League Patch #1 (2024-02-10)

  • Fixed the client crash when opening the mercenary hiring page
  • Fixed an issue with the treasure fallen not dropping the full amount when killed too quickly
  • Reduced the drops slightly of treasure fallen in hell mode
  • Fixed a few bugs to help with server stability

League Patch #2 (2024-02-15)

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the 200% experience bonus in hell from applying
  • Increased the spawn rate of Treasure Fallen in LoD zones (about twice as likely)
  • Increased the chance of a map event being a treasure fallen event
    • This was done by replacing the chance for Gheed event and the uber key event with Treasure Fallen (so Treasure Fallen is 3x more likely than other events)
    • The Uber key event will no longer spawn due to the above
  • Increased the base chance for map events from 33% -> 66%
  • Increased the rune and crafting infusion drop rates on treasure fallen in Hell
  • Added Larzuk's Puzzlepiece as a drop from treasure fallen in Hell
  • Changed the jewel -> jewel fragments recipe to produce 3 jewel fragments per jewel (the 4 fragments was unintentional but it was breaking the recipe with a full cube of jewels)
  • Added new recipes for crafting league only to recycle crafted items:
    • Any crafted item + a rune from Ko -> Pul will revert the crafted item to a magic item which can be crafted again
    • The item level of the recycled item will be reduced by a percentage based on the rune:
      • Ko + Crafted item -> Magic Item with 70% item level
      • Fal + Crafted item -> Magic Item with 80% item level
      • Lem + Crafted item -> Magic Item with 90% item level
      • Pul + Crafted item -> Magic Item with 100% item level
