Patch 2.0.3 Full Changelog - Lootrun, Reworks & More!

​

Hello everyone!
We’re bringing you a HUGE update today. There's so much new stuff that a few years ago, this would have been considered a major update!

Official Trailer​

​

| HERO Beta is open now!
If you have a HERO rank or Silverbull Subscription, join at beta.wynncraft.com!

Just like last time, we've showcased the update to some Wynntubers in advance. If you're not the reading type, you can check out the update here!

​

​

| Client-Side Loot Chests

It’s finally happening. Loot Chests will now be client-side instead of server-side. That means every player will have their own unique instance of every Loot Chest on the map. Other players will not be able to arrive before you and pick up all the loot, leaving nothing for you.

Loot Chests will still become more and more filled over time, but it will be based on the last time you, personally, looted that chest. Tier 3 and 4 will also require you to complete a small challenge before opening them.

This change has implications for the quantity of loot some players will find. Now that Loot Chests are client-side, it means it is no longer possible to abuse the old mechanic by seeking old worlds and claiming routes before other players get there. For those that used to exclusively experience chests this way, you will see a decrease in overall loot.

However, we don't want this to just be a straight-up nerf to the most popular endgame activity. We've spent time designing a new Lootrun system for y'all!

| Lootruns and the Silverbull Syndicates

Last update we introduced the Silverbull Trading Company. However, they're not just a trading company, but a larger conglomerate in the world of Wynncraft that deals with various services.

They've just opened their headquarters near Cinfras! Visit it to learn more about how the system works and join the Lootrunning Division! Level up through the syndicate ranks to unlock more features for your lootruns, like new beacon effects, bonuses, and more! Leveling up is not particularly grindy and is designed to ease you into the system at a good pace.

​

You can find Lootrun Camps in certain areas, by interacting with the Lootrun Master you will be given the option to start a Lootrun! Beacons of different colour and effects will appear and lead you to a particular challenge. Sometimes it will be exploring a cave, other times it will be defending a statue from attackers, and so on. Successfully completing challenges will give you loot and special lootrun bonuses based on your beacon selection. The more challenges you complete, the more you improve your End Reward after finishing a Lootrun and get more loot.

​

Lootrunning will feel different than what you are used to. The learned skill is less about perfectly memorizing and following the shortest paths between chests as fast as possible, and more about building your run to maximize your luck and loot. Knowledge of the area is still important but in a different way.
In the beginning, we'll have 2 Lootrun camps available. One in the Silent Expanse [991, -784], and one in Corkus [-1561, -2674]. We plan to add additional ones soon after, particularly in high-level areas.

We've spent a lot of time making the system repeatable and better suited for the long term. We hope you guys like it, even if it's a big change!


| Content Book and Caves

The Quest Book has been replaced by the Content Book. It now shows different types of content such as quests, caves, dungeons, and more! The default sorting will recommend certain types of content based on your progression and how close it is. If you prefer, you can set filters and change the sorting to get the same experience as the original quest book.

There's now a lot more information for each type of content. If a quest is important for a story, it will be highlighted with a "Storyline" tag.

​

| Dungeon Redesign: The Timelost Sanctum

The Lost Sanctuary Dungeon (Lv. 24) has been replaced by a brand new one: The Timelost Sanctum (Lv. 27). Enter a dungeon trapped in time, forever preserved in a moment of perfection. Complete its challenges in any order, which become more difficult as the spell is disrupted and the sanctum is pulled closer to the present day.

The dungeon won't be available right away during HERO Beta and will come out a little bit later. Its corrupted version will also stay unchanged for now.

| New Endgame Rewards

Although Lootruns' main attraction will still be Mythics. However, new rewards and items were also added!

Every week, a new set of rewards will refresh for each Lootrun Camp containing various rewards such as Mythics, emeralds, various regular items, runes, and keys. They also have exclusive ones, such as:

Shiny Mythics
Once per week, one Mythic will be selected at random and become Shiny. Shiny items work the same way as regular ones, are extra rare, and track specific game statistics achieved while having them equipped. Note that the new glow effect only works in higher Minecraft versions.

New Items
The IMs have been hard at work coming up with cool new Lootrun exclusive items. They may not be mythic-tiered, but are still very strong by themselves and have unique Major IDs

| HERO Beta is opening soon!

If you have a HERO or CHAMPION rank, or have a Silverbull Subscription, you can test out the patch at BETA.WYNNCRAFT.COM right now if you have the HERO rank or a Silverbull Subscription. Join us on Discord to know when the update comes out for everyone else!

As usual with betas, they aren't designed to make sweeping changes to systems. The amount of players who helps test is a little too low for that. There's also a difference in the way people play on betas versus on the live servers. Betas are great for finding bugs and things we missed, but for making big changes to the system it's more effective to get feedback from all players once it is released. We will continue to tweak and improve the system in future updates.

Please report any bugs or feedback on the HERO Beta Bug Report section.
We plan the beta to last less than a week. Join our Discord to be notified when it goes out!
