New page

{{Patch notes header|date=2026-07-23|build=ffde92a28}}
'''Patch 2026-07-23''' - the Drift Network opens for business: two new dungeons, bigger fellowships, and shared Luminance. This is the first patch-notes page; it covers everything player-facing since 2026-07-20.

== New content ==
* '''[[The Iron Sill]]''' - an anchor grind dungeon behind a pinned door in [[The Drift Network]]: three floors of Heavy, Medium, and Light [[Game systems#Encounter weights|encounter weight]], a hardening boss, and per-hall kill tallies paid by [[Coriel the Anchor-Clerk]]. Built for characters of roughly level 80 and up.
* '''[[The Unanswered Rookery]]''' - the server's first open-air dungeon: a plateau in the Northern Manumet Plains where a displaced Siraluun flock nests on the spot its door closed behind it. [[Aun Tehaura the Drumspeaker]] pays a tally of fifteen. For characters of roughly level 20-25 and up.
* '''The Drift Network garrison''' - four Meridian soldiers now patrol the hall: two Sentinels, a Marksman, and a Warder. They talk, they watch, and they do not fight your battles.
* '''<code>/dn</code>''' - a new recall command that carries you to [[The Drift Network]] from anywhere, in the style of the Marketplace recall.

== Changes & tuning ==
* '''Fellowships hold twenty''' - the fellowship cap rises from nine to twenty. The group XP multiplier stops growing at nine members, so the extra seats are for playing together, not for out-earning smaller groups. See [[Game systems#Fellowships|Fellowships]].
* '''Luminance is shared like XP''' - a fellow's Luminance from kills now splits across the fellowship under the same rules as XP, including the group multiplier.
* '''Encounter weights''' - grind dungeons now declare Heavy, Medium, or Light halls: tougher-and-thinner against weaker-and-denser, tuned to earn at the same rate. See [[Game systems#Encounter weights|Encounter weights]].
* '''Prismatic Tapers''' now stack to 10,000 and weigh almost nothing.
* '''Augmentation gems come around sooner''' - the blank augmentation gem cooldown drops from 6 days to 20 hours, and the Luminance-bought blank gem timer from 14 days to just under 7.
* '''Kill XP banding''' - monster kill XP across the [[Unbidden Doors]] arc was brought onto the server-wide XP band, so awards step up consistently with monster strength.

== Fixes ==
* The Meridian's hall guards, briefly missing from [[The Drift Network]], are back at their posts.
* Arriving in the Drift Network no longer drops you into the fountain.
* Boss "wounded" phases now trigger exactly once as each health threshold is crossed, even when a boss is burned down quickly.
