01

The Dungeon Finder — group up in one click

A new window (Shift+I) to queue for dungeons and the raid without going through chat. Matching stays deterministic: no randomness, the simulation keeps its integrity.

Catalog & Quick Match System

The four normal dungeons, their heroic variants and the Nythraxis raid — role-based queue, FIFO order.

How the queue works

The Premade Board Group

Group leaders publish their listing; everyone else applies from a board instead of spamming chat.

Publish and join

Good to know

  • Group proposal: 30 seconds to accept.
  • Declining = a 60 s lockout before re-queuing.
  • Matching is deterministic — same queue, same result, no randomness.
02

Hit Rating & beefed-up heroic loot

Hit Rating Stat

A new stat: 10 Hit Rating = +1% hit chance, reducing misses and resists against higher-level enemies.

What it changes

Heroic made readable Dungeons

Above-level penalties in Heroic drop from 44% / 43% to roughly 26% / 25%.

The new numbers

Richer heroic loot

  • All ilvl 31 heroic gear gains additional combat ratings.
  • Nythraxis heroic pieces carry dual ratings, marking quality steps.
  • Four retired heroic items are restored for players still holding them.
03

A defensive cooldown for every tank

All three tank classes finally get their dedicated survival button — enough to soak the big hits of the Deathless Court.

The 3 cooldowns Tank

Ironhold, Sacred Bulwark, Primal Reflexes — one per class, each with its own flavor.

Effects, durations and cooldowns

Also on threat

  • Taunts now bypass the impact resist roll: no more “resisted” taunt against a higher-level enemy.
  • Immediate takeover even at a level gap — the tank stays in control of its target.

Why it matters

  • On the Deathless Court (v0.25.0 heroic raid), every tank now has a way to survive a burst window.
  • The druid's Primal Reflexes stays usable while shapeshifted.
04

Windows client & quality of life

Signed Windows client App

  • A signed installer via the “Download for Windows” button.
  • Authenticode signing (Azure Key Vault): no more SmartScreen “unknown publisher” warning.

Clickable gathering

  • Mining, Logging and Herbalism nodes are clickable within 5 yards.
  • Per-player respawn timers now sync correctly online.

Weapon sheathing Comfort

Z stows the weapon on your back, each family with its own animation. It auto-draws on combat actions.

The details

Bags & equipment

  • Drag a bag item onto the paperdoll to equip it directly.
  • Right-click to equip/use, Shift+right-click to destroy.
  • Action-bar consumables persist through respec and relog.

Interface & settings

  • Keybind repair: Q/E strafe restored, Damage Meters rebound to Shift+H.
  • XP floaters bumped to 20px with a 1800ms lifetime.
  • The attack button becomes removable from the Interface options.
  • Tooltips always show class restrictions.
05

Social & community

5 new Discord flairs

  • Five Discord roles grant a colored nameplate tag in game: Senior Mod, Junior Mod, Content Creator, LEGEND, SHILL.
  • Your own nameplate shows by default for new accounts.

Chat & presentation

  • Mob combat chatter routes to the Combat Log tab.
  • Community Discord invite consolidated.
  • Chat colors match the active send channel, with sticky selection.
06

Combat, quests & fixes

Combat

  • Stealth gating fixed for Gut Punch, Ambush, Garrote and Sap.
  • Sureflight Aura no longer double-stacks: a second source replaces the first.
  • Rare-mob quest drops credit damage contributors, not just tap ownership.

Quests & world

  • Quest prerequisites resolve immediately after turn-in, without reopening the dialog.
  • Corrected directions for “The Bound Guardian”.
  • Movement intent clears on arena respawn and companion revive.
07
