PATCH Patch Notes for May 30, 2026: Mini-Expansion and Ossuary 4

[Luthius]

Ossuary 4

• Level 4 of Ossuary Dungeon is now available to players

Scarab Amulet

• Scarab Amulets will now appear as an ultra-rare loot drop exclusively within Level 4 of Ossuary Dungeon

Hieroglyphs

• Hieroglyphs will now appear once again, and will exclusively appear as rare loot drops within Level 4 of Ossuary Dungeon

Damage Resolution

• Any mechanic that creates secondary damage with amounts based on the total damage resolved on the primary effect, such as the damage of a Melee Hit generating Bleed ticks, will no longer apply Damage Bonuses or resolve Damage Reductions when resolving the secondary damage
• Under the old handling, a large number of bonuses or reductions were applying twice resulting in major imbalances

The following types of mechanics are affected:

• Swords Weapon Special (Bleed)
• Weapon Stances that resolve additional "attacks" based on initial hit damage (such as Cleave)
• Weapon Stances that create Bleed or Disease based on initial hit damage (such as Fencing Blackguard)
• Weapon Finishers that inflict damage based on initial hit damage (such as Fencing Assassinate)
• Weapon Abilities that inflict damage based on initial hit damage (such as Archery Repeater)
• Blood Aspect Armor (Bleed)
• Death Aspect Armor (Disease)
• Lightning Aspect Armor (Arc Shock effect)

Note: Any mechanic that boosts a specific damage type, such as increases to Bleed or Disease damage, will still apply on the initial calculation of their damage amount; they will just not apply their bonuses twice


Example (Old System)
A bard character using a sword has a Discordance effect on a creature (boosting damage by 25%)

The bard character lands a sword hit for 100 damage which then becomes 125 damage through Discordance

The sword hit also creates 125 damage worth of bleed ticks to resolve on the target

When resolving the bleed effects, the bleed ticks *again* are boosted by Discordance and are now resolved for 156 damage (when they were intended to be 125)


Example (New System)
A bard character using a sword has a Discordance effect on a creature (boosting damage by 25%)

The bard character lands a sword hit for 100 damage which then becomes 125 damage through Discordance

The sword hit also creates 125 damage worth of bleed ticks to resolve on the target

The bleed ticks will resolve for 125 damage


Creature Armor Minimums

Damage Reflection

Attack Ranges

• Players, Followers, or Player Ship Crewmembers using Melee Attacks that have a Range of 1 will now be treated as having Range 2 (or Range 3 in rare cases) when making attacks against most creatures that have body types that overlap multiple tiles or have unusual location offsets
• A large number of creatures (including player Followers) that occupy multiple tiles or have unusual location offsets will now have a Melee Range of 2 (or more)
• A number of Abilities for creatures that have had their Melee Range increased will also have their Ability range increased if that range is now smaller than their Melee Range

Target Arcs

• Some mechanics will refer to the player being within either a creature's Front Arc or their Side/Rear Arc
• A creature's Front Arc is anything within a 45 degree angle outward from the Facing of the creature (depicted by Green Tiles/Arrows)
• A creature's Side/Rear Arc is any tile not within in the creature's Front Arc (depicted by Yellow Tiles)

• All Moving Field spells have a casting time of 1.5 seconds
• Moving Fields have a distance of 7 + (1 per every 4 Tier Levels)
• Damage caused by Moving Fields will be treated as Spell Damage and bonuses that applies to Spells for the player will apply to Moving Fields
• Any mechanics that trigger when casting a spell, such as Mana Refund or Aspect Specials, will trigger for Moving Fields but only upon hitting the first creature in the Moving Field path

Fire Field Spell

• Base Spell Damage of 30-35

Poison Field Spell

• Base Spell Damage of 25-30
• Damage to each creature is reduced by (5% * Total Creatures Hit Prior)

Agorawave Aspect Weapon/Spellbook

Aspect Special Effect: Flameweaver
Inflicts (1250 + (125 * Tier Level)) damage divided among creatures within 8 tiles. Total damage is increased by 10% per total targets hit

Temporal Aspect

• Temporal Aspect is a new aspect available to players focused around using a Chronometer to generate a Temporal Field, which will grant the player bonuses to damage as well as defensive measures while inside the field's radius

Temporal Aspect Armor

Temporal Chronometer

• When a player activates Temporal Aspect Armor, they will receive a Temporal Chronometer in their backpack
• This item is Blessed, but will be deleted if dropped or moved off the player (similar to Atlas Books)

Temporal Field

• If a player double-clicks their Temporal Chronometer, or uses the [Temporal or [TemporalField commands, they will create a Temporal Field at their location
• While within 8 tiles of this field, the player will receive a Damage Bonus, Damage Resistance, and a Damage Delay effect
• The Temporal Field will last 10 seconds and the player cannot create another one until it expires

Temporal Armor Bonuses

Damage Bonus (staggered increase over 3 sec)

• While the player is within 8 tiles of a Temporal Field they have created, they will receive a Damage bonus to all damage they inflict of (9% + (3% * Tier Level))
• However, this bonus amount begins at 0% of normal when the Temporal Field is created, and scales up by 33% of normal for each second until becoming 100% of normal after 3 seconds and until the end of the Temporal Field

Damage Resistance and Damage Delay

• While the player is within 8 tiles of a Temporal Field they have created, they will receive a Damage Resistance bonus and a Damage Delay effect of (4% + (1.3% * Tier Level))
• The Damage Delay effect will reduce a player's final damage taken (after resolving reductions) by the effect amount (rounded down) and then resolve that reduction amount as damage to the player 3 seconds later

Example
A player with Tier 15 Temporal Aspect Armor is hit by an attack that would normally inflict 30 damage to them (after resolving all damage reductions)

At Tier 15, the player has a Damage Delay effect of 23.5%

Of that 30 damage intended for the player, (30 * 0.235) = 7 of it will be delayed by 3 seconds

So the attack will inflict 23 health loss immediately, and then 7 health loss after 3 seconds


Chance to Avoid Movement Effects

• While the player is within 8 tiles of a Temporal Field they have created they will have a (15% * (4.0% * Tier Level)) chance to ignore any effect that Paralyzes, Hinders, or Entangles the player
