Later this week, we’re planning to deploy the 3.25.1 patch which includes changes to the Recombinator, Thaumaturgic Dust and Tier 17 Map modifiers. Check out a preview of its patch notes below.

The following patch notes are still subject to change prior to the patch’s deployment. We’ll deploy the 3.25.1 update on consoles as soon as possible after its release on PC.

3.25.1 Patch Notes

Settlers Improvements

• Reworked how shipping Thaumaturgic Dust affects Shipping Risk and Rewards. Previously, it was multiplying the shipment value and having a disproportionately high impact on risk compared to rewards. Now, it simply adds to Shipment Value and scales the amount of rewards based on the other goods being shipped. This means the way Thaumaturgic Dust affects Shipment Value/Risk now directly correlates with the amount of rewards you will receive, and in almost all cases this is a buff from before.
• When Recombinating items, rarer Modifiers now have a much higher chance to be selected for the resulting item than before.
• Players now spawn further away from the portal in the Admiral Valerius Boss Area to help prevent leaving by accident.
• Added the Uber Boss Fragments, missing Fossils, and the Blighted Scouting Report to the Currency Exchange.

General Improvements and Changes

• Adjusted the following Tier 17 Map Modifiers:
  • Tier 17 Sawblades mod slowed down and there are only 3 sawblades (from 6)
  • The Marked for Death debuff no longer prevents the recovery of life and energy shield. It now increases damage taken by 50% (from 30%)
  • Players and their Minions deal no damage for 3 out of every 10 seconds (from 4 seconds every 10 seconds)
  • Players have 3% reduced Action Speed for each time they've used a skill recently (from 4%)
  • Monsters have 100% increased Area of Effect and fire 2 additional Projectiles (from 4 additional Projectiles)
  • Monsters take 35-45% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes (from 100%)
  • Players have 25-30% less Area of Effect (from 50%)
  • Players have 25-30% less Defences (from 50%)
  • Rare and Unique monsters remove 5% of life, mana and energy shield from players or their minions on hit (from 10%)
• The following mods no longer roll on Tier 17 Maps:
  • 100% reduced Effect of Curses on Monsters
  • Players have -2 to maximum number of Summoned Totems
  • Players in Area take 20% increased Damage per nearby Ally
  • Players cannot gain Endurance, Frenzy, or Power Charges
  • Players cannot Recharge Energy Shield, and Players cannot Regenerate Life, Mana or Energy Shield
  • Players cannot Block, and Players cannot Suppress Spell Damage
  • Players have 90% reduced effect of Non-Curse Auras from Skills
  • Players have 80% less Recovery Rate of Life and Energy Shield
  • Monsters Cannot be Leeched From
• Added a new Tier 17 Map Modifier: Players have 50-60% reduced Maximum total Life, Mana and Energy Shield Recovery per second from Leech.
• The Divination Scarab of Plenty now grants additional Packs of Magic Monsters that have 800% increased chance to drop Divination Cards, instead of modifying existing packs in the area. It also now has a limit of 5 (from 1).
• The Bestiary Craft to 30% quality a map, now specifies it grants 30% base quality (replacing any alternate quality types from Maven Chisels). This fixes a bug where if you used this craft on a map with quality from a Maven Chisel it wouldn't have added more of the alternate quality.
• Updated the Vengeful Cry Skill Gem description to clarify that Minions cannot gain rage.
• The Singular Carapaces Atlas Passive has been renamed to Towering Carapaces.
