Changes

• Items now have a "Rarity" property. This property defines the text color of an item and can be seen when you look at an item.
• Basements have finally been added, they'll be available at the Sovereign Shop!
• Souls gathered as a result of casting Duach Vengeance on a target now have a use; The good souls will move you to evil by 20 points, evil souls will move you to good by 20 points and neutral souls will move to neutral by 20 points.
• The Winter Festivities have ended and the snow has subsided.
• The Realm's audio system has been overhauled as to enable more dynamic content in the future, as well as great Mac support.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug where items not meant to be engraved could be engraved.

On the Horizon

• Loot tables will become a little more dynamic, we are tightening the grip on the RNG. We have re-written the loot system to generate loot on death of NPCs, and on opening of treasure chest. This allows us to account for time since a valuable item was found, how many NPCs you've killed, your level vs. the opponents level and more. This will be a soft roll out, we will target specific areas of the world and do them one at a time. Since this is a new system and will likely require many tweaks it will be distributed over the course of weeks.

Hello Realmers!

On behalf of all of the staff we hope you and your families are enjoying the holiday season!

Today's patch brings miscellaneous quality of life updates and bug fixes. Read below for all the details!

Miscellaneous

• Changed drop rates in open world for new skill books to be proportional to the difficulty of the area.
• Fixed miscellaneous room errors with object placement

Bug Fixes

• Fixed condition where malformed pocket could crash client when casting poison barrage.
• Fixed combat log for armor ignore not outputting damage properly.

Dungeons

• Recent changes to Snake Pit and Imp Haven have been ported to their heroic variants
• Updated dungeon scaling for heroic dungeons to make the scaling less severe and punishing for groups of different sizes (more detail below)
• Added dungeon scaling to remaining non-heroic dungeons
• Increased drop rate of new skillbooks in heroic dungeons
• Increased drop rate and added more drop locations for rare loot in The Underground
• Add new prestige skills as drops to DP and HC

New Dungeon Scale Rates

In addition to adding existing non-heroic dungeons to scaling, we've evened out the curve. In some case, the scaling was a disincentive to add a second or sixth player to the group. We feel that making the curve more gradual and consistent at breakpoints should help alleviate those concerns, See below for the new rates, which represent the scaling as of time of this patch. Keep in mind that dungeon scaling rates may change at any time and that this table will not be retroactively updated.
