• UI Updates:
  • Fixed a few typos in some quests' objective lists.

• Other Updates:
  • Added a new system for item drops. This system has separate drop rates for each item type (for example, Swords will drop less often than Construction Additions), but also for items within each item type (for example, Hammers of Kaveh will drop less often than Tools of Weyland). We are going to closely monitor this change and will make adjustments as we go forward. This system will also be explained better in an upcoming developer update blog.
  • "Beorix's Finest Gauntlets" crafting recipe now crafts items with new stats. (Old: Cost: -10.9% - New: Cost: -17.6% (Baseline)). This does not affect already-crafted items, and will only affect items crafted using this recipe from this point onwards.
