Full list is of all the changes can be found in the newspost/patch notes.

What players wanted:

• More rewards

Challenges

• Challenge Rebalance:
  • Silver: World 25 -> 50
  • Gold: World 40-50 -> 80-100+
• Challenge Reset:
  • It is now a D&D can only be repeated by using a weekly D&D reset token.
  • Reseting them resets all 3 challenges. (A warning message will appear notifying you of this).

New Objectives

  • 'Kill x% of enemies' - Kill 75% -> 65-80%
  • 'Deal X Damage' - Deal a certain amount of damage in a single world to proceed.
  • 'Repair the Portal' - Enemies have a chance to drop a portal repair kit. Find 3 pieces and repair the portal.
  • 'Summon and Kill the Boss' - Kill enough enemies to summon a boss, then defeat it to proceed.
• Bosses will appear once every 5th world, and the bosses that have been added are:
  • God Wars Dungeon 1 Generals (not including Nex)
  • Chaos Elemental
  • Dagannoth Kings
  • Barrows Brothers

Objective Notes

• Bosses retain their normal mechanics except:
  • Kree'arranged & Dagannots can be attacked with any combat style.
  • Bosses scale along their world and have stats higher than the mobs on that world.
  • Kills don't count towards KC or Marks of War.
• Hydra NPCs now counts towards the objective. As a result the mutator has been changed to be neutral.
• Average time spent completing objectives should be the same as before.
• The ability to skip worlds based on your performance is now calculated when completing an objective.

• Minimap icons have been added to various items of interest within Shattered Worlds.

Other

Archaeology

General

• Drop rates will be provided on April 30th.
• Staff pieces are not intended to drop in order since they are tradeable.
  • Ironman accounts can deal with it.
• The honed perk only affects the material rate because it affects your focus.

Discussed/Looked into

• Noted down an issue with placing dummies in AOD.
• Allow players to use Bladed dive/Surge in Thalmund's forge in Warforge!
• Using augmented mattocks to create a mattock of T&S.
• Chronotes to your currency pouch - Don't expect it till the week after at the earliest.
• Ripper demon - We're making sure that the changes we make are the right changes. Looking to get it out as soon as possible.

No plans to:

• Add a 5th hand of glory. (Maybe in the future)
• Transfer materials from a tetracompass to the material bank. (If we did, we'd add a toggle).
• Add the Autoscreener to your toolbelt.
• Increase the duration of material caches or to add individual ones.

Today's Changes

There's a process to getting out fixes. We need to make it, then test it, then put into the build, so not everything came out this week that we've worked on.

• Fixed an issue where the Inquisitor Staff damage boost was not applying to some attacks.
• The Site Map at the Archaeology Guild now informs the players about the site keyboard shortcuts.
• Changed 'restoration station' to 'archaeologist's workbench; in the make-x menu.
• The Berserker's Fury relic power no longer takes priority over the Dharok's outfit set effect.

Upcoming Changes

Most of these will be in next week's update but it's not a guarantee.

• Add an activate/deactivate option on autoscreener.
• Allow players to put a Pontifex signet ring & Legatus pendant to their toolbelt.
• Allowing the material storage being viewable from the journal. (Might post a screenshot of it later).
• Material Cache changes:
  • Dig site caches: 2 nodes at each location.
  • Non-Dig site caches: 3-4 nodes at each location.
• Configure option to the material storage, and gave you the option to flip the options.
• Allow Imp soul perk to send resources to the material bank/metal bank.
  • We will be looking at items that send things to banks in general (not as a priority).
• Tetracompass changes: Inspect it to see what's needed to restore it.
• Settings interface options:
  • Toggle duplicate Imcando pieces
  • Displaying the hitsplat for precision.
  • Museum warning toggle.
• Enabling the level 20 augmented item perk effects for Fortune.
• Swap Hobgoblin mansticker & Dorgeshuun spear so they are in the correct collection.
• Allowing the Everlight music to be made accessible before level 105 Archaeology.
  • No grace on it since we'd be adding more music tracks before the grace would be up.
• Increase the bad-luck mitigation tracking on excavations from 3 to 5.
