Mastery

  • Lil Pup has had his Mastery removed.

Progression
  • We've smoothed the experience curve to level 30 and reduced the amount of experience required from level 20-30.
  • Since Dragon Fire Peaks and Jurassic Jungle are restricted to U4 and U5, they will no longer appear as biome Challenges.
  • Invasions and World Bosses will no longer spawn in the first 2 worlds (Medieval Highlands/Novice and Permafrost/Adept). This change allows our newest players to get used to game mechanics a bit before being ROFLstomped by invaders.
  • Mastery Rank 20 is now required to use Trading, Community or Club Chests, and the Marketplace.
  • Starter Classes are now limited to only the 8 most accessible classes. Class Coins and other methods of acquiring Classes work as normal.
  • The introductory quest chain will no longer require players to join a club or enter the Shadow Tower

Classes
  • Damage from the Neon Ninja empowered class Gem ability, 'Heuristic Haxstar' should now stack correctly.
  • Fixed the damage reduction of the Tomb Raiser ability, 'Banshee's Boon' to correctly reduce damage by 90% (the tooltip always said 90%, but the ability was previously only reducing by 75%).
  • Corrected certain Revenant Class Gems descriptions to remove the incorrect statement "does not taunt.” Aegis Assault taunts like a boss!
  • Adjusted the cooldown sound for the Ice Sage's Gem power.
  • Updated the description on the Beckon Banshee Tomb Raiser Gems.
  • Updated the description on the Lunar Lancer ability 'Lunacy' to reflect the actual reduced damage.
  • Updated the following abilities to not collide with NPCs (similar to Dino Tamer's Clever Snare)
    • Boomeranger - Big Bomb and Mysterious Urn
    • Shadow Hunter - Sun Snare
    • Fae Trickster- Glitterbomb.
  • Revenant's Wraith passive ability once more applies 50% physical damage and 100% health regen while wraith is on cooldown.
  • Ability cooldowns are now reset to max when switching between classes.
  • Cooldown on dodge has been reduced from 3 seconds to 1.8 seconds, because it's just more fun that way.

Chaos Chests
  • Chaos Chests and Golden Chaos Chests now drop sometimes from dungeon chests. There are advantages to farming fast for these, but even more casual players will be able to earn them at a reasonable rate!
  • Any Chaos Chests acquired following this patch cannot be traded. Existing chests are still tradable. Tradable and non-tradable chests have separate karma bars.
  • Chaos Chest common and uncommon tables have been randomized and the uncommon table now includes Chaos Cores (a lootbox containing many Chaos Cores).
  • One week out of every 4 will now have a Chaos Mega-core as the top loot for the week.
  • The Chaos Chest rare table has been expanded to always include all previous “Chaos Chest only” collectibles at a low rate.
  • Shadow Pinatas now have a very rare chance to drop from Chaos Chests!
  • Chest-specific collectibles gained from opening chests can no longer be traded and will loot collect into Chaos Cores. Collectibles acquired prior to this patch remain tradable but cannot be loot collected.
  • Added the new Chaos Core Crafter workbench to the Novice Crafting Bench.
  • Crafting at this bench unlocks directly into Collections and prevent you from crafting anything you already have collected.
