Patch History[]
Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)
- Trading Legendary Arcanes now requires you to be Mastery Rank 11.
- It’s important to note that only the player trading requires MR 11 and not the receiver.
- We needed to address an issue with exploitative Legendary Arcanes farming and ban-evasion account creation used to trade Legendary Arcanes. Other options we experimented with had the risk of innocent players getting caught in the crossfire of the ban-evasion subjects. When we took a look at Trading stats we found that a very small number of players below Mastery Rank 10 trade Legendary Arcanes, and therefore decided to go this route. This is purely a means of deterring the bad actors and ensuring legitimate trading for players.
- It’s important to note that only the player trading requires MR 11 and not the receiver.

- Added 2 additional ranks for a maximum of 6% chance to activate from a 4% chance to activate.
- Now specifies On Shield Damage (can no longer activate when receiving damage to health).
Update 16.0 (2015-03-19)
