・Increased enemy spawns and revamped Breach Splinter drops during Breach, meaning that all Splinters that dropped will be placed in front of the player after the Breach concludes. ・Gave Rogue Exiles better highlighting, lessened their aggro range, and gave them map icons for improved visibility. ・Improved the AI of Azmerian Wisps when an additional one is spawned. Increased the odds of finding the Spring Hare and Fox Spirits. |

Stash Tabs

Item Changes

・Added support to bulk move stacks of currency from one inventory to another. On Keyboard and Mouse highlight the currency and use "CTRL + Right Click", on Gamepad Press and hold Triangle, or Y. ・Added optional key bindings for quick allocating multi-choice attribute passive skills on Keyboard and Mouse. Once bound you can quick-allocate Attributes by holding down your selected bind when clicking on the passive skill. Gamepad support for this feature will come at a later date. ・Added "UnidentifiedItemTier" as a filter option for Item Filters. ・Added quick-use Currency buttons to Strongboxes and monsters imprisoned in Essences. These buttons will only be visible if you have the currency items in your inventory. ・Added an outline to the labels on Expedition Chests, Precursor Tablets, and Expedition Logbooks. ・Significantly buffed the drop rates of Greater and Perfect Jeweller's Orbs. ・Reduced the required level for Level 20 Uncut Skill and Spirit gems to begin dropping. This was the primary reason why they were so infrequently dropping, so you should now see a lot more of them when running the highest tiers of Endgame Maps. ・Added Spectre and Tame Beast skills as outcomes to the Prism of Belief Unique Jewel. ・Added 132 more foiled Unique Item options that the Twilight Reliquary can yield. |
Breach Changes
|

The rate at which time extends in the encounter now takes into account the Monster Power of slain Breach Demons. This means if you kill Magic or Rare enemies during the Breach it will extend the time more than killing Normal monsters. ・Breach Splinters that drop during an encounter are now automatically collected and dropped at your location when the Breach concludes. If you're in a party it will drop multiple stacks that are randomly allocated. You can see a small notification above your character whenever a Breach Splinter is collected, similar to Gold. |
Azmeri Spirit Changes
|
・Azmeri Spirits of the Spring Hare and Fox are now approximately three times more common. ・Engaging a second Azmerian Wisp while already following one will have the second Azmerian Wisp follow the same target as the first. |
