Update 2.1 Patch Notes

The Season begins at daily reset (00:00 GMT) on Tuesday 20th June.

Values in bold are affected by the rarity or element of the item.

Necrotic Tome (Weapon)

Found deep in the Doomwood forests, this tome has the power to give life or to destroy it – both of which may come at great cost to the wielder.

When Dealing damage with this item’s Gem Color, there is a 35-50% chance to apply a stack of Doom on the enemy.

Necrotic Barrier (Shield)

Depictions of the Doomwood forest adorn the front of this shield as a reminder of the origin of its strong wooden core.

While I have Doom, increase my Block Chance by 15-30%.

Necrotic Visage (Helm)

The shape of this helm’s visor is a tribute to the owls of the Doomwood.

At the start of battle there is a 50-80% chance to inflict Terror on the enemy for 3 turns.

Necrotic Steps (Boots)

One should tread carefully when wearing the shoes of the dead. Thankfully, these boots are brand new.

If I have Doom, gain 35-50 Speed.

Necrotic Binding (Ring)

A pointed reminder of those who came before, forged from a piece of a slain Arachnitaur’s armor.

At the start of my turn, if the enemy has Terror, gain 1 – 4 to all mana

Necrotic Sign (Necklace)

Due to its sharp point, this necklace doubles as a tool for stripping the bark from dead oak trees.

If the enemy has Terror, increase any healing on me by 35-50%.

When matching Skulls, there is a 1-6% chance to apply 1 stack of Doom to the enemy.

Time and barnacles may have ravaged much of this once-shiny garment, but the decorative face of an ancient god that adorns its front seems somehow indestructible.

Adventures are now able to award bonus xp to specific classes

It’s now possible to preview what Merchants Deals and Fae Gifts are available after starting an adventure.

Some nodes will be able to be revisited in future Adventures.

While the latest spider-friend in PQ3 is adorable to some of us, others have a decidedly different opinion. So this prompted us to add the Arachnophobia setting!

The Arachnophobia Setting will replace all the animated arachnids in battles with our new friend, Pink Owlbear
Still images of arachnids (such as those used for the battle icons) will not be swapped
The Arachnophobia Setting can be changed at any time in the General Settings menu
In your first battle against an arachnid, you will be prompted with a one-time message asking if you would like to enable Arachnophobia Mode
Accessing the settings from this prompt will enable Arachnophobia by default

You can now revisit any enemy you’ve previously defeated in the Bestiary tab on the Adventurer’s Guide!

Selecting an entry will show more detailed information of their passive and spells, along with a 3D preview of the enemy.
Selecting an enemy in a pre-battle display or the enemy’s portrait in battle will also open up the details view.
Note: As a result, the Gem Board overlay for enemies was removed.
