IRONMACE’s Comments

15 May

“This update makes several changes to help put a bit more gold into the economy. This includes lowering the prices of healing items, reducing the Expressman fee, and improving the drop rates for the Normal-Rare, HR-Epic, and HR-Unlimited dungeons. We’ve also made slight class balance changes to the skills and perks that were overtuned from the previous update. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!”
