ITEMS & GEAR

• Fixed a small chance of Scrolls of Unbinding dropping.
• Reduced chance of Scrolls of Lifebound dropping from champions, bosses and chests from 1 in 6 to 1 in 12.
• Fixed common pet tags spawning without affixes (other than enchanting slots).
• Addressed issue with digitus description saying it still limited targets hit.
• Fixed a few cases that could cause non-lootable item drops.

• Fixed a typo in affix data that could lead to helm or shoulders having evasion affixes with upwards of 90%. The evasion trait is hard-capped at 40%.
• Fixed issue where skills in the Legendarium are not saved if the player presses escape out of the legendarium menu before hitting equip.
• Fixed issue with Dusk Mage Molten Reach tentacles that deformed during the idle animation.

• Fixed so that Act 1 monsters reliably drop health potions, Act 2 monsters provide antidote potions and Act 3 monsters provide polarized potions.

• Replaced the very specific mapworks scroll bundles with bundles that give you one each of Blazing, Venomous and Voltaic map scrolls, but now the positive affixes on those scrolls is rolled from a number of different beneficial affixes.
• Low level magic gear should now drop with the terracotta and tan colored gear instead of the bright red.
• Addressed issue with Digitus description saying it still limited targets hit.
• Quest rewards now deliver random fort decorations from Contracts loot pool, instead of the random fort plans. This will prevent the player from receiving duplicate copies of fort plans as rewards.

• Legendarium affixes now apply set bonuses correctly.
• Wideload's Shield Bag consumable now drops directly into your inventory if there is enough room.
• Reduced the chance that Scrolls of Lifebound drop from normal (non-champion, non-boss) monsters to somewhere between 0.25% and 2%, depending on the monster.

• Fixed issue where Goblin banner is placed too low above the ground.
• Fixed up UI for traveling among forts:
  • If you're in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to your fort by clicking on "My Fort".
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has your own fort in it, you cannot click on "My Fort".
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has somebody else's fort in it (like a party member), then you can click on "My Fort" to go to your fort in Trevail's Passage.
  • If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to the party leader's fort by clicking on "Trevai's Passage".
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage with anybody's fort in it, then you cannot click on Trevail's Passage.
  • In fact, if you're in ANY place and you click on the place that you're at in the waypoint map, you cannot travel there.

  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you cannot create a portal to your fort.
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can create a portal to go to your own fort.
  • If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can create a portal to a party member's fort
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you can create a portal to a party member's fort.
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can only create a portal to a party member's fort if the fort doesn't already have that player's fort in it.

• Fixed cases where trying to go to your fort would potentially take you to somebody else's fort:
  • If you used the waypoint map to travel to Trevail's Passage, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the party leader's fort.
  • If you were in town and used the Z portal to travel to a party member's fort, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the specified player's fort.
  • If you were in a mapworks area that was generated from the fort and then died and chose to resurrect back in the world, it could have sent you to a random fort.

MONSTERS

• Fix for Ordrak's dead-but-lingering poison orbs.

• Fixed issue where Electric Widow boss and Electric Spider champions were invisible with shadows off.
• Fixed Netherim Brute and Netherim Spellbreaker type bosses that were failing to spawn. This also expands the variety of spawn types that these monsters can use, which will lead to them being able to spawn in more levels, potentially with some visible clipping for now, but the increase in variety is preferred.

• Fixed an issue where the player can distinguish a Mimic from a normal chest by using any spell on the chest.

• Monsters will now react to your hits more often. Smaller, squishier monsters will react more frequently than larger monsters, but large monsters are no longer nearly immune to the hit reaction system.
• Increased the damage on zombies. Slightly increased the pack sizes on zombies.
• Fixed an issue where Nyx (and presumably other Netherim Spellbreakers) could get stuck on terrain and stay permanently invulnerable while tethering to its spawn position if the player kited it too far away.
• Evasion can now appear on Armor! Currently, this is functionally the same as Block, but appears on Armor instead of Shields. In the future, this will not be the case, and these will be differentiated in function. Evasion can appear as both Primary and Secondary affixes, and is capped to 40%.
• Fixed an issue where Legendary Armor's Primary affix types were not rolling properly. They now have the same primary affix types as other armor rarities, as intended.

General

Flaming Destroyer

Coldheart

• Fixing broken scaling description.

Bane

CLASSES & SKILLS

General
