Patch 2026-09-06

build 872191564

Patch 2026-09-06 - the facets round: four builds on one character, three uncapped Dreamweave augmentations sold in the Drift Network, and a long run of Market and combat fixes.

New content

• Player Facets - one character can now carry up to four separate builds and turn between them with /facet at the Marketplace. Level, lifetime experience, attribute ranks, vitals, augmentations and your spellbook are shared; trained and specialized skills, class abilities, your innate attribute arrangement and your equipped gear belong to the facet. Slots unlock at level 300, 400 and 500.
• Custom Dreamweave Augmentations - three brokers in the Drift Network's south wing sell three uncapped augmentations for Blank Augmentation Gems, at a price that climbs a Fibonacci curve: Fi's Lingering Casting (+10% spell duration), Bo's Quickened Grasp (+10% pick-up speed) and Nacci's Vault Expansion (+100 mule vault entries, shared across your account). /augs lists what you hold. Dispatcher Corwen Hale has retired to make room for them.
• The Barrel - the Market's account vault gains a Barrel action that permanently discards an item. A discarded item is recoverable by staff for 30 days and then destroyed for good; there is no player-side undo.
• Box of 50 Encapsulated Spirits - Sundries-Broker Rashid al-Munzir in the Marketplace now sells a box of fifty pet-summon spirits for 5 MMD. It refuses to open rather than destroy itself if your pack is full.
• /fi - makes nearby monsters and NPCs that have dropped out of your view reappear, without the heavier refresh /objsend does, so any visual effects on the creature survive. Creatures and NPCs only, once a minute.
• /summondamage on|off - prints a chat line each time your own summoned pet lands a hit. Off by default. It covers melee, missile, bolt spells, Harm and Drain Health, but not mana or stamina drains or damage over time.

Changes & tuning

• Market: filter by slot and by set. Listings can now be filtered by equipment slot and by armor set at market.acdreamweave.com. Listings made before this update are repaired automatically in the background, so they gain the new filters without being relisted.
• Market: weapon types. Weapon listings are now sorted into types - sword, axe, bow, staff, caster, two-handed, unarmed, ammunition and the rest.
• Market: give things away. A listing priced at 0 is a giveaway, free to whoever claims it first. Leaving the price blank is still refused, so a giveaway cannot happen by accident.
• Market: list a whole stack. A stack of identical vault items can be listed at any count up to the stack size in one listing, counting down as pieces sell, instead of one listing per piece.
• Allegiance experience pass-up now diminishes with vassal count. A patron with a single vassal still receives 25% of that vassal's experience. A patron at the eleven-vassal cap now receives one vassal's worth in total across all of them, rather than 25% from each. A grandpatron still receives a fifth of whatever the patron receives.
• World events warn earlier. An event now sends an ambient teaser a minute before it stages, on top of the existing thirty-second warning.
• Leech ejection explains itself. When leech prevention drops an inactive fellow, the fellowship now sees a message naming inactivity and how long it ran, instead of a line that read like a leader kick.

Fixes

• Mana Barrier and Sanguine Ward now absorb magic damage. Both used to trigger only on melee, missile and hazard damage, and every magical source went straight through. Mana Barrier still refunds after the hit lands, so the number you see is unchanged; Sanguine Ward reduces the damage before it lands, so the number you see is smaller. Thorns stays physical only.
• Proving Grounds (Speed) runs again. The Lost Coastal Archive had lost its monsters and doors to a content bug; the placements are back.
• A weapon's quality aura no longer goes dark for the rest of the session after a later craft or reroll. It relights on the next re-equip, zone or relog.
• Enhanced vital maximums granted by a class ability now update live instead of waiting for a relog.
• Monsters spawned as a world event's own adds are cleaned up when the event ends instead of being left standing.
• Market: buying a listed stack no longer delivered the whole stack for the price of one piece.
• Market listings show four things they were getting wrong: salvage bag workmanship was showing a summed value instead of the real one, proc spells on cloaks and aetheria were missing, wand and gem primary spells were missing, and caster weapons were missing their damage type.
• Market listings render item level pips and clothing-based icons correctly again.
