Beyond Rebirth

This update expands equipment progression, introduces Vaelrith, and adds three repeatable rebirth boss encounters with exclusive rewards.

Equipment Expansion

Three Rebirth Bosses

Each encounter features distinct mechanics and is available on demand, separately from the regular World Boss rotation.

• Added a rare Gilded Bellkeeper cosmetic appearance.
• Victories award Grave Seals, which can be spent on boss equipment.
• Rebirth boss equipment survives future rebirths with its refinement intact.
• Grave Seals and rebirth boss progression also carry through rebirth.
• Encounters can be paused and resumed from saved boss health.

Boss Hub & Presentation

• World Boss navigation now remains visible between appearances.
• Added a countdown to the next World Boss without revealing its identity.
• Separated World Bosses and Rebirth Bosses into dedicated tabs.
• Added boss selection cards, compact encounter screens, reward previews, and optional mechanics details.
• Added themed backgrounds, boss artwork, and a unique World Boss navigation icon.
• Updated event-buff banners.

Balance & Fixes

• Corrected the Lich four-piece dodge bonus to 8%.
• Adjusted Ignarath’s crown to 80 defence, scale mail to 110 defence, and Breath of Eternity to 145 attack.
• Improved pity-drop ownership checks to recognize refined equipment, variants, and pending loot across live combat, World Boss rewards, and offline progression.
• Equipment presets now validate requirements before applying changes.
• Style-specific equip requirements apply when equipping ranged or magic armour and when switching presets. Universal rings and amulets remain exempt.
• Nightfall supports Void Arrows.
• Rebirth boss special attacks replace the normal strike on their turn and respect defensive mitigation.

Collection & Rebirth Requirements

The regular equipment expansion adds collection entries required for future rebirths. Previously earned rebirths remain unchanged.

Rebirth-exclusive equipment and pets are separate from ordinary rebirth collection requirements.
