Seren

The Crystalline Goddess has opened her portal within the gauntlet to allow players to face her.
Taking inspiration from the gauntlet, Seren offers several twists including no need to prep for the fight. That's right - just jump in and go!
This is a two part solo boss encounter, in which the arena, boss and your items shift as you enter phase 2.
Avoid the burning floor tiles, dodge the tornados, and perhaps you'll make it out alive.
Infoboxes have been added to assist in determining when to swap your prayers, or what combat style to use.
Upon defeat, Seren will drop a loot keys which are tradable, allowing you to either sell them or stack your drops!
Who knows, perhaps you'll be lucky and pull a Seren stone, used to create new crystal weaponry listed below (enticing common loot too!):
- Blade of Seren - Made by fusing a Seren Stone with a Corrupted Blade of Saeldor, offering improved stats alongside the Crystal Armor buff.
- Bow of Seren - Made by fusing a Seren Stone with a Corrupted Bow of Faerdhinen, offering improved stats and a passive 20% chance to fire an extra arrow.
- Staff of Merethiel - Made by fusing a Seren Stone with a full Polypore Staff, offering its own unique built in spell and gfx.
- We are looking to add crystal armor recolors as a milestone unlock for Seren KC. Example: 100 KC unlocks green, 200 unlocks purple etc.

Hespori Changes

Hespori has been overhauled after player feedback has been received.
The HP of the boss has been reduced significantly, and had several flower phases removed.
The damage from the special snare attack has been increased, hardcores beware.
The seed drops from hespori have been fixed, all effects should now be working correctly.
Iasor seed has been edited to provide a higher drop rate for purple rewards from ToB. Any member of the party who has the seed planted will apply this buff for the team, more listed below.
Corrected the Hazelmere Signet Ring, this will act as a best in slot luck ring, and give a passive bonus for a chance to skip clue steps.

The rate for purples has been improved as follows:
- Normal Mode 1/8 -> 1/7.
- Hard Mode 1/7 -> 1/6.
- If you have the Iasor seed active, the base will drop by one. For example if HM and Seeded: 1/6 -> 1/5!
The Scythe of Verzik has been overhauled. 2T scythe wasn't a proper way of handling a Scythe upgrade:
- The Scythe of Verzik now has a passive effect of a 25% chance to deal an extra hit (4 hit splat), alongside improved stats overall.
- A new special attack has been introduced for 50% energy, guaranteeing your next 5 scythe hits to always produce 4 hitsplats.
- The Scythe will now always attack NPCs with 3 or more hits, regardless of size.
- We are looking into creating a set effect for Blood Torva with the Scythe alongside other progression changes in an upcoming update. Check some of these out below that are coming this patch.

Nefarious equipment have had their consumption cost halved.
Reaper weapons are no longer nerfed outside of a reaper task. We are drafting ideas to expand these weapons and the reaper system.
