[City Dungeons]

Image

Dungeons have been opened in The Inevitable City and Altdorf. Wapblade Tunnels, Sigmar Crypts, Bloodwrought Enclave and Bilerot Burrow are now open with no entry restrictions for one week.

Tasks to complete for this week will appear under the Live Event section of the Tome of Knowledge.

Legends say two lectors, twins Maxwell and Markus Matzenbach, let corruption crawl into their hearts and abused their positions of power.

The Skaven clan of the Warpblade has burrowed from unknown depths to lie waiting beneath the city of Altdorf.

The Bloodwrought tribe, known for ungodly murder sprees, once hunted holy men and eventually expanded their reach to anyone who crossed their path.

Bilerot Burrow features winding passageways covered in slime, with teeth protruding from the floors and walls.

Details on Item Changes inside. It's rather long
Spoiler:
Gear Changes

It's been a long time since we've had some gear changes, and in preparation for new top tier stuff, we needed to revisit the stat levels that have gone largely untouched since initial release. In large part for the preparation of these changes, we spent several months developing methods for implementing gear that provide appropriate stat weights for almost every aspect of your equipment. This also means giving us a target to adjust items towards, or as can find in-game, an Item Level.

Item Levels were experiemented with in T1, where you can see on items the Item Level separate from the Minimum Rank, on blue and purple gear in T1, you can see this Item Level shows as slightly higher. For top tier equipment, it's probably more important to see what the Item Level is, as many sets simply require base R40 to equip, and the relative strength of the sets is blurred. With formulas in place that account for stats, bonuses, armor, and resistances, we can ensure that each set fits their appropriate Item Level, with the only real wildcard being how valuable the proc might be.

These formulas also account for larger increases in the early levels of T4, and gradually decreasing in scale the higher up you go. While we still want to see progression when it comes to acquiring top tier gear, we also need there to be a competitive environment for the majority of the game. These changes today will use a solid framework to find a balance between those two goals.

This project gives us a chance to shuffle a few under/overperforming sets around and make sure we don't have any strange outliers from piece to piece. Also, since I'll have my hands on every piece of set gear, I can make some small adjustments to set piece bonuses that we've considered for a while. You will notice that set bonuses are not matching with each piece, but rather progressing in power. It's a small adjustment, as we didn't want to entirely discourage players that mix and match sets, but it is intended to reward you for wearing a full set rather than stacking partial bonuses.

If you come across any glaring and obvious imbalances from classes that typically have similar stats, please use the Bugtracker.


Ruin Chest 43
215/430/645 armor -1 morale regen

Ruin Shoulder 42
189/378/567 armor -3 to 26stat
OR -2 crit +1 26stat

Ruin Helm 42
189/378/567 armor -5 to 28stat, -1 to 12stat

Ruin Gloves 41
164/328/492 armor -3 to 23stat, -2 to 12stat

Ruin Boots 41
164/328/492 armor -3 to 23stat, -2 to 12stat

Ruin Set
2pc 48 stat or 194/387/581 armor
3pc 53 stat or 265 resist, or 215/430/645 armor
5pc 63 stat (a buff!)

Beastlord has been for a while one of the easiest defensive sets to acquire, with only its RR gating fresh 40's from wearing it without renown. Most of the adjustment hits the large resists and armor values. It's now between Ruin and Anni/Merc in ilvl. This will more accurately reflect value of time invested and difficulty of content (as we continue to grow in gear, these lair bosses become more trivial). Renown requirement has been removed.

Removed RR, R40 gear instead
Beastlord Chest 45
225/450/675 armor 30/30 resists -2 to 17stat

Beastlord Shoulder 45
203/406/609 armor 30/25 resists, -2 to 16/16stats each

Beastlord Helm 45
203/406/609 armor 30/25 resists, -4 to 16stat

Beastlord Back 45
+10 to 62resists

Beastlord Accessory 45
+1 to 23stat -1 AP, +12 to 48resists

Beastlord Set
3pc 55stat or 225armor
4pc 60stat


Anni and Merc took a hit for the tier they fit into, but it's all relative to other changes.

Anni Chest 48
-2 17stat, 15hp/s, 236/472/708 armor
if 3AP -2 32stat

Anni Shoulder 47
-2 crit, -3str/int/bal, 212/424/636 armor

Anni Helm 47
-4 to 29stat, -1 16stat, 212/424/636 armor

Anni Gloves 46
-6 to 29stat, -2 to 16stat, 183/366/549 armor

Anni Boots 46
-4 to 25stat, 183/366/549 armor

Anni Set
2pc 53 stat
3pc 290 resist or 236/472/708 armor or 58 stat


Merc Chest 48
-2 17stat, 15hp/s, 236/472/708 armor
if 3AP -2 32stat
if Strikethrough -5 28stat

Merc Shoulder 47
-2 crit, -3str/int/bal, 212/424/636 armor

Merc Helm 47
-4 to 29stat, -1 16stat, 212/424/636 armor

Merc Gloves 46
-6 to 29stat, -2 to 16stat, 183/366/549 armor

Merc Boots 46
-4 to 25stat, 183/366/549 armor

Merc Set
2pc 53 stat
3pc 290 resist or 236/472/708 armor or 58 stat

While Rare Fortune has been a desirable set, it overshadows several others that should be out in front. The rarity has certainly been a gating mechanism, but difficulty of content is not measured by hours of killing relatively simple mobs. Knocking this down the tier list allows it to remain a "nice" pickup, without feeling like you've bypassed significantly more difficult content.

Rare Fortune Chest 49
240/480/720 armor if 12power then +3 power, -3 27stat, +3 17stat
if reduc aPen +3 16stat

RF Shoulder 49 rank38
215/430/645 armor if crit: -2 crit -1 18stat
if aPen: -1 aPen -2 20stat -3 22stat

RF Helm 49
215/430/645 armor -2 init or -3 26stat unless 29stat then +1 13stat

RF Gloves 49
190/380/570 armor -7 stats

RF Boots 49
190/380/570 armor -2 stats

RF Set
2pc 54 stats
3pc 59 stats


Redeye will be just above Anni/Merc, it's more reliable to acquire from Gunbad than trying to hunt down RF pieces. Unless you're rich. But hey, you'll still need the Wards for future dungeons.

Redeye Chest 49
240/480/720 -3 30stat, -2 20stat

Redeye Shoulder 49
215/430/645 -4 26stat, -3 16stat

Redeye Helm 49
215/430/645 -2 29stat

Redeye Gloves 49
190/380/570 -3 24stat, -3 16stat

Redeye Boots 49
190/380/570 -2 crit reduce, -2 18stat

Redeye Back 49
+16 60resist, +5 12stat

Redeye Set
3pc 59stat or 720armor
4pc 64stat or 473/264armor or 264resist
5pc 69stat
6pc 74stat


Conq/Dom getting adjusted ever so slightly so the formulas all play nice.

Conq Chest 53
255/510/765 armor -2 35stat

Conq Shoulder 52
225/450/675 armor -3 32stat, -2 18stat, +2hp/s, if morale/AA only -3 32stat

Conq Helm 52
225/450/675 armor -2 32stat

Conq Gloves 51
192/392/588 armor -2 27stat

Conq Boots 51
192/392/588 armor if crit -1crit -13 27stat, or -1 block -3 27stat

Conq Belt 50
+9 to 74resist

Conq Set
2pc 57stat
3pc 63stat
4pc 69stat


Dom Chest 53
255/510/765 armor -2 35stat

Dom Shoulder 52
225/450/675 armor if morale/AA only -3 32stat, if APen/-APen then -3 32stat, -2 18stat

Dom Helm 52
225/450/675 armor -2 32stat

Dom Gloves 51
192/392/588 armor -2 27stat

Dom Boots 51
192/392/588 armor -1crit -13 27stat

Dom Belt 50
+9 to 74resist

Dom Set
2pc 57stat
3pc 63stat
4pc 69stat or 280/561 armor


The PQ's to get Onslaught gear are particularly difficult as they require several coordinated groups to knock out. Previously this set would have been slightly below Conq/Dom.

Onslaught Chest 54
259/518/777 armor if regen +1 24stat, if -APen -1APen +1 26stat

Onslaught Shoulder 54
231/462/693 armor
if crit w/24 -2crit +3 24stat
if crit w/20-20 -2crit +3 wnd
if strikethrough +1 mainstat

Onslaught Helm 54
231/462/693 armor if disrupt +1main, if AP +3 main

Onslaught Gloves 54
203/406/609 armor if init/APen -2 init

Onslaught Boots 54
203/406/609 armor if block/dodge +2 16stat, else -6 power

Onslaught Set
2pc 58 stat or 234 armor
3pc 64 stat

For the sake of Trollslayer i am glad Spinecrusher is back there.
I hope you revert Spellbreaker to its original form. The Giantslayer-tree is in a worse state than before you touched it.
Distracting Roar is still on a 10 second cooldown.

we are aware of people not being able to enter the new dungeons and the issue has been resolved but will need a server restart to fix ingame and I will restart the server after the current seige or when I cant wait anymore.

Thanks Tesq for the bugreport
