IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of this patch, it is highly likely all Adventurers will need to be issued a respec.
5 NEW CLASSES!
- Shaman, A STR/WIS based class capable of strong STR based melee attacks and WIS based Spellpower nukes, heals, and buffing/debuffing HP Regen.
- Warlock, An INT based class capable of strong damage over time spells, nukes, buffing/debuffing Life on Hit, and reducing the heal effect on targets.
- Enchanter, An INT based class capable of nukes, crowd control, buffing/debuffing Energy Regen, and decreasing energy costs for allies.

- Arbalester, A DEX/INT based class capable of ranged physical damage, nukes, armor penetration, buffing/debuffing Energy on Hit, and increasing damage done vs foes.
Gameplay
- All Classes received a once over to remove many pointless buffs and debuffs. Every class had at least 1-3 skills changed in this newest pass.
- All Classes' damage tables have been adjusted. Non DPS classes should hit for far less than they used to.
- Adventurer Classes no longer have modifiers that grant different Weapon Damage and Spellpower per point of investment in their respective attribute.
- All skills are now updated with %'s that are "what you see is what you get" to better help players understand the effective power of the skill.
- Skill investment costs changed from 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3 to 1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2 which allows for maxing 3 skills and picking up a 4th at 5 points.
- Crit damage bonus rolls on items dropped from 5-10% to 3-5%.
- Crit damage bonus in university dropped from 25% at 5/5 to 15% at 5/5 for 1h weapons and 20% for 2h weapons that can train it.
- Some skills for hybrid classes that use INT or WIS have had some skills changed to Spellpower.
- Auto adventure XP was lowered by 50%.
- Auto adventures no longer grant Ruler XP.
- The formula for calculating armor has changed slightly as was not in line with the goal. It should now require a plate helm, chest, and shield to reach max mitigation without any bonuses from University courses and/or Passives.
- Reflect Damage Mutator base amount decreased by 25%.
- Added the ability to cancel and refund the currently training University course.
- Projectile spells can now be dodged.
- Energy is now fully restored at the end of each encounter.
- Chance for ambushes while Resting has been increased.
- Poison and Chaos damage types were added to the game. Chaos is a magical based type that bypasses all Magic Resist...beware.
UI
- Beards should now appear above armor on the character detail screen.
- Adventure entry screen has had a party window added to more easily see who is in the current party and their status.
- A grey ! icon is now used instead of yellow to indicate available repeatable quests so that it is easier to locate story quests.

Art

- Lots of University icons added to the game.
- Fixed a small scaling problem with beards.
- Pharaoh's sword now correctly has a graphic.
Bugs
- Party bonuses with +Damage Bonus have been fixed.
- Fixed a bug causing unique shields to roll 1% block chance and amount.
- Invasion bosses now spawn at an appropriate level to the entering set of Adventurers.
- Fixed a bug causing the last killed Invasion boss to show as the objective when entering a new invasion.
- You can no longer rest to pop an encounter, flee, and then return to the previous room to have it count as an uncleared room. This fixes an exploit/bug with boss, miniboss, and choice encounters.
