Delve Improvements

  • Voltaxic Sulphite deposits now only grant Sulphite proportional to the number of nearby players when they are first discovered. This brings it in line with how other reward systems work.

  • Lucent and Shuddering Fossils now have special modifiers that can be rolled on shields.
  • Poison mods are now considered Chaos mods for the purposes of Fossil crafting.
  • Bleeding mods are now considered Physical mods for the purposes of Fossil crafting.

  • Increased the life of Rogue Exiles in Delve Encounters.
  • Increased the damage of the totem beams in the Kurgal, the Blackblooded encounter.
  • Adjusted the hitboxes of the beam attack used by Kurgal, the Blackblooded to be more accurate.
  • Additional Projectile modifiers no longer increase the number of projectiles in the Beast Burrow encounter.
  • Sutured Aberrations can no longer be desecrated.
  • Fixed a bug where Solar Guard Spectres could prevent the Beast Burrow encounter in the Fungal Caverns from completing.
  • Fixed a bug where some Bestiary encounters would not spawn chests.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Complete Maps with Eight Mods" challenge was giving credit when using White and Yellow Maps, rather than only Red Maps.
  • Fixed a bug where players sometimes received a challenge reward more than once.
