Ability base damage increased from 40 --> 60.
Protection enchantment increased from III --> IV.
Max Mana increased from 10 --> 25.
Developer Notes: We are giving the Dovahkiin Helmet some love to help bring it up to the power level we feel Tier III items should be at, and to help set it apart from True Aether Armor.
With new forge items on the horizon, expect additional balance changes soon!

Hotfix 3.4.1 - 5/11/2024

Fixed rare issue where a shiny would trigger twice when collected in speedrun dungeons.

Nether Essence crafting time reduced from 4 hours --> 1 hour.
Fixed an issue where triggering a mana surge would allow you to spam cast the Dovahkiin Helmet's shout ability with zero cooldown.

Fixed an issue with the server resource pack that was causing some fabric clients to crash.
Pack version updated to 1.11.168.

Added 4000 point bonus to run-outpost for getting a time below 2 minutes. This should bump you up to 5 stars.
Added 7000 point bonus to run-outpost for getting 90% or more of all shinies on the map. This should also bump you up to 5 stars.

Fixed some mobs' boss bars still showing decimal places in their remaining health.

Patch 3.4.5 - 5/13/2024

The new dungeon boost on run-outpost has ended!
Instead of increasing the cooldown like we usually do, we decided to keep the cooldown the same (1 hour) and reduce the loot instead.
New drop rates are as follows:

(Resource Loot Drop Amount)
Tier 1: 40 --> 20
Tier 2: 80 --> 40
Tier 3: 130 --> 60
Tier 4: 180 --> 90
Tier 5: 250 --> 120

Rare loot drop amount remains the same. (+1 per tier)
Reworked the rare drop table to make it more resource focused.
- Also slightly increased the chance of Aether Essence once again.

Thank you everyone for playing this new dungeon type so much! Expect more in the future!

Patch 3.4.6 - 5/13/2024

I have discovered that it is actually possible (with some difficulty) to achieve 5 stars on run-outpost without bonus points.
I decided to remove the previously added bonus points from Patch 3.4.4.
Why? I want 5 stars to feel like a special accomplishment and give that feeling of overcoming a great challenge.
To compensate for this, I buffed the lower loot tiers and massively buffed tier 5 loot.
New drop rates are as follows:

(Resource Loot Drop Amount)
Tier 1: 20 --> 30
Tier 2: 40 --> 60
Tier 3: 60 --> 100
Tier 4: 90 --> 150
Tier 5: 120 --> 400

(Treasure Loot Drop Amount)
Tier 1: 1 (Unchanged)
Tier 2: 2 (Unchanged)
Tier 3: 3 (Unchanged)
Tier 4: 4 (Unchanged)
Tier 5: 5 --> 7

Let me know how you feel about this change in #server-discussion or a suggestion thread! See loot tables here.

Patch 3.4.7 - 5/18/2024

Improved mana surge buff icon.

Item Changes

Dovahkiin Helmet
Increased shockwave cone from 50° to 90°
Added a short 0.7 second uninterruptible casting time to the ability.
Added missing "Fus" sound during casting to complete "Fus Ro Dah".
Developer Notes: Finally added the missing Power Word! To balance PvP, we also added a short casting time to telegraph your attack so players have a small window of opportunity to block the attack with a shield. We also increased the shockwave cone radius to better match the particles that are emitted when shouting.
Void Dragon Helmet
Void Negation no longer has a cost and is automatic.
Void Power now has a maximum duration of 1 hour.
No longer generates or stores Aspect.
Developer Notes: This is mostly just cleaning up the Void Negation passive in preparation for a future rework.
Buffs and reworks are planned for all Dragon Helmets!

Please remove and re-equip these items to trigger an item update for text/lore changes!

Patch 3.4.8 - 5/20/2024

Fixed an issue with the Outpost Boss loot table that caused a stone block to drop instead of the Boss Artifact in certain situations.
Fixing this required me to change the internal ID of all artifacts. If you have a Warden's Crown or other artifact, please ping me while in-game for a replacement as old ones are no longer functional.

Patch 3.4.9 - 6/1/2024

Increased the maximum chance for a rare mob to spawn from each mob portal in Outpost from 5% @ 1000% difficulty --> 10% @ 2000% difficulty.
Fixed Sky Dragon Helmet displaying incorrect cooldown for "Wind Shield" in item description.

Patch 3.5 - 6/2/2024
