Full RooPrisons → Ancients rebrand. Two new sub-server backends, the Tartarus Rift event, a 50-level Season Pass, the Path of the Ancients quest chain, and a complete Greek mythology art pass. The map counter resets with the rebrand — this is Ancients Map 1.
Calcite Caverns daily reset reliability fix.
A new Hunter leaderboard and chat token, gang chat relayed across all servers, Personal Vault auto-packing, Hephaestus fire wall fixes, and a batch of QoL and display fixes.
Hephaestus gets a top-to-bottom difficulty pass — harder melee, double-damage Smelter's Wrath and Fire Walls, and a nastier Core Overheat — plus a live next-rift countdown on the /rift menu clock and a Foresight Trim payout fix.
The Emberfall trim becomes a meteorite specialist, Trim Removers get easier to obtain from the Erebus Pit and high-tier Shades, a Calcite Caverns exploit is closed, and the /shop Decorations section gets a big build-friendly expansion.
Hephaestus drops more rewarding, a gang-cap rework with a 24h reshuffle window, exceptional orb re-pricing, and quality-of-life wins — booster duration stacking, energy auto-merge, the mod's PV terminal, and mining navigation pings.
Stele fixes that keep Gang Points safe, a raid-progress fix so condensed crude can no longer stall a raid, and a longer Death Sentence telegraph on Thanatos.
A cell-defense rebalance — tougher guards, mage damage buffs, and a patched raider i-frame exploit, plus diamond and netherite sword buffs, rewritten /enchants tooltips, an Orb of Moros lore fix, and /feed, /eat and the Oracle made easier to reach.
Raids stay alive through PvP standoffs and idle out slower, forges lock down mid-raid, plus a Rift Prestige double-count fix and bigger Erebus Pit drop rates.
Raids and cell defenses overhauled — Tyrant's Decree removed, Frost and Lightning Mage rebalanced, and disconnect protection added.
Tracker Lootbox challenge tracking fixed, mining energy balance tuned, and entangled pickaxe drop protection added.
Exceptional Orb success rate up to 75%, Last Stand cooldown fix, and targeted fixes for season pass, cell forges, Wormhole, rentals, Personal Vault, and meteor flares.
RNG Meter drop reveals now follow server-wide loot discovery — drops unlock as soon as anyone discovers them.
Boss RNG Meter with progressive odds and guaranteed-drop protection, Hunter Points boss shop, outpost HUD standing-in detection, and Silence/Last Stand cooldown tuning.
Boss concurrent-fight stability, combat logger drop rules in alignment zones, and a batch of cell, gang, chat, and LMS fixes.
Boss arena stability — party isolation, inventory protection on death, and stuck-boss cleanup.
Boss fight isolation, rift flight stability, and stele cleanup on cell abandon. Wormhole dust is scoped to the applying player, boosters auto-pause in Asphodel Meadows, and Proc Party chat spam is removed.
Enchant Eraser, Reroll, and Dust get custom item art — the Eraser scales with charge count. Perk Swap, Path Respec, and Stat Swap tokens now apply reliably. Caravans properly damage players, Last Stand procs on PvE hits, and tab-list flickering in Polis and Roads is fixed.
Thanatos's Lucky 4 orb and armor trims drop more often, /loot now shows chase items at the correct rarity, Momentum builds past level 6 instead of rolling back, new /cell info command, cleaner /gtop tooltips, and a pickaxe prestige menu color-code fix.
Forge reliability gets a double fix — reverted forges self-heal and reset cells stop leaking energy — and a boss-arena safety net keeps players from getting stranded after a kill. /gtop now agrees across every world, Wormhole enchant bursts go private, and the mod's PV terminal is view-only outside safe zones. Mining feels snappier: smoother block-break, less redstone flicker, and the per-block speed cap lifted for top pickaxes. Diamond and netherite gear costs are rebalanced, plus an offhand dupe fix, PV auto-combine, and stackable clue scrolls.
Thanatos gets longer Soul Tether stuns, knock-free tether ticks, and instant-purple runes, while the boss health bar finally clears the moment a boss dies. Higher-tier Shades and Wraiths hit harder and drop bigger essence stacks, the Warlord caravan closes in at full speed, fire enchants ignite hunt mobs, and a Rift escape route is sealed. /killaura returns, /pv opens for big vaults, /sell retires in favor of auto-sell, and modded clients gain a searchable loot browser.
Devour heals on kill against custom NPCs, P11 prestige cost flattens across pickaxe tiers, Erebus pit loot rebalances, AFK shop upgrades get cheaper with a new /afktop leaderboard, raid-protection windows gain a 24-hour delay, and the tab list stops leaking PvE-world locations.
Friday 11 AM PDT weekly cadence for Gang Top payouts and Season Pass challenge unlocks, with live countdowns in both GUIs. Quantum Entangler now refuses to level a higher-tier pickaxe with a lower-tier source. Duel offhand dupe (Fury/Spark/Excavator through /duel collect) fixed. Shatter tooltip spells out its 7.5% energy / no XP cut. /buffs gains a Tartarus Prestige (P11) row. Heroic meteor orphan blocks auto-clean on chunk load + /meteor cleanup admin sweep.
Weekly Gang Top Obol payouts (3,750 / 2,500 / 1,250 for top 3 gangs, 4 of 5 weeks per map). Thanatos & Hephaestus defeat announcements unified with Echidna/Lamia. Black Scroll ignores Echo Sigil boost when extracting. Powerball L4 proc reduced 4.0% → 2.5%. Lucky lore matches its per-item scope. Simple Voice Chat support. Coreheart Pickaxe Trim applies correctly.
Tartarus Rift cleanup — Wings of the Ancients now flies across every wave, Vulcan stops false-kicking inside the rift, T2/T3 rift caches drop their golden tickets, and the T3 cache swaps enchant rerolls for a Godly Randomization Scroll. Echidna broodlings rebalanced (1-shot, 20s cocoon, early-end window). Lamia stops rolling as a chicken jockey. Perfect Strike bypasses elemental defenses with halved proc chance. Erebus Pit drops Golden Ticket. AFK points survive cross-backend Season Pass claims and non-graceful restarts. Reboot auto-queue, vote credit fixes, reliable meteor spawns, readable caravan discovery names, level milestone broadcasts, mine warps unlock 5 levels earlier.
Tartarus Rift polish — queue announcements broadcast cluster-wide, 1.21.11 locator-bar disconnect crash patched, Rift Prestige now requires the full reachable tree, Wings of the Ancients flight no longer stripped, chain-ore cascade points add up across overlapping blasts, Detonator notable actually rolls. Prismatic Efficiency inherits the Efficiency 6 baseline. AFK Shop swaps White Scroll for Fortune's Dice, loot discovery hooks caravan/shade/wraith/oracle drops, tab list shows a mod-presence dot, Trim Remover returns the trim.
Forge fix (cluster-leader gate) + /celllogs forge activity, Tartarus Rift face-lift (Fortune's Dice 5% Rift, Tier III Cache godly scroll, shop pared to 3 caches), Season Pass Fragment Box keys, Weakness L6 50% live, /enchants menu detail, AH expired stacks, meteors 10 min, XP curve scaled back for 50+, levelcap schedule deduped, Helpers can warn/mute, cross-cluster moderation propagation.
Patch v1.0.7.
Personal Vault Affinities (Ascendant + PrisonsMod) with presets and /pvsort, alignment-zone dupe & respawn fixes, multi-pad boss arena GUI and chase-item rarity cut, shade/wraith damage bump, Lightning/Pummel -15%, Lamia's Veil cost halved, AFK Shop refill scales past the daily cap, /bans panel, Discord event channels.
Per-party boss portals + essence stacking fix, /rift join from sub-backends, Gang Top counts every roster member, enchant-proc kill attribution, themed /toggles GUI, rich chat name hover, /loot luck labels, /suggest in-game GUI.
Biggest patch since launch. Cross-cluster commands + chat from Polis/Roads, cells/gangs permission sweep + /g bench rename + AFK auto-bench, multi-pad boss parallelism, Season Pass weekly XP doubled with back-pay, Asphodel safe zone, /killaura removed, /suggest forum poster, PrisonsMod HUD additions.
Boss arena rework (concurrent same-type fights, 20-min cap, basalt-wall removal), Fund-tier reshuffle (Outposts ↓ II, Pit ↑ III), cross-cluster chat polish, and an enchant-reroll drop bump.
Fortune's Dice rebalance, cross-cluster gang sync, rift gate fix, cross-server transfer hardening, and a wave of QoL fixes.
Season Pass, Earthquake enchantment, Global Boosters, XP extract tax scaling, outpost buff rework, boss damage scaling, and QoL improvements.
