Engine Version 14.2.36

Hey there, Heroes!

Some Monday changes to stats! Yay!

Engine Version 14.2.36

Adjusted:

DEX now reduces glancing blow damage by (DEX/10)%, additive.
- DEX no longer increases Bonus to Hit.
DEX now increases DoT damage by DEX/5 damage, instead of a multiplicative percentage.
- The goal of this change is to make it more useful for most DoTs, while not as overwhelming for super high damage DoTs. If you train DEX, and your class has any DoT at all, this should make those skills worth using. Damage is subject to change, as classes and builds that can apply a lot of DoTs at once get extremely buffed by this.
INT now increases Bonus to Hit by INT/10.
- INT no longer reduces glancing blow damage.
- This change is intended to lower the ubiquity of INT being entirely non-situational.
LUK now increases crit by LUK/10, previously LUK/20.
- Buffing up LUK's utility a bit by giving it more crit rate.
- An example- if you have 200 LUK, you will now gain an additional 20 crit. that is, 10% crit chance.

Remember, stat retraining only costs a total of 1001 gold until this Friday!

14.2.37 UPDATE:

Dex was a biiit overtuned.
- Dex DoT damage bonus halved to DEX/10. Still a substantial damage bonus and worth using, but not totally insane.
- Glancing blow damage reduction halved. 250 DEX results in a 12.5% glancing blow.

The Crossroads north of Falconreach have now opened in Book 3! Head east out of Falconreach, and then head directly north to explore the area and see how it's changed. The path used to lead to Dragesvard, Lymcrest, and Willowshire... But how have things changed over the years?

Return to Stoneheart Fall!

Can you feel it?

That chill in the air?

It’s a bitterly cold wind, curling down the mountain. Something stirs up there. Something ancient. Surely you can feel that gaze turned on you. The weight of the centuries is held within that gaze.

This week, a return to Stoneheart Fall, where you will continue your journey at the top of the world in a harsh and inhospitable environment.
