After releasing our preview we received feedback that our relic update needed some reworking. We also wanted to let you know that our crafting UI changes will not go live on Wednesday as planned - there was a delay in completing them and we want to have a little extra time to test them before they go live.
Revised Relics
- Your first relic consumed will provide a major stat increase
- Reaching level 2 requires that you consume 5 more relics (provides the pre-patch equivalent of consuming one relic)
- Higher levels will require additional relics but the benefit of this update is that now you can keep consuming relics to get higher stats instead of the previous low cap
- By consuming a total of 40 relics, you will reach the equivalent of double the pre-patch stats cap from relics
- You can continue to gain greater power by leveling up your relic level to 99
Week 10 Hotfix 1
- Fixed a bug where the benefit of Relics consumed before the last patch were not stacking properly with newly consumed Relics.
- Fixed a bug where the benefits of Celerity Response, Defensive Response, Evasive Escape, Rapid Escape and Restorative Response could stack.
- Fixed a bug where equipment that had level requirements would sometimes be unequipped when logging out and back in again.
- Fixed a bug where Light and Medium Heirloom armor could receive an affix on creation.
- Fixed a bug where loot drops were appearing a long ways away from the source of the drop.
- Fixed a bug where 0s was sorting to the top of the Well Time Leaderboard.
And as a final note, we are currently working through a bug with crafting recipes that cost Bloodstone. To get around that you can now buy a "Bloodstone Cluster" from either the crafting vendor or the Treasure Hunter if you want to craft an Offering. This is a temporary fix, and once the real fix is done those clusters will be removed from the game. (Please don't horde them. They won't be worth anything in a few days.)
