v1.22 Patch is Live

The focus of our latest patch was on adding new rare item drops and improving the lighting quality in a handful of maps in the game. 4 “sets” of equipment were added as rare drops. These will drop much less often than all other drops and are much more powerful than the equivalent equipment at that level. The 1st set is a “Blood Stained” Set with the health leech effect when dealing damage to a target. They range from level 4 to 20 and features all the melee weapon types. The next set are 4 rings that provide continual health and magic regeneration. They are rare and are level 10 and 18 drops. Next, there is a “Quick” set of Staves ranging from 3 to 20. They reduce the cooldown of magical abilities by 20% along with providing a lot of damage and generally lower magic consumption. Finally, there is a set of “Spiked” Armor from level 3-18 that provides a 15% damage shield along with a slight armor boost. Along with the new rare items we modified the lighting in the main menu, tutorial, tavern, some sewers, and all caves. This are slight tweaks that should improve the baked quality of the lighting and in some cases reduce the size on disk for the lighting as well. Items
