1.63 - Looks and Stasis February 27, 2019
Back to listEvolution of (Dungeon) Stasis Levels
In update 1.63, we decided to improve how the dungeon Stasis levels operate to encourage players to use this difficulty management feature and give players more possibilities.
-
The maximum Stasis level in normal mode has been increased from 20 to 50. The bonuses provided by dungeons' Stasis level are different in normal mode and competitive mode. At Stasis level 50:
- Normal: 200% XP and Loot
- Competitive: 600% XP and Loot
-
The Stasis level criteria to unlock Epic and Relic equipment in dungeons have been changed:
- Common (white): 1
- Rare (green): 1
- Mythical (orange): 1
- Legendary (yellow): 21
- Epic (pink): 1 → 21
- Relic (purple): 11 → 21
- You can now choose any Stasis level in the dungeon difficulty selection interface without having to have also completed the dungeon at a high enough Stasis level.
- The rarity of items unlocked is now displayed in the dungeon difficulty selection interface.
- The reward interface for competitive dungeons has been improved: New explanatory tooltips have been added and the list of rewards is now displayed by default.
