Update 1.53.2

The hard end of the bestiary has been keeping its pockets shut. From this update the toughest monsters hand over loot far more often, and in exchange the properties on that loot roll in lower bands. More drops, humbler numbers, and the best roll is still the one you brag about.

You must update your client to log in. Close the game and the launcher, then reopen the launcher and press PLAY. On Steam the update is automatic.

Changed

• High-tier monsters drop far more often. When one of them rolls its common drop list it comes up empty much less, so every item on that list, potions and equipment alike, shows up more. Their rare drop list is unchanged.
• Liche, Stalker, Darkelf, Mountain Giant, Ettin, Frost, Demon, Unicorn, Gargoyle, Dragon, Centaur, Giant Lizard, Master Mage Orc, Minotaur and Nizie: about 3 times as often.
• Helclaw, Tiger Worm, Wyvern and Fire Wyvern: nearly 10 times as often.
• Property levels on high-tier drops are lower. The band of levels a dropped property can roll in changes as follows, and levels above the band are reached by enchanting.
• Liche, Stalker, Darkelf, Mountain Giant, Ettin and Frost: 3 to 7, now 2 to 4.
• Demon, Unicorn and Gargoyle: 4 to 8, now 3 to 5.
• Dragon, Centaur, Giant Lizard, Master Mage Orc, Minotaur and Nizie: 5 to 9, now 2 to 6.
• Helclaw, Tiger Worm and Goblin Warlock: 5 to 9, now 2 to 6.
• Wyvern, Fire Wyvern, Abaddon and Sorcerer: 6 to 10, now 3 to 6.
• Weapons fished from the two most dangerous waters follow the same change: 5 to 9, now 2 to 6.
• Low values are the common ones, on every monster. Inside a monster's band, each level is now rarer than the one below it, for every property, and the top of the band is the rare roll. Until now most properties rolled evenly across the band.
• Shields no longer roll Physical Absorption or Magic Absorption as a property. Shields that already had one of them have lost it. What a shield absorbs when it blocks is unchanged.
