01
The Warrior redesign — stances & three specs
The class is rebuilt from the ground up: three full specializations, each with its own mastery, and the return of the stance system.
Three specializations Redesign
Battlecraft (two-handed), Bloodrush (dual-wield) and Ironguard (shield tank) — three identities, three masteries.
Kits and masteries in detail
The return of stances Warrior
Battle Stance, Berserker Stance, Guarded Stance — one stance always active, with its dedicated bar.
Each stance's bonuses
Worth remembering
- Onrush (8-25 yard charge, 1 s stun, 9 rage) and Early Grave (execute below 20% HP) for everyone.
- Parry scales with Strength: 5% + 0.05% per point, front arc only.
- All 18 talents across the six choice rows are implemented.
02
The Mage rebuilt — including a healer Mage
All three specializations are reworked. The big news: Arcane becomes Chronomancy, a fully-fledged healing specialization.
Chronomancy Healer
You heal by dealing damage through Temporal Echo — with a Bloodlust, a combat res and the incredible Hourglass of Suspension.
The full healing loop
Cryomancy Frost
Signature procs, Glacial Spike as a finisher and a reworked Blizzard — Frost gets a real rotation.
Procs and new spells
Pyromancy Fire
Hot Streak, the Ignition mastery and Phoenix Trance: Fire revolves around chaining crits.
The crit mechanics
03
Talents 2.0 for all nine classes
Choice rows System
One option to pick per row, saved loadouts (import/export) and action bars that clean themselves up when you switch.
The engine in detail
Class passes
- Hunter: Rime Snare becomes a real armed ground trap (3 s freeze).
- Rogue: mastery identity reworked (Scrapper's Edge, False Face, Shadeslip…).
- Warlock, Druid, Paladin, Shaman: targeted rebalancing and new internal cooldowns.
Also in the engine
- Two-charge abilities now recharge in parallel, not one after the other.
- Seven panic-shield defensives recalibrated as a % of max HP.
- Fears no longer break on the first hit: break chance scales with damage taken.
- Player-applied stuns are exempt from diminishing returns in PvP.
04
Professions 2.0 — archetypes, Masterwork & enchants
The quest "A Craft to Call Your Own" from Smith Haldren in Eastbrook has you pick your pair of major professions — and the whole crafting system changes with it.
Pick your archetype Professions
A pair of major professions, an automatic hobby, and 10 artisan titles (Smith, Bladewright, Arcanist…).
The quest and the pairs
Quality & Masterwork Crafting
The random quality roll is gone: every craft comes out at the declared quality, with a Masterwork proc capped at 15%.
The exact rules
"Greater" enchants Enchanting
A second enchant tier on the 5 key slots, paid in Arcane Shards from disenchanting epics.
Tiers and slots
New crafted caster gear
- Uncommon: Eastbrook Ritual Vestments (cloth), Eastbrook Druid's Hide (leather), Eastbrook Warded Leggings (mail).
- ilvl 23 rares: Wardweave Cowl, Duskhide Wraps, Sootscale Mantle.
Crafting fixes
- Three reagents were being sold by "Sell All Junk": requalified from poor to common.
- Traded items keep their enchants, maker's mark and Masterwork.
- Crafted item tooltips finally show item level and item score.
05
Card Duel, deeds & interface
Card Duel PvP
A 1v1 card duel at the Card Master ("Dealer of Chance") in the starting zone — your first match win earns the House Rules deed.
The rules of the game
Renown & deeds
- The leaderboard now ranks by total Renown.
- Three "stranded" deeds are granted retroactively on login (Giantslayer, Well Rested, Something Shiny).
- A dedicated chime plays on every Book of Deeds unlock.
Movable party frames
- Party/raid frames can be dragged and locked, position remembered.
- Style, scale, raid columns, sort order and health text configurable in the options.
- Compact aura strip filtered to what's actionable: debuffs, HoTs, absorbs, major defensives.
06
Store, client & audio
Solana wallet & USDC Store
Connect a wallet directly in game (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack), with USDC as the Claudium's 4th payment method.
Browser, mobile, desktop
Welcome screen & GPU
- New welcome screen: live game news, your character on stage, gold "Enter World" button.
- Hybrid PCs (gaming laptops) finally use the discrete GPU on Windows and Linux — no more 13 FPS on the integrated chip.
- A toast warns when the game runs on a software renderer.
Audio
- All 130 hand-mastered sounds of the custom library are now live — no more placeholders.
- Mobs vocalize at rest, family by family.
- New option to mute notification sounds without touching the world.
- Wands get an auto-attack sound per school (arcane, holy, shadow).
07
Heroic dungeons & raid loot
Heroics rebalanced Dungeons
Heroic trash hits 25% softer, and the final boss's Heroic Marks now pay the whole group — even absentees, by mail.
Numbers and reset rules
Nythraxis loot repaired
- A bug was skipping the normal loot roll groups on heroic kills — fixed.
- No more duplicate drops; the 4-item guarantee is preserved.
- Four new ilvl 29 epics: Bonewrought Greatsword, Direfang Greatblade, Bonewrought Bulwark and Wraithfire Orb (the first "held offhand" item).
- Boss-summoned adds no longer evade when the boss is kited, and dancing through the exit portal wipes your threat.
08
The rest of the update
World & rendering
- Targeting a mob shows its 3D portrait in the target frame, tinted by family.
- Nameplates: level badge with the classic con colors and visual states (target, hostile, dead, pet…).
- 9 GLB props replaced (crypt altar, delve exits, rite shrines…).
- The Highwatch training dummy gets a real model — and the freeze near the ogre camp is fixed.
- Pinch-to-zoom on the world map on touch devices.
Fixes
- Accented names and messages are no longer mangled (UTF-8 decoding fixed) — good news for the French.
- On iOS, coming back to the game no longer dumps you on the login screen.
- Item comparison finally accounts for Hit, Crit and Haste Rating.
- The caster T2 two-piece bonus now properly reduces cast pushback.

- Moderators can issue timed bans on Daily Rewards.
- Discord flair: stale roles purged, Admin duplicates resolved, clean re-linking.
- Responding to a resurrection offer is finally wired server-side.
Localization & tech
- 8,094 registry keys across 21 locales, zero pending rows after a 3,072-row fill.
- Repo type-checking moves to TypeScript 7 (native Go compiler).
- CI is 4-way sharded on PRs and releases.
