Gameplay and Investment

Exotic Armor

Hunter

Spirit of the Cyrtarachne

• Woven Mail duration increased to ten seconds from six.
  • This was a change from Update 9.1.0 that has now been reverted.

Abilities

Hunter

• Gambler’s Dodge
  • In PvP, reduced melee-energy gain at 100 Melee stat from 80% to 50%.
    • Dodging near an enemy player still doubles this amount.
  • Tempest Strike
    • Fixed an issue where Tempest Strike would activate inconsistently with Combination Blow.

Power and Progression

• Increased the effect of the Armorer ghost mods on the drop chance of their related Armor Archetype.
  • The drop chance of the related archetype will be approximately 33% (increased from 25%).
  • Due to the nature of random chance, it may take significantly more than 3 drops for the effect to become noticeable.
  • We have carefully verified that these mods are successfully modifying archetype drop rate.

Quests and Pursuits

• The Seasonal Hub’s Weekly Reward Track will now award 50 Chronologs at Rank 18 each week, for up to 2600 annually. To accommodate this addition, the following shifts have also occurred:
  • Rank 6 will now offer the two Enhancement Prisms previously offered on Rank 8.
  • Rank 8 will now offer 23 Strange Coins, rather than the 17 previously offered on Rank 11.
    • While this is an increase for this reward, the total number of Strange Coins on the track has been reduced from 41 to 34.
  • Rank 11 will now offer the 50 Unstable Cores previously offered on Rank 13.
  • Rank 13 will now offer the one Ascendant Shard previously offered on Rank 16.
  • Rank 16 will now offer the one Exotic Cipher previously offered on Rank 17.
  • Rank 17 will now offer the 450 Bright Dust previously offered on Rank 18.
• Fixed an issue where seasonal challenges from the first part of Reclamation could still be completed but not claimed, causing visual issues.

General

• Fixed an issue where the Obsidian Durasteel, Cyborg Nemesis, and Marauder Progeny universal ornaments cannot be equipped.
• Fixed an issue where Bright Dust prices for some Armor Ornament Set pieces sold in Eververse were too high. Refunds for the Bright Dust price difference will be provided at a later date.
• Fixed an issue causing the Titan Gladius Mark ornament to crash the game. The ornament’s intended appearance has been restored.
