Released 9 October 2026 (build 25817367 ) . The new systems come first, then every ability, talent, item, status effect and rune set whose numbers or text changed, with the old value next to the new one.
Systems
The Alchemist can now transmute 9 runes of one rarity into 1 rune: Uncommon to Rare at 50%, Rare to Legendary at 15% and Legendary to Set at 50%, with a random rune of the same rarity on a miss. Set runes reroll into another Set rune. Legendary and Set runes need Inferno unlocked.
Offline characters get the Solo Self-Found status, which doubles the odds of every drop that online characters can trade: divine gear, Black Mist, Legendary and Set runes, Legendary Reins, Gold Bars and Consecration Stones. The base Black Mist chance also went from 0.2% to 0.25%.
Rift bosses roll for loot 4 times instead of 3, with more weight on Legendary; XP per tier went from +1.5% to +3%; the boss now drops half a Soul Shard more per tier (rounded); entry now costs 3 Inferno Skulls.
A spin costs 10,000 gold instead of 5,000. 16 of the 17 prizes doubled in amount; Earth Essence went from 14 to 50. Royal Treasure Key became less likely (weight 1 to 0.5).
The random variation on wave timers is gone: waves now arrive on a fixed timer.
