Bosses & Ancient Enchantments
At a glance:
- 5 new Boss modifiers and 4 new Ancient enchantments!
- Full rework of Riftslayer Crowns!
- Player-unique spawner cooldowns!
- Improvements to early game Boss progression! and much more…
Riftslayer Crowns
As a means of providing extra diversity and long-term goals with Riftwalker, Riftslayer Crowns are now capable of affecting a much wider range of stats.
Tier I Riftslayer Crowns randomly select two of these stats to boost. Each additional tier adds a new stat and increases the strength of the boost, as well as adding an additional Protection level!
Tier III+ Crowns also now have an Attribute Slot. This must be activated with a Crown Attribute Crystal from the Spectral Market.
The number to the right of each stat is a float, showing how close you are to the maximum boost for that stat at your Crown’s tier. A 1 float stat is a perfect stat.
New Boss Modifiers
Bosses are feeling very… energised, lately. Fight bosses to find the four new modifiers, and get their Ancient enchant equivalents!
In addition, a new special modifier: Cthonic. This applies to all bosses you spawn with The Pact active, and allows players to fight you during the boss fight. As a reward for being a risk-taker, you get 20% more loot and Soul Shards.
Spawner Rework
Boss spawners are now fully client-side. Your bosses and cooldowns are separate from other people’s. No more searching for charged spawners!
You can still fight bosses together if you choose by joining a party.
