CHANGELOG

GUILDS

BESTIARY

The journal will now track your monster sightings and kills. When you defeat monsters you'll unlock combat hints, and earn unique titles. We are still reviewing feedback with this, so please let us know your thoughts.

ELITE MONSTERS

Elite monsters now roam the land and may appear in place of normal creatures. They are stronger, but defeating them yields greater rewards. Look for the golden outline to spot these fearsome foes. Bosses cannot spawn as elite creatures.

LOOT

We've made significant changes to creature loot, especially for higher-level monsters that are frequently farmed. Most of these creatures now drop a specific rare item unique to them, giving players more variety and control when hunting for specific gear. We've also reviewed the most sought-after items in the game and redistributed them to creatures we feel are a better thematic or game play fit. Overall creature/loot value, unless specified, remains the same.
