Vaults of Plouton Map V

• The Vaults of Plouton are this map's season mechanic. They are part of mining and come to you while you mine.
• Keep mining and a pair of bronze doors can open in the ore wall beside you. They stay open for 60 seconds. Step through to enter a vault of your own.
• Everyone gets their first door at level 20. After that they keep coming as long as you are mining.
• A vault is solo and has no monsters and no PvP. You have 5 minutes inside.
• A vault runs 3 chambers deep, and the last is the Heart.
• Every chamber is sealed. A seal is a short puzzle, a test of timing or a parkour run. There are 17 seal rooms, so two vaults in a row are rarely the same.
• Solve the seal and the chamber's reliquary opens. Take it and leave, or take the stairs down for a better one.
• Going deeper can set off a cave-in: the ceiling falls in behind you as you run for the stairs. You keep every reliquary you opened, whether you escape or not.
• Reliquaries hold enchant orbs, crafting items and loot that exists nowhere else in the game.
• New: the Great Vault. Every seal solved and every chamber cleared by anyone on the server turns its 4 rings. When all four lock, it opens for everyone, about once a day at launch. /greatvault shows how close it is.
• The Great Vault opens in two stages. First everyone digs into one shared mass of gold ore for buried reliquaries, following a chime only you can hear. Whoever breaks a reliquary keeps it.
• Then the way to Plouton's Treasury opens and everyone races the course to it. The first player in takes Plouton's prize, and everyone who finishes is paid.
• The Great Vault has no PvP and no monsters, and any pickaxe at any level can take part. The ore pays and procs like ore in the mines.
• Everyone who digs gets a share when it closes. A share you leave behind waits for you at spawn.
• The Great Vault has its own loot, separate from the small vaults.
• New quest line The Vaults of Plouton, with the Heir of Plouton title at the end.
• Excavation is removed, with the Excavation Brush and its Efficiency enchant. The vaults take its place.
• You keep the level you Ascended at for vault loot and Expedition area levels.

• New: Expeditions. /expedition opens the Expedition table. Pick a map, add modifiers and go in. Each map is its own biome with packs of Normal, Magic and Rare monsters and an end boss.
• Expeditions are solo, and one death ends the run.
• Modifiers make a map harder and raise its item quantity.
• The Forgotten Polis is gone. The Expedition hub is the new Lantern Harbour, where Theron the Cartographer keeps his chart table.
• Open-world shades and wraiths are gone. Challenges, boards and clue tasks that asked for shade or wraith kills count Expedition monsters.
• The Sacred Way is retired, with its shrine, its vault and the Warden of the Ash. Fissures, Ichor and Avatars are in Expeditions now.
• Pit Breaches can appear in Expeditions at area level 60 and up. Walk up to one and Erebus monsters climb out in waves against a timer, and every kill adds time.
• Fissures can appear in Expeditions at area level 100 and up. Follow the crack, fight the packs that climb out and kill the champion at the maw. Fissure kills pay Ichor on top of the normal Expedition loot.
• New: Map Votives. Expeditions drop 5 kinds of votive. Put one on a map at the Expedition table to add a Pit Breach, a fissure or more monsters. One votive goes on a map at a time, and votives trade like any item.
• New: Sacred Maps. The Ichor Broker in the Lantern Harbour (or /sacredmaps) sells a Lamia, Echidna, Thanatos or Hephaestus Sacred Map for 100 Ichor. It opens at area level 103 whatever your own level and holds 3 fissures of that bloodline.
• Close every fissure on a Sacred Map to fight the bloodline's Avatar in its own lair. You get one chance: die or let the fight end and the map fails.
• Avatars pay uber fragments.
• Expedition end bosses pay base boss keys. Higher area levels pay more.
• 37 new Expedition trims in three rarities: 18 Common, 13 Rare and 6 Mythic.
• Mythic trim finds are announced to the whole server.
• Culling Strike is a keyword now: a Hit with Culling Strike kills an enemy below 10% of its Life, bosses included. It never works on players.
• Erebus Tears are retired this season, with every tear item. Tears will come back in a later season.
• /shadetop is now /expeditiontop.

• New: the Mining Tree. Every mining level up to 100 gives a point to spend on a 486-node tree with /miningtree. Ascending never takes points away.
• Pickaxe stat prestiges are gone. The max pickaxe prestige is P3, or P4 with a Tartarus Sigil. Each perk stage costs the same and needs the same blocks as before.
• Refunding a node or resetting the whole tree is free.
• Auto-spend: choose Energy, XP, Money or Mixed with /miningtree auto and your points spend themselves every time you level. Picking a node yourself turns it off.
• Mining classes: /miningtree ascendancy picks one of six classes: Kobaloi, Horologist, Telchine, Prospector, Reservoir or Overdrive.
• Armour mining enchants are gone. Touch of Plutus, Aftershock, Oracle's Eye, Goldvein, Charon's Cut, Stoneblood, Hermes' Pace, Surveyor, Lodestone and Apprentice's Vigor no longer roll or apply.
• With AncientsMod, the mining tree opens as one full screen with an Auto button.

• Powerball procs half as often, but the blocks it breaks now pay 100% of their XP, energy and shards (was 50%).
• Earthquake procs half as often, but the blocks it breaks now pay 100% of their XP, energy and shards (was 50%).
• Earthquake always breaks a column 5 blocks deep (was 4 to 8 by level). Its level only raises how often it procs.
• Shatter blocks pay ore only: no energy and no XP.
• Residual Knowledge gives Shattered blocks a share of their XP and energy on every Shatter your pickaxe sets off, Cluster Bomb and Shatterstorm included.
• Residual Knowledge rolls 1.5% to 3% (was 3% to 6%).
• Overcharge fires 7 to 13 times per 1,000 blocks (was 10 to 19).
• Twinned rolls 15% to 25% (was 20% to 35%).
• Second Chance is reworked: when a core mining enchant procs, a 3% to 5% chance that all your other core mining enchants fire together on the next ore.
• Core Breach erupts every 10th Shatter (was every 15th).
• Barrage fires every 80 blocks (was every 120).
• Tartarus perks are reworked. Judgement Storm leads in XP, Beam Drill in Energy and Fissure in money. Orbital Strike pays mostly ore.
• Midas Window is removed.
• The RNG Meter is removed, with /rngmeter.
• Mining bots are removed. The Daedalus Construct and its fuel are gone.
• Meteorite Showers come every 7.5 minutes (was 15).
• /prestige now opens pickaxe prestige. Ascension is /ascend.
• Event Horizon no longer adds mining XP. Each level adds 5% more Ancient Energy gain.
• Momentum fills half as fast per block, only drains when you stop mining, and caps at 45 minutes.
• Fracture adds a flat 3.5% progress per level to every adjacent ore for each block you mine. It no longer builds faster on slow blocks.
• Heart of Gaia is nerfed: Resonance caps at 30% increased (was 50%), and Ascension is shorter, weaker and rarer.
• Shards are half as common while mining.
• Contraband always pays its rarity's Ancient Energy and money note, and can add one item from a mining pool. G-Kit Fractured Flares no longer come from contraband.
• Shards and contraband no longer show drop chances.
• 3 new Tartarus Rift trims and 3 new Meteor Shower trims replace Riftborn, Atlas and Emberfall.
• Trim Meteorite Preservation now adds to your rank's Meteorite Preservation.
• Mining Rush and Mining Comp lines go only to players who can take part, and results only to players who did.
• A Mining Comp top 3 winner at the level cap gets an Energy booster in place of the XP booster.

• New: Siege. Claim a base in the cell worlds, build posts on its pads and garrison them. /base opens it.
• Every building in a base is held by its own guards, and the Vault by a Vault Keeper. Kill what holds a building and it falls.
• A raid is a PvE fight. Your gear, jewels, ailments and Hunter tree all count. Raid kills give no Hunter XP and no drops.
• Three stars: the Vault Keeper, half the base and the whole base. The raid runs until the clock ends: 95 seconds at Low up to 5 minutes at VIP.
• Between raids a base's guards stand at their posts, so you can see what holds a base before you attack it.
• Mining pays Drachma and killing monsters pays Tribute, straight into your balance. You need a base to earn either.
• Drachma builds your posts and Vault. Tribute trains your guards.
• Every guard costs money to keep. Upkeep is paid every hour from your base treasury (/base treasury), online or offline. If the treasury runs dry your guards leave their posts. Deposits can't be taken back.
• /exchange swaps Drachma and Tribute either way at 3 for 1.
• Bases open early: Low at level 30, Medium at 70, High at 100, Maximum Security at A2 102 and VIP at A3 103. The first post in a Low base is free.
• Plots are cheaper: $100k at Low, $3M at Medium and $30M at High (were $1M, $150M and $2B).
• The old cells are gone: ore generators, crude ore, forges, Gen Breakers, teleporter pads, spectator rooms and gang raids. /raid, /gens, /ctop, /cellwarp and /cellvisit are removed.
• Armour no longer goes inert in the cell worlds. Any armour works in any base.
• A new base can't be attacked for 24 hours, unless you attack first.
• You get 3 attacks a day and a base can be attacked 3 times a day. Both reset at 11:00 AM PT.
• You can't choose who you attack. Find a Raid gives you one base near your trophies, and the same base every time until you attack it or the day resets. Once you click Attack, leaving, dying or logging off still uses the attack.
• A raid that takes the Vault takes 20% of the defender's treasury, Drachma and Tribute above what their Vault level keeps safe.
• A held defence pays trophies.
• Trophies start at 400. Leagues are Silver at 800, Gold at 1,400 and Ancient at 2,400.
• Bases are private. Only the owner, members with cell access, the owner's gang and the raider can go in.
• Traps go anywhere a raider can walk, and raiders can't see them until they spring.
• Storehouses hold far more: 6 double chests at Low, 9 at Medium, 12 at High, 15 at Maximum Security and 18 at VIP.
• Every cell tier has a warp plaza with a board of its top bases.

• Gang points are gone. Gang top is the sum of your best 5 members' Siege trophies, and /gangpoints is removed.
• End-of-map Reputation goes to the top 10 gangs on the Siege board.
• Gang upgrades cost money only. There are no gang coffers: whoever buys a level pays for it.
• New gang upgrades: Drachma Gained and Tribute Gained, up to 10% increased each.
• New gang upgrades: Expedition Item Quantity, Boss Keys Found and Hunter XP Gained, up to 20% increased each.
• The Gen Speed, Outpost Cap Speed and Wormhole Success gang upgrades are removed.
• Two new outpost buffs: Hoard and Spoils, for Drachma and Tribute. Seven buff sets now rotate across the five outposts.
• The Scholar outpost's Discovery minor now gives 10% increased chance to find jewels while mining.
• A gang vault can be open on one server at a time.
• /recruit opens the gang recruit board.

• Boss essence is gone. Boss keys come from Expedition end bosses.
• Every boss and Uber has a new loot table, with its own trims and uniques. Each base boss kill gives one Etna Fragment, one item from the boss's pool and bonus drops that roll on their own.
• Enchant Dust no longer drops from bosses.
• Summoning an Uber takes 4 of its fragments. Carry them to its altar and combine them there.
• The four Ubers have names now: The Mirror Queen (Lamia), The Brood Mother (Echidna), The Tollkeeper (Thanatos) and The Unquenched (Hephaestus).
• Ubers no longer drop Reforging Stones, Truing Stones, mining orbs or the Fracture VI, Warp Miner VI, Overload IV and Enlighten IV orbs.
• Bosses no longer drop mining orbs.
• Ensnare no longer drops from Uber Echidna.
• Bosses, Ubers and Avatars are retuned for the gear players bring to each.
• Lamia, Echidna, Thanatos and Hephaestus now speak. Each has their own voice and calls out their moves, and what they say shows in chat.
• Boss move names no longer flash in the middle of your screen. The warning on the boss bar still shows the move.
• Boss Resilience: a boss's speed can never be lowered below 70%. Freezes on a boss become a slow.
• Boss moves that kill outright can't be evaded, blocked or dodged. Their warning says Lethal.
• Practice runs: if you die to a boss or an Uber, its portal reopens for 60 seconds for a free retry. A practice run costs no key and drops nothing.
• Season pass, clue scroll and weekly board boss damage now counts all the damage you deal, procs and damage over time included, once the boss dies.
• The Talos unlock offer lists the boss kills Talos needs before you pay.

• New: Typhon, the serpent titan sealed under Etna, is the pinnacle boss.
• Each of the four bosses drops its own Etna Fragment. Bring one of each to his caldera to break the seal.
• Typhon is a solo fight in his own arena, with his own animated body and voice.
• You keep your inventory if you die in the caldera.
• Typhon has 4 trims, a bow trail and a unique jewel of his own.
• New quest line: Fire Under Etna.

• Armour is now a stat. Each armour piece shows how much Armour it gives, and /buffs shows your total and how much less damage you take from it.
• Every piece counts the same, so a missing or lower-tier piece costs far less defence than before. A full set of one tier protects exactly as much as it did.
• Nothing ignores Armour unless its description says so. Bows no longer pierce Armour.
• Bosses and monsters no longer pierce Armour. Their hits are stronger to make up for it, so better Armour protects you more than before and weaker Armour less.
• Titan Blood now gives Armour instead of its own damage reduction.
• Tank now gives Armour instead of its own damage reduction.
• Armoured now gives Armour instead of its own damage reduction.
• Blood Magic is now Stoneskin and gives Armour all the time instead of proccing.
• Bulwark is now 8% increased Armour per level on the piece it is on.
• Hunter Ward now gives Armour against monsters and bosses.
• An Orb of Moros on armour gives 15-30% increased Armour on that piece. The Max HP implicit is gone.
• Armour trims that gave less damage taken now give increased Armour, against monsters or against players.
• Enchant procs from players (Lightning, Electrocution, Bleed, Poison and the rest) are now reduced by your Armour and your "less damage taken from players" lines.
• Gear tooltips are cleaner: Armour shows at the top under the item name, and the Enchants line shows your level cap.

• The Erebus Pit is now the PvP Pit, a one-level arena. The lift, the lower cavern and the ring guards are gone.
• Erebus, the Unlit is removed with the lower pit.
• New-player PvP protection is removed, with /pvp.
• Dying in the Pit drops your whole inventory.
• New Pit event: the Commissary. About once an hour a guarded chest lands in the Pit. Break it open and the last hit takes its PvP loot.
• Melee hit timing works like 1.8. A click landing right as the hit cooldown ends always counts, so hits no longer get skipped mid-combo.
• New: Bandits. Up to 20 roam the unsafe parts of the overworld in packs of 2-4. They leave you alone until you hit one, then the whole pack fights you.
• Bandits are level 60 monsters with their own loot. Your PvE bonuses apply against them and your PvP lines don't.
• KOTH pays a Lootbag on every win. The old random rows, jackpot and guaranteed title, nametags and boss key are gone.
• Every KOTH Lootbag pays money and Ancient Energy that grow with the level cap.
• The Olympian trims are new: four single PvP pieces, a sword trim and an axe trim. They replace the old Olympian set.

• Trap procs 25% more often.
• Execute now gives 6% more damage per level instead of increased damage.

• Anti Gank and Nemesis now only work in PvP.
• In duels, a hit only ends the fight after every damage reduction has applied.
• You can't open a crafting grid while in combat.

• New: the PvP Tournament, six times a day at 1, 5 and 9, AM and PM Pacific. A [JOIN] card opens a two-minute signup. Join from a safe zone.
• It is a 1v1 single-elimination bracket for up to 16 players in server-made kits. Your own gear is never at risk and comes back when you leave.
• Four modes take turns: Vanilla (everyone in one kit), Random kit, Blind pick (choose one of three kits in secret) and Draft (take turns picking weapons, armour, jewels and offhand).
• Fights last 3 minutes, then sudden death until someone falls.
• /tournament joins, leaves, spectates or shows the bracket.
• The tournament has its own stadium with a lobby, eight fight pits, seats to watch from and a bracket board.
• The winner and runner-up get a cache, and everyone who fought gets something. Prizes go to your inventory when the tournament ends, or /stash if it is full.
• The tournament has its own trims, enchants, a kill effect, a PvP pet and Champion titles at 1, 10, 25 and 50 wins.

• The Hunter tree is rebuilt as one web of paths and wheels: loops of themed nodes with a notable on the far side, and new keystones.

• Hunter defences such as Unbowed now change your Armour against monsters and bosses.
• A full respec is locked in boss arenas and for a few seconds after monster combat, like refunds and preset switches.
• With AncientsMod, /hunter opens the whole tree on one screen. Drag to move, scroll to zoom, click to take a node.

• Rift time is 10 minutes a day (was 15), and every ore pays twice the rift points it used to.
• Rift levels replace Rift Prestige. Every rift point is also 1 rift XP, and each of the 10 rift levels gives 1 tree point. Rift Prestige and its points bonus are gone.
• New: the Rift Tree. 20 nodes in five branches of four, each costing 1 tree point. Respec is free outside the rift.

• Each player keeps their own Ignite, Bleed and Poisons on a target. A party no longer shares 3 Poisons.
• Ignite and Bleed no longer run out while your procs keep landing.
• At the Poison cap the weakest Poison is replaced.
• Every Poison and Ignite from an item's chance on hit works the same way: a Poison deals 100% and an Ignite 150% of the hit's base damage over 4 seconds, raised by your increased damage.
• Shock and Chill work the same way everywhere: a Shocked monster takes 15% increased damage from all sources for 4 seconds, and a Chilled monster moves 30% slower for 2 seconds.
