Duskruin Updates
on 9 February 2023 10:44 PM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord Forums
in paid-events CategoryHey all, Duskruin is upon us, and with that, I have some big updates going in.
NEW DROP: BOOSTS
During all activities at Duskruin, you will have a chance to acquire a BOOST (arena and heist will be at the end of the run, sewers will be during a random search). The chance will be based on a 1d250. If you get one, you will be granted one of the following BOOSTs.
– Instant Mind Clearers
– Item Superchargers
– Luck Boosters
– Long-Term Experience Boosts
– Bounty Boosts
These will go to the character running the activity and will populate right on your BOOST information. It will not be a physical item that can be passed off. You can use the DUSKRUIN REWARD to select which one you will get when they happen or leave it at random.SEWERS: BLOODSCRIP REWARD UPDATE
Following in the footsteps of Ebon Gate, the sewers will have the floor increased from 15 to 28 and lowering the ceiling from 32 to 31, meaning you will earn between 28 and 31 bloodscrip. Caches will still be rewarded occasionally, but will be rarer than last run to make up for the average going from ~237 to ~295 pre-cache.
ALL ACTIVITIES: DUSKRUIN REWARD EXP UPDATE
The instant exp that is part of the DUSKRUIN REWARD feature has been increased from 15 to 20.
ALL ACTIVITIES: TROVE TOKENS
The Trove has been retired from pay events where the cost isn’t silver based. The Trove may still come around at silver-based events in the future, but it will no longer be part of Duskruin and Ebon Gate.
BANK HEIST AND BAG OF HOLDING
The Bank Heist will be retired as a voucher (booklet) entry activity after this run. I will be reusing the Bank Heist for something else entirely tentatively in August. It will have a different meaning when it is revamped into something new that you can do at Duskruin when the time comes. With that, the Bag of Holding drops will also be entirely retired after this run as well from getting one at Duskruin. Getting ways to expand your current Bag of Holding will still be possible, but it won’t be a random drop anymore in any of the activities. No ETA when it will return though.
BLOOD CRYSTAL DROP RATE
The blood crystal drop rate will be increasing from .1% to .5%. This is the rare item to make the bag of holding.
DISCONNECTS
We are going to make the disconnect 280 bloodscrip in the heist and arena (disconnecting in the sewers doesn’t boot you). You will get no other rewards. If we notice this is being abused in any way, we will remove it and possibly warn/lockout everyone involved.
MANIA
We have updated the automated auction mechanics based on feedback from all of you. We hope it will be a much better experience going forward.
Plus a sewer update/fix from Wyrom
Friday, Feb 10, 2023 at 1:52 PM:
Another thing I noticed when everyone brought attention to it here. Loot was not intended to drop more than once anymore. That has been fixed. Loot will happen on a specific search going forward so it’s not a mystery. Rabbit feet that you can purchase will still increase your odds to BoH items and bloodrune stones.
