May 26th, 2026 Update Changelog

Gameplay

• AI players much better at using potions and scrolls in battle against the player

• Further loot variety improvements

  • Monsters now drop a wider mix of potions, scrolls, wands, staves, arrowheads, rings, and crafting components instead of falling back on plain gold or the same few items

  • Drop rates on many uncommon and rare items were raised so they show up more reliably

  • Tightened the chance of receiving multiple items from a single kill so big multi-item drops are rarer while single drops are unchanged

  • Reduced plain gold payouts from monsters in favor of more reliable crafting ingredient drops across common, uncommon, and rare tiers

  • The Hergling was effectively a treasure piñata, dropping a large bundle of items per kill. Drop rates were brought down significantly so it now drops loot in line with other creatures of its rank

• The Dragons Breath spell will work if the player is in the blast radius instead of blocking the spell from being casted

Performance

• Added in more performance optimizations resulting in faster combat outcome predictions and smoother AI turns

• Resolved a bad animation state when fighting a Stinging Guard that took 10 seconds to finish its animation

Change Log Treasures of the Magi

UI

• Added in the Treasures of the Magi Icon to the title screen to help indicate that a player has and is using the DLC
