Introducing the Alchemist: Master of Mayhem
Say hello to the Alchemist, the wild card your party didn’t know it needed. Forget swords—this potion-slinging genius chucks explosive brews that splash chaos across the battlefield, delivering that sweet AOE destruction.
Also, we're adding the super secret brewing pots. Will you discover the recipes for the new ultra powerful potions?
New Item Tooltips: Knowledge is Power
Not all is just expansion work. We've improved the game in a variety of ways that are available today!
Our new item tooltip system kills the guesswork. See exactly what an item does before you grab it—but here’s the catch: your loremaster needs to be nearby. Stick together, because splitting the party is still a death sentence!
New Rarity System: Fortune Favors the Bold
Loot just got a serious upgrade with our new rarity system. From humble trinkets to jaw-dropping heroic treasures, every chest is a gamble worth taking. Plus, we’ve added a shiny new Luck stat to tilt the odds your way.
How It Works
When a chest spits out an item, the game rolls a random number between 0 and 1. With Luck at 1 (default):
- Above 0.95: Heroic gear!
- 0.85: Epic loot.
- 0.7: Rare finds.
- 0.5: Uncommon stuff.
- Below 0.5: Common goods.
The Luck stat bends this curve—boost it above 1 for better drops, or let it dip if you’re feeling risky. And in the expansion? Watch for the exclusive Luck potion, brewable only by the daring!
