Feedback:Game updates/20260729

Update July 29, 2026

New miniature and unique items added as rare rewards to Underworld and Fissure of Woe end chests.

Fixed a bug that kept ghostly flatbows from dropping from the Tunnels of the Forsaken chest.
Fixed the icon for Miniature Ghost of Althea.

File:Splinter Weapon.jpg Splinter Weapon: Should only cast on party members.
File:Finale of Restoration.jpg Finale of Restoration: Now only casts out of combat while the caster is above 80% energy.
File:"They're on Fire!".jpg "They're on Fire!": Now only casts when the party is fully cleared of the buff. Additional priority if the party has echoes to support.
File:Anthem of Weariness.jpg Anthem of Weariness: Now only casts when the party is fully cleared of the buff. Additional priority if the party has echoes to support.
File:Energizing Finale.jpg Energizing Finale: Caster prioritizes self if energy is below 80% and they don't have the buff.
File:Strength of Honor.jpg Strength of Honor: Caster maintains this enchantment out of combat as long as they have 1 or more pips of energy regeneration. Should only cast on melee-wielding party members.
File:Aggressive Refrain.jpg Aggressive Refrain: Reduced casting energy requirement threshold from 90% to 80%.
File:Ballad of Restoration.jpg Ballad of Restoration: Removed the health threshold requirement to cast in combat. Casting priority increases as more party members benefit.
Wells: Heroes hold off on casting wells unless there are targets or allies within the affected range of a corpse or themselves (if casting without a corpse).

Fixed a bug introduced in the previous hotfix that caused a server crash across multiple maps.

Currently the new items are: Beautiful Menzies, Curse of Thul Za, Elegant Menzies , Ghozer's Key, Kazhad's Fortune, Little John, Madruk's Prophecy, Padraic, Raging Menzies and Sharp Pointy Stick.
File:Strength of Honor.jpg Strength of Honor: Only maintained if the caster has 2 or more pips of energy regeneration. When at 2 pips, they will cast additional copies, but stop maintaining one immediately after.
This update also changed cartography mechanics. Areas previously uncovered while standing on man-made objects like piers and bridges can no longer be uncovered at all. Some areas can now only be reached with Bird's Eye Compass or not mapped at all. The compass still allows mapping certain areas that couldn't be reached before its introduction, but these are much rarer, e.g. the harbor village in Jaya Bluffs. A few areas at the edge of a map can no longer be mapped at all. This would normally have resulted in cartography titles becoming noticeably harder to complete without Bird's Eye Compass, but the margin to reach 100% seems to have been increased (you can leave more tiles covered for 100% exploration than before the update).
Watching Sunjiang District cinematic crashes the game, so does moving before the actual start of Kodonur Crossroads cinematic.
Second hotfix build: 38,797.
