Voiding Realmers!

The second part of Season 21 is starting right now! Fight hordes of Void Enemies, collect loot, and slay the tinted blooming flowers in the Realm.

  • Single-item blueprints now have collection icons and labels of their original item for forging.
  • Blueprint drops have been added to more locations

Ores Rebalance

With the inclusion of new forge values for UTs, Ores have become rather low-impact and we want to make sure these items are still valuable picks for the Item Forge.

  • Common Ore: 30 Common, 15 Rare
  • Rare Ore: 40 Common, 20 Rare
  • Epic Ore: 60 Common, 30 Rare
  • Legendary Ore: 60 Rare, 30 Legendary

Dust Drops

Dust drops have been increased across all dungeons in the game. 

  • +10% to Green Dust
  • +30% to Red Dust
  • +40% to Purple Dust

In addition, we have various changes to the dust available in the realm, mostly correcting encounters to drop the dust type you would expect.

  • Beer God now drops Red Dust instead of Purple Dust.
  • Ghost ship, Maze Minotaur, Goblin Patriarch, World’s Oyster, Daughter of Limon, Possessed Pumpkin, and Well of Lost Souls now drop red instead of green dust
  • Adult Baneserpent and Bloodroot Heart Now drop purple instead of red dust

Item Balance

Poisons

During the Assassin rework a lot of focus was put on damage boost as a new potential power boost for the class so the damage of poisons did not go up very much. After review it seems that while the damage boost has helped Assassin, the ability damage is still not up to par with other classes. More impact damage has been added to all poisons so they can deal more damage faster than before, and additionally WIS scaling has been increased so if you want to build for ability damage you can be much closer to other ability damage classes. The damage boost has also gone up just a little to try to help assassins catch up to other classes in dps.

Plague poison and its upgrade pandemic poison already received this base damage buff in advance so they are only getting scaling buffs.

Skulls

Last round of buffs skulls got increased base damage and doubled wis scaling for damage, turns out their wis scaling is still pretty bad so its time to double it again. We want it to be possible to build for an ability damage type necromancer setup but don’t want the base damage to go too high as the ability does still heal. Since necromancer starts scaling at 50 wisdom this will however increase damage a fair amount for any maxed necromancer.

Leather Armors

Many leather armors have gained 1 Def, this includes Hydra and higher tiers as well as most UTs and STs excluding those from exaltation dungeons and those focused on dps like tenne.

Additionally we have a few more leather changes to some cyan bag leather armors and have upgraded them to white bags, this is the beginning of a push to upgrade a lot of these kinds of items to whitebag items rather than cyans throughout the game.

Snake Skin Armor

New Stats: 15 DEF, 4 SPD, 4 DEX

Spectral Cloth Armor

New stats: 13 DEF, 5 ATT, 5 DEX

Coral Silk Armor

New Stats: 14 DEF, 8 DEX, 8 WIS

Woodland Mystic UT Set

The UT Mystic set from Magic Woods has struggled to be relevant at any point of the game’s progression, which meant it was time to review the set and make it a worthwhile choice for characters progressing through Adept content. Most notably, the power budget of the armor/ring items have increased significantly as a result of these items being converted to rarer white bag items.

Spirit Staff

Damage: 54-77 (from 35-70)

1 subattack at 105% fire rate

2 subattacks at 80% fire rate

(changes also apply to Foramite Staff)

Enchantment Orb

No longer inflicts Stasis

Applies Berserk on self for 2s.

Applies Curse on cursor for 3s within 2 tiles.

Duration of both effects scales by 1s every 15 WIS above 55.

Range of Curse effect scales by 1 tile every 15 WIS above 55.

Woodland Robe

New Stats: 12 DEF, 5 SPD, 5 DEX, 5 WIS

(New Proc Effect)

Fey Assistance: 3% chance to spawn a fairy while shooting.

Zap Fairy: Zaps enemies for 100dmg every 0.8s for 6.4s

Cooldown: 6.4s

Fairy Ring

New Stats: 60 HP, 5 SPD, 5 DEX, 5 VIT

(Adjusted Proc Effect)

Fey Assistance: 3% chance to spawn a fairy while shooting below 80% HP

Life Fairy: Heals you for 15HP/s for 8s

Cooldown: 8.0s

Phylactery Mystic ST Set

With the Enchantment Orb from Magic Woods gaining Berserk, it was time to revisit a set that was heavily reliant on this effect to deal damage, which has struggled poorly against most of the changes to the meta over the years. All changes are also applied to the Totalia Mystic Set.

The Phylactery

Shots: 1 (from 2)

Damage: 122-134 (from 80-100)

Rate of Fire: 125% (from 80%)

Hitbox size: +20%

Soul of the Bearer

MP Cost: 100 (from 150)

Cooldown: 4s (from 6s)

Stasis is centered on user within 4.5 tiles for 6 seconds

Applies Speedy and Berserk on self for 2.5s

Duration of both effects scales by 1s every 10 WIS above 55.

Soulless Robe

This item was unchanged.

Ring of the Covetous Heart

New Stats: 80 MP, 8 ATT, 8 WIS

Set Bonuses

2 Piece Bonus: 20 HP, 15 MP, 6 SPD, 7 WIS

3 Piece Bonus: 20 HP, 15 MP, 6 DEF, 8 VIT

4 Piece Bonus: 20 HP, 15 MP, 7 ATT, 6 DEF

Other Items

Bone Dagger

No balance changes since it got a range extension at the beginning of the season but we believe it is now fitting in power to be put in a white bag. Drops have been adjusted but should still be rather common.

Staff of Unholy Sacrifice

Now fires forward

Arc gap: 15 -> 13

Symbiotic Ripper

Damage: 115-170 -> 120-170

Kyuuketsuki Hitogoroshi

The shot of this weapon is now fired backwards which means it should boomerang a fair distance in front of the player instead of behind.

Damage: 300-350 -> 440-520

Elder Heartwood Staff

Pierce removed

Projectile speed: 160 -> 80

Damage: 55-100 -> 45-90

Wand of Hidden Knowledge

Fixed an issue that caused this wand to not burst fire as intended, this was causing this wand to deal vastly more damage than it was balanced for. The restoring of burst actually lowered its damage so much it needed a buff on its base damage. The curse boost however was still far too strong, and balancing the item around a near exclusive synergy with necronomicon was not going to work. The wand now has a less reliable way to self-curse without necronomicon but should find necronomicon to be far more consistent and have more uptime.

Damage: 185-215 -> 200-250

Proc Damage: 185-215 -> 70-95

New Proc: 40% on ability to curse yourself for 4 seconds. Cooldown 5 seconds.

Marionette Ravager

Damage: 75 -150 -> 60-140

Rate of Fire: 130% -> 150%

New Proc: Fires an additional shot every 2 seconds, this shot deals 200-300 damage and exposes for 1 second.

Primal Arcana

Primal arcana exists as a currently needed crutch for mystics relevance, however its ability to scale with fire rate and weapons with multiple subattacks can get a little out of hand. The following changes aim to keep the base damage output of the item about the same but to temper its ability to scale a little bit. This item still does a lot of damage, likely more than other classes would be allowed to have without any cost, so mystic should still remain fairly relevant, however it wont run the risk of exploding in power.

Proc Damage: 65-80 -> 100-120

Proc Cooldown: 0 ->0.2s

New proc: 33% chance to fire an additional middle shot that has 0 cooldown.

Rehearsal version has received the same changes but damage is 80-100

Vigor

Vigor received changes to be in line with the new Spirit Staff, with the following adjustments:

Damage: 70-84

Festival Spirit MP Cost: 0 (from 20)

Festival Spirit Chance: 2.5% (from 7.5%)

Snake Eye Ring

New Stats: 50 HP, 5 ATT, 5 DEF, 5 SPD

(proc unchanged)

Captain’s Ring

New Stats: 50 HP, 4 ATT, 4 DEX, 5 WIS, 5 VIT

Elegant Parasol

Cooldown: 4s (from 5s)

Ocular Entrapment

Damage: 1200 (from 1000)

Experimental Ring

New Stats: 60 HP, 60 MP, 5 VIT, 5 DEF

E.Y.E.

New Stats: 75 HP, 75 MP, 6 VIT, 6 DEF

Coral Ring

New Stats: 90 MP, 5 SPD, 5 DEX, 5 WIS

(magic reduction unchanged)
