This patch introduces a brand new Atlas Passive Tree for Runes of Aldur, expanded Expedition customisation, level-scaling Unique Items, a new currency item for Atziri’s Temple, and more.
Runes of Aldur Changes
Added an Expedition Atlas Passive Skill Tree. You can earn Atlas Passive Points for this by defeating each Boss in The Grand Expedition questline.
Added a new currency, Liquid Verisium: Immediately start a Runic Remnant Encounter with a random Runic Inscription This can be purchased from Farrow using Verisium, after allocating the new Feeling Lucky? Expedition Atlas Passive Skill.
Grand Expeditions now have 1 to 2 Expedition Map Modifiers applied to the area. The following new Grand Expedition modifiers have also been added:
Increased number of Runic Monster Markers
Runic Monsters are Duplicated
Area contains additional Remnants
Remnants now randomly choose which Rune slot will propagate to further Monsters in Expeditions and Grand Expeditions, rather than randomly which Rune will propagate based on each recipe.
Added a highlight to the Rune that will be propagated upon completing a Remnant in the Runeshape Recipes list.
The chance for Runic Monsters from Expedition and Grand Expeditions to be Rare now correctly scales with increased to Monster Rarity and Rare chance.
The Aberration now stops its arena Meteor Rain on death.
Reduced the Cold Resistances of Uhtred, The Stardrinker and Vorana, Last to Fall.
Added an icon to the Endgame Map to indicate which Ocean Maps are Grand Expeditions.
Thaumaturgic Fluxes now counts towards the "Any Flux" condition for The Artisan Challenge.
Thaumaturgic Fluxes now appear in the Fluxes section of the Currency Exchange.
Fixed a bug in Expedition where Runes were not being empowered by Power Runes that were propagated from previously unearthed Remnants.
Endgame Changes
After killing Atziri, the Red Queen, her Vault now has a chance to drop 1 of 4 new Orb of Sacrifice currency items. These currencies upgrade Corrupted Enchantments on items, at the cost of randomly removing an Explicit Modifier.
Reduced the Chaos Damage bonus granted to The Arbiter of Ash when he plunges his sword into the Chaos Sphere.
Reduced the duration of the damage bonuses The Arbiter of Ash gains after plunging his sword into the Chaos or Cold Spheres from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.
Improved the visual timing of the Orbs of Divinity being orb-sorbed and granting the Divinity buff in the Arbiter of Divinity boss fight.
A number of the Pinnacle Bosses have had their resistances lowered as they were unintentionally too high.
Reduced the damage of the Lightless Serpent's Burning Ground in the Vessel of Kulemak boss fight.
Doryani's Refined Formula Atlas Master option now additionally has Grand Expeditions have only 5 Explosives. This overrides the maximum of 1 for Expeditions in these Maps.
New Content Features
Unique Items that grant Skills now use the lowest level of the Skill that you meet the requirements of when equipped, scaling up to the maximum described level on the item as you meet the Skill requirements. As an example, the Lifesprig Unique Wand that grants Level 20 Mana Drain is now able to be equipped at level 1, which will grant level 1 Mana Drain.
As a result of the above change, some Uniques have had a level requirement added:
The Sacred Flame Unique Sceptre now has a level requirement of 55.
The Eventide Petals Unique Amulet now has a level requirement of 55.
The Choir of the Storm Unique Amulet now has a level requirement of 55.
Added a new Unique item: The Master's Reach. This has a chance to drop from the Vessel of Kulemak Pinnacle Boss Fight when he's fully empowered by the Liches.
Holding Alt on a Currency item or stackable Fragment will now show the count of that Currency or Fragment within the same inventory, including trade windows.
Added a checkbox to hide the "You have Died" UI while you are dead.
