Buffed Temple Room Modifications

Due to player feedback, Fate of the Vaal rewards will be improved to better scale into the endgame. These changes include buffing the mods that temple rooms add to the Temple.

・We are approximately doubling the values on existing modifiers applied to the temple at all room tiers.
・The Spymaster, Golem Works and Thaumaturge rooms apply bonuses to other specific room types in the temple.
・The Corruption Chamber room at Tier III now also adds a Corrupted Abomination to the Temple.
・The Spymaster room at Tier III now also adds an Unchained Beast to Temple.
・The Golem Works room at Tier III now also adds a Royal Sentinel to the Temple.
・The Generator room at Tier III now also adds a Royal Colossus to the Temple.
・The Sacrificial Chamber room at Tier III now also adds a High Priest to the Temple.
・The Thaumaturge room at Tier III now also adds a Quadrilla Sergeant to the Temple.
・The Alchemy Lab room at Tier III now also increases Gold Found.
・The Treasure Vault room now also adds 25% Rarity of Items dropped to the Temple.

The Architect Improvements

Changes will be applied to The Architect to make it more worth it to complete. Better rewards and less progress lost will be implemented.

・Halving the number of rooms that are removed when defeating the Architect.
・Allowing Reward rooms placed from the Architect’s Console to connect to any other adjacent room, not just paths, making them easier to claim.
・Allowing the Architect to connect to any other adjacent room
・The Tablet Research Vault room crafting outcomes can no longer destroy Tablets.
・The Uniques Vault room now excludes more common uniques as the level of the Temple increases.
・The Extraction Chamber is now significantly rarer, and you cannot get offered more than one of these at the Console Table.

Added Medallions

New Medallions will be added to better aid getting rewards and specific rooms you need for upgraading.

・Added a Medallion which will add random Waystone Modifiers to your temple that last for 10 Temple runs, allowing you to make it more difficult and rewarding. Be careful though, you can get some dangerous modifiers!
・Added a Medallion that allows you to reroll rooms waiting to be placed.

Additional Campaign Rewards

More sources of currency and loot will be added as you progress through the campaign.

・After Act 3, Exalt, Vaal and Alchemy crafting benches will allow you to take their currency.
・After completing non-boss Fate of the Vaal encounters, a Chest will now rise out of the center and drop some items. In the campaign, this will be a magic chest but in Endgame it can be Magic or Rare.
