v1.0.3

Boss arena rework (concurrent same-type fights, 20-min cap), Fund-tier reshuffle (Outposts ↓ II, Pit ↑ III), cross-cluster chat polish, and an enchant-reroll drop bump.

Bosses

Concurrent fights, shorter cap, no more arena-shape shenanigans.

Added(1)

  • Multiple boss fights of the same type can now run at the same time across the cluster. The old per-type lock — which made everyone else wait if a single Echidna fight was already in progress anywhere on the network — has been lifted. Each boss arena pad now tracks its own session, so two gangs can fight the same boss on separate pads simultaneously without one having to queue.

Updated(2)

  • Boss arena fights now hard-cap at 20 minutes (down from 30). The "you have N minutes" message at boss spawn reflects the new cap.
  • Hephaestus and Thanatos no longer build temporary basalt walls at low HP. The "arena lockdown" ability was removed so the four bosses (Echidna, Lamia, Hephaestus, Thanatos) behave consistently — no boss modifies the arena geometry mid-fight anymore.

Fund Tier Reshuffle

Outposts move down, Pit moves up.

Updated(2)

  • Outposts now unlock at Fund II instead of Fund III.
  • Pit now unlocks at Fund III instead of Fund II.

Gangs

Gang Top weekly payout rebalanced.

Updated(1)

  • Gang Top weekly rewards rebalanced: #1 15,000 Obols, #2 10,000 Obols, #3 5,000 Obols (down from 36,500 / 14,000 / 6,500).

Path of the Ancients

No more relog to unstick passive quest steps.

Fixed(1)

  • Quest "Join or Create a Gang" (and other auto-complete steps) now credit immediately after claiming the previous step's reward if the condition is already met — no more relog to unstick.

Enchants

Enchant Reroll drops bumped 3×.

Updated(1)

  • Enchant Rerolls now drop 3× more often from shards and contrabands across every rarity.

Cross-Server Chat & Tab

Chat tokens, death messages, and tab list now behave correctly across all three maps.

Fixed(3)

  • Fixed `[item]` (and `[bal]`, `[loc]`, `[brag]`, etc.) in chat showing as literal text — e.g. `[item] GUYS` — to players on a different backend than the sender. Tokens now resolve correctly for everyone, no matter which map they're on.
  • Fixed player death messages only showing on the dying player's backend — deaths on Polis or Roads (or Core) now broadcast cluster-wide so everyone sees them no matter which map they're on.
  • Fixed chat games leaking winning answers across worlds — when someone on another backend typed the correct answer, their chat message used to appear in your chat anyway. It no longer does.

Updated(1)

  • Tab list is now sorted by rank again: staff at top, then ranks high → low, alphabetical within each tier — across all three Tartarus maps.

Quality of Life

Tinker refund and pickaxe energy polish.

Updated(1)

  • Tinkering a pickaxe or piece of gear now refunds 100% of any energy stored on it in addition to the usual 25% craft-cost recovery.
