10/3/18 | Preview | 2x Nightmare Drops & Upcoming Crafting Improvements

[Justg]

Hey folks, this is the spookiest time of the year!

We're working on Halloween right now, here's what we have for you this week:

Bonus Nightmare Loot (2X Event)

To get us into the Halloween spirit, all all Nightmare Raid zone (where you face Ashera and the Dragon) drops this week are double!

Note: This event ends next WEDNESDAY (instead of Thursday) to give us a day to roll out the following:

Upcoming Crafting Quality-of-Life Preview

Tired of scrolling through seemingly endless lists to find recipes or not finding ingredients? We are too! Coming up we've made the following improvements to the crafting system:

We've added a crafted item preview and we now show stat changes for that item on your character. You should also be able to preview pets and furnishings.



"Show Craftable Only" will filter the list to only the craftable items for which you have the ingredients.

Can't find the ingredient you're looking for in a recipe? We've added a Consignment Shop button to the ingredients list that will search the Consignment Shop for you.



We've also added a whole new way of filtering:



The crafting menu now has sortable filters.



You can select specific types of recipes (like events).



Each primary category has a secondary sortable list (to get specific event recipes, for example).



Jewels also have a secondary sort category.



As does Arcane equipment.

We're looking forward to your feedback on this system as we get it into place. The intent is to make it as easy as possible to find and craft recipes, let us know how it is working for you!

Expect these changes to go out with the next update (today).

That's it for this week, what are you most excited about coming up?

Have a great week!
