Descend nto the Depths
Descend to the ocean floor where lanterns powered by the Allflame will protect you from the powerful waves. Investigate and gather what you can while the opportunity exists. Hidden treasures, valuable chests, and potential dangers are present.
As the lanterns dim, you must quickly return to the safety of the Bathysphere to avoid the creatures that are drawn to the light.
Plan Your Voyage
After charting a sufficient number of areas, link them to form a Voyage, creating one extensive exploration of the seafloor. You can revisit each chart to reap its rewards again, while also enhancing those rewards in various ways.
Each chart you create reveals a modifier that affects the Voyage. The edges of the Voyage Board include randomized effects that impact adjacent Charts during each Voyage, leading to additional rewards.
Strategically plan a rewarding Voyage using special Charts that guide you to lucrative locations on the ocean floor, which may include chests filled with treasures, sunken Abyssal pits, and ancient artifacts ready to be retrieved.
Allflame Crafting
Head belowdecks, and you’ll find the heart of the ship at work. Feed it an item, and it will split into a multitude of ghostly outcomes, one of which you can keep for yourself.
Find valuable Ducats on the seafloor and use them to warp and twist items in ways not seen in centuries.
Survive the Black Current
Keep an eye out for special types of Charts on your travels throughout Wraeclast! You may even find some that lead to notably… unwelcoming waters.
Mercenaries Return
The Mercenaries of Trarthus are currently active in Wraeclast, looking for opponents. By defeating one in a duel, you can obtain a powerful item they carry and recruit them as an ally in the surrounding area.
In Maps, if you are unsatisfied with a Mercenary’s items, you can request a Warrant to summon that specific Mercenary in a future Map with the same skills but a different set of items.
As with previous leagues integrated into the core game, full Atlas Tree and Scarab support for Mercenaries has been implemented.
The Luminary Ascendancy
In Curse of the Allflame, the Scion is getting a new Ascendancy class, the Luminary.
Upon becoming a Luminary, you can permanently hire a Mercenary as an active ally in combat. Unlike regular Mercenaries, Luminary’s hired Mercenaries can have their equipment changed, unlocking countless new build possibilities.
Abyss Reworked
The Abyss has undergone a substantial rework in Curse of the Allflame. Abyssal cracks are now active, releasing energy into the vicinity and affecting nearby enemies. Defeating these enemies will attract Abyssal hordes that emerge from below.
The gameplay experience in the Abyss now offers enhanced feedback, with audio and visual cues guiding players more effectively. Players can acquire Abyssal Jewels and Stygian Vises through the Abyss, and this system has been completely revamped along with the Scarabs and passive tree investments.
Legion Reworked
Legion has received a major reward overhaul. Use the new Enshrouding Crystals on your Unique Armours, then place them in a crystal within the Domain of Timeless Conflict to create a Vestigial Unique Item with powerful modifiers transferred from the Unique you’ve selected. Vestigial Unique Items are exclusive to Legion and replace Incubators.
Atlas Anomalies
In this expansion, strange locations have begun to manifest across the Atlas. When you complete Maps affected by a Voidstone, there is a chance that an anomaly will appear on the Atlas.
Anomalies are areas that can be run once, granting potentially powerful rewards. Examples include Cadiro Perandus, a mysterious trader offering strange curios for your Gold, or a fully revealed Heist Blueprint wing. There are many anomalies to discover, each tied to a specific Atlas quadrant.
Socket Colours Reworked
Socket colours will no longer restrict which Skills and Supports you can put in them, allowing any coloured gem to be socketed. Red, blue, and green sockets still serve a purpose, granting additional quality to gems of the matching colour.
Spellcaster Rebalance
Spellcasters have undergone significant enhancements overall, especially for those who cast spells directly. Over one hundred existing spells have been rebalanced to introduce greater variation among spells of different damage types.
The Ascendancies of Assassin, Inquisitor, and Occultist have received new or reworked notable skills that support casters.
Additionally, improvements have been made to caster itemization, focusing specifically on staves, and new methods have been introduced to address mana management for casters. Several unique items for casters have been buffed, and a new Keystone has been added, among other changes.
New Spellcaster Skills
In this expansion, a new set of Exceptional Skill Gems known as Pacts is being introduced, which can be obtained from Beyond bosses and Lycia in the Forbidden Sanctum. Players can make a deal with a powerful Beyond Demon to enhance their Spells, albeit at the expense of incurring a drawback.
Additionally, a new reservation skill for spellcasters who use staves, called Mana-Infused Staff, has been introduced, along with several new Transfigured Skill Gems
