Many exciting new features have been enabled in patch 1.2.0! Ethereal items, indestructible items, runes, and socketed items will now appear in the game! Although runes start dropping in this patch, note that you cannot actually add them to an item until the official season 2 patch. This will give us time to monitor drop rates and to assure that all of the mechanics are working as intended.
See the official 1.2.0 patch notes below:
671: Release Version 1.2.0
September 24, 2024 1:00 AM EST
• King's reward now gives you free rune.
• Treasure chests now have a chance to drop a rune.
• All mobs now have a chance to drop a rune.
• Socketed items can now drop. Runes may be added to socketed items.
• Some unique and set items now come with sockets.
• Some items are now indestructible which makes them immune to ethereal decay.
• A new ethereal property may now appear on certain items. They are very powerful, but they have limited durability and will break after too much use in combat.
• There is a new option to toggle global General chat on and off.
• The /say channel had its alias changed from /1 to /0
• The /1 channel is now a global general chat channel instead of an alias for the /say channel
• "Town" channels have been phased out in favor of "custom" channels. Your default channel is now your hero's name or the last channel that you joined. A large town presence is no longer necessary since the mission counter makes forming parties in town obsolete. Players can still /join the same channel if they prefer to use a custom channel.
• Active level difference is now off by default when creating new missions.
• Improved the Chinese translation again.
• Removed the percentage unit from the character ID value.
• Fixed a bug related to resolving failed trade transactions.
• Resolved an issue with some networks connecting to certain ports. Probably.
