Quests and Adventure Areas
- Dread has been reduced in high tier Delvings.
- The Delving Malice “Sauron’s Defence I” no longer auto-stacks.
- Fixed an issue with the Delving Malice “Sauron’s Defence II” where it would reapply incorrectly when enemies had four effect tiers. “Sauron’s Defence II” is now a tiered effect with three tiers to be removed, and no longer spreads between enemies.
- Corrected an issue with the Delving Malice “Infested!”.
- The Delving Malices “Sauron’s Eye I-III” have had the amount of Dread they spread reduced from 2,3, and 5 to 1, 2, and 3.
- The flies in the Delving Malices “Clutch of Flies I and II” now form a cloud around the player rather than the enemy.
- Descriptions have been added to each Delving variant and level, making it easier to know which malices are active and what their effects are.
- Delving Strength tooltips now show the amount of modified morale and damage output.
- Malices at high levels of Delving variant four have been made less punishing. A bug was corrected that caused monster damage values to multiply rather than add. “Clutch of Flies II” on flavor two and “Deadly at Range” on flavor four have now swapped places.
- Missions that feature Delvings require players entering the Mission space to also have the corresponding wrapper quest from the Mission giver. If you do not have the corresponding wrapper quest you will be returned to your first saved milestone location upon entering the Mission instance.
- The Mission “Sigils and Signs” now properly spawns scouts after destroying the banners and slaying the Uruks.
- Black Powder Kegs in the mission “Among the Watch-towers” can now be used in all group sizes.
