Ataraxia Updates #59 - 1st August 2024

[Jaedmo 791]

 

Just a small-ish update! I'm going to entitle it Combat Achievements 2.0.

I love the idea of continuing to expand on Combat Achievements and Achievements in general!

While I know it may be annoying for all of you to keep having to regain your Completionist cape/s, I'm sure having new things to do every update make up for it!

 

[+] General Changes

- Archaeology temporary boosts now stack up to 12 hours
- Private instances now no longer warn you about starting a new instance with one already open if you are Grandmaster (as they are free, it doesn't matter)

- Reworked Crystal triskelion to a similar system to Crystal keys/chest, it is now action based and automated

- Combat Achievement rewards have been restructured.
- Combat Achievement rewards will now be granted upon completing 85% of the category's available combat achievements (rounding up)
- This means you will receive the benefits at:

• After: 14/16

- Medium:

• Before: 14/14
• After: 12/14

- This change has been made as with new content and new ideas coming into the game, there will definitely be combat achievements added in the future
- Making the achievements go off a % allows people to skip achievements for content they might not love
- Completionist cape and Completionist cape (t) still require the full category completion
- As for the INSANE rewards:

- I don't think we'll see many people with this one...
