Changes
|
| 3.19.0d |
- 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.
- These changes do not affect the Spectred versions of these monsters.
|
| 3.19.0c |
- Increased the Lifeforce yield in Harvest encounters in lower Map tiers.
|
| 3.19.0 |
- Rather than being presented with a selection of crafting options that must be used immediately, you now receive itemised, tradeable lifeforce of the appropriate colour. This lifeforce can be used later, in your own time, at the horticrafting bench in your hideout. Its crafting options are now priced in terms of this itemised lifeforce currency.
- We have rebalanced all Harvest crafts for the new system and have removed a bunch of filler crafts and some ones with deterministic outcomes that were incredibly RNG-gated before. Some crafts that provided access to exclusive content, like the special Offerings to the Goddess, have been removed because these items can now be found in more appropriate locations elsewhere in the game.
- Lures can no longer be obtained.
- Infused BeachheadMap Level: 83
Map Tier: 16100% more Monster Life
100% increased Monster Damage
Unique Boss drops an additional Harbinger Scroll
Area contains 20 additional HarbingersCorrupted
Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once. Unique Maps now have a chance to drop from the Tier 15 The Beachhead Unique Map Boss encounter.
|
| 3.16.0 |
- Perandus league and related content has been removed.
|
| 3.14.0 |
- Crafts are no longer guaranteed from seeds. Now, seeds of Tiers 1, 2 and 3 each have a chance to provide a craft, with Tier 4 seeds still guaranteeing a craft. Please note that the number of Tier 2 and 3 seeds encountered in Harvest Plots has remained unchanged, so the encounters will remain as challenging as they were before.
- Sources of
 Perandus CoinsStack Size: 5000Trade coins to Cadiro Perandus. have had their coin counts normalised.
- Above change also affects Primal Crushclaw's crafting recipe [Undocumented]
- The base life of all Harvest monsters has been reduced by 30-50%, however Harvest machinery now grants monsters around 100% extra increased life on average. The intention here is to keep the Life values of Monsters spawned in Harvest encounters approximately the same as they were before, but significantly lower the life values on the Desecrated versions of these Monsters to bring them into line with other Desecratable Monsters. Please note that Primal Blisterlords and Primal Crushclaws have had their life reduced by a greater percentage as a result of this change.
