Outlands Patch December 21, 2024 is a major update for Outlands.
This patch added new sanctuary dungeon areas, aspect changes, PvM mechanic reworks, summoner reworks and reduced the swing speed and mana refund caps.
Originally this patch was "Phase 2" of a two phase patch and was supposed to contain only buffs for PvM players, however this idea was not feasible in practice, so the patch also contained large nerfs and reworks instead.
Major Updates
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| New Sanctuary Dungeon areas | The Urukton Bluff and Ratman Hovel regions will now be permanently treated as Sanctuary Dungeons and will act as stepping stones for players who have "graduated" from the New Player Dungeon |
| Aspect Changes | The Arcane, Eldritch, Artisan, Death, Discipline, Fire, Holy, Lightning and Frost aspects have all received changes. |
| PvM Mechanics Reworks | Many PvM Mechanics have been reworked, including the addition of an 'overcapping' mechanic for accuracy, charged spell chance, mana refund and swing speed. The effectiveness of many skills in PvM was changed. |
| Swing Speed Cap and Mana Refund Cap Reduced | The Focus skill no longer increases a player's swing speed cap or mana refund cap. |
| Summoner Rework | Summoner's have been completely reworked, including the Summoner's Tome and summoned creature stats and abilities. |
