Meteorite Event & Loadouts

Minor Event: Meteorite

A number of meteors have started hitting the map. We’re not entirely sure why this is, but we’ve been assured the map should remain inhabitable for at least the next few weeks.

Some of these meteors have strange contents - get to the meteor site and battle it out to collect whatever is inside!

You’ll need some more powerful tools to claim the best items. You can get those with a new Prestige XXIX Renown Upgrade.

Slayer Badge Tiers

Players were able to collect the Slayer Badge more quickly than expected. There are now 2 new tiers: the Destructor Badge and the Obliterator Badge!

These tiers increase both gold and XP rewards, but also the kill caps for these resources. You can also use the new tiers to increase or decrease the chance for a Tryhard Bot to appear!

Destructor Badges cost 5 Slayer Badges to craft, and Obliterator Badges cost 5 Destructor Badges to craft. You can upgrade them by shifting and right clicking while holding a Slayer or Destructor Badge.

Loadouts

Why waste time switching perks? With the new loadouts, you can save different configurations and restore them in just a few clicks. Loadouts can be accessed in Rocky after buying a Prestige XXI Renown Upgrade.

Rune Sacrificing

Late game players: Uncommon and Rare runes now have a purpose! At Fishing 16, the Runecrafter allows you to sacrifice three runes to get a random rune of the same tier or next tier above.

This comes for a cost of 75,000 Coins per sacrifice.

Battlepass changes:

Increased number of levels from 30 to 35
Added a Sewer Chests Battlepass quest
The 5 new Gold Pass rewards each give a 10% boost to the Reward Chest contents.
The maximum Battlepass level now gives a limited time cosmetic each season, which cannot be obtained from Cosmetic Boxes. You’ll have to wait until these new cosmetics appear to know what they are!

Other new Renown Upgrades:

Prestige XXXIV: Apollo. When enabled, the launchers send you to wherever you’re looking!
Prestige XXXVII: Healing Bow. On player kill, receive a +0.05% chance for a Volley 3 Parasite 3 breakable healing bow to drop. Has 5 tiers. This replaces the previous 0.1% chance to get one.
Prestige XLII: Renown Absorption. Gives access to the Renown absorption shop. This is mostly just to make it obvious that the feature actually exists.

Balance changes:

Raised /cf limit to 100m
Jewels now break at 0 lives (if you have any broken jewels, they should stay with you, at least for now)
Buffed Throwback (0.15% -> 1% per Prestige), added a cap of 10%
Added a 7 Day daily rewards system for new players. Throwback is now unlocked through this feature instead.
Night Pants now have a Mining 18 requirement
Nerfed Promotion (20 -> 15 max uses)
Nerfed Breakthrough Rune (6% -> 5% chance at Legendary)
Lowered Tryhard Bot coin and XP rewards (10000 -> 2500 XP, 10000 -> 5000 Coins)
Tryhard Bots no longer heal on hit

QOL changes:

Removed some potential tutorial interruptions
The Mystic Well now shows enchant lore by hovering over the enchant in the main menu, without needing to click it
Added brief intro messages from the Mystic Well on first interaction with it
Guild invites now work with players in any Sandbox lobby
Added a confirmation message when buying deals
Moved the “Buy with gems” and “Buy with coins” yummy biscuit options further apart. I don’t know why so many people needed this, but now you have it.

Party improvements:

/p list now distinguishes between online and offline players
Kick players from parties when they leave the server for more than 5 minutes (and disband if everyone leaves)
Disband parties when the leader is offline for too long
Disband if the only member is the leader
Party members now get a message when a member logs in or out
