New Bosses

A new threat has emerged from the depths of the rift. We are introducing three formidable adversaries, each embodying a master of their respective combat style:
the Primal Warrior,

the Divine Mage,

the Nemesis Ranger.

These encounters are designed to challenge the coordination and precision of even our most seasoned veterans. Defeating these champions offers a chance to secure three entirely new tiers of specialized armor, custom-tailored to the strength of their origin boss. To support this expansion, we have implemented a new series of specialized Clue Scrolls and Caskets,

Twisted Ironman

Attention adventurers! Alongside this update, we are incredibly excited to introduce a brand-new alternative game mode designed to completely shake up the progression meta: Twisted Ironman.

This mode introduces a unique loot-randomization dynamic that drives friendly competition, insane theory-crafting, and a completely fresh way to play. To start your journey, simply create an alt or, as a new player, scroll down on the game mode selection UI and choose Twisted Ironman!

🛡️ The Twist: Core Mechanics

Twisted Ironman follows the exact permanent restrictions as a standard Ironman account (no trading, and no de-ironing). However, it introduces a dynamic, tier-weighted RNG layer to boss unique drops. When you successfully roll and land an item listed on the boss weapon and armor tables, the actual item you receive is randomized based on its tier:

• 75% Chance: To receive a random item from the Same Tier.
• 20% Chance: To receive a random item from 1 Tier Lower.
• 5% Chance: To receive a random item from 1 Tier Higher! 🚀

Example: Imagine grinding Vengeance Demon, hitting the unique drop table, and high-rolling a 5% chance to snipe an Aubury Mace!

⚙️ System Safeguards

We want this mode to be fun and rewarding, so we’ve built in strict safeguards to respect your time and effort:

• The Hard Floor: The system is locked to a minimum of Tier 2.
• Dynamic Ceiling: The tier calculation is entirely automated. As we introduce future endgame content and higher tiers, the Twisted algorithm will dynamically adapt to include them.
• Vanilla Drop Rates: Base drop rates to land on the unique tables remain completely unchanged. The modification only handles which item you get after a drop is secured.

📦 Economy, Boxes, & Balance

To preserve early-game progression and maintain server health, Mystery Boxes, Loot Chests, and Caskets are entirely untouched by the Twisted algorithm. Because you'll be chasing specific tier upgrades via gameplay, standard progression boxes and chests will serve as a massive, stable luxury driver. If you want to accelerate your progress or secure guaranteed, un-randomized items, the Donator Shop will be your best friend to bypass the Twisted RNG!

🏆 Leaderboard & Rewards

To celebrate the launch, we are introducing a dedicated "Top 10 Twisted Max Hit" Leaderboard permanently displayed at Home!

ALSO, to promote the new game mode, ALL players can use ::ref twisted to obtain a new Twisted Dragon companion that, when equipped to the main companion slot, provides stats equal to tectonic gear!

Bugs and Quality of Life

A comprehensive series of refinements has been implemented to enhance server stability, balance, and user experience. Below are the finalized technical improvements for this update:

• Donator Zones: Now reset globally upon server restart instead of adhering to a 24-hour individual timer.
• Abyssal Boxes: Added "Open 10k" functionality for efficient mass-opening.
• Statue of Dawnguard: Bonus timers have been resolved and will now accurately countdown following server restarts.
• Game Mode UI: Statistics now display directly in the chat box when selecting a new game mode.
• Shop Balances: Trivia Shop SP restored to 200 points; AFK and Vault shops have been updated to reflect correct season passes.
• Prestige System: Charging, Enchanting, and Raid skills will no longer reset to level 1 after prestiging.
• Boss Tuning: Respawn timers for late-game bosses have been normalized to match the broader encounter schedule.
• Well of Goodwill (::wog): Cost adjusted to 25M to reflect its current boost efficiency compared to the Statue of Dawnguard.
• Superior Hordes: Now yield Horde Sack drops as intended.
• Collection Log: Renamed "Draconic Warshooter" to "Draconic Longshot" for consistency.
• Pet Balancing: Angelic Spirit pet and Mythical Being pet boost corrected to match the correct combat styles.
• Slayer: Improved warning feedback for instances where no Slayer tasks are currently available.
• UI/Tooltips: Added hover-over tooltips for the Prayer Orb to improve clarity.
• Account Progression: Fixed an edge case allowing players who previously completed ::progress on a main account to successfully complete it on an Ironman account as well.
• Umbral Chests: Umbral Crystals have been added to the loot table.
• Combat Balancing: Master Hitter has been rebalanced to sit above Turmoil to better respect the time required to acquire it.
• Perks: Removed all disabled/inactive perks from the perk selection list.
• Achievements: Abyssal update caskets added to the achievement system with retroactive credit applied.
• Tier 9 Gear: Damage tuning finalized for proper combat scaling.
• Fusion Donator Spawns: Resolved visibility issues; all spawns are now correctly rendered.
• Endgame Portal: Now accessible with endgame gear; the entry requirements will scale dynamically as new content tiers are introduced.
• Eternal Raid: Resolved an issue preventing the bypass of the daily raid limit.
• Slayer Points Resolved an issue with the roll 5/10/all
• Infinitas ScrollAdded a dissolve for all the extra Infinitas Scroll you obtain to dissolve for 1k Prayer Orbs

Runners

We listened to the complaints about prestiging being hard to get and didnt really flow too well when progressing through the game so we added an interesting mechanic to help alleviate this issue.

3 new npcs will have a chance to spawn once a global horde boss is defeated but be aware... they are only only up for a limited time before despawning

Horde Runner - This npc will shoot out horde tickets from its position for you to collect while killing it, Loot Table remains intact of only horde tickets after death

Lamp Runner - This npc will shoot out XP lamps from its position for you to collect while killing it, Loot Table remains intact of only XP lamps after death

Skill Runner - This npc will shoot out Skilling tickets from its position for you to collect while killing it, Loot Table remains intact of only skilling tickets after death

These npcs have lower health pools to accommodate the despawn timer on them and if solo players are doing it at slow times so be quick to get to globals when they spawn or you may miss out!
