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.
October 25th, 2025
Content & Systems
💡 Added a new system for deep/shallow waters. The further away from shore you get, the deeper the sea gets. Deep water innately grants your ship a higher speed multiplier. Shallow water is calmer and less choppy. Unlike highways where you're either on them or off them, sea depth is gradual
💣 Sea highways have been removed with the introduction of deep/shallow waters. They were manually placed and only enabled you to quickly travel between specific predesignated points. Now, you can benefit from faster speeds simply by sailing into deeper waters
🔧 Remodelled Pumpkin projectiles (i.e. Pumpkin Pitch)
🔧 The glow within the Pumpkin Head accessory is now dyeable
💡 New Book: Capran Aphorisms
Balancing
⚖️ Tweaked the midgame equipment lootpools to have better picks for that stage of the game
⏫ Upgraded Leather Boots common pip to a rare pip
⏫ Iron Pauldrons now have +1 Posture. Moved to midgame lootpools
⏫ Grand Boots now has +1 Posture. LVL req increased (4 -> 6)
⏫ Gladiator Pauldrons now have an additional +1 rare pip, +1 HP
⚖️ White/Black Fur Boots, Novice Boots, Tracker's Boots, Vanguard Boots, Autumn Boots downgraded to 1 rare pip to match other earlygame boots, LVL req removed, moved to earlygame lootpools
⚖️ The Dark Owl set now drops from Deep Owls instead of being a L2 drop
⏬ Fadetrimmer Precision Cuts windup increased from 0.33 to 0.4
Bugfixes & Optimization
⚙️ Mobs with static spawns no longer all spawn at server start and instead will wait for their chunk to be occupied before spawning in. Previously, they would spawn in and then immediately get put into their sleep state which did reduce their footprint but meant there were a lot of mobs just sitting around in memory waiting to be loaded back in. Should have good performance gains in places like the East Luminant where there's a lot of static spawns across a big map
⚙️ Optimized how static spawns check for nearby players, now uses the chunk system
🩹 Fixed npcs having shadow vents
🩹 Fixed richtext markup on equipment in the rest UI
🩹 Fixed Aelita and her clones using the old version of her outfit during the event in the Valley of Heroes
🩹 Fixed Adretian Maudet tattoos not being coloured correctly for most variants
🩹 Fixed Duke of Erisia dungeon entry not spawning in the minions at the correct location, making the dungeon inaccessible
Just a small patch this week as we're hard at work on getting Hallowtide and the other roadmap milestones shipshape.

🩹 Fixed book glossary entries not being updated if you already clicked them in a session
🩹 Fixed glossary entries that appear in books/dialogue failing to be recognised and hyperlinked. Would happen for terms with multiple aliases
🩹 Fixed glossary terms in single-quotes not being recognised and hyperlinked
🩹 Fixed some edgecases where glossary terms wouldn't be recognised
🩹 Fixed unlocking further details in a glossary entry not persisting between aliases of a term. For example, if you found out something new in the 'Authority' entry it wouldn't necessarily transfer over to your entry for the 'Central Authority', even though they both displayed as the same term
Small patch this week as we've been busy releasing a lot of hotfixes throughout the week for the new origin. More Authority missions are in development, as well as more QoL and bugfixes for the Faction.

Verse 3 Chapter 1: "Duskguard"
💡 New Origin: Authority Ensign. Defeat Titus or obtain Hero reputation with the Central Authority to unlock
💡 New Faction: Central Authority. Accessible by starting with the Authority Ensign origin. Ascend through the Authority's ranks, choose a division, and unlock unique abilities and gear
📰 The waves continue to rise. Tensions in the East mount as the land subsides, the struggle for territory more desperate than ever. Much of the Eastern Luminant has changed with the tides, opening up new paths to find
💡 New Faction Weapons & Equipment
💡 18 New Faction Talents
💡 3 New Faction Mantras
💡 Added a cast of 11 new Authority-adjacent NPCs in the environs of Fort Merit
💡 New Ambient Track: "Wardens Of The Valiant Dead", by Naktigonis
Movement Refresh
🔧 Modernised many movement animations and added transitions for others
⏫ You can now air dash into a slide
🔧 Air Dash VFX updated
🔧 Sprinting while shift-locked now has your character face your movement direction instead of your camera direction. Helps you perform parkour while shift-locked
🔧 Moving quickly now subtly adjusts your FOV to help indicate your change in speed. This can be disabled in settings
🔧 Camera Smoothing is now an option in settings, disabled by default. Smooths out camera and focuses on torso movement
Balancing
⏫ Unconscious humanoid mobs now have a counter for damage sustained while KO'd. Once they sustain more than 25% of their max health in damage, they're automatically executed. This counter depletes over time while conscious. The idea here is that you don't have to go around executing crowds of enemies one by one, which is especially annoying in the earlygame. This makes it so non-flamecharmers get to do PvE without having to manually kill every humanoid mob
⏫ Removed the action-locking 'flourish' instant execute when you hit a humanoid enemy with a weapon attack greater than 25% of their max HP. Now it'll instakill without locking your actions like it did for attacks greater than 50%. This flourish execute just felt bad and slowed the flow of combat to a halt
⏫ Non-weapon attacks can now instakill humanoid enemies if their damage is greater than 25% of the enemy's max HP
💣 Mercy Kill is now innate
⚖️ Mantras that only start ticking down their CD when on solid ground now have this behavior even when feinted/cancelled. Fixes abuseable mantra feints like Needle Barrage
⚖️ Tillian's Beret now gives +10 Ether. HP reduced (7 -> 3)
⏬ Iron Slam base damage lowered
Bugfixes & Optimization
⚙️ Remodelled and greatly optimized the different trees in the world. Trees were a huge impact on part count so cheaper trees means more room for new map areas
🩹 Fixed being able to wallclip with executes
🩹 Disabled collisions on campfires to fix using them to cheese
🩹 Fixed a dupe glitch with Packmule boon
🩹 Fixed a rare bug where you could wipe if you died while teleporting between servers
🩹 Fixed all elevators giving iframes
🩹 Fixed NPC gestures not playing on anything but initial (greeting) dialogue
🩹 Reduced how long your character was recognized as sprinting for (caused issues where you would stop running and would still do a running light attack)
Hotfixes
⏫ Improved rank point rewards for all successful missions
⏫ Improved EXP gain for all successful missions
⏫ Lowered reqs for Inquisitor division
🩹 Fixed various issues with missions
🩹 Your squad is now cleared if you leave the game
🩹 Added more execution lines to Warden Jericho sentencing you to death
🩹 Fixed the hair on Raphael and Rashet trying to escape towards the Heavens
🩹 Fixed being able to wield certain weapons without requirements
🩹 Fixed mission mobs not despawning on mission end
🩹 Fixed world event map markers
🩹 Fixed Inquisitor talents not being rollable
💡 Slightly tweaked Warmaster's Medallions model
💡 Horn of Authority can now be used to call out of enemies of authority
💡 You now get exp from jailing as an Authority Ensign
💡 Adretian Aegis now recolors uniquely for the Leadership division, colors have also been slightly tweaked to be more aligned with your division.
⏫ Increased maximum mission durations
⏫ Increased time allowed for travelling to and from missions
⏫ Missions now give a lot more attribute training EXP
🩹 Fixed not getting your division mantra. You can revisit your division recruiter to get the mantra if you missed it
🩹 Fixed not being able to reach Seneschal rank
🩹 Fixed Dread Whisper's windup animation
🩹 Fixed Alloyed Cavalry Saber
🩹 Fixed Providence Coats materials being inconsistent
🩹 Fixed a few authority origin talents not showing up
🩹 Fixed Inquisitor's Greatsword, Inquisitor's Thorn, and Central Dirk not working with Oppressive Force
🩹 Fixed Oppressive Force doing insane PvE damage
🩹 Fixed squads resetting on death
🩹 Fixed Capture Prisoner mission not spawning
⏫ Buster Call Buffed
⚖️ Resonances are now disabled when cuffed
🩹 Fixed character creation sometimes failing to teleport you
🩹 Fixed Celtor Guard dialogue
🩹 Fixed Hallowtide executes
🩹 Fixed the Ferryman's defeat dialogue
🩹 Fixed the tutorial
🩹 Fixed getting the Capture Prisoner mission even though there's no prisoners to capture
🩹 Starkindred's Death From Above now cancels when you get hit
🩹 Fixed exiled players still being able to cuff others
🩹 Gripping a fellow faction member now only exiles you if you execute them
🩹 Fixed being able to extract Rite of Authority's crit

Movement Revert
Following community polling, we've reverted almost all of the changes to movement. A few changes have been kept as they don't impact the feel of movement, and these are listed below.
🔧 All sources of velocity have been reverted back to the old movement system. This covers all core movement mechanics, as well as rushes like Ceaseless Slashes. Movement is back to its snappy self and shouldn't feel so floaty. A lot of these should actually work on moving ships now, but we'll fix up the remainder over time
📰 The improved ledgehang algorithm has been kept as it just improves reliability and doesn't really change the feel of the movement
📰 Water resistance has been kept as most mobility was artificially adding it before the changes anyway
📰 The input changes have been kept as they just make the movement more intuitive. For example, being able to climb up ledges with input other than W is staying. If there's demand, we can add settings for the input behavior
📰 If movement still doesn't feel right to you, don't worry! It shouldn't stay that way. We're gonna be listening very closely to feedback on movement in the coming weeks and wanna make sure everything's back to how it felt before
🩹 Fixed a few edgecases where you could get flung or voided
🩹 Fixed not being able to initiate a slidejump in midair
🩹 Fixed slide jumps at max momentum not ending with a short slide when you land
🔧 Your character now has a maximum velocity, helping to prevent flings. This is simply a safety limit and shouldn't affect any intentional movement

⏬ Glacial Arc now prevents the use of Mantras for 10s outside of Layer 2 (Glacial Arc is pending a rework so this will be temporary)

Crafting Revamp
💡 Recipes you have the materials for now have a craft button, saving the hassle of clicking and dragging
💡 If an item is in your Recipe Book, you can right-click it to view recipes for it
💡 The Recipe Book now has a search bar to search for specific ingredients or products
💡 The Recipe Book now shows partial recipes for undiscovered recipes if you've discovered all but one of the required ingredients. Partial recipes show their products as '???', but this indicates that there's actually a recipe to be discovered. Any undiscovered ingredients are also shown as '???'. Partial recipes should hopefully help alleviate the frustration of trial and error when we add new recipes to the game, and should make crafting a bit more intuitive for new players. NOTE: Quest recipes like bombs and bait are still hidden until their quests are completed
💡 Your character summary, talents, and recipe books are now accessed through a tab system. This will let us expand the menus in future
🔧 Recipes that produce multiple of an item now show the quantity produced in your recipe book
🔧 Items you have are now highlighted in crafting recipes
🔧 You can now hide the old crafting window in settings to make more room for your inventory
Content & Systems
💡 New Recipe: Scholar's Brew. Crafted with a mantra ingredient and any mushroom. Grants training to elemental attributes below 50. Especially useful for those looking to train elements without having a Mantra of said element yet
💡 You can now unslot motifs by right-clicking your weapon tool
🔧 Greatly increased the game's brightness in dark areas
🔧 Backpack categories are now hidden in sell mode if no items are sellable in them
Balancing & Tweaks
⚖️ Characters under Power 10 now spawn within the walls of Celtor when sent to the Depths. The idea here is that it separates the high level Depths gankers and endgame players from earlygame players
⚖️ Leaving the Depths with an Idol of Yun'Shul is now only possible once per character. Having a banked supply of idols basically let you avoid ever wiping
⚖️ Leaving the Depths through the Shrine of Yun'Shul is now only possible once per character. Now that you can stockpile wishes, you could trivialise the Depths this way. It should be noted that the one-time use for idols is separate to this, so you get a free escape once per method
⚖️ Using an uppercut now clears your Heavy M1 Hyperarmor. Heavy hyperarmor is meant to compensate for slow swingspeeds, but uppercuts have a fixed swingspeed, so this change limits the hyperarmor to M1's that actually warrant it
⚖️ Critical windup swirl particles are now handled by the telegraph system and now reliably match the duration of the windup. They've also been toned down a bit to reduce visual clutter
⚖️ Titus's Raiment physical armor increased back to 30%, Overwhelming Might no longer works with Tableflip or Skyshatter Kick
⚖️ Reduced the insane range of Terrapod attacks
⏫ Ready or Not works as actually described now. Previously it required both players to be in combat instead of just the user of the talent
⏫ The following have gotten a pip upgrade (example: rare pip placed by a legendary pip): Ascended/Western Outlaw Robes/Hat, Evanspear/Reinforced Plate/Helm, Specialist/Shock Trooper Helmet
⏬ Gran Sudaruska total crit multiplier damage reduced by 30%
⏬ While being pulled in Reversal Spark Flaming Scourge, gain brief iframes so you are not hit as you are being pulled in
⏬ Rockmaller now has endlag on the ground crit (0.15s). Now also has proper telegraphing
⏬ Rockmaller aerial crit now has a minimum 0.4s windup. The airtime has also been made more consistent and better telegraphed
🔧 Mobs that are ready to despawn that are currently KO'd are instantly killed instead of hanging around
🩹 Fixed Viscosity bypassing Resonance activation
🩹 Fixed Viscosity damage over time ticks individually applying damage effects like knockback
🩹 Fixed Fleeting Sparks often not activating correctly, believing that there were walls between you and your target
Bugfixes & Optimization
🩹 Fixed Air Dashes being a lot shorter than intended
🩹 Fixed grab moves self-hitting if you hit a destructible structure
🩹 Fixed lasers in Detainment Core and other sources of environmental damage not working
🩹 Fixed mobs that are being executed deaggroing (e.g. due to their event ending) mid-execute. This caused a rare bug where the executor would take fall damage due to the mob being unloaded suddenly
🩹 Fixed mobs that are made peaceful only deaggroing from their current target, and not other enemies who've attacked them but less recently
🩹 Made executions a lot less temperamental in general
🩹 Fixed Roblox's chat bar interfering with keybinds
🩹 Fixed summoned cauldrons defying gravity
🩹 Fixed missing Highway Markers in East Luminant
🩹 Fixed Lightning Impact not taking you in the air
🩹 Disguise now uses the new Campfire model
🩹 Fixed residual bugs with Trial of One
🩹 Fixed monsters hiding their animations when they extinguish flames

September 15th, 2025
Content & Systems
📰 A bit of a smaller update this week content-wise as we had a midweek patch and have been working on fixing all of the bugs that have cropped up in the last few weeks. Behind the scenes, we're gonna be applying a lot more caution to major reworks, but the good news is that most of the core systems are in a much better state now (barring the bugs, but these are a priority right now), so we'll be able to put more of our time towards actually adding stuff to the game.
💡 Added Equipment Editing. Right-click Head, Face, or Ears equipment in your journal to open up an editor that lets you move and rotate them around to your liking. Endless new drip opportunities await!
💡 Sev can now be given 25 Crowns to permanently unlock 'Manycolored Equipment', letting you edit your equipment's color freely on any character without needing to spend Dye Packets. NOTE: This applies to Equipment only. Hair dyes and other cosmetic dyes still require packets.
💡 Updated Jeremiah's lootpool
🔧 Deep Gems can now be equipped out of combat just by using the tool, no longer requiring you to rest
🔧 When not in danger, you can now right-click your Mantras to unequip their deep gems
🔧 Shrine of Chance now uses the shop interface for its deals
🔀 The Shrine of Ostentation has been merged into the Shrine of Chance
💡 The Global Cauldron Shortage has finally come to an end
Movement Tweaks & Fixes
🔀 Air Dashes have been reverted to the old movement system, but have received updates to work on moving ships
🩹 Fixed roll cancels killing your vertical mobility
🩹 Fixed Starkindred airdashes and regular airdashes behaving the same
🩹 Fixed walking around in the Depths being a skating rink
🩹 Fixed mantling ledges in the Depths launching you upwards
🩹 Fixed being able to wallhug in the Depths
Visual Refresh
🔧 Lowered the default saturation/contrast of the game's lighting. Should make it less painful to see in the dark and bring the game's visuals a bit more in line with how they were a long time ago
🔧 Campfires have been revamped visually. Placing campfires is much less temperamental too, no longer requiring you to precisely click on the floor next to you
🔧 Lumber Axes have been slightly remodelled and now have the appropriate telegraphs for their attacks. Trees now shake slightly when you chop them
🔧 Remodelled Deep Shrines to be considerably more performant
🔧 Remodelled Cauldrons, bringing a 11k tri model down to just 770 tris and greatly reducing the number of parts. Also reworked their vfx
🔧 Remodelled sticks to be considerably leess laggy
🔧 Remodelled Trident Spear slightly, now has PBR textures. We'll likely be adding PBR texture to most weapons in the future, as they look better and let us reduce the performance impact of highly detailed weapons
🔧 Threshers have received a new lick of paint and some touchups to their model. In addition to looking better, the new textures respond a lot better to lighting, making them easier to read in combat. More mobs will get visual upgrades soon!
🔧 Added textures to a lot of equipment in the game that didn't have any, e.g. Leather Pauldrons
Balancing & Tweaks
⏫ Blindseer now has an additional Combat Slot
⏫ Blood Poison's natural decay rate reduced by 33%
⏫ Etherguard duration increase
⏫ Panacea Blood Poison paused increased from 5 to 7 seconds
⏫ Smell of Blood now procs on opponents whenever you guardbreak them
⚖️ The obscure mechanic where taking any damage at 100% Posture would guardbreak you has been removed. For a while, people thought this was a bug, but it was just a very old holdover combat mechanic
⚖️ The extra stun incurred from being hit while in the guardbroken state has been downgraded from being a full action-locking stun with an animation to just being a regular stun. The sound for this extra stun has been pitched up to help indicate it. The duration has been lowered also (0.65s -> 0.6s)
⚖️ Campfires are now destructible structures and can be destroyed by regular attacks
⚖️ Reduced the base Knowledge cost of degrading a Rare talent to a Common talent (10 -> 5)
⏬ Bloodfouler's Blood Poison from criticals massively reduced (reason being here that Blood Poison as a whole got buffed, so we don't want Bloodfouler to massively perform with these blood buffs)
⏬ Iron Quills cooldown now scales off its range modifications
🔧 Mobs can now use Red Death sprinting critical
🔧 Ice surface area now scales up linearly instead of exponentially with its intensity
🔧 Deep Gems now have tooltips explaining their effects

📰 A bit of a smaller update this week content-wise as we had a midweek patch and have been working on fixing all of the bugs that have cropped up in the last few weeks. Behind the scenes, we're gonna be applying a lot more caution to major reworks, but the good news is that most of the core systems are in a much better state now (barring the bugs, but these are a priority right now), so we'll be able to put more of our time towards actually adding stuff to the game.
💡 Added Equipment Editing. Right-click Head, Face, or Ears equipment in your journal to open up an editor that lets you move and rotate them around to your liking. Endless new drip opportunities await!
💡 Sev can now be given 25 Crowns to permanently unlock 'Manycolored Equipment', letting you edit your equipment's color freely on any character without needing to spend Dye Packets. NOTE: This applies to Equipment only. Hair dyes and other cosmetic dyes still require packets.
💡 Updated Jeremiah's lootpool
🔧 Deep Gems can now be equipped out of combat just by using the tool, no longer requiring you to rest
🔧 When not in danger, you can now right-click your Mantras to unequip their deep gems
🔧 Shrine of Chance now uses the shop interface for its deals
🔀 The Shrine of Ostentation has been merged into the Shrine of Chance
💡 The Global Cauldron Shortage has finally come to an end
Movement Tweaks & Fixes
🔀 Air Dashes have been reverted to the old movement system, but have received updates to work on moving ships
🩹 Fixed roll cancels killing your vertical mobility
🩹 Fixed Starkindred airdashes and regular airdashes behaving the same
🩹 Fixed walking around in the Depths being a skating rink
🩹 Fixed mantling ledges in the Depths launching you upwards
🩹 Fixed being able to wallhug in the Depths
Visual Refresh
🔧 Lowered the default saturation/contrast of the game's lighting. Should make it less painful to see in the dark and bring the game's visuals a bit more in line with how they were a long time ago
🔧 Campfires have been revamped visually. Placing campfires is much less temperamental too, no longer requiring you to precisely click on the floor next to you
🔧 Lumber Axes have been slightly remodelled and now have the appropriate telegraphs for their attacks. Trees now shake slightly when you chop them
🔧 Remodelled Deep Shrines to be considerably more performant
🔧 Remodelled Cauldrons, bringing a 11k tri model down to just 770 tris and greatly reducing the number of parts. Also reworked their vfx
🔧 Remodelled sticks to be considerably leess laggy
🔧 Remodelled Trident Spear slightly, now has PBR textures. We'll likely be adding PBR texture to most weapons in the future, as they look better and let us reduce the performance impact of highly detailed weapons
🔧 Threshers have received a new lick of paint and some touchups to their model. In addition to looking better, the new textures respond a lot better to lighting, making them easier to read in combat. More mobs will get visual upgrades soon!
🔧 Added textures to a lot of equipment in the game that didn't have any, e.g. Leather Pauldrons
Balancing & Tweaks
⏫ Blindseer now has an additional Combat Slot
⏫ Blood Poison's natural decay rate reduced by 33%
⏫ Etherguard duration increase
⏫ Panacea Blood Poison paused increased from 5 to 7 seconds
⏫ Smell of Blood now procs on opponents whenever you guardbreak them
⚖️ The obscure mechanic where taking any damage at 100% Posture would guardbreak you has been removed. For a while, people thought this was a bug, but it was just a very old holdover combat mechanic
⚖️ The extra stun incurred from being hit while in the guardbroken state has been downgraded from being a full action-locking stun with an animation to just being a regular stun. The sound for this extra stun has been pitched up to help indicate it. The duration has been lowered also (0.65s -> 0.6s)
⚖️ Campfires are now destructible structures and can be destroyed by regular attacks
⚖️ Reduced the base Knowledge cost of degrading a Rare talent to a Common talent (10 -> 5)
⏬ Bloodfouler's Blood Poison from criticals massively reduced (reason being here that Blood Poison as a whole got buffed, so we don't want Bloodfouler to massively perform with these blood buffs)
⏬ Iron Quills cooldown now scales off its range modifications
🔧 Mobs can now use Red Death sprinting critical
🔧 Ice surface area now scales up linearly instead of exponentially with its intensity
🔧 Deep Gems now have tooltips explaining their effects
🩹 Fixed Flashboil being able to proc through block, parry, and dodge
🩹 Fixed certain damage reductions like Entangled being applied doubly to Viscosity
Bugfixes & Optimization

September 6th, 2025
The "Rock the Boat" Update
💡 A new physics-based character controller has been added to the game
🔧 Your momentum is now preserved when you jump/leave the ground, meaning you don't just immediately fall like a rock as soon as you let go of your inputs
🔧 Since momentum is preserved, you no longer fall off ships when you jump/move around on the ship. This means combat on moving ships is finally approaching viable. This is the first and most important step to actually making ships fun and giving them new content and mechanics
🔧 The new controller is far more reliable, so you should see a LOT less of the weird things characters do on Roblox that most of us have just had to get used to. There's a lot more opportunities for us to finetune and tweak the controller. Previously we were stuck with a character controller that we could barely adjust the parameters on. Now, we can actually treat it as a system to be improved and not a black box where if something goes wrong we can't do anything
💡 Dashing backwards in midair now performs a flip that greatly reduces your velocity, letting you recover from knockback
💡 Ledge hangs have been reworked to have much better ledge detection
🔧 Ledge hang inputs are now based on whether you're moving towards/away from the ledge and not based on W/S inputs specifically
🔧 Most parkour now no longer resets your horizontal momentum, letting you freely move around moving ships and conserve your speed while traversing the map
🔧 Mounts now work using the new character controller instead of having their own custom behavior. This should make them a fair bit smoother to travel with, as well as being controlled a lot more like your own character
🔧 Camera Lock character rotation is now constrained by physics like other character movement/turning. Fixes some issues where character movement would be janky while camera locked
🔧 Greatly improved vault/mantle detection
🔧 Swimming behaves a lot more consistently on shores and slopes, with it now being possible to just walk out of the sea if a slope is present instead of having to walljump
⚖️ Thanks to the new character physics, water mobility now acts like ground mobility. As such, all water-specific mobility nerfs have been reduced
⚖️ Jumping now has a very short cooldown (0.05s) after landing to fix some issues where your character wouldn't be on the ground long enough for certain effects to register
⏫ Ships slow down to a halt much more quickly when unoccupied. Watching your ship slowly sail off into the distance isn't fun
🩹 Rewrote a lot of the math behind ships. Ships now rock with the waves a lot more smoothly and should have a LOT less jank to them in general
🔀 Triathlete has been removed with the changes to movement in water. If you had it, you'll be refunded a hand of talents
Progression Improvements
⏫ The total EXP required to reach Power 20 and invest all of your points has been reduced by 10%. Additionally, the EXP curve has been made MUCH less steep towards the end, making the gap between points in the lategame a lot less agonising
⏫ The EXP rewards for most quests now scale with your current level, keeping them relevant
⚖️ Shrine of Order no longer gives you an additional flaw. The idea here is that going forwards with the new way of balancing SoO builds they should be on more even footing than before, so shouldn't realistically need a handicap thrown on. As it stands, we feel that the current nerfs to SoO have been sufficient to level the playing field. But going forwards, if certain talents are garbage on SoO builds we can buff them, and if in the future they end up being too powercreepy we can nerf them. We appreciate y'all's feedback on the changes and wanna find a balance where SoO isn't mandatory OR pointless
📰 If you have a character that used the Shrine of Order before this update, one of your flaws will be automatically removed, and you can revisit the Shrine of Order to unlock the commemorative 'Pendant of Order' item. The medal can be retrieved as a seasonal item from blacksmiths
🔧 Instead of having to buy a Dinghy every character you now start with one already in your shipyard

Note on New Movement
📰 Please note that the new character controller's movement is still a work in progress. Dashes/slides/walljumps/etc. are likely to feel a bit different. We're going to be finetuning it in the coming days, so if anything feels off in meantime, don't worry, it likely won't stay like that!
🔧 Camera lock turning is instant again
🔧 Sources of velocity like dash/slide/etc. now instantaneously change your velocity on application instead of having to wait for them to apply the necessary forces to change to the new velocity. This should restore a lot of the feeling of old movement
🩹 Fixed momentum from dashes hanging for too long. Especially noticeable in the Depths

💡 Added Bluestone Boots and Bluestone Pauldrons as crafting upgrades
💡 New Chrysid Variant: Augur
💡 New Chrysid Variant: Messenger
💡 New Fishing Drop
💡 Added 'Full Trainings'. Similar to 'Free Points/Free Trainings', these let you train an attribute instantly. The difference, however, is that where Free Trainings leave you at an EXP deficit that you have to catch up on, Full Trainings grant you the required EXP. This makes Full Trainings very valuable, as they let you actually fast-forward your progression. Trial of One and a few quests/challenges now reward Full Trainings
💡 Full/Free trainings can now be spent in your TAB menu Journal, no longer requiring you to rest
💡 When you combat tag another player, an icon of crossed swords now pops up. You can click the swords to open up a dropdown menu with options for clearing combat tags. Should prevent you getting flagged for spamming 'mb all', and makes it a lot more intuitive
💡 Added a right-click context menu to your weapon tool that lets you change your stance or unequip your current offhand weapon. No more needing to start a forest fire just to unglue the gun from your hand
💡 Added a new teleport transition screen

Bugfixes & Optimization
⚙️ Greatly optimized EXP systems. Should help with lag in combat
🩹 Fixed being able to get 1 in an element at Power 20 with 0 points left by unlocking the element. Element is still unlocked account-wide, but you won't be able to get the element on the character
🩹 Fixed dashing/rolling putting your walljumps on CD. Behavior is now that dashing/rolling extends the CD if it's active but doesn't create a CD
🩹 Fixed Flame Wisp gluing itself to campfires
🩹 Fixed irregularities with the circle placement of Teleportation resonance once again
🩹 Fixed not being able to manually cancel Serpent's Edge, Hero's Blade of Frost, Pyre Keeper, Imperial Staff, Crescendo, Hailbreaker and Rosen's Hellflame criticals
🩹 Fixed not being able to throw Potions and Bombs at all
🩹 Fixed Skyward Vent Husk teleport dropping you above the ocean
🩹 Fixed the weird offset on Autobrew slots
🩹 Fixed tooltips lingering after what you're hovering is no longer visible
🩹 Fixed tooltips not updating on overlapping UI elements even if one is displayed on top of the other
🩹 Fixed walljump CD being too low
🩹 Fixed Illusion Clones not copying vent properly (They only vent when you do)
🩹 Fixed Galetrap
🩹 Fixed being able to apply Enchant Grease in Layer 2
🩹 Fixed Enchant Grease not granting 'Soulbound an Item' triumph
🩹 Fixed lingering training UI state
🩹 Fixed attribute editing in character creation
🩹 Fixed To1 softlock
⚖️ Posture recovery from parrying naturally increased by around 50%. Due to all the posture nerfs recently (posture talents, spits, exhaustion strike, etc), we are now a lot more comfortable letting parries become stronger for removing posture. This should help to deal with a lot of playstyles that abuse being able to hit block (examples being airswinging/fighting a mage). The idea being that you can simply parry back your posture instead of overly relying upon things like spits and Unwavering Resolve. Naturally, the balance here is something we're gonna keep a close eye on
⏬ Destructive Recovery reduced from 50% to 20% (makes sure it's not extremely busted with the above change)
⚖️ Health regeneration buffs now stack additively instead of multiplicatively, much like damage multipliers. Previously, having a 20% (1.2x) regen buff and another 100% (2x) regen buff would result in a cumulative regeneration buff of 2.4x. With this change, the cumulative regeneration buff would be 2.2x instead for this example
⏬ Dagger critical hits no longer simultaneously count as Basic Attacks (M1s)
🔧 Heart of Enmity's minimum range to automatically parry ranged attacks has been doubled, which should prevent melee-range mantras from getting parried. Projectiles will still be deflected regardless of distance
🔧 Guild renames now preview the new name before prompting a purchase
🔧 Moved an arguably unreachable Medallion Chest to a more accessible location
🩹 Fixed not being able to remotely exile players that have usernames with more than 20 characters
🩹 Fixed Critical Engine coupled with Blessed Gem removing weapon critical cooldowns almost immediately after landing a hit if the critical applies its proper cooldown only after the critical ends
🩹 Fixed Soul Beam not being rollable
🩹 Fully patched infinite climbing
🩹 Fixed player list / leaderboard staying permanently invisible after opening the backpack
🩹 Fixed player combat tags counting as PvE combat tags and boss combat tags not getting applied properly. This also fixes boss health bars not showing up and attunements not getting uncapped from killing bosses
🩹 Fixed boss health bars not showing up
🩹 Actually fixed Aegis Gem not being bankable
🩹 Fixed every player that didnt have W rank having rank 250-1000 color in the leaderboard
🩹 Fixed adding mantra modifiers not taking the existing Ether cost into account. Previously, you were able to add a single ingredient to an already modified mantra to lower its Ether Cost without removing the existing modifiers
🩹 Fixed a good number of quests / NPC interactions and fishing not granting their EXP rewards

Improved Update Releases
📰 Our update testing and publishing flow has been overhauled from the ground up. Updates for the game now have a multistage process where first the update is pushed out to an identical copy of the live game and tested, and then once testing is satisfactory the update is pushed out to the actual live game.
This is a huge improvement to our previous way of testing updates, where everything was ultimately tested on a baseplate. It was practically a weekly occurence that something would work fine on the baseplate and go catastrophically wrong when pushed to the main game. There's plenty of edgecases that pop up when you're not specifically testing an update on the exact areas it's going to affect.
This of course begs the question 'What on gods green earth possessed you to test everything on a baseplate?', and the answer to that is a classic one: tech limitations. Publishing large games on Roblox isn't without its pain points, and up until very recently we didn't have any way of rapidly publishing an update to multiple different places. If you can believe it, even as recently as 2023, every update we had to open up every single place in studio and manually drag-and-drop the source code into each individual place and hit publish... And if anything went wrong, we had to do that all over again 💀. Thankfully, things have moved along considerably since then, with Roblox developers gaining access to some really powerful API. In order for us to implement a multi-stage release process like this, we truly had to sit and wait for it to be possible.
Now, we can actually test updates in an identical environment to the main game, which should greatly reduce the number of gamebreaking issues that pop up, and greatly improve the tools available to testers to find issues with the game. It also enables us to make changes to individual places within the game (e.g. editing a dungeon) without running the risk of breaking the game.
Behind the scenes, we're also investigating ways of automating some of our testing. Testing thousands of different abilities every update is more testing than is humanly possible, so we're working on ways of avoiding things like individual Mantras breaking between updates.
TL;DR: Updates should be a lot less buggy going forwards.

🔧 Variants can now be selected with a dropdown
🔧 You can now manually cancel Sovereign State
🔧 Imperium Kata now shares the same LFT Interaction as Legion Kata
🔧 Increased the default max zoom distance slightly
🔧 The maximum steepness you can walk up has been increased, the steepness change was too strict

Merges & Removals
💣 Return to the Dark Ages has been removed, if you had it you'll get a hand of talents back. With SoO builds receiving a nerf, attunementless builds have crept in power, and RtDA was one of the top contributors of attunementless strength and tankiness. On attunementless builds, it had very little downside as most of these builds weren't getting their damage from mantras. The idea here is to not tip the scales too firmly in attunementless's favour with the nerfs to SoO builds, as many will remember they were the dominant meta before shrine builds took off
Balancing
⚖️ You can now spawn boats in PvE combat
⚖️ Fixed backstab checks on summons using the summoner's position. For example, Metal Turret won't hit through your block if you block in the direction of the turret
⚖️ Pale Briar can no longer travel through walls
⚖️ The damage penalty for wielding a weapon below its requirements now scales with how far below the requirements you are instead of being a flat 35% reduction
⚖️ World Serpent's dive cooldown increased from 30 seconds to 90 seconds
⚖️ The following talents now scale with their corresponding attributes or have less effectiveness if you don't have the stats for them: Cornered Fool, Pursuit, Cut To The Chase, Crippling Comeuppance, Down Comes the Claw, Maiming Claws, Audacity, Golden Tongue, Overflowing Dam, Defiance, Underdog, Lasting Charisma, Piercing Will, Shared Misery, Twelve Steps Ahead, Cult of Personality, Broken Ankles, Unnecessary Theatrics, Foolish Outburst, Manipulator, Cheap Shot, Heretic's Sutra, Exoskeleton, To The Finish, You'll Need To Get Past Me, Knuckle Guard, Dancing Guard, Down to you Level, Defensive Reprisal (NOTE: a lot of these are only slight adjustments for consistency and to incentivise having the full req)
⚖️ Threshers now use their dig much less frequently if their opponent isn't that far away
⚖️ Threshers now use their tailwhip more often if their opponent is blocking
⚖️ Reduced posture damage of Thresher physical attacks. However, Threshers now deal chip damage on their claw/bite attacks
⏫ Jobs now give 2x Attribute Training
⏫ Jobs now have an additional flat EXP bonus on top for completing them to help pad out events that don't give as much EXP. This bonus scales with your Power, keeping it relevant
⏫ Collapsed Lung can now last up to 7 seconds
⏫ Dancing guard duration increased from 3 to 7 seconds
⏫ Defensive Reprisal duration increased from 5 to 20 seconds
⏫ Down to your Level duration increased from 2 to 5 seconds

⏫ Maiming Claws max duration buffed from 4 to 6 seconds
⏫ Chrysid's innate Mothwing Dust now grants them a narrower angle at which they can be backstabbed

⏬ Master's Flourish level up damage decreased by 25%
⏬ Master's Flourish windup increased from .45 to .525
⏬ Vigil's Grace reduced from 0.03 to 0.02
Bugfixes & Optimization
🩹 Fixed a longstanding issue where getting parried would grant brief autoparry frames against some abilities. Both players and mobs were affected, so if a Thresher ever parried you, this was why
🩹 Fixed a LOT of spots in the Etrean Luminant where events could spawn in walls or in unreachable locations. This was achieved by basically hijacking the event spawn algorithm and altering it to highlight potentially unreachable areas, so there should be a LOT fewer of these spots
🩹 Events/jobs will no longer spawn on very steep slopes
🩹 Fixed being able to void players and mobs by going into a Guild Base or otherwise teleporting far away after using Teleportation Resonance
🩹 Fixed events/jobs spawning in trees
🩹 Fixed getting guardbroken not breaking your Chain of Perfection
🩹 Fixed job markers flickering out of view
🩹 Fixed cancelling jobs
🩹 Fixed monster walk anims overriding their swimming anims
🩹 Fixed monsters rapidly backing up away from your swings
🩹 Fixed a memory leak that occurred when freefalling
🩹 Fixed a variety of VFX that could interfere with mouse aiming
🩹 Fixed Dual Guns not being able to Running Attack
🩹 Fixed Irithine scaling twice in PvE, causing massive damage
🩹 Fixed Metal Wisp turret ability taking charges away from Blood Wisp if you have both summoned
🩹 Fixed not being able to cancel Stormseye Critical
🩹 Fixed not being able to carry knocked characters
🩹 Fixed Sovereign State Critical triggering anti-exploit behavior
🩹 Point of Interest markers no longer show up on your screen unless nearby (map poi markers still have infinite range)
🩹 Fixed main menu not displaying aspects properly
🩹 Fixed main menu patch notes sometimes being out of date
⚙️ Loading speeds for the main menu have been greatly increased
⚙️ When anchored, ships sway more smoothly and with less clientside lag
⏫ Underdog WLL req reduced (40 -> 30). Formula has been adjusted to be less punishing for those under reqs. Scaling starts at 2% with 20 WLL, and scales up to 4% at 60 WLL
🩹 Fixed Underdog scaling being too high
🩹 Damage over Time effects like Deferred, Viscosity, Irithine Poison, Bleed now use a unified system that fixes some inconsistencies and has built-in guards against scaling/damage mod issues
🩹 Fixed Curse of the Bloodthirsty Enchant visuals not appearing for sheathed weapons
🩹 Fixed infinite climbing with Chained Ring
🩹 Fixed Rhythm Advance preventing you from attacking and performing other actions for a full minute after use

Get a Job: The Job Rework
💡 The Job mechanic has been reworked. Instead of walking around in a circle and hoping you'll stumble into a job, jobs now have locations attached to them that you travel to. Once you reach the job destination, the job event will start nearby
💡 Added Event Hotspots. Setpieces and areas of interest across the world now act as magnets for random events and jobs. If an event would spawn nearby to an event hotspot, it'll spawn at the hotspot instead. The benefit of having hotspots act as magnets is that if no hotspots are nearby, you aren't starved of events, they'll just spawn like they do at the moment. This makes random events feel a lot less random, makes for better fighting terrain, and gives interesting places in the overworld a reason to be checked out. TL;DR events spawn in cooler places more often, and you should see less spawning halfway up a random tree or perched on top of a giant spike.
💡 Jobs are now visible on your Map UI and can be seen with an indicator once you're close enough
💡 Mobs that are the target of a job you've taken now have an indicator that flashes above their head once they aggro onto you
💡 Added a right-click option for objectives to view them on your map
💡 Job Posters now have tooltips
💡 Many random events have been made available as Jobs
🔧 Most random events and jobs will now spawn their reward chest next to one of the participants instead of where the event spawned in, saving a lot of tedious backtracking
🔧 Most faction events no longer spawn randomly and are jobs instead. No more being forced to kill the faction you're trying to gain rep with
🩹 Completing a job no longer completes all other jobs of the same type and region (i.e. job stacking)
Talent Reworks: Imperfect Casting
💡 Haunted Gale Rework: Landing 3 Galebreathe Mantras without whiffing calls forth a Haunted Phantom. The Phantom will attack alongside your Mantras for the next 8s before dissipating. These Mantras don't have to be Galebreathe, so hybrids are supported. Gale Wisp increases the duration of your Haunted Phantoms by 3s
💡 Jolt Cast Rework: Landing 3 Thundercall Mantras without whiffing reduces the windup of your next Mantra by 10%. Note that this Mantra doesn't have to be Thundercall, so hybrids are supported. Talent has been renamed to 'Windup Battery'
Removals & Merges
💣 'Perfect Casting' is no longer a mechanic. It didn't actually require any additional skill, it was basically just a knowledge gap. All mechanics/abilities that relied on Perfect Casts have now been reworked or simply made default behavior
💣 Anxious Guard has been removed as it didn't have any effect. If you had it you'll get a hand of talents back
Tweaks
🔧 Mantras can now be feinted with one input the same way Basic Attacks can be. Pressing/holding M1 first is no longer necessary unless your feint input is currently also bound to camera controls (i.e. you have feint bound to M2 and Camera Lock is off). You can now also double-press M2 to feint regardless of camera controls
🔧 The logic for determining if your character has landed on solid ground is now custom and doesn't allow you to land on surfaces that are too steep. This affects wall jumps and parkour, as their cooldown resets are based on this. The idea here is to prevent people from climbing up cliffs and to fix airdashing into walls to reset your parkour cooldowns
🔧 Job Boards, Craft Stations, Mantra Tables, and Gear Cabinets now automatically have PoI markers attached
🔧 Crafting recipe for Celestial Boots now obtainable
🔧 Gun telegraph sparkles have better timing
🔧 Saintsworn now dynamically updates the displayed element of your Mantras to match its current element
🔧 Lightning Impact now cancels sliding upon cast
🔧 Saintsworn no longer converts mantras outside of Wind/Lightning/Fire/Shadow/Ice
🔧 Shadow Blade of Saints dragging should feel more consistent
🔧 Silentheart LHT Rising Star now cancels if parried on first hit, no longer leaving you defenceless
🔧 Silentheart skills no longer count as poser ring procs (fixes Flow state mayhem not autogripping)
🔧 Cap Artist now clears all momentum when activated (outside of dungeons)
🔧 Ether Barrage, Shadow Hero Critical, Curved Blade Critical no longer holds you in the air
🔧 The Suncross and Moonseye now follow lore-accurate orbits

Community Questions Corner
Q: Will we see new guild ranks?
• We've been thinking about this! We'd love to expand the amount of control y'all have over your guild's structure, though the exact way this might manifest is still in the air. Let us know your thoughts!
Q: Any clues on what the Dread Serpent fight will look like post rework?
• Hopefully a lot less janky... We'd love to see the Dread Serpent play with its environment, though. The voidsea is kinda like an empty canvas!
Q: Any ideas on new weapon types?
• Pretty much anything that we can think of weapons and talents for! We've got a few ideas brewing on this front which we can hopefully release in the near future
Q: Any future meta progression to deep outside of echoes (or even an echo rework)?
• We'd love to expand on the amount of account-wide progression in Deep. Being able to work towards long-term goals without it just being an echo farm would be awesome. Echoes could probably do with a bit of a rework, too!
Q: Will there ever be a way to reroll aspects in game without robux?
• We'd like for rerolls to be earnable! Though it would probably need some limitations to prevent it being super farmable. It's no secret that Echoes are trivial to farm so it probably wouldn't be tied to them, but we're interested in what y'all think might work
Q: Is Void Tower still a priority?
• A Voidsea update with a good amount of replayability is a goal of ours, so even if it's not a tower specifically, the same ideas will be going towards whatever Voidsea content we cook up. That doesn't mean there can't be a tower, though, it just depends on what we manage to cover with each piece of content!
Q: Are there any plans to move forward with the lore of the world of Deepwoken? Will this be in the form of lore events or just happen with updates?
• The April Fools update in 2024 was actually a test of a system like this. If you don't remember it, we had players divided into different teams competing to get the highest score, with the winners getting a special badge. We've been thinking about possible events we could have the players directly influence, and it's definitely something we'd love to see
Q: When will we see some more in-game lore instead of looking through dev messages for statements?
• This is a focus of ours, and the answer is pretty much every week! We've been expanding the Glossary, and we've also been expanding the dialogue trees of NPC's to cover all the burning questions players often have about different areas of the lore. For example, have you noticed that the Celtor guards talk now? More books are on the way, too!
Q: Whats the future of Deepwoken looking like after the Saramaed Hollow rework?
• After Saramaed, we'd like to focus on the Voidsea. There's a lot of untapped potential in it and we'd love to bring back some of the horror and mystery to the game.
Q: Will we ever see another update as big as Verse 2 again?
• We've spoken about this before, but we feel that updates like Verse 2 that necessitate us holding other updates back result in a lot of delays. We'd rather have multiple large updates that release throughout the year, as opposed to one huge update that holds everything up for months and months. Verse 2 was also large enough that it required us to fork a lot of the codebase which led to a LOT of bugs and issues down the line.
Q: Will there ever be increased hotbar slots, maybe for talents?
• We don't want to encourage ability spam by adding more slots to spam through, so we've been considering adding slots that are limited to specific types of items/abilities. For example, we could add a slot that can only hold non-combat items. Let us know what you think!
Q: Will there ever be a chef oath?
• 😈

Community Questions Corner
Q: Will we see new guild ranks?
• We've been thinking about this! We'd love to expand the amount of control y'all have over your guild's structure, though the exact way this might manifest is still in the air. Let us know your thoughts!
Q: Any clues on what the Dread Serpent fight will look like post rework?
• Hopefully a lot less janky... We'd love to see the Dread Serpent play with its environment, though. The voidsea is kinda like an empty canvas!
Q: Any ideas on new weapon types?
• Pretty much anything that we can think of weapons and talents for! We've got a few ideas brewing on this front which we can hopefully release in the near future
Q: Any future meta progression to deep outside of echoes (or even an echo rework)?
• We'd love to expand on the amount of account-wide progression in Deep. Being able to work towards long-term goals without it just being an echo farm would be awesome. Echoes could probably do with a bit of a rework, too!
Q: Will there ever be a way to reroll aspects in game without robux?
• We'd like for rerolls to be earnable! Though it would probably need some limitations to prevent it being super farmable. It's no secret that Echoes are trivial to farm so it probably wouldn't be tied to them, but we're interested in what y'all think might work
Q: Is Void Tower still a priority?
• A Voidsea update with a good amount of replayability is a goal of ours, so even if it's not a tower specifically, the same ideas will be going towards whatever Voidsea content we cook up. That doesn't mean there can't be a tower, though, it just depends on what we manage to cover with each piece of content!
Q: Are there any plans to move forward with the lore of the world of Deepwoken? Will this be in the form of lore events or just happen with updates?
• The April Fools update in 2024 was actually a test of a system like this. If you don't remember it, we had players divided into different teams competing to get the highest score, with the winners getting a special badge. We've been thinking about possible events we could have the players directly influence, and it's definitely something we'd love to see
Q: When will we see some more in-game lore instead of looking through dev messages for statements?
• This is a focus of ours, and the answer is pretty much every week! We've been expanding the Glossary, and we've also been expanding the dialogue trees of NPC's to cover all the burning questions players often have about different areas of the lore. For example, have you noticed that the Celtor guards talk now? More books are on the way, too!
Q: Whats the future of Deepwoken looking like after the Saramaed Hollow rework?
• After Saramaed, we'd like to focus on the Voidsea. There's a lot of untapped potential in it and we'd love to bring back some of the horror and mystery to the game.
Q: Will we ever see another update as big as Verse 2 again?
• We've spoken about this before, but we feel that updates like Verse 2 that necessitate us holding other updates back result in a lot of delays. We'd rather have multiple large updates that release throughout the year, as opposed to one huge update that holds everything up for months and months. Verse 2 was also large enough that it required us to fork a lot of the codebase which led to a LOT of bugs and issues down the line.
Q: Will there ever be increased hotbar slots, maybe for talents?
• We don't want to encourage ability spam by adding more slots to spam through, so we've been considering adding slots that are limited to specific types of items/abilities. For example, we could add a slot that can only hold non-combat items. Let us know what you think!
Q: Will there ever be a chef oath?
• 😈

💡 New Equipment Talent: Cosmic Connection
💡 New Craftable Equipment: Celestial Boots
🔍 Famed Citadel professor Noelle Juno's theory regarding the recent scarcity of Star Boots has come to light, "due to Star Boots being a scarce resource, one which cannot be replaced at a sustainable rate of production to match the amount which are currently being lost and consumed, it is likely that the entire supply will be exhausted within the coming years." Following this, a mass of panic buying (along with an expedient cornering of the market by the Summer Company) cause the celestially-named shoes to disappear almost overnight
💡 New Pleeksty's Inferno 2H basic attack animations
💡 Added a system for dropdown menus that should let us expand the functionality of the interface easily
💡 Imperator's Fury model reworked
Merges & Removals
💡 Eureka Rework: Gain a stack of Inspiration every time you land or parry a Mantra. Whiffing a Mantra removes a stack of Inspiration. Reaching 3 stacks grants +10% Mantra Damage to your next Mantra attack
🔀 Ether Blade has been made base behavior with a few tweaks. If you had Ether Blade, you'll get a hand of talents refunded
🔀 Ether Conduit has been merged into Eureka. If you had Ether Conduit but have Eureka already, you'll get a hand of talents back instead
💣 The Sound from Below removed as it did nothing, talents no longer require it
💣 Trained Fist has been removed as it did nothing, talents no longer require it. Cestus still requires a Fist Style. For now.
Weapon Equip Overhaul
🩹 Overhauled Weapon equip logic to fix a lot of bugs and improve consistency. Should fix a lot of the issues with people stat-swapping their weapons, and also prevents data loss
⏫ Changing weapons no longer prevents you from equipping your weapon for anywhere near as long
⏫ Summoned weapons (e.g. Crazy Slots) no longer have awkward re-equipping behavior and should seamlessly switch
🩹 Fixed sheathed weapons not changing models when swapped
🩹 Fixed equipped weapon icon being slow/inconsistent to update
Tweaks
🔧 Events should spawn in difficult/impossible to reach areas far less often. This should be especially noticeable in the Depths
🔧 Attributes can now be right-clicked in your journal to lock them or remove intent from them
🔧 Added a right-click option to books and quest items to destroy them and free up inventory space
🔧 Fixed Centurion's Resolve description being inaccurate and made it compatible with Imperium Kata
🔧 PoI's now show up on your map even if you have them disabled as hovering markers
🔧 Tooltips that're just titles are a lot more subtle to help readability
🔧 Voidheart Chess Pieces can now be picked up again, but they can no longer be collided with to prevent cheese
🔧 Renamed Curse of Rhaemen's Ember to Curse of Ysley's Ember
Balancing
⚖️ Resting now has a curve to its healing, but the time taken to heal to 100% hasn't changed. With the standard health regen, the new rate should catch up with the old at around 20s of rest but it starts off much slower. The idea here is that sitting down for 5 seconds won't heal nearly as much as before
⏫ Parrying a Mantra now grants you a small amount of Ether proportional to the Mantra's cost (has a CD). This makes Ether Blade base behavior to an extent
⏫ Warmode chests have less equipment and more relics

⚖️ Reduced frequency of armor in Titus chest, increased deep gem rates a bit
⚖️ Obfuscation speed boost removed, chip increased a bit
⚖️ Weapon equip/unequip states can now interrupt each other dynamically
⚖️ Added proper stun for Frozen Servants and Ice Chains when they are parried, this is also applied to Iceberg when you are broken out of your Iceberg
⚖️ Momentum gain/decay is now more consistent in its rates
⚖️ Needle Barrage now goes on a small cooldown when feinted to prevent birding
⚖️ Imperium Kata Critical damage reduced slightly
⚖️ Fixed Threshers backing up out of their attack range

⏫ Equalizer will now deal damage if you counter a non-grabbable humanoid mob
🩹 Fixed Caltrops hitting twice up close, which was essentially doubling its damage 💀

The Sparks of Erisia
• New Monster: Stonespark. With the increased number of Pathfinders snooping around Erisia, the Duke has had to up his security. Heavy-hitting golems are all well and good, but the Duke can only sustain so many of these juggernauts. Light infantry is needed, and of course, the increased number of test subjects doesn't hurt...
• The small settlement in Erisia formerly overrun by outlaws has been seized by Pathfinder companies operating on the island and converted into a rest stop that's taken the name of 'Path's Respite'. Though still rough around the edges and far from safe, some amenities have now made themselves available
• Antiques smugglers have been seen frequenting Path's Respite, willing to buy items off you at a reduced rate compared to safer towns due to the service provided
• With increased Pathfinder activity on Erisia, further routes have been established, as well as some rudimentary structures to assist in navigating the island
• Further zipline routes have been established in the Etrean Luminant

• Glacial Finish is now base Ice Smash behavior. If you had it, you'll be refunded a hand of talents

• You can no longer turn while using the Officer/Calvary Saber critical and the Needle's Eye critical

• Old World Sun Pendant renamed to Wheel Pendant. Sources suggest that the Suncross has always looked this way

Community Questions Corner
Q: Can we see "set bonus" equipment?
• We're happy to say this is in the works!
Q: Will scythes eventually become a weapon class?
• There's nothing saying they couldn't be at some point, we'd just need enough design space to make them distinct enough from Greataxes!
Q: Could Deepwoken ever be released on Mobile?
• Never say never but the number of inputs required to play Deepwoken would probably fill up your whole screen on mobile! Mobile support would take up a LOT of development time and likely wouldn't result in a very fun end product so it's not currently on our roadmap.
Q: Will we see new aspects after the new aspect and will we ever see obtainable aspects?
• Yes and yes! Obtainable aspects will work a bit differently to how they did in Rogue Lineage. The current plan is for them to be on top of your existing aspect, either altering it or completely overwriting it. We're currently calling these 'Divergences'.
Q: What ideas are floating around for new origins (if there are any)?
• Pretty much any faction that players are interested in we'd love to see have an origin at some point. The main obstacle is figuring out what their playstyle would be like, so we're always interested in how y'all think different factions would play.
Q: What happened to Warmaster?
• The original idea for the oath got scrapped, basically. But since it's an oath directly mentioned in dialogue, it's definitely going to release some day!
Q: When will we see new World Events?
• Once the current World Events are a bit more polished most likely!
Q: Any ideas on what a potential Layer 3 could look like?
• Currently we're thinking about how we could make Layer 3 an open world map like Layer 1. There's a lot of places we could go with an endgame open world area, especially when it comes to challenging PvE and PvP content. We don't have concrete ideas to share yet, but it's definitely an update we're excited about

Community Questions Corner
Q: Can we see "set bonus" equipment?
• We're happy to say this is in the works!
Q: Will scythes eventually become a weapon class?
• There's nothing saying they couldn't be at some point, we'd just need enough design space to make them distinct enough from Greataxes!
Q: Could Deepwoken ever be released on Mobile?
• Never say never but the number of inputs required to play Deepwoken would probably fill up your whole screen on mobile! Mobile support would take up a LOT of development time and likely wouldn't result in a very fun end product so it's not currently on our roadmap.
Q: Will we see new aspects after the new aspect and will we ever see obtainable aspects?
• Yes and yes! Obtainable aspects will work a bit differently to how they did in Rogue Lineage. The current plan is for them to be on top of your existing aspect, either altering it or completely overwriting it. We're currently calling these 'Divergences'.
Q: What ideas are floating around for new origins (if there are any)?
• Pretty much any faction that players are interested in we'd love to see have an origin at some point. The main obstacle is figuring out what their playstyle would be like, so we're always interested in how y'all think different factions would play.
Q: What happened to Warmaster?
• The original idea for the oath got scrapped, basically. But since it's an oath directly mentioned in dialogue, it's definitely going to release some day!
Q: When will we see new World Events?
• Once the current World Events are a bit more polished most likely!
Q: Any ideas on what a potential Layer 3 could look like?
• Currently we're thinking about how we could make Layer 3 an open world map like Layer 1. There's a lot of places we could go with an endgame open world area, especially when it comes to challenging PvE and PvP content. We don't have concrete ideas to share yet, but it's definitely an update we're excited about
Hotfixes
• Increased hitbox of Iron Requiem Critical
• Fixed issues with using aces
• Fixed the first hit of Ice Hero Critical not working
• Fixed Visionshaper clones Running Attack hitting 3x
• Fixed being able to teleport players out of spawn protection and banker protection using Voidheart portals
• Fixed Flashboil being obtained in conjunction with Lava Serpent/Twisted Puppets/Crystallization
July 7th, 2025
Content & Systems
• A new challenge awaits you in the Depths
• New Early Game Equipment: Sailor's Fleece & Dark Sailor's Fleece
• Mantras now have a right-click option in your inventory to recall them
• Mantra tools are now colored with their element
• Improved visual clarity of ability tool UI by making them card-shaped
• Added Icons for all Lightning Mantras. Big thanks to zyzyth for their help with designing these!
• Remodelled Scimitar
• Added a dynamic cursor. Changes depending on if you're holding out your weapon, items, etc.
Equipment Changes
• Fixed and reworked Armorer's Needles & Gilded Needles to enable you to access the full range of valid combinations of pips on equipment. Previously, if you already had a pip of one type (e.g. HP) it would awkwardly prevent you from directly rerolling another pip to it (e.g. Ether -> HP), requiring you to jump around different types of pips (e.g. Ether -> Posture -> HP). And as a result if a pip tier only had 2 options, you weren't able to reroll it at all. The new system doesn't have these issues!
• Added 'Anchor' pips, a new type of legendary pip for leg equipment. Anchor pips grant a combination of HP, Knockback Resistance, and small amounts of Posture
• Buffed Sanity pips (+1/+2/+3/+4 Ether -> +2/+4/+6/+8 Ether)
• Since there are less pips available to roll, Gilded Needles now only require 3 Armorer's Needles to craft
Voidheart Changes
• The Voidheart has shrunk in its dimensions once again. Eylis is in an understandably poor mood as a result. Fearing for their life, the resident merchant Croissant has fled
• Attacking others in the Voidheart may not be a crime, but it certainly does get on Eylis's nerves now that things are more cramped. Starting fights in the Voidheart now drags both you and your victim out of the Voidheart to settle the matter outside. A rift is left in the air for a few moments for others to follow suit
Balancing & Tweaks
• Traan Zakshun's lootpool has been adjusted for inflation, the state of the economy has forced him to gather more enticing stock and set more 'reasonable' prices...
• Lightning Stream hitbox made more reliable
• A sea highway by the Isle of Vigils has been constructed to speed up ships coming from the island
• The game is now more specific when you're missing a stat requirement on an outfit you're trying to craft
• Chests that dropped before you joined a server cannot be looted. This prevents serverhopping in common drop spots
• Having negative Knives reputation now bars you from using your Voidwalker abilities
• Buffed Cold Blooded duration and edited the description to be more clear. (it no longer applies blood poison for the whole chill duration)
• Made proccing A World Without Song easier: increased the window of time for landing a stack (5s -> 10s), landing a stack resets the duration of all stacks to 10s now instead of each stack having its own timer
• Flame Blind is now a Support mantra
• Obfuscation Enchant VFX updated to be more readable
• Fixed Suffocate VFX duration not matching the actual duration of the effect
• Ice Flock timing is no longer RNG
• Interacting with objects now clears your spawn FF
• Added a telegraph particle for Mantra parry timing
• Improved the parry telegraph particle for weapons
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed outfits that require relics not being craftable
• Fixed an issue where if you lost a Mantra due to a bug you couldn't roll it again
• Fixed Vibrant Gems not showing up in the mantra editor
• Fixed Lightning Stream not pulling
• Fixed Inhale/Fan the Flames buffs
• Fixed Saintsworn Lightning Assist not working properly
• Fixed Ether Proselyte
• Fixed Dimensional Travel PvP windup allowing you to move around midway through
• Fixed unique Mantra icons not showing up in Mantra hands
Community Questions Corner
Q: What happened to 2x chests?
• To be completely honest... They never went away! 2x chests has become the new default at this point.
Q: When is the next official CC tourney, why did you guys stop doing them?
• Recently we've been trying to enable the community to run their own events with the help of our mod team, but it would definitely be cool to see another official CC tournament in the current state of the game.
Q: Any estimations on when we will see Titus?
• Currently we're thinking it should release this month, but we'll let you know if our ETA is off. The boss itself is done but we're still finishing up the content surrounding it.
Q: When can we expect reworks to ancient mechanics like mining and especially boats?
• With the current trend of updates, reworks to older mechanics are very much something you'll be seeing a lot of in weeklies. Sometimes it'll be smaller features like ziplines, other times it'll be big ones like the Mantra editing rework. We still want to preserve the feel of things, but it's very clear that a lot of the mechanics are showing their age and not actually contributing to a fun experience. Making boats more fun and engaging has been a hope of ours for a while now, we've just been trying to get a solid concept for how they should work in the game going forwards. Boats aren't just transport, after all.
Q: Will the void tower still be a thing?
Possibly! We still love the idea, but there's a possibility a lot of it might just be incorporated into voidsea content in general instead of specifically just being a tower.
Q: What can we expect from a potential void sea update?
• Exploration, survival, and risk/reward. We want voidsea content to feel like an expedition you have to prep for.
Q: Are there plans to expand guild bases with more rooms / mechanics?
• Guild base styles are planned! We'd also love to see more intentional decision-making going on in terms of which rooms you go for. A way to raid guild bases is something we've wanted for a while, too.

June 30th, 2025
Content & Systems
• The isle of Monkey's Paw trembles beneath the thunderous steps of The Elder. You know the drill
Mantra Modification Unleashed
• Reworked Mantra Editing with a responsive new UI. Mantras (equipped and otherwise) can now be freely scrolled through and modified without having to painstakingly recall them at a campfire one by one
• While the system of editing your Mantras was originally somewhat of a puzzle that encouraged experimentation, in the current state of the game it's basically just wiki fodder. The new system still encourages experimentation, but doesn't waste your time
• The current stats of your Mantras are listed, as well as their effective values after the Mantra Level buff is applied
• Only compatible ingredients are shown and their effects can be previewed before confirming the modification, saving you a lot of trial and error
• Mantras can now be named through the new Mantra Editor instead of having to spam recall and modify
• Amnesic Driftwoods have been removed from lootpools since the new editor lets you freely reset your Mantras
• You no longer have to pay Notes for Mantras above a certain size. Experiment away!
• NOTE: The balance and effects of modifying Mantras haven't been changed, just the means of editing them. This new system does thankfully open up the potential for further customisation of Mantras, however, as it's a lot more modular
Loot Table Rework
• Reworked the loot table system to make it a lot easier for us to set up tables that don't have terrible weighting
• Reworked the early game loot tables to have a much better spread of loot instead of getting 50 headbands
• Buffed a lot of chests by removing earlygame drops from them and making their drops more appropriate for the point at which you obtain them
• Reduced the number of unusable drops (e.g. high lvl/attribute req) in earlygame chests
Balancing & Tweaks
• Damage modifier cap values are now reduced when in PvP combat. Hard Cap 1.75x -> 1.5x. Soft cap 1.5x -> 1.25x
• Spark Swap can no longer be used to teleport characters through walls in an effort to prevent users from displacing other players out of bounds. This change will only apply if the user is targeting a player or the user is in PvP combat
• Flaming Scourge Reversal spark will now only pull targets in if the user is not airborne
• Fadetrimmer Wildcard slot added
• Starkindred/Contractor Wildcard slot added
• Moving Fortress 2 -> 1 posture, its slow while blocking is also now less effective
• Hivelord Hubris endlag added 0.15 endlag
• First Light PEN reduced to 30% to 5%
• Divine Greataxe now has 0.15 endlag
• Heretic Sutra endlag reduced
• Kamui now has a much longer cancellable windup if used while in combat
• Fixed Bladeharper's uppercut having endlag even when Soaring Storm / Untouchable wasn't active
• Sow and Mend blood cost increased from 17.5% to 35%, CD increased from 25 seconds to 30 seconds
• Bloodfouler now has endlag on its criticals that match the animations
• The skybox now slowly rotates over time
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Optimized Mantra casting in general
• Fixed leaving the game in Layer 2 and rejoining placing you at your last location in cases where it shouldn't occur
• Fixed being able to use Shadow Travel in Carnival
• Optimized Saint Overload
• Fixed not being able to rebind your camera lock
• Fixed Roblox camera scripts not being overwritten by Deepwoken's camera scripts
• Fixed Note values not showing on items consistently
Community Questions Corner
Moving forwards, we're gonna try to do community Q&A's fairly regularly to hopefully help shed a light on things!
Q: Will we see anymore DvM/MA given to players?
• Bosses and lategame enemies will likely be seeing some adjustments soon to their Bestiary buffs, damage, and health pools. We'd also like to introduce a few more items of equipment with innate DvM/MA.
Q: Are there any future plans/ideas for other attunements?
• Yes! Attunements take a lot of time to make, so we try to space them out somewhat. We have a lot of ideas still for future attunements, with some that will probably be obvious by now, and others that might not be so expected. Though again, attunements are a boatload of work to get done, so they don't ship often.
Q: Why are updates always delayed?
• At the moment it's largely been due to the major reworks going on behind the scenes. When you rip everything up it necessitates a lot of work that can be unpredictable in scope. We've had some pretty damn buggy patches recently and that's really just been the tip of the iceberg in terms of the work that's been going on to improve the game's core mechanics and systems. There's also a lot that goes on behind the scenes and doesn't show up in patch notes like managing server outages and updating our external architecture.
Q: Is saramaed hollow rework still priority or is it on the backburner?
• At the moment, Saramaed is lined up for after we ship the Fort Merit dungeon. The boss is pretty much done for it, but there's a fair bit of work we still need to do on the dungeon itself. Mostly in order to make it not suck.
Q: Is conquest indefinitely delayed?
• We've talked about the state of Conquest in bits and pieces in different places, but the general statement we can give on Conquest is basically that pretty much everything that was originally going to release in one big 'Conquest Update' has:
a) been released already through weeklies
b) been getting polished so that we can ship it in weeklies
c) been split up into its own standalone update instead of being bundled in with Conquest
d) been scrapped for parts so that we can reuse it for other stuff
• For the Conquest gamemode itself, we tried a lot of different things but we just didn't find it fun or performant enough to really feel confident in releasing. We took a pretty big risk in trying to adapt Deep's gameplay into a MOBA format, and definitely learned a lot from it, but these experiments don't always pan out. At the time of us saying it was probably 'a few weeks away' (lol.), we had got the map ready, the backend ready, and everything seemed to be falling into place. But when it came time to playtest it, it just wasn't fun. And it lagged super badly, much like the rest of the game at the time. Since then, we've embarked on a quest to radically optimize the game's performance and rip out all of our laggy old code.
• The good news is that pretty much everything we worked on for the gamemode can be reused elsewhere. If you were dying to see a Deepwoken MOBA gamemode it's not necessarily out of the question, but we have a lot of ideas at the moment on how we can deliver what most people actually wanted out of the update. And don't worry, all the cool stuff we teased for Conquest isn't wasted, you'll probably see it appear in some other format in the coming months.
Q: Any updates on when we might see the Kaido/Dread Serpent rework?
• Currently the mob rework focus is on the Lionfish, but the Dread Serpent is pretty much ready for us to get started on coding. Mob reworks are a big item on our list but are a pretty big amount of work so often get a little backlogged. No real ETA on this but we hate looking at Four Eyed Kaido and want him dead.
Q: When will boss challenges for the encyclopedia be added?
• Very soon! At the moment, we're planning to release a unique challenge for each Boss in the game.
Q: How often can we expect new map updates like what happened to Erisia, or just new islands in general?
• As we look back on Deepwoken's map after so many years, we're seeing a lot of room for improvement. Alongside our reworks to the game's systems, we'd like to make these map changes more regularly. In many ways it keeps the exploration alive and the world fresh, which is always something people have been asking for. Also, with all the performance upgrades from our optimization work, new islands wouldn't be out of the question.
Q: Will we ever see more dual attunement paths?
• Yes. 😈
• Fixed Termite
• Fixed still being able to put Mantra materials down on the table physically
• The Long Tong of the Law base damage increased from 17.5 to 20
• The Flippers of Fate base damage increased from 10.5 to 13
• The Pastry Paster base damage incrased from 15.5 to 18
• When on a Grasp of Eylis hunt, you will not be sent back to the Voidheart until you are out of PvP combat

• Fixed equipping/switching weapons causing all talents to be removed that require a specific weapon, including all Fist Style talents
• Fixed Outfit Talents not loading at all
• Fixed a few ways of duping or otherwise messing with Mantras
• Added a system to restore missing Mantras automatically. Reworked Mantra data handling to have much less room for data loss
• Mantras obtained while in combat get automatically put in your unequipped Mantras instead of getting prompted and interrupting you
• You are now unable to loot chests after exiting kamui/teleportation for 30 seconds
• Fixed the Ferryman
• The isle of Monkey's Paw trembles beneath the thunderous steps of The Elder. You know the drill

At the time of us saying it was probably 'a few weeks away' (lol.), we had got the map ready, the backend ready, and everything seemed to be falling into place. But when it came time to playtest it, it just wasn't fun. And it lagged super badly, much like the rest of the game at the time. Since then, we've embarked on a quest to radically optimize the game's performance and rip out all of our laggy old code.
• The good news is that pretty much everything we worked on for the gamemode can be reused elsewhere. If you were dying to see a Deepwoken MOBA gamemode it's not necessarily out of the question, but we have a lot of ideas at the moment on how we can deliver what most people actually wanted out of the update. And don't worry, all the cool stuff we teased for Conquest isn't wasted, you'll probably see it appear in some other format in the coming months.
Q: Any updates on when we might see the Kaido/Dread Serpent rework?
• Currently the mob rework focus is on the Lionfish, but the Dread Serpent is pretty much ready for us to get started on coding. Mob reworks are a big item on our list but are a pretty big amount of work so often get a little backlogged. No real ETA on this but we hate looking at Four Eyed Kaido and want him dead.
Q: When will boss challenges for the encyclopedia be added?
• Very soon! At the moment, we're planning to release a unique challenge for each Boss in the game.
Q: How often can we expect new map updates like what happened to Erisia, or just new islands in general?
• As we look back on Deepwoken's map after so many years, we're seeing a lot of room for improvement. Alongside our reworks to the game's systems, we'd like to make these map changes more regularly. In many ways it keeps the exploration alive and the world fresh, which is always something people have been asking for. Also, with all the performance upgrades from our optimization work, new islands wouldn't be out of the question.
Q: Will we ever see more dual attunement paths?
• Yes. 😈

New Feature: Encyclopedia
• Added the Encyclopedia, a new interface accessible from your ingame menu next to the settings icon
• The Encyclopedia interface contains your Glossary and a new feature; the Bestiary
• Monsters and Bosses you've defeated at least once will gain a Bestiary entry. By completing challenges revolving around each entity, you gain additional damage and resistance when fighting them, as well as a little snippet of lore for some. More challenges are coming soon!
• Your Glossary can now be accessed through a new interface in the Encyclopedia that collects all of the terms you've come across
• Encyclopedia progress is account-wide. Completing your Bestiary Challenges will grant you bonuses on all your slots, not just the one that completes them

These mobs were previously designated as resilient mobs, and DvM was half as effective on them, so this isn't actually a nerf, just better information on the mobs that have this trait!

Patch 2.2.8a
Hotfixes• Fixed Worms
• Fixed various abilities locking you out of other actions
• Fixed area-specific lighting exposure
• Fixed mobs flickering out of existence every 30s
May 17th, 2025
• Content & Systems
• New Recipe: Candles. Perfect for setting the mood. Or summoning
• Added a public log of chime matches in the community server. Currently, only matches with ranked players are logged
• Added a system for NPC conversations to be based on various things like the current weather. Small talk has never been the same
• New Book: The Interrogation of Ranger Santiago Talo
Mob AI Improvements
• Fixed an issue with human mob AI where if all their mantras were on cooldown they'd stand around and do nothing
• When human mobs can't roll and would usually react with a roll, they'll block/parry instead
• Human mobs no longer need to be blocking in order to parry
• Human mobs are better at breaking out of wall combos
• Human mobs no longer backpedal to create distance for ranged mantras if they're within melee range. This behavior would basically just make them sitting ducks if they were backed into a corner
• Fixed mobs standing around blankly when they're about to use a Mantra
• Fixed mobs using Mantras against downed enemies instead of executing them
• When human mobs fail to predict an attack, they will try to attack you instead of standing around and taking the hit
• Fixed M1 parry telegraphing for mob AI, window was way too wide. Was causing mobs to react to your M1's way after the M1 had finished
• Mobs are now a lot better at aiming Mantras
Balancing & Tweaks
• Fixed potion posture resist buff/debuffs all applying a flat 50% reduction to posture damage. This made it so Ongo had no downsides and a huge buff to posture resist, and made Bamboo Bundles/Calabash far stronger than intended
• Ether Regen food buffs now apply after tempo-based ether regen. Previously, they would only buff potion ether regen
• Fixed Deficient only reducing potion ether regen. Now reduces Tempo-based ether regen too
• Fixed Two-handing a weapon giving its +10% posture damage modifier to Mantras. This modifier only applies to M1's and crits now
• Jumper Cables no longer determines its target arbitrarily. Now, when the talent procs, the last tethered enemy that is eligible will have their health stolen from, up to the 5% user max HP + 10 HP threshold
• Removed Static Link stun modifier passive. Talent description was inaccurate and the actual effect had a very limited set of situations where it would even activate or even do anything (the gist is that it applied 0.5s stun alongside your thundercall damage, but most thundercall damage has more stun than that innately so you wouldn't even notice it)
• Red Death reqs reduced (45 MED, 55 SDW -> 30 MED, 45 SDW)
• Red Death scaling increased (2 BLD; 2 SDW -> 3 BLD; 3 SDW)
• Red Death base damage reduced (16.5 -> 16)
• Bloodfouler's standing critical now has an audio cue
• Fractine's critical's damage and posture has been significantly increased on the smash hit
• Fractine's critical's base damage has been increased significantly
• Fractine's shrapnel now bleeds the opponents and now has scaled damage instead of a flat number
• Alloyed Longspear MED scaling increased (5 -> 6.5)
• Alloyed Longspear swing speed increased (0.93x -> 1)
• Adjusted Ignition Deepcrusher critical hitbox of the second hit to be uniform in size instead of having certain spots where the hitbox was larger than at others
• The platform created by Ignition Deepcrusher critical no longer has player collision and disappears faster when created in water or mid-air
• Ignition Deepcrusher critical will now stop early when interrupted
• Fixed Gran Sudaruska Critical not applying crystal
• Forgotten Gladius MED scaling increased (7 -> 7.5)
• Gremorian Longspear critical damage increased somewhat
• Enforcer's Axe HVY scaling decreased (10 -> 9)
• Enforcer's Hammer chip dmg increased (10% -> 20%)
• Wretched Mawblades base damage decreased (27.5 -> 27)
• Cerulean Thread base damage increased (15 -> 16.5)
• Cerulean Thread swing speed decreased (1.25x -> 1.2x)
• Ice Eruption round spark variant no longer places its walls midair
• Ice Eruption round spark variant will now cancel immediately when used while swimming, instead of playing the windup animation first
• Fixed Heartspiller not spawning as frequently as intended
• Fixed Ice Eruption round spark variant's windup being 0.75s (same as regular variant) instead of 0.5s
• Fixed Gremorian Longspear not having a cancellable windup
• Fixed a longstanding bug where Gremorian Longspear's critical would place the pierced target behind the user
• Saber crits can now be extracted/overwritten
Major Optimizations
• Optimized passive ability checks considerably. This should have knock-on benefits across most of the game
• Greatly optimized passives in damage processing. This was a big source of lag in combat that should now be much better
• Optimized mob passives by reducing their instance footprint
• Optimized strong winds (e.g. L2), reduced server-side impact
• Optimized Ice Eruption logic for round spark variant
Bugfixes
• Fixed Character Creation having underwater visual effects
• Fixed underwater visual effects from appearing in Layer 1 when inside a Void Spire
• Fixed a softlock that could occur when breaking all wind orbs to cancel Scion of Ethiron's ultimate attack
• Fixed being able to grab anchored players using Eye of Malice crit, which caused desyncs in position replication
• Fixed Noble regalia making certain hostile enemies not aggro
• Logstones no longer confusingly extend the vfx duration on Fire Blade
• Fixed the creation of new Static Links removing older links for the host
• Fixed Static Link's "tethered" state persisting for the host even after all links have been destroyed, which allowed talents like Jumper Cables to continue proccing for far longer than intended
• Fixed Static Allure arbitrarily considering the first linked enemy it finds as the "previous tethered enemy"
• Optimized Rhythm checks
• Fixed weapon enchant stacking
• Fixed some inconsistencies with NLK's behavior. Fixes the downsides being active in Chime despite the upsides being disabled
• Fixed some NLK downsides lingering if you switch weapons
• Fixed Lightning Wisp not proccing its flourish effect if enchants are disabled
• Fixed Scion of Ethiron's circular bone floor wave attack being completely invisible
Patch 2.2.7a

Patch 2.2.6a
Hotfixes• Fixed Paralytic Dust not applying its 90% damage reduction on paralyzed targets
• Fixed Corrupted Paralytic Dust not applying corruption downsides
• Reduced the hitbox sizes on Paralytic Dust
• Fixed all combat themes sharing the same volume. Before, a number of combat themes, notably INSOMNIA and A God, Manufactured would play at low volumes

April 26th, 2025
Hunks of Chunks
• Implemented a new chunking/spatial indexing system for character positioning queries. With this new system, mobs have been majorly optimized. Chunks with no players nearby are marked as inactive, indicating to all the mobs inside that they don't need to run any checks or look for any enemies around them. This is a major improvement compared to the current system where, by necessity, mobs would perform distance and vision checks on characters on the other side of the map. Now, mobs will only check nearby chunks, which effectively reduces the performance cost of sleeping mobs to nearly zero, and greatly reduces the lag from awake mobs searching for enemies
• TL;DR we substantially rewrote a whole load of the core code for mobs to be MUCH more performant. This new system will also open the way for us to optimize other areas of the game like hitboxes, hit registration, and AoE effects
• In particular, the overworld will see the biggest performance improvements from this system, with the hope being that we can add more islands without worrying too much about performance. With the previous system, if no one was present on an island, it'd still have a performance cost from whatever mobs were present there. This should greatly reduce the performance cost of areas that players aren't occupying
Invisibility Rewrite
• Added a new system for managing invisibility/transparency that aims to fix all of the recurring issues in the game with invisibility not working correctly
• The new system is considerably better optimized, more reliable, has built-in support for multiple dynamic sources of transparency/invisibility, and has built-in support for trails/decals/particles/etc.
• Since it's a whole system and not just a fix to an individual ability, it means any bugs we fix with invisibility should apply to all effects/abilities that use the new system
• The new invisibility system also innately fixes the issue where players that joined your server after you went invisible were able to see you
Content & Systems
• New Blood/Shadow Hybrid LW: Red Death
• First Light has been remodelled and visually overhauled
• Added full UTF-8 support to dialogue
• Added Saintsworn Oath Skip
Balancing & Tweaks
• Slightly increased First Light's critical damage, but critical now ends early if the initial hit is parried
• Radius of sword rain is now 25% smaller/denser. Sword rain now has telegraphing beams showing where the blades will land, helping with parry timing
• First Light crit cooldown reduced (30s -> 25s)
• Speed boosts while Mounted are now considerably weaker, but base mount sprint speed is faster
• Mount dash speed curve has been adjusted. Tapping dash semi-frequently is now the best way to keep your max speed, though you don't need to mash it
• Dashing on a mount now keeps you at max speed for 2 seconds
• The heal received from unlocking your Resonance in the Depths now clears any Wither buildup you have
• Increased the scale of Enforcer's Axe model to match hitboxes

• Target Switch no longer procs on self damage

• Improved readability on Bloodrend mantras by heavily reducing the highlighting effect
• Fixed being able to use Iron Pull and Linkstrider Links while mounted/gliding
• Stench enchant procs are now capped to 10 damage per tick for a total of up to 30 damage

• Fixed Mayhem eating your dodge frames when activated on CD
• Fixed a variety of block/crit stacking methods. Using crits should now much more reliably cancel and prevent blocking
• Fixed Lightning Blade magnet slash being super delayed, 2nd slash being delayed, and made it so you can cancel the magnet slash
• Fixed motif movestacks
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Optimized mob target validation. Should cut down on lag for aggro'd mobs a fair bit
• Mobs no longer keep other mobs awake - only players can wake mobs up. This does change behavior somewhat, but also greatly improves performance as we won't have 2 random mobs fighting for their lives when no players are even around to see it
• Fixed some issues with getting forcibly stuck in shift-lock. Optimized shift-lock
• Fixed the Meatlord sometimes softlocking you when opening his shop
• Fixed Layer 2 and Void Spire and blind(fold) fog not working

• Fixed being able to jankily swim with Mounts (they'll probably be able to actually swim soon but at the moment it just looks and feels bad)
• Fixed Eye of Malice model lingering when swapping weapons
• Fixed missing Flow State Anklecutter sound cue
• Fixed Fear holding Relentless Hunt in midair

April 15th, 2025
Content & Systems
• New Skyreap Blade Critical
• Added a new Shop GUI for dialogue that should greatly streamline NPC vendors and let us expand the range of shops available effortlessly. No more sifting through 30-odd options of "Pomar [2000 Notes]" and clicking through an endless stream of dialogue just to buy items
Talent Removals & Merges
• Warrior's Respite is now a base mechanic. After standing still in one spot for 15 seconds while injured, you'll start to Recuperate, catching your breath and accelerating your natural healing. If you had Warrior's Respite, you'll be refunded a hand of cards.
• Duelist's Dance and Harsh Response have been removed. If you had these talents, you'll be refunded the corresponding hands of cards.
• These two talents were must-picks for any build, but they pretty much just cancelled each other out. So with everyone using them they basically did nothing, but they were still mandatory. Every comp build basically had a 2 talent point sink. The STR investment to get these 2 talents could very easily be shrined down, so it didn't even really act as a balancer for attunement builds.
• Pitcher has been removed, with the benefits it gave now mostly innate. If you had Pitcher, you'll be refunded a hand of cards.
• Herbivore has been removed. If you had Herbivore, you'll be refunded a hand of cards
Projectile Revamp
• Many projectiles now have much more realistic trajectories, and should far more consistently land where you aim
• Many explosive projectiles now explode when dodged by an enemy instead of vanishing into thin air. Naturally, since you have dodge iframes you won't be affected by the explosion
• Parrying many projectiles now immediately destroys them
• The aiming cone for cannons has been widened (70° -> 80°)
• Fixed some long-lived projectiles cleaning up too early
• Optimized moves that fire multiple projectiles
Balancing & Systems
• Contributing to world boss kills can now grant up to 2 Crowns. However, the minimum contribution for receiving a Crown has been increased. Scion of Ethiron remains capped to 1 Crown
• You now get a small amount of Tempo for parrying M1's, and for having your M1 parried
• The base posture restore on parry from parrying players has been reduced slightly to match what Duelist's Dance plus Harsh Response cancelled out to.
• The base posture restore on parry from parrying mobs been increased slightly, as very few mobs actually had Harsh Response to cancel out the Duelist's Dance.
• In PvE, being at 0 Tempo now grants 0.5 Ether per second again
• Chaining horizontal mobility moves no longer applies a penalty when out of combat. Previously, the penalty was absent only in dungeons (and still is)
• Slightly tweaked the appearance of the Celtorian Commander armor set
• Martial Artist now gives Bruiser's Mixup instead of Harsh Response
• Destructive Recovery no longer requires Harsh Response
• Iron Gut no longer requires Herbivore. Stat req increased (10 FTD -> 20 FTD OR 20 WLL)
• Crimson Rain now goes on full cooldown if all of your daggers are parried or otherwise destroyed. Fixes an interaction where you'd waste a cast on an empty recall
• Greatly increased Parasol's spatial awareness
• Parasol, Primadon, Caeranthil, and Dread Serpent can now all target enemies behind walls. No more hiding
• Boats and Mechanisms (e.g. elevators) no longer provide cover against Mob line of sight. Fixes a lot of cheesing with cannons
• Added deciduous trees. Expert arbologists from the Citadel have been quoted as saying "where'd the leaves go" and "what's a rake"
• Palm trees no longer change colors with the seasons
• The dialogue UI now scales and adjusts much more dynamically to fit screen space
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Fixed Diluvian Mechanism not being considered by Deepbound sanity passive
• Fixed Shrine of Solitude not functioning in Diluvian Mechanism
• Fixed Resonances not unlocking in Diluvian
• Improved rendering performance by moving a lot of one-time lighting corrections to be generated on the fly instead of taking up space in the pipeline
• Optimized vfx for entropy travel
• Made a lot of lighting effects fade in instead of immediately changing
• Optimized Knives time bubble (was very poorly optimized)
• Fixed Knives leaving other mobs permanently in slowed time
• Knives now drop their bubble when they deaggro
• Fixed Crimson Rain having inconsistent cooldowns
• Fixed Going Nowhere having unreliable behavior
• The Soulbreaker Mantle's particles now correctly change with dye
• Fixed horizontal mobility chain having inverted logic, making it always apply a penalty when it shouldn't. Oops
• Fixed Eye of Malice tinting your screen permanently crimson. Scary
• You can no longer teleport to players that are being transported by the Teleportation Resonance
• Command: Summon and Command: Return no longer allow you to teleport to characters that are marked as being unable to be teleported to. In other words, the two commands now respect teleport restrictions
• Fixed Enmity's axe projectile not firing
• New Skyreap Blade Critical
• Added a new Shop GUI for dialogue that should greatly streamline NPC vendors and let us expand the range of shops available effortlessly. No more sifting through 30-odd options of "Pomar [2000 Notes]" and clicking through an endless stream of dialogue just to buy items

New Endgame Currency: Crowns
• Can be turned into Notes/Knowledge, but Notes/Knowledge cannot be used to earn Crowns
• Currently, Crowns can only be earnt through World Events or through World Bosses. As we add more endgame content, this will expand
• Sev, an eccentric dye vendor, has set up shop on Meteor Isle. Their business appears to be struggling, however, as they refuse to do business for anything other than Crowns...
Character Customisation Upgrades
• Reworked the dye system behind the scenes. Should let us support dyes more dynamically and with less hard-coded behavior, as well as let us automatically support new things to dye. Also means removing dyes is automatically supported. Your existing dyes haven't changed, don't worry!

• Chrysids can once again choose to have no eyebrows

Hello Deepwoken fans.
The Deepwoken 'permadeath RPG experiment' has concluded.
In talks with our Corporate Sponsors, we have pioneered a new, inspiring, innovative direction for this Roblox experience that our metrics analysts are saying will 'target a wider audience', 'hit ARPPU targets', and 'dude. give it a month. just give it a month and they'll forget about the rugpull and you can cram that thing full of microtransactions. think about it man. we can finally get that yacht. have you ever been on a yacht? it'll change your life man. straight up give it a month man'. As firm believers of the good within every human heart, and that the moneymen in their crisp suits are very good at their jobs, we are inclined to listen.
Please enjoy 'Deepwoken Battlegrounds'.

Content & Systems
• New MED/MIND Bow: Guiding Star
• New Master Outfit: Cala-Mariner
• New Outfit Talent: Tidal Shock
• New Master Outfit: Arachnid's Weave
• New Outfit Talent: Corrosive Touch
• The Journal Tab UI has been revamped with a new design that scales to fit different displays much more dynamically, as well as being more responsive. More on this front soon!
• The Equipment Vanity menu has been merged into the Tab Equipment Menu. P is no longer bound by default
• While in the Depths, your health bar now dynamically displays your 'void threshold', i.e. the health you have to be above to safely make it to Layer 2 by falling into a void
• Unmet weapon requirements are now explained to you instead of it just saying you don't have them
• Upgraded the dialogue rendering system to work with new Roblox font features
• Added Mind (MND) and Body (BDY) requirement/scaling type. Mind is the highest of your WLL/CHA/INT. Body is the highest of your STR/FTD/AGL
Scaling Changes & Fixes
• The system for PvE scaling and attribute scaling has been rewritten. In general, this helps fix some edgecase issues where scaling was improperly too high/too low, or where some things didn't scale to begin with
• M1 PvE scaling is now proportional to your swing speed, with high swing-speed weapons now doing a bit more PvE damage and low swing-speed weapons doing a bit less. This is to help make higher swing speed weapons with lower damage values a more viable pick for PvE. The usual disadvantage to low swingspeed weapons is that they can be reacted to more easily, and with most monsters being unable to parry/etc., this has made them pretty much the default pick for PvE builds
• Fixed Saint's Synergy doubling the scaling of your non-highest elements (would still cap out at the same amount, but would make low-investments hit the cap much quicker)
• Fixed a bug with elemental scaling causing low Songchant investment to scale lower than intended. The trait description has been amended to correspond with this
• Summons now get PvE scaling on their mantras
Balancing & Tweaks
• Your Void Threshold now changes gradually instead of instantly, preventing people from ganking you and then typing 'mb all' to rugpull you
• Flame Leap Reversal Spark feint now delays its cooldown until you touch the ground
• Heavenly Wind feint now delays its cooldown until you touch the ground
• Reduced horizontal boost with Starkindred Wings air dash in the Depths
• Heart of Enmity now absorbs the remaining HP of the servants that he consumes for his Pull attack
• Fixed Shard Bow movestacks, base damage increased to compensate (55 -> 70)
• Being stunned out of Prominence Draw's or Close Shave's forward movement now puts the mantra on CD
• Being stunned out of Onslaught, Restrain or Eclipse Kick (unfeintable mantras) now puts the mantra on CD
• Feinting the second hit of Twinstrikes now places it on full CD
• Spark Swap now re-checks the user being midair or not to prevent being able to use the mantra as you jump off a cliff
• Bloodfouler base damage reduced (20.5 -> 20), BLD scaling reduced (5 -> 4), swingspeed reduced (0.87x -> 0.86x), LVL req reduced (12 -> 10)
Bugfixes & Optimization

March 8th, 2025
Content & Systems
• New Relic Equipment: Mantle of Enmity
• New Critical: True Seraph Spear
• New Ring: Chained Ring; Reduces incoming knockback but removes your ability to Air Dash
• Enmity can now be challenged by up to 20 players. Beware, his difficulty increases as you bring more comrades!
• Air Dashing is now a base mechanic available at Power 1. The Aerial Assault talent and quest have been removed
• Echo Modifiers now have their own window in character creation. One-time purchase Echo Unlocks are also now shown separately to repeat-purchase Echo Upgrades
• Motif Crits now have a 0.15s windup of transforming your weapon into the Motif's weapon. This should help telegraph them as being non-standard, but also acts as a balance for motifs in general
• Added support for specific crits to be able to be overwritten by Motifs, while still not being extractable
Balancing Highlights
• Your Tempo bar is now only replenished on being hit if you actually get combat tagged. This fixes allies being able to repeatedly refill your tempo bar, among other broken interactions that'd let you get a free tempo bar
• Vent CD now reduces with the number of players who have combat tagged you. 1 player is 10s, 4 players is 6s. Minimum is 6s
• The tempo you receive from being hit by mantras is now based on the percentage of your max health that the damage makes up, instead of being based on the flat damage value. This generally means that players with less health will receive more tempo from being hit by mantras
• The cooldown for receiving tempo from crits is now separated into a CD for the attacker and victim each instead of being solely tied to the attacker
• The small cooldown for tempo gain on being hit is now tied to the attacker, meaning that taking damage from multiple enemies rapidly should give you tempo consistently

• Getting KO'd no longer clears all of your Wither - instead, being unconscious will rapidly heal your Wither. This fixes Res bell clearing all your Wither, which led to some very broken interactions. e.g. being able to spam Vortex Echo without a downside
• Health packs received from players you're more than 5 levels above are now significantly reduced
• Backstepping speed boost penalty has been made harsher (0.5x -> 0.25x)

• Reduced Anti-Heal amount on Enmity's Slice attack after he stomps (75% -> 50%)
• Fixed the health regen penalty in Dimensional Travel stacking with the Voidzone health regen penalty
• After a humanoid mob vents, it can no longer vent until it has received enough damage again

• Brazen Blow now only procs on m1s
• Fixed Brazen Blow, Impairing Blow, and Heavy Fatigue going through parry/dodge

• Added crit SFX To Crescendo crit
• You can no longer use campfires while in iframes/Run it Back
• You can no longer place campfires on Ramparts/Ice Arcs
• Lightning Strike mantra now waits until the user has recovered from being parried before striking again
• Storm Cage casters are now pushed back by their own cage (but still don't take the damage)
• Lowered the volume of the Trial Voices dialogue before the Heart of Enmity fight starts
• Fixed not being able to dodge Clutching Shadow
• Fixed Heavenly Wind movestacks
• Bloodfouler crit damage reduced, base damage reduced (21.5 -> 20.5)
• Ysley's Pyre Keeper base damage reduced (23 -> 21)
• Fixed Ysley's Pyre Keeper neutral critical hitting behind you, hitbox size reduced
• Ysley's Pyre Keeper running critical windup increased
• Fixed being able to movestack Pyrekeeper neutral crit
• Floor is Lava duration reduced (3s -> 2s)
• Food buffs no longer carry over between servers
• Flamewalker now recolors with Twisted Puppets
Bugfixes & Optimization

• Fixed Heart of Enmity's boss combat tag not being applied correctly when the fight starts
• Fixed Heart of Enmity only rarely aiming at nearby players when landing his grab and batting them away. For real this time?
• Fixed Heart of Enmity backing away from players that are in melee range
• Fixed a lot of Heart of Enmity's attacks not stunning at all. Oops
• Fixed Denial Repulse
• Fixed 1H Gun crit not hitting when close to an enemy
• Fixed Stormcaller Slash causing Lightning Blade endlag to linger longer than necessary
• Fixed Lightning Blade magnet spark slash erroneously being after Stormcaller Slash
• Fixed Kyrsglaive, Kyrswynter and Serrated Warspear not dealing bleed damage despite their tooltips showing so

• Fixed animations not replaying properly on weapon equip/unequip
• Fixed gliding not refreshing animation state (i.e. fixed the weird glider dance)
• Flame Sentinel hitscan fix that made Chaser's Jars no longer break on casting the mantra reverted in L2F1, the hitscan will still no longer deal damage to enemies and structures elsewhere

• Fixed being teleported back up to a wildly different spot if you clip below the map in the overworld
• Fixed Carnival of Hearts not adding you as a participant if you load in more than a few seconds late
• Added a fallback safety system for if map geometry changes that should prevent you falling to your death when you log back in
• While we work on a new rewrite of the sea, the sea has been reverted back to how it was before, as the version ingame is mostly just laggy and ugly. When we release the new rewrite, it'll be available as a new option, instead of being forced onto everyone. Our plan is to eventually make it default, but this won't happen until we're happy with the performance.
• The upside is that the algorithm behind the sea rewrite can actually be used with the old sea, so it isn't a complete reversion!
• New Relic Equipment: Mantle of Enmity
• New Critical: True Seraph Spear
• New Ring: Chained Ring; Reduces incoming knockback but removes your ability to Air Dash
• Enmity can now be challenged by up to 20 players. Beware, his difficulty increases as you bring more comrades!

Patch 2.1.8a
Sea Revert• While we work on a new rewrite of the sea, the sea has been reverted back to how it was before, as the version ingame is mostly just laggy and ugly. When we release the new rewrite, it'll be available as a new option, instead of being forced onto everyone. Our plan is to eventually make it default, but this won't happen until we're happy with the performance.
• The upside is that the algorithm behind the sea rewrite can actually be used with the old sea, so it isn't a complete reversion!
March 1st, 2025
Training Mode
• Added Training Mode, a new option available in the main menu under 'Combat Training'
• Accessible even without a character, Training Mode lets you fight against a trainer and set their parameters on the fly, letting players figure out the combat system intuitively
• Individual behaviors like parrying, dodging, blocking, moving, attacking, etc. can all be toggled separately, letting you practice freely
• Training Mode also lets you swap between weapon types and heal whenever you need to
• Blade Temple instructor sparring now takes you to this mode on an existing character, letting you fight against a basic NPC in a controlled environment. The intent here isn't to create a sandbox lab, but rather just a place where you can figure out the combat
• A training instructor is now available at Heart Plaza in Greathive Aratel
Content & Systems
• New Critical: Tanto
• All Guild Bases are now visible on the map UI, not just your own
• World Events are now visible on the map UI and will update their locations in realtime

• Right-clicking a keybind now clears it (backspace already did the same)

• Fixed Jar of Souls' beam hitbox width and visuals not matching up
• Crazy Slots GS ability damage reduced slightly
• The Book UI is now draggable
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Optimized a lot of the meshes in ignition union areas. Some of these models were very poorly optimized previously so there should be some good performance gains
• Fixed the bug of attempting to use Relentless Hunt while on cooldown increasing your attack speed. (For real)
• Fixed several issues with the glossary system that was causing it to miss a lot of terms in dialogue/books with entries

February 22nd, 2025
Visual Overhauls
• The sea has been visually reworked. As well as looking better, it should also perform better as it now multithreads the wave calculations

• The sea now dynamically changes color to match weather/biome
• Low GFX mode no longer turns the sea into an ugly flat plane, instead reducing the resolution
• Added a custom chat bubble design
• Added a few ways to flavor your chat messages. Typing a chat message in all caps or ending in an exclamation mark now makes it bold. Typing a chat message wrapped in asterisks now makes it italicised. There's a few more ways to alter your chat, but we'll let you figure those ones out

• Fixed Immortality/Immortal Helm not working on Detonation, Deferred, Poser's Ring, Chip Damage, Auto Executes

• Fixed Ceaseless Slashes breaking when used by Visionshaper Clones
• Fixed Equalizer not cancelling Sightless Beam post-counter
• Fixed Shields not appearing on your back when sheathed sometimes
• Fixed a bug with how Visionshaper clones are acknowledged
• Fixed Rising Wind making Scion drop into the void
• Fixed being able to use Idols of Yun'Shul while wiped. Prevents being able to reroll Resonances in this state which would cause you to not receive your Echo Triumph for having one
• Fixed Dimensional Travel being usable in glads
• Fixed list prompt coloring (e.g. Armorer's Needle prompt)
• Fixed a number of Frostdraw VFX's always being recolored regardless of whether you have Glass Path: Crystallization or not

February 8th, 2025
Content & Systems
• New AGL/STR Mantra: Twinstrikes
• Added Training Dummies to the Guild Base Training room. Training Dummies display damage numbers on hit
• Chime ranks ingame now go up to #999
• Guild ranks ingame now go up to #500
• Fixed leaderboards by adding a cache system behind the scenes. Should also cut down on server bandwidth
• Updated Battle Royale's weapon pool, adding over 50 new weapons to the mix!
Gladiator Gamemode
• Added Challenge: Gladiator to the Chime of Conflict. Specify a player to send them a request to fight their team. This doesn't have to be sent in the same server as them. You'll need a minimum of 3 participants alongside you, capping off at your desired team size. You can fight with team sizes of up to 20 a side
• Once gathered, you'll face off against the other team. Every member of your team gets a number indicating their order in the roster. Each team will have 2 fighters active in the arena at a time. Should a fighter die, they'll be replaced by the next player in their team's roster. This keeps going until either your team runs out of members - or your opponents do!
Boss Changes
• The categorisation of enemies as minibosses/bosses/world bosses has been revised. Minibosses are elite enemies that are harder to kill than the other enemies you face in an area. Bosses are challenging enemies that are usually the strongest in the area. Worldbosses are threats that are the strongest in a region and that may require coordination with several other players to defeat
• The Worldbosses currently are: Heart of Enmity, Parasol, Caeranthil's Wake, Scion of Ethiron
• The Bosses currently are: Dread Serpent, Chaser, Duke, Maestro, Ferryman, Primadon
• Worldbosses now grant double the Resonance prog and attribute training EXP
• Heart of Enmity now awards Knowledge on defeat if you contribute more than 20% of the damage
• Killing World Bosses in general will now net you 1 Knowledge per kill if you contribute more than 25% to the kill, and will give you 2 Knowledge the first time you contribute more than 10% to the kill
• You now only get Knowledge from minibosses the first time you contribute more than 50% to the kill
• You now get 2 Knowledge from killing bosses the first time you contribute more than 33% to the kill
• Many of the inherent rewards formerly tied to defeating a Worldboss now apply to Bosses instead
• Heartstars now have a small chance to drop from Chaser
• Removed the interaction where mobs with cannonball resistance (Parasol, Dread Serpent) would bypass cannons being able to pierce through Ranged Armor. This should make cannons much more effective against them
• Slightly reduced Heart of Enmity's health scaling per additional player above 5 (50000 -> 40000)
• Slightly reduced Heart of Enmity's damage multiplier per additional player above 5 (15% -> 10%, limit: 45% max -> 30% max)
Balancing & Tweaks
• Soulbreaker's Mobility slot is now a Wildcard slot
• Given the addition of Backstepping as a mechanic, Fast Blade has been reverted to how it was before its rework, as the main issue with it was the ability to freely disengage by s-holding
• Autoparry no longer works against Vents
• Gun users can no longer reload while parrying & blocking
• Feinting now cancels heavy m1 hyperarmor early
• Greatly reduced waiting time between Carnival of Hearts minigames

Gladiator Gamemode
• Added Challenge: Gladiator to the Chime of Conflict. Specify a player to send them a request to fight their team. This doesn't have to be sent in the same server as them. You'll need a minimum of 3 participants alongside you, capping off at your desired team size. You can fight with team sizes of up to 20 a side
• Once gathered, you'll face off against the other team. Every member of your team gets a number indicating their order in the roster. Each team will have 2 fighters active in the arena at a time. Should a fighter die, they'll be replaced by the next player in their team's roster. This keeps going until either your team runs out of members - or your opponents do!
Boss Changes
• The categorisation of enemies as minibosses/bosses/world bosses has been revised. Minibosses are elite enemies that are harder to kill than the other enemies you face in an area. Bosses are challenging enemies that are usually the strongest in the area. Worldbosses are threats that are the strongest in a region and that may require coordination with several other players to defeat
• The Worldbosses currently are: Heart of Enmity, Parasol, Caeranthil's Wake, Scion of Ethiron
• The Bosses currently are: Dread Serpent, Chaser, Duke, Maestro, Ferryman, Primadon
• Worldbosses now grant double the Resonance prog and attribute training EXP
• Heart of Enmity now awards Knowledge on defeat if you contribute more than 20% of the damage
• Killing World Bosses in general will now net you 1 Knowledge per kill if you contribute more than 25% to the kill, and will give you 2 Knowledge the first time you contribute more than 10% to the kill
• You now only get Knowledge from minibosses the first time you contribute more than 50% to the kill
• You now get 2 Knowledge from killing bosses the first time you contribute more than 33% to the kill
• Many of the inherent rewards formerly tied to defeating a Worldboss now apply to Bosses instead
• Heartstars now have a small chance to drop from Chaser
• Removed the interaction where mobs with cannonball resistance (Parasol, Dread Serpent) would bypass cannons being able to pierce through Ranged Armor. This should make cannons much more effective against them
• Slightly reduced Heart of Enmity's health scaling per additional player above 5 (50000 -> 40000)
• Slightly reduced Heart of Enmity's damage multiplier per additional player above 5 (15% -> 10%, limit: 45% max -> 30% max)

Content & System
• New Oath: Soulbreaker
• New Relic Weapon: Vortex Echo
• Reworked Stone Knight anims
Swing-Speed Endlag Rework
• The swingspeed-proportional Endlag formula for M1's now curves between 1x and 1.2x, with the minimum swingspeed-proportional Endlag now being 0.05s. Previously, the swingspeed would be linear until ~1.13x, and would then follow a shallower gradient.
• The benefit here is that weapons above 1x swing speed no longer have an unintuitive breakpoint to them, and high speed weapons don't need endlag slapped onto them to balance them out. The main impact here to balance is that some weapons between 1x and 1.2x swingspeed may have higher endlag than before, but this change should make balancing them a lot more intuitive.
• The 0.05s of Endlag for daggers with swingspeeds higher than 1.2x has been removed as this is now handled by the new formula. Shouldn't have any noticeable change whatsoever
• Jus Karita/Anklets of Alsin endlag removed (previously 0.05s). Shouldn't have any noticeable change as the new formula gives them ~0.05s endlag
• Coral Cestus, Broodalloy Cestus, Drakemaw Gauntlets, Golden Swordfish, Crucible Rapier swingspeed increased (1.09x -> 1.10x)
• Alloyed Tanto swingspeed increased (1.14x -> 1.15x)

• Chorus of Agonies crit hyperarmor now starts after a 0.3s delay. Reduced second hit damage
• Chorus of Agonies swing speed increased (0.62x -> 0.7x, seems like a buff but it's to make it less of a 'so slow you can't predict it' gimmick), chip damage reduced (50% -> 25%), posture damage reduced (15 -> 10)
• Fixed Saintsblade Wind not being parryable
• LFT #1 Critical windup reduced by 0.1s
• LFT Willpower scaling increased (10 -> 11)

• Decreased Parasol Planter bleed reduction (75% -> 33%)
• Molten Defence now has the same delay as regular eruptions
• Uproar hyperarmor now ends early if you land a hit on another player
• Jet Kick should fling you less often. Audio cue is louder too

• Feinting Rising Shadow now cleans up the windup particles more quickly
• Feinting Ice Carve or Ice Skate now cleans up the windup particles more quickly
• Embolism temporary HP no longer resists against chime storm damage
Bugfixes & Optimization
• Optimized endlag on M1's for weapons with an endlag stat, made their timing a lot more consistent
• Optimized sliding vfx
• Optimized our internal scheduler for removing things after a set delay. Should have some good performance benefits
• Fixed Rising Thunder and Tacet Drop Kick making the Scion of Ethiron drop down like a sack of bricks, which caused softlocks

• Fixed not being able to start the Deep Crucible event

• Fixed rigging on Warlock's Mantle
• Parasol no longer gets permastuck on walls
• Fixed pathing route on Parasol World Event pathing it straight through a wall
• Spine Cutter proc now has priority over Mayhem's input
• Wartreads of Enmity statline changed: (5 HP, Perseverance, 2x LEG pip -> 5 HP, 1 Posture, 2x LEG pip)
• Greatly increased cooldown on Caeranthil's Wake dive attack
• Humanoid mobs should now only use complex pathfinding when they really have to (similarly to how monsters using the new behavior won't)
• 2x chests btw
• Iron Requiem running crit can now only fire 4 bullets in succession instead of the full 6
• Iron Requiem standing crit now only procs Rapid Fire if used with ammo already loaded
• Tooltip stat comparisons now show the difference between the values (e.g. +0.12x speed, -1 posture)
• Fixed a few abilities like Katana crit not hitting
• Fixed Soulbreaker mantras not loading
• New Oath: Soulbreaker
• New Relic Weapon: Vortex Echo
• Reworked Stone Knight anims

January 4th, 2025
Content & System
• New Pistol: Rosen's Roscoe
• New Echo Upgrade: Multifaceted; "The 5 Attribute Points you usually receive from your Aspect are now free for you to allocate". Once unlocked, this will apply to all of your existing slots and all future characters. Existing characters won't see their attributes change, but their minimum values will be removed for e.g. Shrine of Mastery
• New Echo Upgrade: Elementalist; "You no longer have a limit to how many Attunements you can start with, and can freely allocate points between them in Character Creation."

Difficulty score is calculated per player, with each power adding 3 points and each drown adding 1 point, then taking the score of the player with the highest score. In other words, at least one player must be at least Power 20 or have a high enough number of drowns now

• Monsters using the new Monster behavior system should now only use complex pathfinding if they get stuck
• Stone Knights, Golems, Hive Constructs, Threshers, and their variants have been converted to the new Monster controller
• Stone Knight heads have been remodelled. Stone Knights are a little less tall in general

• Fixed larger mobs being unable to properly pathfind back to their spawn point
• Threshers now have much less janky movement as their pivot point is now at their chest instead of their hips

• If a mob that would usually be a guard is spawned as part of a random event, the guard behavior will be overwritten. This saves on a fair bit of performance as they won't try to pathfind back to their spawn location
• Removed some laggy static events and replaced them with dynamic events
• Fixed larger mobs being unable to properly pathfind back to their spawn point
• Threshers now have much less janky movement as their pivot point is now at their chest instead of their hips
• Optimized Miner's Landing by removing a lot of areas that were never used

Clarification on Multifaceted: Basically, the 5 points you get from your Aspect get freed up for you to allocate however you want instead of being determined by your Aspect. e.g. instead of getting a +3 to FTD and a +2 to WLL, you just get +5 points to spend however you like instead of being locked to FTD/WLL
