Chaos Update for Rings of Lumnis Brooch Orb

The Rings of Lumnis brooch chaos orb has been updated to provide more benefit when used in conjunction with other orbs. Previously it was possible for the chaos orb to reduce the active benefit received from the following orbs: planar, elemental, and order. On activation, the lesser of the two bonuses was being applied between chaos and the sibling orb. The greater of the two bonuses will now be applied going forward.

For example, imagine the player has activated a +500 planar orb, granting them +500 max field experience. Imagine that this player then activates a +200 chaos orb and a planar effect is triggered. Previously this player would see their +500 field experience reduced to around +200 to +220. Going forward, this reduction will not occur. Instead, the +500 field experience bonus will be extended by 30 minutes.

We hope that this makes the chaos orb play a little more nicely with its siblings. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns!
