The massive monogram rebalancing reflects our commitment to making every build path viable and exciting. We've dramatically increased player power across the board while introducing new scaling mechanics around essence management and secondary abilities. The Underrealm expansion to rupture 500 provides significantly more progression content, while the offhand system overhaul ensures that these crucial build components feel impactful and rewarding to optimize. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, August 11th Patch Notes Balance 'Killing a campaign boss grants 100 Maximum Health' (New feature) 'Stance tree Maximum Health bonuses reduced to 50' (Previously: 100) -----------------------------------------------------------------Tuesday, August 12th Patch Notes General Added translations for newly added text strings Visual & Performance Updates Spark: Complete visual and performance rework implemented Dragon Flames: Complete visual and performance rework implemented Burning Shield: Complete visual and performance rework implemented Balance Lightning Plasma: Lightning Plasma now grows 20% longer in range, attacks 13.33% faster, and hits 2 additional times.

Season 4 launches on May 25th! The gates will open at 1PM EST Rise with the Dwarves, command the dead — jump in, forge your legend. The Realms await you champion! Stone and Darkness unite! In Season 4: Rise of the Necromancer, warriors old and new must rise to meet the challenge. This season, the Realms crack open wider than ever before. Step through the Time Tear and back into an era lost to ruin—where ancient powers still walk the land, and the Dwarves have yet to fall. New Races With the introduction of two new playable races, the mighty Dwarves and the vengeful Graveborn, players now choose from four distinct ancestries, each offering unique bonuses to weapon types and elemental affinities. Build your legend with the might of forged steel or the fury of the grave. New Necromancer Stance At the heart of the new season is the debut of the Necromancer class, a master of death who commands a legion of minions. Unlike traditional brawlers or spellcasters, the Necromancer reshapes the battlefield through his undead army—empowering skeletal warriors, spectral beasts, and horrific abominations to overwhelm the enemies of the Realms. It's a bold new playstyle for those who prefer strategy, positioning, and relentless pressure over raw damage. New Home Fort The Home-Fort has been reborn. No longer the shining cathedral of previous seasons, the fort now reflects a world mid-collapse—a war-torn stronghold clinging to hope. Cracked stone, shattered banners, and flickers of dwarven resilience tell the story of a people on the edge... and a future not yet written. New Feature: Expeditions - The Fortune Assistant has left the Home Fort, and Kordrim the Explorer has taken his place. Kordrim will gladly take your keys to the Tomb of Fortune, Catacombs, Grave Digger's Cove, and the Elven Capital - and go fetch the loot for you in a matter of seconds. New Feature: Multiple rewards in Boss Encounters - Upon entering a boss encounter, Amen'non the Ancient will now appear if the player has more keys to the same encounter. Players can now trade the additional keys with this ancient being, which will use them to enhance the rewards, should the boss be defeated. New Feature: Boss scaling selection - Boss encounters will now scale the same as Ruptures. After defeating a Boss Encounter, you may choose to battle again in the same level or push higher levels, for better rewards. Upgrading the Rupture Portal through the Home Fort Giant will also affect how many levels you can skip in Boss encounters. New Feature: Home Fort stash - The stash chests that used to spread out through the fort have been replaced with a single, multiple tab stash. Important Notice : This change will delete all items stored in the current stash system. Players should take out any items they wish to keep from the stash Before downloading the new season patch.
