Journal de Mise à Jour d'Ascension

[General] Added a vertical line of free passives for each Specialization that are learned at specific benchmark levels (10/15/20/30/40/50). Each specialization receives their own count of these passives, some having more than others. These were added to smooth out pacing while you level and attempt to remove some non-choice nodes from the tree, while also providing clarity on the acquisition of Conversion passives (ex: X% of Strength becomes Hit Rating).

[General] Issue fixed where you could downrank persistent ground AoEs and stack their damage. (This applies to things like Primalists Earthquake, Runemasters Earthen Winds, Venomancers Miasma, etc).

There is a picture with how many raiders commendation each boss is supposed to drop in the discord changelog channels

Raider's Commendations had not been updated since its original inception. Raider's Commendations are now also available from many other sources like World Bosses since the original implementation and with that in mind: prices of many items have been rebased with this in mind.

Raider's Commendations now provide a boost from conquering the last boss of the raid. Additionally, the total amount of commendations rewarded for each instance has been increased.

Raider's Commendations have been overhauled with how they are obtained.

Raid Cache loot has been tailored to every single class and specialization.

Raid Caches will have equippable gear in them always.

Last Boss of every raid now drops 2 caches and Raid Caches exclusively drop from the last boss now.

Raid Caches no longer have a 60% chance to only contain Runes of Ascension in them.

Raider's Commendations and Raider's Cache:

Helps address item inflation by reducing the volume of unwanted gear entering the economy.

Reduces inventory management burden from excessive low-quality loot

Eliminates the tedious process of opening dozens of Callboard Caches filled with vendor items.

Daily and weekly quest completions are reset upon reaching new Callboard Cache level unlocks

Quest completion progress resets when you unlock a new Callboard Cache tier, eliminating the need to wait for new content releases to turn in accumulated quests

Players with lower item levels will find it easier to earn Callboard Cache points, which still allows for it to be quicker for catch-up.

The point system helps undergeared players progress faster while preventing the Callboard from overshadowing other ways of gearing.

Callboard Cache quality scales with both current content and your item level - the better your gear, the better your cache rewards become

Callboard Cache contents are determined at the moment you obtain the cache, ensuring relevance to your current progression

No more receiving 2-4 pieces of unusable gear per Callboard Cache that immediately gets vendored

Loot is more likely to be favorable and appropriate for your current specialization

Callboard Caches now provide gear that is guaranteed to be equippable by your character

You'll receive fewer Callboard Caches overall, but each cache will contain significantly better and more relevant loot

You can now see your progress toward your next Callboard Cache, making the reward system feel more meaningful

Callboard quests now award points toward your next Callboard Cache instead of giving a cache for every single quest completion

Quest organization has been streamlined to make finding and tracking available quests easier
