[Duskruin] February 2026 Updates

This time around, not too many updates to the arena or sewers.
For the last couple of runs, it has been requested for some form of sewer cache system in the arena. I did add some easter eggs (one of them are still there) just to see what all people may do in the arena for flavor if there wasn’t any strings attached. To no one’s surprise, there isn’t a whole lot of RP happening, it’s mostly just business. I didn’t want to go back down the road of traps and I didn’t want to add more tedium that is just something to script. So I did a year of testing for some data and decided to go another direction.
The rare spawn, last run was the crab that announced “shiny,” two years ago were the clockwork golems, and then before that were the automatons, are now a special reward if you get them to randomly spawn. They are quite a bit more frequent than a cache, so the award is a flat 1,000 bloodscrip if you get one. It doesn’t mean you may seem them often, if at all, but over the entire event they should be pretty close to the same valuation of sewer caches. I will be monitoring these numbers and tweaking where I can during the live run if I notice things are heading in a poor (or too good of a) direction.
I will also be adding some exposure to some of the other data we’ve been tracking for years. Like the rare spawn, other little tidbits have been tracked and will show up in your EVENT STATS after opening night. You will see you likely have some rare spawns already, this would be since the clockwork golems. I need to think about some other way to do achievements vs titles, because the titles are a lot of work and I don’t think many people care for the ones we’ve done. Correct me if I’m wrong.
With loot cap not ignoring event drops, if you select DUSKRUIN REWARD LOOT, after 10mil silver is earned in the month, you will start to see a message that you are approaching the loot cap. You can leave it on and still get loot, you are still capable of getting a 6x weapon or a nice enhancive, but once you start seeing that message your item cannot be sold at the pawnshop. The messaging happens when you enter the arena or the sewers, so if you want to switch once you see that message, you can. Because loot cap is a percentage, it kind of works like the Canadian penny being retired. There are times you will see the message but your loot can still be sold. It’s a rounding issue and I am siding with the player getting the benefit of the doubt vs just hard locking everything from being sold once it happens.
If anything goes haywire, we will adjust as needed.
