale slightly less in PvE to adjust for this
• Buffed chest reward from Bandit Hostage event
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed humanoid mobs not spawning with enchants
• Fixed some inconsistencies with trial difficulty
• Fixed Tornado occasionally breaking levitation on mobs like Chaser
• Fixed Corrupted Delayed Non-Beam Payback not giving lifesteal
• Fixed Justicar Defender being unsellable
• Fixed a rare bug where Silenthearts would miss Mani Katti in their progression
• Fixed mobs in whaler vs etreans events and bandit hostage events not despawning
• Fixed projectile bullets not counting as Blunt damage like other gun attacks
(aware of some issues with voyaging hanging for ages until it fails. looking into a fix)

Patch 1.3.5a
• Fixed Chain of Perfection not working against Scion of EthironJuly 31st, 2023
Attuned Monsters & PvE Changes
• Monsters can now spawn in as 'Attuned' to an Element. These buffs give the monsters unique benefits and weaknesses. A unique sound will play when you attack the mob depending on if the mob had "Resistance" or "Weakness" to the attack you used
• Monsters no longer automatically remove status effects instantly
• PvE Power scaling on mantra damage increased, with mantras being close to twice as strong against mobs at Power 20 compared to before. 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

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

• Monsters no longer automatically remove status effects instantly
• PvE Power scaling on mantra damage increased, with mantras being close to twice as strong against mobs at Power 20 compared to before. 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

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
• Based on the player poll results, currently the two main projects we're working on are World Events and Conquest

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.

• The Ferryman now gives you Knowledge as his Spring reward
• Guards now warn you to stop hitting them if they're friendly and you hit them by accident
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
• Divine Dagger endlag reduced (0.1s -> 0.05s), swing speed reduced (1.15x -> 1.07x)
Balancing
• Buffed size of Primadon gem chest. Increased Deep Gem drop rate in Primadon gem chests
• Half of the chests Primadon drops now have a guaranteed additional quality star added to any loot rolled, meaning you'll be way more likely to get good starred loot from him
• Reduced Primadon summon CD (30m -> 12m)
• The Ferryman now drops chests on defeat. These chests have an additional quality star added to the loot they roll
• Certain humanoid mobs can now vent
• Ferryman's Coat now gives +50% Ether Regen, 5% Wind Armor, 5% Blunt Armor
• Ferryman's Coat Elemental Armor increased (25% -> 35%), Lightning Armor increased (20% -> 25%), Physical Armor decreased (25% -> 20%), Durability increased (1000 -> 2500)
• 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
• Gremorian Longspear crit now deals +15% chip damage

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
• Divine Dagger endlag reduced (0.1s -> 0.05s), swing speed reduced (1.15x -> 1.07x)
Balancing

• The Ferryman now drops chests on defeat. These chests have an additional quality star added to the loot they roll
• Certain humanoid mobs can now vent
• Ferryman's Coat now gives +50% Ether Regen, 5% Wind Armor, 5% Blunt Armor
• Ferryman's Coat Elemental Armor increased (25% -> 35%), Lightning Armor increased (20% -> 25%), Physical Armor decreased (25% -> 20%), Durability increased (1000 -> 2500)
• 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)

• Gremorian Longspear crit now has an instantaneous hitbox instead of relying on a projectile. Crit anims have been polished to be better telegraphed

• 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

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
• New Rare Ring
• 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

• Reduced Kyrsblade chip damage (35% -> 30%)
• Fixed blocking the initial hit of rising lightning keeping you stuck in place
• Thresher Scales no longer locks you out of rolling Bloodiron Spirit. If you got Bloodiron first you could do the quest and get Thresher Scales, so it didn't make sense for the opposite to still be blocked
• 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

Bugfixes & Optimization

• 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 Tough Love causing you to attract aggro despite not being the aggressor
• 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
• Narrowed some of the Capra horn variants, made the old-style mask closer to the original in its design
• Fixed mob patrol pathfinding breaking. Wasn't mentioned in the update but there were optimizations on this end that should help performance especially on the surface
• Fixed fishing rods

Content & Systems

• 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

• The maximum damage multiplier cap is now 1.75x. 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.

Patch 1.0.4a
In new servers...• Fixed Rising Shadow
• Fixed NPC's rolling Yun'Shul and NLK enchants
January 9th, 2023
Content & Systems
• Unique Critical for Petra's Anchor added
• Updated anims for Curved Blade of Winds added
• While they're progressing, Contractors now send their victims in the Depths to Layer 2 instead of wiping them outright. Once the Contractor has fully progressed their oath, their victims will wipe as usual
• Emergency Repairs and Spare Nails are now automatically acquired with enough Repair Hammer use. If you already had these talents, you'll get hands of talents refunded once you've used your Repair Hammer enough
• Cannonballs that hit water now have a small AoE that'll damage mobs in the water to make it easier to deal with mobs attacking your ship
• 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
• Using the Shrine of Order now gives you the Restless flaw. Existing builds that used the Shrine of Order before will be automatically granted Restless. We thought Shrine of Order could do with a downside due to the crazy builds that can be created with it, and Restless is a pretty minor flaw
• Removing Oathless through Yun'Shul no longer gives you Restless. If you removed Oathless before this patch, you'll get one of your flaws removed automatically
• Miserables now removes Tarnished when you gain clarity
• You can now create Umbral Bullets with Umbrite
Balancing
• Parry CD now resets when being hit by a mantra that can be parried. On multi-hit mantras, this only applies to the last hit, so whiffing during the multi-hit punishes you for the remainder of the mantra like before
• You can no longer use the Shrine of Order with an oath
• Increased EXP reward for beating Scion of Ethiron by a lot
• Increased EXP reward for beating Chaser by a lot
• Increased base duration of Arc Suit (10s -> 15s)
• Sped up Arc Suit equip speed by roughly 20%
• Vigil's Grace's knockdown now has a 3 second cooldown after landing a knockdown
• Equalizer now only counters M1's, crits, and mantras specifically. This is to fix issues where if you dodged with talents like Mirage Clone it'd trigger the counter, making it inescapable if you had those talents
• Fixed Wild dealing AoE damage to your allies
• Gran Sudaruska swing speed reduced (0.64x -> 0.62x)
• Gran Sudaruska ICE scaling reduced (10 -> 9)
• Reduced Kyrsblade MED scaling (7.5 -> 6)
• Increased Kyrsglaive base damage (19 -> 21)
• Removed additional debuff to Rifle shots if initial blast of shot hits. Now in line with other guns
• Gilded Knife is no longer a rare weapon
• Fixed Gran Sudaruska being considered legendary rarity and not mythic
• Fixed Poser Ring doing less damage than your normal M1's
• Added a max range to Static Allure
• Petra's Anchor range buffed (8.5 -> 9)
• Fixed Kaido Mantra not being parryable
• Wind-Up bell now has a cap on its damage multiplication but now has an additional flat damage increase applied to make it more useful on a broader range of weapons
• The guards at Castle Light are now Black Divers and are much stronger
• Castle Light is no longer lawless
• Increased Heretic's Sutra insanity damage
• Fixed Arc Wave sharing a CD with Thunder Kick
• Dread Breath CD increased (10 -> 15)
• Fixed not being able to dodge all 3 projectiles for Triple Javelin
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed breaking out of Frozen state deleting other stun tags. This meant that freeze procs could clear stun tags on bosses like the Scion, ending their stun states early
• Fixed an interaction where if you freezed an enemy with your Chilling M1, the proc from Chilling would break the freeze instantly
• Fixed Flintlock infinite air combo
• Fixed Arena loot operating on pre verse 2 levels and only ever giving the lowest tier of loot
• Fixed a bug where at max level with no attribute points you could learn your first element without incurring an attribute point cost (the first element you learn doesn't give you an extra attribute point, only subsequent elements)
• Fixed using Lightning Stream on someone from guild base causing them to fly
• Fixed Piercing Will not working with Heretic's Sutra
• You can no longer use the Guild Officer tool in Arena/Dungeons

• Fixed a bug causing guns to have lower range than usual
• Fixed Erisore bullets not being craftable
• Fixed coated bullets occasionally breaking your character
• Fixed losing loot when leaving Layer 2 Floor 2 if you were holding it
• Fixed a bug where chaser could break and softlock the run
• Fixed Merit bounty boards being missing

• Fixed Shrine of Order stat summary sometimes being off by 1 or 2 points
• Fixed an issue with collision grouping that was causing moves like Grand Javelin to ignore monsters
• Optimized the collision geometry of a lot of models in the game. Should improve performance somewhat
• Added Mystics to Castle Light, Voidheart, Greathive Aratel, and Miner's Landing
• Unique Critical for Petra's Anchor added
• Updated anims for Curved Blade of Winds added
