Version Changes

  • Local added Fire, Cold, Lightning, and Physical Damage Prefix modifiers on Weapons have been increased by roughly 8% at the highest tier and increased by more at lower tiers. The difference between tiers has been lowered, so that there's less of a jump between tiers as you progress towards the highest.
  • Essences of Anguish, Suffering, and Torment have been adjusted accordingly.
2.4.0
  • Introduced to the game.
