Full Patch Notes
Balance
- Reworked the timings and cooldown of using Bandages.
- Bandages no longer have a hidden cooldown between uses.
- The received health from bandages has been rebalanced with their new timings in mind, now that you can use them much more frequently.
- Added new types of bandages as loot in the world which heal slightly more.
- Being interrupted while using a bandage (hit for 10 damage or more) now reduces the health received from the bandage by -10% per hit, down from -35% previously.
- Increased Ether Wayshrine travel speed from 2200 to 3000.
- Gathering nodes (such as Mining and Woodcutting) no longer give diminishing returns when approaching the end of the node, Instead you now get full yield until it’s completely empty.
- The game windows icon will now flash when a resource you are gathering gets depleted.
- Increased stamina regeneration bonus to +5% at Endurance level 100.
- Increased the distance that you can open pet bags from by 3m
- Adjusted balance of many extracted material experience requirements to be lower as a followup change to the adjustments made in patch 3.1.0.
- Adjusted the experience per hour of many books to be higher and more in line with the new material lore experience maximums, so that certain books no longer take months to read for relatively basic materials.
Relics & Dynamic Events
- Significantly increased Relics and Dynamic Events on Wednesdays and Sundays. Relics and Dynamic Events can now spawn throughout the entire day on those days much more frequently.
Combat Abilities & Adrenaline
- Lowered the amount of Adrenaline gained from receiving damage from 1 per damage received to 0.5 per damage received.
- Increased the amount of adrenaline gained from 8 per parry to 10 per parry.
- Reduced Retreat Adrenaline cost from 4 to 3.
- Reduced Steady Hands Adrenaline cost from 3 to 2.
Clade & Mastery Gifts
- Changed human clade gift ‘Southerner’ into ‘Persistence Hunter’ which provides a 10% fire damage resistance, and 10% reduced stamina spent while sprinting.
- Human clade gift ‘Mathematician’ has been changed into ‘Resourceful’, which adds +10% chance to gain additional yield when gathering.
- Changed the Thursar Clade Gift “Adrenaline” to be a passive effect which allows you to swing weapons within your Strength Requirement even when completely out of Stamina.
- Thursar Clade Gift “Thermoregulation” has been renamed to “Bloodlust”
- Bloodlust provides a melee damage bonus starting at 50% health, which increases as you approach death up to a maximum of +15%.
- Thursar Clade Gift “Risar Known” has been renamed to “Frenzied Charge”.
- Frenzied Charge increases your run speed by +8% at the cost of being forced so sprint for 6 seconds. During this time sprinting drains no stamina and your turn speed is lowered.
- Changed the Thursar mastery gifts related to the clade gift ‘Adrenaline’ which no longer exists.
- Those mastery gifts now affect Frenzied Charge movement speed and cooldown speed.
- Oghmir Clade Gift “Siegemaster” has been renamed to “Vital Surge” and is now an Active Clade Gift which allows you to instantly recover from mercy mode once, with a lengthy cooldown.
- Oghmir Clade Gift “Engineer” has been renamed to “Defiance” and now works by increasing physical defence by a value based on how much Adrenaline the Oghmir currently has stored.
- Each gained dot of adrenaline above 1 (because 1 is passively generated) grants +1% defence for a max of +9% at 10 Adrenaline.
Combat
- Reworked the way Parrying works
- Blocking no longer costs 10 stamina to initiate, instead it constantly drains stamina while held.
- You no longer need to reset your parry input every 2 seconds to parry an attack.
- Clicking to attack will now charge to almost 50% before immediately releasing automatically instead of releasing an attack which deals zero damage.
- Adjusted global weapon charge speeds to be slightly shorter
- Adjusted global weapon release speeds to be slightly longer
- Adjusted the curve affecting charge gained to time holding the button to be linear, instead of time held at the start of a charge counting for less than at the end.
- Reduced the amount of experience required to reach level 100 in the following skills, due to the new fastest possible attack being a different speed to before for training purposes:
- Aggressive Stance
- Defensive Stance
- Melee weapon skills
- Updated the “Aim Punch” behavior when getting hit while drawing a bow to be more aggressive.
- Reduced maximum Mounted Archery damage to 90% of what is possible while on foot with the same bow.
AI

- Increased the collision distance on players slightly to help with issues of other players limbs clipping into your screen as well as making handle hits slightly less common.
- The mounted player is now part of the pet movement collision when riding mounts. This means that it is no longer possible to ride through low hanging obstacles like doorways if only the mount can fit under the obstacle.
