Community Preview | 8/3/16 | Gauntlet 7 Event, New Recipes, Bath Furniture & more!

[Justg]

Lots happening this week, let's get to it!

Gauntlet 7

This is a Leaderboard Event that will run for 1 week. The regular Hauntlet has been transformed into The Gauntlet, and with it comes some bad bosses: Overgrowth, Stahl, and Krunch.

Runs award Hauntlet Coins. Leaderboards will reward some combination of:

- Courage's Egg (currently the only place in the game to get this)
- Up to 100 Ankhs
- Up to 15 Respecs
- Gauntlet 7 Banner

No word if Lower Hauntlet has been transformed. Check regular leaderboards for progress, and good luck!

Estate Token Consumption

We'll be removing Estate Tokens from the game in a couple of weeks. Until then, you can exchange them at a new vendor in Windmoore for:

- New Exclusive Furniture (for 2 weeks) be the first to have Stained Glass Windows and Jarl's Golden Doors!
- Existing Platinum Furniture (20 different pieces)
- Gold (10,000 gold per Estate Token)

If you have Estate Tokens, please visit this vendor and exchange them. We'll be purging any and all forms of this currency from the Consignment Shop, Stash, Inventory, and Satchel of every player in the game so this is the only window to spend them.

Housing

A new furniture category will be added: Bath. In it you will find three new items with new animation sets:

- Sink (keep tidy between runs)
- Bathtub (2 person soaks)
- Toilet (hey, you asked for it)

We also have added two couches, Lodge and Cottage themed. These seat 2 people as well.

Jewel Shattering Recipes

These will be a permanent addition to all Cryostar crates (small, medium, and large).There are four separate ones: Water, Nature, Lightning, and Diamond. Using a Noble version of the source jewel will shatter into 1 Fortified version of every other Jewel (1 of each type fort 7 total).

Arcane Vanity Recipe

An NPC in Kraag will sell (for gold) a new type of recipe, which takes any existing Arcane Weapon and an Arcane Shard and produces a tradable vanity version of the source Arcane weapon.

Pet Rotation

This week, Massive Cryo Chests can contain:

- The Brothers Whim
- Hammerjaw
- Munch Mouth

Bug Fixes/ Tweaks:

- Korruption's Toxic Spores AA now prevents healing while the enemy stands in the affected area. Heals will continue for the duration of the Heal over Time after leaving the area if applicable.
- Warriors Juggernaut 'Second Wind' Skill Upgrade is no longer disabled while standing in Korruption's Toxic Spores.
- Numerous heal over time effects tied to pet buffs have been reworked to provide a more tangible healing benefit, and be properly affected by Korruption's AA. Pets affected: Fantasma (Unicorn), Snappy (turtle), Breezaga (Elemental), Meep-Moop (Dodo), Bismark (Turtle).
- Some bosses and minions have had their self heal over time abilities adjusted to adhere to the same Korruption Toxic Spores rules as players in PvP. Affected Bosses: Gore-Blin (Goblin Event), Inan'hesh (Shuyal), The Overgrowth (Shuyal), Tribal Shamans (Tindirin), Helena, Lady of the Forest (Ursoth), Arachna (Tindirin).

That is the plan for this week, please let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Cheers!
