THRONE AND LIBERTY update 2.4.0 downtime will begin at 10:30 PM PT (5:30 AM UTC) on April 2 and last approximately 3.5 hours. It includes a new system to manage your runes, adjustments to Guild and Riftstone Boss loot, and more. Find the complete list of changes listed below.
RUNE MANAGEMENT
- A new Rune Book UI has been added to the Item section of the Main Menu.
- Instead of obtaining multiple copies of each rune as an item, obtaining runes now unlocks and levels up a single unified entry in the Rune Book UI – these unified basic Rune can be equipped to multiple items at once. Chaos Runes can only be equipped to one item at a time.
- Rune Synergies have been simplified by removing the various quality tiers and providing a single maximized Synergy benefit for each rune color combination.
- The Rune listings allow you to search, favorite, and filter through the list of your available Runes.
- When selecting an item to modify equipped runes, the rune list will only show runes that are eligible to equip to that item type.
- Drag and drop Runes from your collection list to the Item’s unlocked Rune slots in the top section of the UI to equip Runes to an item.
- The rune list now displays the level, stat benefit, and stat value of each collected rune along with a progress bar that displays along the bottom of each Rune entry.
- This progress bar acts as a Rune leveling progress guarantee; now when you receive Runes of the same level as the one you have collected, this progress bar increases until it fills.
- Once filled, that rune will increase to the next level; setting a maximum amount of times, you can receive an individual rune of the same level before receiving a rune level increase.
- Chaos Runes: A maximum of 100 Chaos Runes can be stored in the Rune UI. Chaos Runes you don’t intend to use can be deleted from the list, freeing up a slot.
- Rune Fragments will no longer be able to be acquired, and any existing rune fragments in your inventories or storage will eventually be removed!
GUILD RAID AND RIFTSTONE BOSSES
- Adjusted the loot drop tables for Talandre Guild Raid and Riftstone bosses (Daigon, Leviathan, Pakilo Naru, Manticus Brothers) to include a guaranteed T2 Armor or Accessory drop on each kill in addition to the current drop pools.
