Barnaby Takes Longer Listings, and Meteor Blast Hits Harder

HB Evolution · published 8 Oct 2026, 20:06 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Update 1.50.0

Barnaby has learned patience. An item can now sit on his board for up to three days, so a good piece no longer has to find its buyer before you log back in. The four elemental talent spells have also been back on the scales, and Meteor Blast came off them noticeably heavier. Magic defense was weighed too: Magic Absorption now tops out at 60%.

You must update your client to log in. Close the game and the launcher, then reopen the launcher and press PLAY. On Steam the update is automatic.

New

  • Barnaby now lets you list an item for 1, 2 or 3 days. The listing fee is 10,000 gold for one day, 25,000 for two and 40,000 for three. A one-day listing used to cost 20,000.
  • Typing ! @ ~ $ % with chat closed opens it straight into that channel. Typing # sends a single message to Local without leaving your whisper or Party chat.

Changed

  • Meteor Blast deals 45% more damage. Earth Shock Wave deals 14% less, Blizzard 5% less and Fury of Thor 2% less.
  • Magic Absorption is now capped at 60%, down from 80%. The cap covers general and elemental absorption added together.
  • The Emerald Ring and the Ruby Ring now add their 20% and 10% to your Magic Absorption: they show on the character window (F5) and count toward the 60% cap.
  • Vitality now removes at most 25% of a magic hit, and a spell that lands always deals at least 1 damage.
  • Earthshatter's guaranteed stun now lasts 1 second, down from 1.5.
  • Cleave hits from Axe, Fencing and Colossus Slam now use each target's own Physical Absorption instead of the main target's.
  • Aresden Dungeon and Elvine Dungeon no longer reduce the experience of characters above level 80.
  • The Ruby Ring now goes through Item Drops (F6) instead of falling on the ground.
  • Whisper mode no longer switches itself off after 60 seconds. While it is on, a channel you pick by hand applies to that one message, and the next one goes back to your whisper.
  • Shift + 1 to 5 and Shift + ` now only open chat; they no longer also trigger a hotkey action.

Fixed

  • Invisibility Scrolls, Invisibility Potions and Detect Invisibility Scrolls work with any weapon or shield equipped, and no longer need or spend mana.
  • Taking weak hits while casting no longer shortens or stalls your cast time.
  • Meditation's tooltip now states what you keep: cast on yourself, it nets about 5% of your Max MP after its cost.
  • The Str and Mag tooltips credit the Merien talent for its bonus instead of the Angel.
  • The wiki bestiary shows the experience a monster actually gives you, with a breakdown by level.
