Highlights

Tales of Old: The Dread Vault

  • Many missing effects now display more consistently, including:
    • The warning effects under the purple sparks for Yshiggol's Mind Burst.
    • The buff effects around enemies' heads when too close to Yshiggol.
    • Various warning effects under other enemy powers.
  • There are now significantly fewer adds that spawn in the Yshiggol boss fight. Notably, Thoon Hulks and Illithid Scourges no longer spawn.
  • The maximum item level for this event is now 20,000, increased from 16,000. Item levels above this value are scaled down to the maximum.

  • New level 71-80 recipes and gathering tasks have been added.

 

New PvP Campaign

  • A new version of the PvP campaign is now live. This campaign tracks overall kills, captures, and wins, and no longer requires quite as many more complex actions to progress.
    • The PvP boons have been adjusted to fit the updated system.
    • Players who completed all 30 tasks will receive an achievement, and in a future build, will receive a title for their participation.
  • Players who completed tasks in the previous version of the campaign will receive a box with rewards proportional to the number of tasks they had completed.

 

Known Issues

PvP Campaign

Tales of Old: The Dread Vault

  • The Flayed Storyteller's Journal artifact cannot be equipped if the Frozen Storyteller's Journal artifact is equipped. This will be addressed in a later build.
