Note that a handful of other properties are still slated to receive changes.

Known Issues:

Pixie’s Mischief Update

Pixie’s Mischief can now be activated to clear the stored Reverberation.

Pixie’s Mischief Update (again)

The Reverberation’s stored spell now has a duration of 4 hours, up from 15 minutes. Per the previous update, the stored spell can be cleared with GEM ACTIVATE PixieMischief

Hinterwilds: Light of the Disir Update

The regional gemstone property Hinterwilds: Light of the Disir has received a minor increase in flare damage.

Dispulsion Ward Update

The Dispulsion Ward gemstone property has been updated to reflect dispels.

New: When an enemy targets you with a dispel, there is a 15/20/25/30/35% chance that the enemy will be subject to an SMR test. On a failure, the dispel has no effect on you and is reflected back at the enemy.

Hinterwilds: Light of the Disir Update (again)

An issue has been resolved where this gemstone property would flare outside the Hinterwilds.

Dispulsion Ward Renamed to Reflective Ward

Opportunistic Sadism and Poison Ivy – Poison Flares

Poison Flares on these gemstone properties have been converted to major poison, resulting in shorter damage intervals.
