Added the Treasure Hunter's Codex, a new long-term progression system for treasure hunters.

The Codex tracks your treasure-hunting journey across maps, guardians, relic fragments, relic hunts, and rank rewards.

Players can receive their Codex from the Treasure Codex Keeper.

The Codex is:

• Blessed
• Character-bound
• Dyable
• Stored in your backpack
• Opened by double-clicking

Added a new Relic Hunt system connected to the Treasure Hunter's Codex.

Players can collect relic fragments and use them to create special relic maps.

Relic maps open timed encounters in secluded relic sites.

Known relic sites include:

• Firelight Cave
• Corrupt Tomb
• Shattered Castle

Relic Hunts include:

• Multiple guardian waves
• A final boss encounter
• Relic chest rewards
• Limited post-victory loot time
• Automatic cleanup after the encounter

Relic maps have limited attempts and are consumed on victory or failure.

Added new relic chest rewards:

• Lesser Relic Chest
• Relic Chest
• Ancient Relic Chest

Relic chests include guaranteed reward pools and may contain:

• Rare drops
• Bonus drops
• Artifact drops
• Gold
• Copper
• Supply bags
• Treasure map rolls
• Tiered magic items

Relic chests are reward containers only. The chest itself cannot be moved or used as storage.

Added a new cave area and the Eruption mini-game.

The Eruption is a beacon-defense encounter where waves of dragonkin and volcanic creatures assault an active beacon.

Players must defend the beacon from waves of creatures. If too many enemies reach the beacon, the event fails.

Added new Eruption-themed mobiles, including volcanic reptiles, drakes, dragons, and ancient dragonkin.

These creatures are used in the Eruption mini-game and scale by wave difficulty.

Added a new tamable creature:

Added 9 new houses to the house placement tool.

These new houses expand custom housing options and are available through the house placement system.

Added the Cauldron of Transmutation to the Alchemy tiered reward path.

The Cauldron allows material transmutation and is intended as a special progression reward.

Added new Consecration Serums.

These serums allow players to convert part of a weapon's physical damage into an elemental damage type.

Each serum converts 10% physical weapon damage into one elemental type.

Added the Master Bowyer Talisman.

Significantly increased the power of Runic Tools.

Updated the Recipe Book system.

Fixed an issue with Enhancement Deeds.

Lining Kits now only require one of the following Grandmaster skills:

• Blacksmithy
• Tailoring
• Tinkering

Added Filth region exclusions to monthly challenge systems.

This prevents excluded Filth-region activity from contributing to those monthly systems.

Adjusted Quicksilver scaling and duration.

Fixed Hellfire splash targeting and fire damage.

Reworked Hellfire ground burn so it now uses temporary effects instead of persistent fire items.

Fixed Freeze damage type so it properly uses cold damage.

Fixed Soul Maelstrom targeting, damage attribution, and effect handling.

Updated Necrotic Fog poison scaling by rune level.

Fixed Armor Pierce so it now uses normal damage handling instead of direct hit subtraction.

Added an optional login clamp so players above the new HitsMax cap are reduced to the correct value on login.

No serialization changes were required.

Updated the Dragon fireball effect ID.

Vendor rental contracts are now rent-free.

Saved old rental prices are ignored when existing contracts load.

Updated the Salvage Bag.

No serialization changes were required.

Fixed an issue where the Runic Atlas could prevent players from using it again after it had been opened.
