This patch includes improvements to item drops, including those from Map bosses and Rare monsters with 2-4 Archnemesis modifiers, reductions to the life of Harvest monsters, and a few bug fixes and improvements. Changes to the Lifeforce cost of Harvest crafts and improvements to rewards from league reflections in the Lake of Kalandra will be deployed tomorrow.
Item Drop Changes
Map Bosses now drop fewer items, but of substantially better rarity, resulting in more unique items being found from Map Bosses.
Globally increased the base drop rate of unique items by 33%.
Globally increased the base drop rate of currency items by 25%.
Archnemesis Changes
Increased the item rarity for monsters with two Archnemesis modifiers, and substantially increased the item rarity for monsters with three and four Archnemesis modifiers. With the item drop conversion system, this results in a lot more powerful drops when hitting certain combinations of modifiers. This also results in a lot more Unique items from monsters with three or four modifiers.
Harvest Changes
Reduced the life of Primal Blisterlord by 23%, Primal Crushclaw by 15%, and Vivid Devourer by 15%, in order to bring them more in line with other Harvest monsters.
Reduced the life of all other Harvest monsters, bringing the Harvest monster life more in line with monsters found in other league content.
These changes do not affect the Spectred versions of these monsters.
Improvements and Bug fixes
Kirac will no longer offer the "Slay the Beyond Boss" mission, due to irreconcilable difficulties encountered with the Beyond revamp.
Fixed an issue where strongboxes could sometimes drop no items. Strongboxes will now always drop at least one item.
Fixed an overflow issue from socketing exceptional support gems in the Vaal Caress Unique Gloves, causing them to behave as they were level 10 gems.
Fixed a bug where unlimited hideout decorations could sometimes not be placed.
Fixed a bug where Cartographer's Strongboxes in the Lake of Kalandra would mostly drop Tier 1 Maps.
Fixed a bug where monsters could sometimes get stuck in terrain in the Lake of Kalandra.
Fixed a bug where the Iridescent Weapon Effect did not propagate to your off-hand.
Fixed a client crash that could occur with the Bony Arachnomorph Pet microtransaction.
This patch has been deployed without restarting the servers, however you will need to restart your client to patch the client fixes.
As mentioned in our recent news post, we are looking to deploy improvements to the rewards from league reflections at the Lake, and reductions to the cost of many Harvest crafts in a patch tomorrow.
Below is a list of the upcoming Harvest changes:
The Harvest craft that fractures a random modifier on an item with at least 5 modifiers can now be used on an item with at least 4 modifiers.
Fixed an issue where the "Reforge a Rare item, being more/less likely to receive the same modifier" Harvest crafts had their descriptions backwards.
