二、更新和说明

1、挖掘系统

在新资料片40个Mission中任意一个激活Delving Stone，就可以增加Mission中怪物的难度。

获得一个Delving Gemstone（挖掘宝石），与Delving Stone对话并提供相应的宝石就可以开始。邪恶气息会散布在整个Mission副本里，增加Mission的整体难度，但同时也会在成功完成后奖励对应等级的宝箱，可以开出物品或代币，用以兑换相当于团本T3属性的护甲等物品。

每完成一个Mission，你都会获得一个更高难度的新Delving Gemstone。你可以自己选择冒险使用它，或将其兑换成较低难度的版本。
每天Delving次数上限10次。
选择一个Delving难度后，将锁定其他难度任务，直到前一个完成或失败。
Delving任务会在Mission完成前离开副本时自动失败。
尽管破碎宝石的物品说明上叙述它们已经破碎没有什么价值，你还是可以用它们兑换一个新的Delving宝石。
Delving带来的特效和技能随时间轮换。
Delving系统的怪物可能会拥有更大的激活半径，或在激怒时召唤附近的同伴。
T2及以上难度的Delving会带来环境黑暗。
所有的Delving都在队伍内与队友共用和同步。

2、对战

Doom of Caras Gelebren是一个新的防守类对战，向20-140级玩家开放，有一套新的事迹和独有奖励！

Doom of Caras Gelebren可以选择单人、双人、三人、六人或十二人模式。
完成对前置后，就可以直接在副本管理器面板激活Doom of Caras Gelebren对战，但剧情而言建议你先体验Caras Gelebren废墟Tarandir的相关内容后再玩这个对战副本。

3、角色创建

增加了一个选项给用户选择其新手教程，替换了原UI的跳过教程复选框——其与老版教程和新版Mossward教程一样成为了可选项。
角色列表顺序稍做调整，盗贼Burglar成为了大部分种族的默认职业，因为之前拳师Brawler这一付费职业由于其字母顺序成为了大部分种族的默认职业，这纯属偶然。
自动生成的壮斧矮人Stout-axe角色名称现在基本与自动生成的矮人Dwarf名称区分开了。
“Beorn”前缀和后缀不再适用于壮斧矮人Stout-axe和矮人Dwarf名字。
拳师Brawler将会在开始游戏时佩戴“Cracked Battle-Gauntlets（破损的拳套）”。
已购买Veteran Status（跳过新手教程）的壮斧矮人Stout-axe玩家不再会被种族前序任务卡住。

三、职业更新

移除了任务和事迹奖励的职业特性点数，现在只会随角色等级增加。你将从2级时开始获取特性点，到140级时仍然有98点，且不会再拥有比能使用的点数更多的特性点了。
随着获取职业特性点的方式改变，所有职业特性树将在U34更新后重置，请重新分配特性点并保存你的加点。
随时间造成的伤害（DoT）和治疗（HoT）效果将在技能提示框里以带小数点格式显示频率（每X秒），这修正了拳师每0.5秒造成伤害的技能Pummel的提示文本问题。

1、熊人Beorning

蓝特熊人可以在使用标枪作为主手武器时正常格挡了。
熊人所有伤害类技能都能正常支持双持武器了。
在使用双持武器和双手武器的情况下，所有技能及效果都更加接近了。
熊人技能Greater Bee Swarm将被传武天赋配件“Beorning DoT Pulses & Swarm Debuff Duration”正确影响。
一个错误的“blank（空白）”效果将不再在使用Bee Swarm时（除非装配了对应的Tracery）出现了。

2、拳手Brawler

Pummel的引导伤害之前没有受到Dexterous Strike和Finishing Attack配件加成，该问题已经修复。
Latent Light的光明伤害能正确收到特性奖励了。
修复了Gut Punch和Follow Me!的技能说明。
一些技能的攻击类型重新调整为远程，从而不再在勾选了设置时错误地触发辅助移动。这不会改变技能基础伤害和传奇物品配件的加成，但会改变结算伤害时的伤害类型和闪避判定计算。
修正了拳师技能Get Serious说明文本。
拳师特性栏中Well Fed现在描述“Incoming Healing from Cooked Food（食物的治疗效果）”而非“Cooked Food Bonus（食物奖励）”。
拳师特性栏中Hasten Powerful Techniques现在列出了正确的技能。
拳师Share Innate Strength类技能现在正确地提示其范围，并在说明文本中描述其作用于全团队友。
拳师技能One for All现在将在覆盖释放时正确刷新其持续时间。
One for All现在将在结算抗性加成时只计算小队内受到加成的队友数量，但其效果仍作用于团队内位于技能范围内的所有人。该改变将在技能说明里备注。
One for All现在正确地拥有15米判定范围。
One for All现在只会在技能栏里提及技能范围半径一次。
Greater Armour of the Erebor Custodian、Greater Armour of the Erebor Striker、Armour of the Hytbold Custodian和Armour of the Hytbold Striker将拥有正确的四件套效果。
Armour of the Erebor Fighter和Greater Armour of the Erebor Fighter现在拥有适应拳师的属性。
Pummel不再会激活时拥有瞬间伤害，但后续伤害会增强。大部分情况下这都会造成小幅DPS增加，这防止了pummel在初始伤害击杀目标时激活失败的问题。
Follow Me!不再会与其他职业的移动速度增益错误叠加。
拳师Hytbold套装现在拥有正确的图标和绑定状态。
拳师技能Weather Blows在技能栏里描述“Reduces all incoming damage to 35%（降低所有伤害到35%）”以避免歧义，技能本身无改变。
拳师的Throne of Dread Terror高阶套装现在拥有合适的套装效果。
1-49级智慧怪物被击杀时有几率掉落拳师的拳套。
Remmorchant团本兑换NPC – 增加了遗失的拳师套装页面，并在绿灰兑换处归类为重甲职业。同时也修复了兑换页面文字顺序排序的问题。
对战营地商人现在售卖拳师武器了。

3、盗贼Burglar

Hide in Plain Sight不再在Coup de Grace stealth隐身和共享隐身时可用。之前Hide in Plain Sight可以触发，但由于这些隐身本身的效果将失败并进入CD状态。
隐身状态被统一了，各种类型的隐身都能受到增加“Stealthed”或“from Stealth”效果的技能、天赋和物品奖励。
‘Sneak’和’Hide in Plain Sight’将会在正常的非战斗隐身状态下显示激活并无限持续，其效果不发生变化。
Coup de Grace、Cash Out和Clever Retort可以在进入战斗隐身“Combat Stealth”状态后使用。战斗隐身状态与普通隐身基本相同，但只有3秒持续时间，且不会在受到伤害时解除，它不会使NPC敌人丢失目标，但会受到战斗隐身移动速度加成，这将作为“Footpad”和“Leafwalker”特性的一部分。
Coup de Grace将在使用时让你进入战斗隐身状态，而不再标记你的敌人并要求你在接下来几秒内击杀才能触发，直接就可以进入战斗隐身状态。
Cash Out将在消耗一个blue/debilitating gamble时使你进入战斗隐身状态，消耗blue gamble仍会和现在一样眩晕你的目标，进入隐身是额外增加的效果。
Clever Retort将在消耗“Trick: Dust in the Eyes”时使你进入战斗隐身状态，类似于Cash Out，这是在以前技能效果基础上额外增加的效果。
Improved Feint Attack造成的“Feint”效果现在给你除了视觉效果外所有战斗隐身的增益效果。由于战斗隐身不再防止NPC敌人看到和锁定你，该技能在PVE情况下与战斗隐身的功能一致，但不会使你的对手们在PVP时因为你每次使用Improved Feint Attack就消失而抓狂。
隐身的基础移速惩罚被移除，所有类型的隐身状态下（不带增益）都将拥有正常的100%移动速度。
传奇物品配件Sneak Movement Speed效果略微降低，从最高38.5%降低到27.5%，但由于基础惩罚的益处最后将比改版前快10%-50%。
Leafwalker现在还将提供最多20%战斗隐身移动速度加成。
Footpad现在有4层，最高给予+5隐匿等级和+10%战斗隐身移动速度。
你只需要加3点Footpad就可以解锁Hidden Dagger。
一些技能的攻击类型重新调整为远程，从而不再在勾选了设置时错误地触发辅助移动。这不会改变技能基础伤害和传奇物品配件的加成，但会改变结算伤害时的伤害类型和闪避判定计算。
盗贼的Word of Mastery配件’Mischievous Glee Initial Healing’将正确显示其对Mischievous Glee技能的治疗增益。
盗贼技能、特性和传奇物品配件的暴击加成现在能够正确计算了。
暴击链技能伤害配件Critical Response Skill Damage现在对Blind Bet技能提供伤害加成。
配件Clever Retort Damage and Healing现在准确地提升Clever Retort和Self Adulation治疗量。
Updated the level-scaling of the heal value from Clever Retort when it consumes ‘Trick: Disable’.
Many Burglar skills are once again ‘Fast’.
Red Gamble DoTs and Gambler’s Advantage DoTs will overwrite themselves from the same burglar, but will stack between multiple burglars.
When you consume gambles, you can consume another burglar’s blue or green gamble, but only your own red gambles.
Cunning Attack Bleeds will now correctly apply to targets even when another Cunning Attack Bleed is about to expire.
Surprise Strike Positional Damage tracery now clearly states that its bonus applies regardless of whether or not you’re stealthed.
Coup de Grace now benefits from positional damage and its base damage has been increased slightly.
Purge Corruption now benefits from critical magnitude & positional bonuses.
AoE Burglar skills are now an AoE centered on your target, and will always hit your target.
The Burglar Mounted Combat skill “Burglar’s Treat” no longer requires a critical hit before use. The cooldown has been increased to 60 seconds.
The Heal over Time effect from the Burglar trait set bonus ‘Relish Battle’ now shows up with the proper icon when active.
Double-edged Strike is now earned at Level 2.
‘Reveal Weakness’ traits now each give an additional effect:
Reveal Weakness (blue) will give you +3% Mitigations.
Reveal Weakness (red) will give you +10% Melee Damage.
Reveal Weakness (yellow) will add -3% Physical Mitigation to your target.
While the Reveal Weakness debuff can only affect a single monster once, multiple burglars can now toggle Reveal Weakness on the same monster simultaneously, so they can each gain the benefits of the unique effects from Reveal Weakness traits.
‘Focused Strikes’ – This trait will turn Double-edged Strike and Flashing Blades into single target skills, dealing slightly more single-target damage at the cost of targets.
Purge Corruption is now a part of the critical response chain. It has a 5 second cooldown, and will be unlocked by using Double-edged Strike. Purge Corruption is also faster to use, and deals less damage than it did previously. This will allow burglars to dispel corruption effects much more quickly and effectively on a single target, but at a significant cost to your personal DPS.
Malicious Wound damage increased.
Find Footing is no longer an Immediate skill.

4、旗手Captain

Banner of Honour should now correctly reflect stat mods such as outgoing healing.
Note, there is a known issue where a pinned tooltip for Banner of Honour will *immediately* change to reflect changes to your stats. This is unusual for pinned tooltips, and may make it look like it isn’t changing in before/after gear comparisons, even though it is.
Advantageous Attack light damage effect now scales properly with weapon damage and is considerably more effective.

5、斗士Champion

The Champion essence “Essence of the Resolute” will now reset Fight On skill cooldown with AOE melee attack skills as well as single target melee skills.
When Horn of Champions applies a force taunt, it will now also copy threat, like most other tank taunt skills.
Bracing Attack was erroneously able to critically hit, causing it to occasionally heal for much more than intended. This has been fixed.
Added the Fight On Critical Chance Tracery for all rarities and levels to the Champion tracery profile.

6、盾卫者Guardian

Fixed tooltip for break ranks to indicate that the effect itself now has a cooldown, rather than Shield-Taunt.
Litany of Defiance will now properly prevent the building of fortification stacks when it is active as its tooltip stated.
Updated the icon for the Guardian Tenderize Crit Rating buff.
The tooltips for ‘Charge’ and ‘Brutal Charge’ now clearly state that the slow immunity effect only lasts for 10 seconds.

7、猎人Hunter

The Hunter’s trait “Archer’s Mark” now lists the correct debuff on target: “Incoming Damage Debuff” instead of “Critical Defense Debuff.”
Traceries will now affect Merciful shot even after the Swift Mercy Trait-Set Bonus is active.

8、贤者Lore-master

Fixed Inner Flame trait damage buff & description for accuracy.
Damage radius of improved Ring of Fire now matches its increased debuff and visual radius.
Fixed the Molten Flames debuff icon showing Distracting Flames icon.
Enfeeble now doubles Sign of Power: Command and Sign of Power: See All Ends skill percentages for the first 10 seconds.
‘Critical Coordination’ will now only be consumed by skills which heal or deal damage.
‘Wizard’s Fire’ has been split into two skills: Wizard’s Frost and Wizard’s Fire.
‘Wizard’s Frost’
A brand new Lore-master character will now begin with Wizard’s Frost instead of Wizard’s Fire.
Wizard’s Frost deals small damage and can consume a pet’s ‘Flanked’ effect for a small heal. This is essentially the effect that Wizard’s Fire had prior to this.
‘Wizard’s Fire’
Wizard’s Fire is now earned by specializing in the ‘Master of Nature’s Fury’ trait tree.
Wizard’s Fire now deals a small amount of damage over time in addition to its initial damage.
Wizard’s Fire can now consume a ‘Flanked’ effect to restore power and grant you a short buff to your damage over time effects.
‘Eagle-friend’ is now earned by specializing in the ‘Keeper of Animals’ trait tree.
The trait ‘Don’t You Touch Him!’ now has four ranks.

9、吟游诗人Minstrel

The Anthem of War tracery modifier ‘+% Anthem of War Damage (Physical)” now reads ‘+% Anthem of War Damage’ as the actual effect buffs both Physical and Tactical damage of the ability.
The Minstrel trait ‘Discordant Ballads’ was erroneously applying an additional 5% Tactical Damage buff at all times, which has been fixed. This has no effect on the trait’s intended effect, which causes ballad skills to apply the buff ‘War-Speech’ when used.
The Minstrel trait Emboldening Finish now has a clearer tooltip for its buff effect.
The armour set bonus ‘Unmatched Prowess’ from Remmorchant now correctly improves the Prowess Attack Speed buff, rather than worsening it.
The Minstrel trait “Raise Our Spirits” tooltip and “Raise The Spirits” skill tooltip (with “Raise Our Spirits” traited) have been changed to be more clear and accurate following recent Minstrel changes.
The skill ‘Call to Ioreth’ now properly displays as a ‘Buff’ skill type in its tooltip.
Updated the “Major Ballad – Resonance” skill tooltip to better state that anthems and codas are only unlocked by ballads while in combat.
Entering Resonance stance will now correctly toggle off Timeless Echoes of Battle and Echoes of Battle
Stance-skill inductions reduced significantly.
Base Anthem duration increased from 30 to 45 seconds.
Melody stance now increases Anthem durations by 15 seconds.
The ‘Still as Death’ channel will no longer be reduced by taking damage after initiating the skill.
The skill ‘Major Ballad – Resonance’ will no longer break allies out of stealth.
Players can now benefit from ‘Emboldening Finish’ and ‘Inspiring Finish’ traits at the same time. Previously, the first trait you put points into would prevent the other from working.
The deed ‘Light in the Dark’ will now correctly advance when using Minor Ballad: Dissonance.

10、符文师Rune-keeper

Changed description on the Rune-keeper capstone trait Our Fate Entwined to more accurately reflect abilities.

11、守望者Warden

The ‘Careful Step Duration and Movement Speed’ tracery title has been updated to reflect the actual effects of the traceries.
The Warden Armor of Dúngarthadir 4 Piece set bonus now provides the correct 2 additional DoT pulses.
The ‘Recklessness’ effect no longer transforms your gambit builder skills into their old “Reckless” variants.

Forward camps are depopulated and access to the Ettendeep is closed.
New emissaries from Angmar arrive in the Ettenmoors. The War-tyrant wants a word with all combatants sworn to Angmar. (This new introductory quest is part of the starter experience for the Monster Players, but available to all monster players.)
A new quest in monster play is available that is given by the war-tyrant. Visit him and follow the story to earn Clan Blessings from the newly arrived emissaries to the Ettenmoors. These blessings provide a semi-permanent enhancement to your monster character giving them a boost in stats no longer available in corruptions.
With the introduction of Blessings, stat values have changed for many monster player traits. Corruptions now give significantly reduced bonuses, while racial and class traits have been adjusted. Most traits now give smaller rating bonuses, though a few have increased.
Tier 1 through Tier 3 armour for players now provides 3 Audacity per piece. When worn in conjunction with Jewelry the total yield for baseline gear is now 26 Audacity. For Tier 3, players can achieve the 36 cap.
Orc Defiler – Boon skills will no longer break allies out of stealth.
Orc Defiler – Herb-tender and Curse-shouter stances are now autogranted to all defilers, and one of the two will always be active. You may only switch stances outside of combat.
Warg Stalker – Flayer skill damage lowered slightly (Claws, Raking Claws, Swipe, Eye Gash)
Warg Stalker – Shadow skill damage increased slightly (Stealthed Pounce, Eye Rake, Swipe, Shadow Fangs).

Many Sessionplay quests throughout the Epic Story have been made optional. When you arrive at one of these quest steps, you can choose to complete the Sessionplay as normal, or you can interact with a ‘Shortened Account’ book located nearby. This will advance the quest beyond the Sessionplay, and you can resume the Epic Story. The following formerly-mandatory quests have been given this treatment:
