##### May 5th, 2024
##### **FINALLY!!!**
We have managed to update the server to 1.20.4 after pulling my scales out repeatedly while dealing with plugin issues and having to fix a bunch of stuff due to plugins deciding to do full recodes.

### ⋘⋘⋘ Dragonforge Changes ⋙⋙⋙
Please move these items around in your inventory to trigger an item update!
##### **(NEW!) Eternal Wind**
- This item is basically an unbreakable Aether Blade.
- Great for mob grinders!
**Developer Comments**:
We received a discord suggestion a while back for some sort of forge item dedicated for use in mob grinders. Here it is!
---
##### **(NEW!) True Aether Armor**
- The second tier of Aether Armor.
- A must-have for higher difficulty dungeons, especially if you use a lot of magic weapons!
- Comes with a powerful set bonus: the ability to trigger a Mana Surge! Long cooldown, but can lead to some truly massive DPS spikes for magic users.
**Developer Comments**:
Highly recommended if you plan on attempting 300% difficulty or higher in our upcoming Ancient Digsite dungeon!
---
##### **(NEW!) Sky Dragon Helmet**
- The first craftable Dragon Helmet since the third cycle! (1.15)
- Grants you the ability to fly using our new custom flight/hover system! Great for builders.
- As with all dragon helmets, they are extremely difficult to make, but have extremely powerful Tier IV stats.
**Developer Comments**:
Finally, Dragon Helmets are making a comeback! Remember, once you forge one, you will unlock it forever in the Spirit Forge, so even though it is difficult to craft, you only have to make it once!
---
##### **Aether Shovel**
- Durability increased from 1024 --> 2048
**Developer Comments**:
This buff to the Aether Shovel will give it the same durability as the Aether Pickaxe.
---
##### **Aether Excavator**
- Durability increased from 4096 --> 8192
**Developer Comments**:
This buff to the Aether Excavator will give it the same durability as the Aether Claw.

#  New Mini Dungeon!!! 
We have released a new type of dungeon we are calling a "speedrun dungeon"!
The goal is to run to the end as fast as possible before the time runs out. Collect shiny things along the way to maintain your speed!
The faster you are (and the more shinies you collect), the higher your score! **More points = better loot.**
There's even a leaderboard you can see at `/warp forge` with the fastest times!
Note that this dungeon has **custom music**, so please play with your sound enabled! (Control the volume of the music using the "Boss Music" slider in your sound settings)
We have also added a practice version of this dungeon that gives no rewards, but also has no cooldown. To encourage competition, **practice runs count towards the leaderboard!**
## Dungeon Info
**Name:** Outpost Run
**Type:** Speedrun Dungeon
**Difficulty:** Medium (Steep learning curve)
**Time Limit:** 200 seconds
**Max Players:** 1
**Lives:** 1
**Cooldown:** 4 hours **1 hour!**
## Practice Dungeon:
`/dungeon play run-outpost-practice`
## Actual Dungeon:
`/dungeon play run-outpost`
For the first few days, this dungeon has a reduced cooldown.
Please report dungeon bugs via ticket or bug-reports.
- Fixed an issue that caused completed outpost speedruns to immediately end upon completion, skipping loot collection.
---
###  Cycle 8 - Patch 3.3.3 
- Renamed speedrun dungeons to use `-` dashes instead of `_` underscores.
- Added new pages to the outpost speedrun leaderboard that shows other stats like highest points, total attempts, etc.

---
###  Cycle 8 - Hotfix 3.3.4 
- Fixed a duplication bug with forge chestplates and leggings.
