PATCH: Time Dungeon Update

Time Dungeon Patch Notes​

​

Patch Rollout Notice​

Not all changes will occur immediately upon patch release. While many updates will take effect instantly, others (including certain quests, monsters, events, and object placements) will be introduced following the patch.

General Updates​

• A number of items found within Time are now interactable, with some activating effects upon use or automatically. Beware: some are cursed and carry harmful effects while held.
• New in-game books have been added to bookshelves throughout Time, containing lore, clues, and insights into new quest items, monsters, and mechanics.
• Certain quest items now mitigate the effects of dungeon hazards (e.g., Time Vortex, Time Rift, Miasma Clouds, Traps, Bleeding Sands) and monster abilities. This protection can extend to pets as well.
• New random events and hazards will appear within Time (post-patch rollout).
• Hundreds of new rewards with unique visuals and animations are now available, distributed across quests, monsters, and new mechanics.

Rune and Relic System Overhaul​

Decay Timers​

• All newly acquired Runes and Relics now have limited durations before they decay:
  • Level 1 Runes: 24 hours
  • Level 2 Runes: 18 hours
  • Level 3 Runes: 12 hours
  • Level 4 Runes: 6 hours
  • Relics and select consumables (Omni-Potions, Tyromancer Cheese, Timely Bank Notes): 4 hours
• Players can single-click any rune or relic to view its remaining time. Runes acquired after this patch are no longer stackable due to individual decay timers.

Legacy Items​

• Runes, Relics, Timely Bank Notes, Omni-Potions, and Tyromancer’s Cheeses obtained before this patch will be deleted.

Rune Refund Rates (Time Codex)​

• Level 1: 5% per Codex level
• Level 2: 4% per Codex level
• Level 3: 3% per Codex level
• Level 4: 2% per Codex level

Drop Rate Adjustments​

• Rune drop rates have been increased.
• Relic drop rates have been reduced and are now more commonly sourced via the Timely Wealth rune, specific monsters, or defined locations.
• Mystery boxes rune yields have been increased.
• Additional sources for Runes and Relics now include chests, containers, new specialty mobs, and quests.

Rune Changes​

• Mass Invisibility: In addition to its current effects, this rune now grants temporary immunity to Time Vortexes and Time Rifts while under its effect. While under this effect, players cannot be revealed by the golden-eye reveal monster ability (but may still get revealed through other abilities).
• Other: When a player is under the effect of Negate Time or Mass Invisibility, any pets or followers that they may have likewise gain these effects. Pets do not count towards the target maximum for these abilities.

Feedback​

There are a lot of changes to Time made with this patch. Although we tested things as much as we could, there are bound to be some bugs or issues that crop up from these changes. If you discover a bug or an extreme balance issue, please relate the feedback to me (Erik Gray) in Discord. There will likely be some adjustments and tweaks to monsters, items, and other elements for final balancing based on observations and feedback.

Thank you!
