Ashen Empires October 21 Update

Patch 10.21.2022

A small patch to further refine the Halloween event for more fun! Remember this event is open through the end of October until All Saint’s Day on Nov 1st. Candy Corn can be saved for next year as well.

Another adjust in this patch worth noting is the change to the stats and spawns of a large chunk of mobs in the 50-100 range to give more spots to level for various weapon skills. Many creatures that previously did not have a weakness now have a variety of weaknesses to help spread leveling away from one location.

Halloween Event

  • Removed normal mobs (vampire bat, ghost) from Halloween dungeon
  • Bumped drops of candy corn on some event mobs – black cats in particular
  • Great Pumpkin is hate drop Encounter (not party drop rules)
  • Reworked Halloween dungeon to take care of a few cheesy exploits; removed columns and decorative pumpkin in boss room (could get stuck there, lame!)
  • Adjusted dungeon that passed close to pumpkin collector’s corner of dungeon entrance; players could stand there and collect candy passively somehow
  • Removed ability to summon followers inside the Halloween Dungeon
  • Adjusted Halloween encounters to match the new dungeon layout

Creatures

  • Adjust to greater Skele stats
