Patch 1.4.1 Build #54053 (PC, Xbox) and #53926 (PlayStation™) on 28 May 2024
Game Updates
- The Enchanting window now explicitly informs you that you can't re-roll into a Greater Affix.
- Hellborne enemies in Helltide now deal additional fire damage with their attacks.
- Masterworking materials can now be directly transmuted instead of requiring the opening of a Materials Cache to receive them.
- Once Masterworking is unlocked by one character, it is now always accessible on all characters across realms.
- The Gold cost of Masterworking has been reduced.
- Examples:
- Ranks 1-4: Unchanged
- Rank 5: reduced from 450,000 to 400,000
- Rank 8: reduced from 1,000,000 to 800,000
- Rank 12: reduced from 10,000,000 to 2,500,000
Developer’s Note: We want to make the main push for Masterworking to be focused on the acquisition of materials, and less focused on needing the Gold. We want to avoid the possibility of having the materials available, but needing to take extra time to collect the Gold.
- The Armor cap is now displayed in the tooltip when hovering over Armor in character stats.
- The surge damage from Sorcerer's Enhanced Charged bolts has been increased from 30% to 45%.
Developer’s Note: We investigated an issue where the surge from Enhanced Charged Bolts was happening too frequently when enemies were tightly stacked together, which caused performance issues. We also found that the surge damage was doing less damage than intended while the Piercing Static aspect was equipped. While fixing those two issues (see bug fixes below), it was decided that a 50% buff to the surge damage would compensate for reducing how often it procs when enemies are stacked together.
- The drop rates for Scattered Prisms have been increased from multiple sources.
- Treasure Goblins now drop Scattered Prisms more often.
- 15% Chance in World Tiers I and II
- 25% Chance in World Tier III
- 30% Chance in World Tier IV
- World Bosses now always drop Scattered Prisms, and the amount they drop increases by World Tier.
- World Tiers I and II: 1 Scattered Prism
- World Tier III: 2 Scattered Prisms
- World Tier IV: 3 Scattered Prisms
- The Butcher will always drop a Scattered Prism on defeat.
- Treasure Goblins now drop Scattered Prisms more often.
- Reworked item stat comparisons to be more intuitive when the same stat appears on an item multiple times, which most often occurs with tempered items.
Developer’s Note: Previously, if you compared an item’s stats and it had a value appear twice (such as Cooldown Reduction,) it would display those two different values individually. We have now updated this to combine those individual values to only display one value, making it easier to compare stats across items.
- The Whisper bounty requirements for defeating Hellborne has been reduced from defeating 3 to defeating 1.
Developer’s Note: We've made this change to compensate for a bug fix that can be seen further down in the patch notes.
