This is the December Public Test Realm Patch notes. Please keep in mind that information here is subject to change between now and the December Monthly Release.
December End Game Update
Based on feedback on the High Water Mark system and our desire to have a compelling and diverse end game, we’ve made some major updates to the end game in this release. For more details on our vision and future changes coming, please see this dev corner article: [Dev Blog] End Game Update - #2 by Zin_Ramu
- Renamed High Water Mark to Expertise and now display Expertise values in the UI
- On the paper doll each slot will now display what the current Expertise level of that slot is
- An Average Expertise value is also shown above Average Gear Score on the paper doll
- Players will get a level up banner whenever they increase their Expertise
- Introduced Gypsum resource that can be acquired by performing a variety of end game activities each day
- Obsidian Gypsum – defeating level 60+ open world named bosses, typically found in Elite Landmark
- Sapphire Gypsum – defeating the final bosses of The Lazarus Instrumentality and Garden of Genesis
- Ruby Gypsum – found in Outpost Rush Caches
- Emerald Gypsum – found in Trade Skill Aptitude Reward Containers
- Citrine Gypsum – found in Arena Caches
- Amethyst Gypsum – found in Breach Caches
- Topaz Gypsum – found on hostile creatures Level 55+, but only after consuming a special Attunement Potion that can be crafted at a Tier 5 Camp. Craft the potion, drink it, and start defeating Level 55+ hostile creatures anywhere in the world to find them. This potion can only be crafted once per week!
- Introduced a Kiln station in all end game zones that allows players to craft Gypsum Orbs from the various types of Gypsum. Gypsum orbs can then be crafted into Gyspum Casts of any weapon, armor, or trinket type. Opening a Gypsum Cast will guarantee an expertise bump and reward players with a gear of the cast type.
- Tuned down the general chances of getting an Expertise bump to compensate for the guaranteed bumps that were added with Gypsum. Elite chest odds were reduced a little, but open world bosses were reduced a lot. Expedition Bosses remain the same.
- Adjusted the potential range of an Expertise increase based on the Expertise level. In general, the ranges stay slightly wider for further up the progression range, which translates into less overall “increase moments” required to reach the cap (so on average most people will get there with fewer bumps required).
- Increased the rewards for Expeditions to further incentivize doing them
- In addition to gypsum drops, each expedition boss will guarantee a random Expertise bump (note Arena bosses also guarantee a bump)
- Fixed all chests in Lazarus and Garden of Genesis so they have a chance to provide end game Expertise bumps
- Added Timeless Shards to Expeditions (see below for details)
- Introduced Timeless Shards - a new crafting ingredient that can be used to guarantee specific stats on weapons and armor
- A Timeless Shard is a Crafting Artifact that enables the player to craft an item with a specific Attribute Bonus on it while still being able to use a Craft Mod to guarantee a perk.
- Timeless Shards are guaranteed to drop from Expedition Bosses and have a chance to drop from Elite Chests in Expeditions and Elite POIs
- Adjusted 2 POIs to become end-game content
- The Malevolence Elite POI in Edengrove was upleveled to level 66 content and now has 6 Elite chests that can all provide end game Expertise bumps
- The Imperial Palace + North Dynasty Shrine Elite POIs in Ebonscale reach were upleveled to level 66 content and how have 8 Elite chests that can all provide end game Expertise bumps
- Increased the level of end game corrupted breaches to 66
- Made a number of adjustments in the end game difficulty to compensate for some accidental overtuning we did in the November patch. Our goal here is to find a middle ground between the too easy end game content we had pre-November and the overtuned HP sponges we had afterwards.
- Myrkgard Difficulty Adjustments - reduced the difficulty of Corrupted Acolytes, Cooks, Priests, Ogres, and Commanders
- Added an Elite Chest to Upper Harrow in Myrkgard, near the named Commander “Archos Imperator”
- Ebonscale Reach Adjustments - reduced the difficulty a variety of named AI in the open world: Alligators, Boars, Bears, and Withered Grunts
- Imperial Palace / North Palace Shrine Difficulty Adjustments - reduce the difficulty of the named Bear, Corrupted Tigers, Dynasty Spearmen, Dynasty Summoners, and Dynasty Warriors.
- Relocated Daisy the Dancing Bear and renamed and moved Morgolf.
- “Forbidden Ritual” POI has been discontinued and replaced with a Fast Travel option.
- Several Elite chests were moved into the final boss encounters of Imperial Palace and North Palace Shrine
- Scorpius Difficulty Adjustments - reduced the difficulty of the Elite Tendrils and Hellmouths, and the named corrupted Heavy
- Ambusti Superior / Inferior POIs - replaced 2 Large Supply Chests with Elite Chests
- Additional Corrupted Musketeers were added to both POIs
- Deadman’s Cove POI - reduced the difficulty of the named ghost
- Brightwood Isle POI - reduced the difficulty of the 2 named ghosts
- Periville POI - reduced the difficulty of the named alligator, ghost, and undead hunter
- Mangled Heights POI - reduced the difficulty of the named corrupted elk and corrupted acolytes
- Eridanus POI - reduced the difficulty of dryad shamans
- Caminus - moved an existing Elite chest into the boss encounter with Caminus Gate Lord
- Svikin’s Stand - reduced the difficulty of the two named acoloytes and the named workman
- Eternal Pool POI - reduced the difficulty of dryad shamans
- Also added a new platform, stairs, and walls so that Viridulon the Rootbound can navigate to players outside of combat area.
- Myrkgard Difficulty Adjustments - reduced the difficulty of Corrupted Acolytes, Cooks, Priests, Ogres, and Commanders
World Experience
World
Winter Convergence Holiday Event - 12/14/2021 through 1/11/2022
-
The holiday of Winter Convergence is upon Aeternum! Marked by the appearance of increased snowfall and Northern Lights in the sky (ala Aurora Borealis) this is a time of duality and dichotomy as the Yeti, the Winter Wanderer, comes to the land. While in the settlements gifts are exchanged to mark the passing of the year, outside the safety of the walls there rages a wintry war between the positive forces of Winter (slumber, perseverance) championed by the Winter Wanderer’s positive side and the negative forces of Winter (death, stagnation) championed by the Winter Wanderer’s negative side. The player takes on the cause of the Winter Wanderer to collect Winter Tokens from repeatable events across the island, able to turn them in to a Holiday Shop containing rare and cosmetic items. The Winter Wanderer’s positive aspect grows in power with each Token collected and turned in.
-
Ice Caves are appearing all over Aeternum because of the Winter Warrior’s desire for a Forever Winter. They are snowy and icy caves that the yeti use their powers to freeze up and make snow fall. The rest of Aeternum will look like these Ice Caves if the onslaught of the Warrior is not stopped! These caves will remain behind after the event as scars on the land, sources of wintry magic that refuse to melt even with the Warrior’s eventual defeat by the player.
-
Icy winds and the Winter Wanderer bring with them new armors, weapons, furnishings, skins, consumables, and a delightful “present gifting” emote; all themed off the wonderful Aeternum holiday of Winter Convergence!
- Winter Villages
- The Winter Wanderer has set up four villages to facilitate the joy and cheer of Winter Convergence! Visit these villages in Everfall, Monarch’s Bluffs, Weaver’s Fen, and Brightwood to meet the Winter Wanderer and carry out his holiday quests!
- Activities

Lost Present Recovery –* Those dastardly Frigid Folk are spreading their mischief and stealing present across Aeternum!
Located throughout the world are Lost Presents to be recovered and turned in for Winter Tokens at the Winter Village Holiday Huts.
-
Gleamite Collecting –* Bright, glittering, gleaming Gleamite meteors of a multitude of color fall from the nights sky during this time of the year; as destructive as they are beautiful!
Gleamite Showers are a new random, dynamic event that occurs at night throughout Aeternum. Keep your eyes and ears open as you search for locations where the showers are most prevalent. Exchange the harvested crystals for Winter tokens at the Winter Village Holiday Huts. Happy hunting!

Combat
Due to an issue in our initial PvP damage formula that caused lower gear to be more beneficial in damage mitigation, we have updated our formula. We look forward to hearing your feedback on this update.
- PVP damage formula update
- Adjusted the way armor mitigation was calculated to use enemies’ gear score value instead of your average gear score.
- To adjust for the difference in armor mitigation we increased damage low level players do to higher level players and reduced the damage that higher level players due to lower level players.
- Crit damage application
- Critical damage bonuses from masteries or perks are now applied additively instead of multiplicatively. On average, this will reduce the extra damage they provide by 3-5%.
- Buffer Windows
- A general consistency pass has been done across all weapons to adjust the buffering windows for dodges, abilities and basic attacks. The updated buffer windows starts on the first frame of the attack that would deal damage or on the first casting frame in the case of abilities that do not deal damage.

- Blood Soaked Arrow: Fixed an issue that caused this upgrade to increased damage with each hit instead of after each hit.
- Surprise Attack: Updated description of this passive ability to specify that its effect is per target.
- Improved all Aim Down Sights transitions between abilities and primary shot. This also addresses an issue that prevented Penetrating Shot and Poison Shot from being canceled after exiting the shots.

- Updated description to clarify the correct effective range of 15m.

Economy/Progression/Rewards
Trade Skill Aptitude
We want to continue rewarding the efforts you make to craft items for yourself, your friends, or to make a buck on the Trading Post, so we have introduced Trade Skill Aptitude!
- Upon reaching level 200 in a Trade Skill, the Leveling Circle will update to show 3 markers equidistant from each other on the circle.
- Earning Trade Skill XP will begin progressing you again, and when you reach one of these markers, you will be awarded with a container of useful items that are (mostly) trade skill relevant, such as Craft Mods, special ingredients, and even schematics and recipes!
- Each subsequent marker awards a more spectacular container with more rewards than the one before.
- Gaining enough XP to go all the way around the circle will increment the Aptitude Counter by 1. This counter will keep counting so you can keep track of how many times you’ve wrapped your progression around the top level.
- We have also introduced a new type of reward with this system: Equipment Patterns.
- Equipment Patterns are Crafting Artifacts that enable you to craft a guaranteed Gear Score 600 item that has a specific appearance.
- Patterns require a significant amount of powerful crafting resources to create, but guarantee a GS 600 item.
- Patterns still roll perks and players have the normal amount of control over their outcome with Craft Mods and Azoth.
- Equipment Patterns have a small chance to drop from Arcana, Weaponsmithing, Armoring, and Engineering Aptitude Reward Caches.
Refining
- Added refining recipes that let you refine 250 of a T5 raw ore, wood, fiber, or rawhide into 1 legendary material. For instance, you can now convert 250 Orichalcum Ore into 1 Tolvium.
- Orichalcum Ingots can now be crafted with Platinum as well as Starmetal.
Rewards
- There are a number of Knights in the game that have valuable named items for players around level 20-25. Seek them out and take their treasures from them!
- Added Tier 5 Amulet, Ring, and Earring drops that randomly roll all stats and gear score to all Level 60+ content. Previously, there were only named trinkets dropping at this tier, so this should accelerate Trinket Expertise, as well.
- The Gash Named Ring previously had the incorrect gem slotted into it (a weapon gem), it now correctly has an armor gem in it.
- Faction shields no longer have a damage perk on them (Enchanted). Round shields now have Refreshing Ward, Kite Shields have Keenly Fortified, and Tower Shields now have Hated.
- The “Moonless Night” void gauntlet was renamed to “Wine Dark Night”
- The Primordial weapon set was previously missing a Tower Shield and Ice gauntlet. These have been added and drop from the same activities as other Primordial weapons.
- Boots of Channeled Energy previously had an incorrect perk (Siphoning). This perk is only available on weapons and has been swapped out for Afflicted.
- The Unhallowed Soul of Myrkgard Named AI erroneously did not have any have any drops. It now drops 3 named items, a spear, a life staff, and an amulet.
- More feminine armor appearances have been added to the game as world drops.
Fishing
- Madtom fish now breaks down into Madtom Toxins which can be used in alchemy (also a chance of fish oil on breakdown)
- A number of fishing armor items are now eligible to be bought/sold on the trading post. These are all items that a player could potentially not get during fishing quests as the reward boxes sometimes roll 1 piece out of 2 or 3 at random. This fix ensures that all players have access to all pieces of armor to complete every set, if they wish.
Notable Bug Fixes
The token and coin cost of the Tier 2 Faction Health and Mana Potions for Syndicate now match the other factions: 50 & 30 tokens respectively instead of 100.* War previously did not drop a War Void Gauntlet. It has been added in as a possible reward for that activity.
- Fixed an issue that was causing Void Gauntlets to not naturally roll their ability-specific bonuses when dropped and crafted.
- Fixed an issue that was causing chests in Lazarus Instrumentality and Garden of Genesis to not respect the Gear Score value of the Expedition
- Fixed an issue that was causing the Outpost Rush End Game Overview to display 0 for all Assists.
- Fixed a display issue with Outpost Rush compass icons that could cause them to disappear, which should also address some other compass-related issues.
- Fixed an issue causing Trading Post purchase taxes to go to the settlement at which an item was listed for sale instead of the settlement where it was purchased.
- Fixed an issue that was causing the Nothingness Void Gauntlet to require Eternal Ice instead of an Empty Heart to be crafted.
- Fixed an issue preventing forms of tallow from being used as a crafting mod when crafting items. (The relevant perks are: Accuracy, Mortal Refreshment, and Refreshing Toast)
UX, UI, & Social

- Only show the message stating that you can not damage other players when not PvP flagged once. These messages got annoying doing PvE content with other faction members
- Added audio to a bunch of UI actions to help provide feedback the action was successful - repairing gear, entering housing sub menus, changing sub menus in the company section, expanding/collapsing lists in crafting stations, from filter boxes, and when changing chat feeds
- Fixed an issue that was causing pings within some expeditions to display under ground
- Added ambient audio to various crafting and refining stations
- Better support for multi-monitor setups
- We now provide information on that maximum number of unique items a storage shed can hold
- Fixed a bug where when rapidly salavaging items sometimes the game incorrectly salavged a random item of the type your cursor was over
