Tomb Raiser Class Changes on PTS

For Mac players, we do have some unfortunate news however as there have been ongoing developmental challenges with the Mac OSX Catalina and Trove. Due to these complications, we are no longer able to support future versions of Trove on Mac, but keep in mind your account data, purchases, and progress will still remain on the account. You can learn more about our Mac support announcement here and additionally older versions of Mac OS may still work.

Since many of us have more time for Trove at home now, we’re sending good drops and good vibes out through Trove. Remember to stay safe, keep clean, and take breaks as needed!

This is a class thread specifically for PTS changes to Tomb Raiser, leave feedback here and check out changes below.

Tomb Raiser Changes

• Tomb Raiser’s passive now summons a Skellittle and grants a restless soul with each tick.
• Skellittles do not passively spawn in hub & club worlds.
• The primary attack (m1) now has a wider hit radius that more accurately matches the vfx.
• Bonetorage (m2) now does the following:
  • Consumes all restless souls on use, not just one.
  • Summons a Skellittle for each soul consumed.
  • If 6 Skellittles are already active, extra souls possess active Skellittles, causing them to take and deal extra damage.
• Banshee’s Boon (1) now does the following:
  • Costs 20 energy to use, both with and without the class gem equipped.
  • Has a 10 second cooldown.
  • Clarified what the ability does after the gem is equipped (it still activates ghost mode).
  • Class Gem banshee now lasts 5 seconds.
• Grave Goliath (2) now does the following:
  • Base level Grave Goliath is now as strong as the Grave Goliath used to be.
  • Using this ability now triggers off how many Skellittles are possessed.
  • Using the ability no longer kills Skellittles and instead removes their possessed state.

Shadow’s Eve falls upon Trove on October 23, 2018. This year the spooky celebration is bigger than ever with an 8 Adventure chain, two weeks of Daily Login Rewards, plus all-new Outpost Adventures that can be completed every day of the event!

Looking for a great guide to the festivities? Check out this post from our friends at Trovesaurus.

Shadow’s Eve
Each of the 8 Shadow’s Eve Adventures awards players with a new event reward called Shadowy Seals. You can also earn these seals every day by completing the repeatable Outpost Adventures offered by NPC in front of the Pumpkin House in the Trove Hub.

Each Shadowy Seal can be used at the Shadowy Station to craft scary epic items. Collect 10 Seals to craft the Bewitching Howlug ally. Collect 25 more to craft these gorgeous new Neon Hallowings!

Pumpkin Lairs are back in full force and can appear in any biome, including Forbidden Spires. Complete these dungeons to earn Candy Corn that can be used to craft Nightmare Mystery Boxes and other creepy collectables at the Shadowy Station.

The Colossal Chiropteran and the Uncanny Coffin, which were last year’s Mystery Box top prizes, can be crafted by anyone who missed out on them before.

When completing a 1-Star Dungeon, Todstrom has a chance to appear instead of a reward chest. Defeat him for an extra treat – Candy Corn and a rare chance at a Mobile Mummy mount!

Several sought after Halloween styles have been added to the Autumn Style Unlocker – Freaky Frankie, Moonhowl Mask, Brusque Broom, Bat Bow, and Pumpkin Pounder. In addition to all that, we’ve added 3 new hats styles to the unlocker as well - Pumpkin Pie-rate Hat, Rainbow Unicorn Wig, and Candy Corn Hood!

Trove Store
The Creepy Crawly Cranium Pack is now available. This pack contains:

• Colossal Skullcrawler mount[/*]
  
  
• Nefarious Nekomancer Tomb Raiser costume[/*]
  
  
• Impish Tormentor Lunar Lancer costume[/*]
  
  
• Bonkers Ally[/*]

The Gourdzilla mount is back and can be purchased for Credits.

Spooky Swag Bag is a returning Shadow’s Eve pack that’s now also available for Credits.

We’re thrilled to have you share your spoopy adventures with us during this frightfully fun holiday celebration!

And I have to say, I'm very disappointed. The costume looks plain compared to the stuff we currently have. The Bonetaurage minions actually look well, not much of a complaint from me, but the Grave Goliath... It's so plan and dull looking, the default skeleton looks far better than the Resistor counterpart.

Does anyone else feel the same way about these costumes?

Share your thoughts on what you were hoping to see. It's tough to get where you want us to be without clearly knowing the directions. I can definitely give the team info on what players like so we can figure out why people like what they like and make decisions with that in mind.

New Class, New Biome
