Patch Notes

Gem Stat Augment and Reroll System

• Improve or change a stat on a gem using the new Gem Forge!
• The recipe to craft a personal Gem Forge can be found in an Adventurer's Crafting Bench under the “Gem & Gear Improvement” section.
• New crafting materials to support this system have also been added:
  • Bound Brilliance, which can be found in Boons or collected from events. (What’s a Boon? See the note on “Daily Reward Chests” below!)
  • Binding Darkness, which can be found in Gem Booster Boxes and Empowered Gem Boxes, or can (rarely) be dropped by mini bosses in the open world.
• Four additional recipes have also been added to the Adventurer's Crafting Bench in the “Gems” section:
  • Builder's Rough Focus: Can be used at a Gem Forge to improve a gem’s stats. Requires 1 Bound Brilliance, 4 Hearts of Darkness, and 2,000 flux to craft.
  • Builder's Precise Focus: Can be used at a Gem Forge to improve a gem’s stats. Requires 1 Bound Brilliance, 3,000 water gem dust, 3,000 fire gem dust, 3,000 air gem dust, and 4,000 flux to craft.
  • Builder's Superior Focus: Can be used at a Gem Forge to improve a gem’s stats. Requires 1 Bound Brilliance, 30 Diamond Dragonite, 3 Titan Souls, and 150,000 flux to craft.
  • Contained Chaos Spark: Can be used to reroll any stat on a gem. (Be aware that gems can’t have both the Physical Damage and Magic Damage stats simultaneously.) Requires 3 Lunar Souls, 4 Binding Darkness, and 2,100 Eyes of Q'bthulhu to craft.
• The Health Regeneration stat will no longer appear on newly obtained gems! Existing gems with Health Regen will continue to function and may be improved with the new system. However, if Health Regen is removed from a gem via rerolling, it can never be replaced. (The Health Regen stat on equipment remains unchanged.)

Gem Booster Boxes have been rebalanced:

• Binding Darkness has been added to the drop table.
• Gem dust has returned to the drop table.
• The drop rates for Jade Clovers, Glittering Horseshoes, Golden Gem Keys have been reduced.
• These changes were necessary to ensure the drops from Gem Booster boxes support a wider range of players.
• Daily Reward Chests have been rebalanced and are now called Boons of a Celestial Paragon:
  • There are 12 boons in total, one for each month of the year.
  • They now have a very rare chance to drop the 18-token monthly reward.
  • Bound Brilliance has been added to the common drop table.
  • The number of Dragon Coins that drop from one roll has been increased. (MOAR RAWR!)
  • The number of Jade Clovers that drop from one roll has been decreased.
  • These changes raise the overall value of drops from daily chests. Err, Boons. They raise the value of drops from Boons. Because that’s what daily chests are called now.
• The Book of Bound Brilliance is now available to craft at the Adventurer’s Crafting Bench! This Legendary Tome will grant 5 Bound Brilliance once a week.
• Loot collecting leveled gems just got a whole lot better! The amount of Gem Dust obtained from deconstructing a leveled gem has been increased by up to 300% at Level 5, 700-1200% at level 10, up to 2000% at level 15, and up to 1000% at Level 20+. Transitioning from an older gem to a shiny new one will now be MUCH less expensive.

Subclasses

• The new subclass system is unlocked ~automagically~ at level 10!
• Any unlocked class can now be equipped as a subclass using the new 5th ability slot on the Character Sheet.
• Each subclass provides a unique passive ability along with a stat boost! The effectiveness of the passive increases based on the active Power Rank of the subclass, while the stat boost improves based on the level of the subclass.
• An active class may not be designated as its own subclass.
• Subclasses are now also displayed on the “Select a Class” window, along with the class's level and power rank.
• Each class gives the following bonuses when selected as a subclass:
  • Gunslinger: Provides extra jump and increases all damage done to enemies while airborne.
  • Neon Ninja: Provides extra jump and grants a chance to deal bonus damage to enemies at less than 20% health.
  • Dino Tamer: Provides extra Attack Speed and grants Critical Hits a chance to briefly root targets.
  • Lunar Lancer: Provides extra Attack Speed; during combat, grants a chance to briefly transform into a Lunar Lancer and receive some of its power.
  • Ice Sage: Provides extra Magic Damage; activates a shield that absorbs incoming damage when successfully attacking foes. The shield is equal to 5% of Max Health.
  • Dracolyte: Reduces cooldowns and grants Physical Damage a chance to set enemies on fire.
  • Knight: Provides extra flask capacity and increases movement speed while riding ground-based mounts.
  • Pirate Captain: Provides extra magic find and has a chance to drop a cannon ball from the sky when damaging enemies.
  • Chloromancer: Provides extra Maximum Health; damaging enemies grants a chance to activate thistles and reflect incoming damage.
  • Tomb Raiser: Provides extra Critical Hit and has a chance to spawn a random minion from a fallen foe. Only one minion of this type can be active at any given time.
  • Revenant: Reduces incoming damage and grants basic attacks a chance to trigger a taunt.
  • Shadow Hunter: Provides extra Magic Damage and grants magic attacks a chance to activate Searing Light, which deals damage over time.
  • Candy Barbarian: Provides extra Stability and has a chance to drop candy when damaging an enemy. The candy increases attack and either movement speed or healing.
  • Fae Trickster: Increases gliding speed and grants Critical Hits a chance to spawn bombs that damage and stun enemies.
  • Boomeranger: Increases Critical Damage and spawns a fae companion that provides healing if its master falls to low health.
• Note that the subclass passive for the Dracolyte is designed to support players who primarily play magic damage classes and want to experiment with physical damage classes. The subclass passive for Shadowhunters is designed to do the opposite. These may be swapped if they prove too confusing.

Shadow Tower Foyer

• Players entering the Shadow Tower via the Atlas spawn into the new Shadow Tower Foyer:
  • The foyer contains three separate platforms indicating desired difficulty level, allowing players to easily find other adventurers to partner with. The platforms may or may not also provide random pools to fish in.
  • Entering the foyer automatically adds players to the "ShadowTower" chat channel. Leaving the foyer automatically removes them.
  • Players entering the Shadow Tower via a portal now have the option of entering the tower directly or heading first to the foyer.

Shadow Hydrakken

• The fearsome Shadow Hydrakken has awakened on the Shadow Tower’s fourth floor! This ancient, multi-headed beast spews vile acid on its foes--talk about morning breath!
• Watch out for parasites!
• Hisssssssssssss. Don't heck with him. 5x Wall Snek.

Darknik Dreadnought

• The Darknik Dreadnought, Dr. Darknik's latest mechanical machination, now guards the fifth floor of the Shadow Tower. A battle robot bristling with armaments, it’s ready to give Trovian invaders a very, VERY warm welcome!
• You won't like him when he's angry.
• Adventurers wishing to avoid their curtain call had best employ a better defense than Cubic Curtain.

Additional Shadow Tower Updates

• Higher-quality keys can now be used to open Shadow Vaults. Moon Keys can open Normal and Hard Shadow Vaults, while Eclipse Keys can open Normal, Hard, and Ultra Shadow Vaults.
• Titan and Lunar Souls now drop from Shadow Vaults instead of being directly awarded after defeating a Shadow Titan.
• Daughter of the Moon now drops a new resource called Despoiled Divinity in addition to Lunar Souls. One Despoiled Divinity can be earned for each Shadow Tower difficulty, up to a maximum of 3 per week.

  • Shadow Hydrakken Normal/Hard/Ultra: 1/3/5
  • Darknik Dreadnought Mk II Normal/Hard/Ultra: 1/3/5

• An assortment of new enemies have migrated to the Shadow Tower.
• Shields no longer prevent being killed by the Daughter of the Moon's one-shot attack.
• Elemental worlds now drop Shadow Key Fragments, Moon Key Fragments, and Eclipse Key Fragments. These all have a chance to drop from clearing 1-star and 3-star dungeons, similar to how gem boxes currently drop in Prime Worlds. Patron status gives two such chances (which may result on any given chest as 0, or 1, or 2 of the drops that a Prime World chest of the same Uber level would drop.)
• Prime Worlds now drop more Shadow Key Fragments, Moon Key Fragments, and Eclipse Key Fragments. 1-star Dungeons will see their drops increased by approximately 50%, while 3-star dungeons will see their drops increased by variable amounts. Patron status doubles such drops.

New Dragons

  • Voidwalker Dragon Egg Fragments for Indurion, the Unwavering, can be found in Shadow Caches.

• The Trovian Atlas is a new visual representation of all the worlds in Trove, including the Prime Worlds, Drowned Worlds, Cursed Skylands, Igneous Islands, Shores of the Everdark, and the Shadow Tower Foyer. It’s basically an easy-to-use overworlds map that grants access to any world. (Yo block, we heard you like maps, so we put some maps in your map…)
• Simply open the Trovian Atlas, select the desired world, select Enter, and let the adventure begin. (Power Rank requirements still apply!)

Rise of the Shadow Tower Update! Arriving on 9/15/15!

==Game UPDATE==

Lunar Lancer is now live!

• This fast and foxy fighter can throw spears and grapple to them, support their allies by dropping an area effect buff, and (while fighting) can transform into lunatic mode – dishing out more damage and taking much less.
• An all-new weapon, the spear is now live and available for the Lunar Lancer

Lunacy Pack is now live!

• Pick up the Lunar Lancer, both costumes, two new mounts, and two store-bought legendary tomes at a deeply discounted price!

Shadow Tower is now live!

• Use the Adventurer’s Crafting Bench to craft a Shadow Tower portal that can be placed in your Club World.
• Unlock normal mode using a Shadow Key, and unlock hard mode using the new Moon Key.
• Each Shadow Tower floor is made up of 4 Shadow Arenas, or Dungeons, followed by a Shadow Titan boss fight. Defeat each floor once a week for unique rewards in the form of Titan Souls and Lunar Souls (spent at the Shadowy Market at the end of each floor).
• Hard mode floors grant a 50% bonus to damage to any class that is the only one of its kind. This is reduced to 25% for two of the class and 0% if there are three, or more.
• Eyes of Q’Bthulhu earned from Shadow Caches increased slightly.
• The Shadow Tower has replaced standalone Shadow Arenas, thus Shadow Dungeons and the Shadow Lair no longer spawn.

Legendary Tomes

• Legendary Tomes are now live. These tomes are worth 100 Mastery Points and can be triggered once a week for a large number of resources.
• Eye and Tentacle of Q’Bthulhu Legendary Tomes can be purchased with Lunar Souls
• Chaos Chest and Dragon Coin Legendary Tomes are available in the Trove Store.

Deals Update

• Rotating deals now refresh hourly instead of daily
• There is no longer a $5 rotating deal and instead there are two $20 rotating deals
• There are new, rare rotating deals, including a class coin, inventory space, Golden Chaos Chests, and more!

Challenge and Dragon Cache Update

• There is a new Ancient Dragon Cache which is now earned through challenges and on the Trove Store. This has 3 times as many Dragon Souls, 2.5 times as many Dragon Coins, no eyes of Q'Bthulhu and 35% less Flux. It no longer grants penta-souls as a rare result, but rarely does reward 5 coins or 10 dragon souls.
• Previous Ancient Dragon Caches will now be called ‘Flux Filled Ancient Dragon Caches’ and remain unchanged.
• Challenges now only go up to rank 3 and completing this rank grants a full non-tradable Dragon Soul. Uber 6 now grants a 4X multiplier instead of 9X.

Baldness

• Added a bald hairstyle to the barbershop! Go take off all that nasty hair! Designed by Mr. E.

Additional Updates and Fixes

• Origin portals can no longer be opened in the Shadow Tower

• Fixed a bug where inventory items could appear upside down, especially for Mac users.

• Reduced the count of consecutive days logged in needed in half for the consecutive days logged in badge. Some people have worked hard to max this, but the barrier was just too high if it got reset. This should make it more reasonable to try again if you can’t log in a day.

• Fixed extremely rare crash when merchant NPCs are attacked.

• Custom keybindings for Flask, and adventure item slots have been reset.

• Untradable Dragon Souls and other untradable items can now be deconstructed for 100 glim.
