The wait is over - the highly anticipated Wintertodt updates are LIVE NOW! We've also got drop rate reveals for Hueycoatl and Amoxliatl along with further Varlamore: The Rising Darkness improvements.
Changelog - October 9th
[expand type=show more]Wintertodt Updates are Here!
- Warmth Meter has replaced Hitpoints as the resource you need to keep topped up. This means that the Wintertodt's basic and special attacks do damage to your Warmth instead of HP.[/*]
- Two new sets of Sprouting Roots (one on each side) are added to the lobby, which can be used to gather Bruma herbs.[/*]
- Picking Bruma Herbs in Wintertodt no longer grants Farming XP. The reason for this change is to avoid introducing extremely low-effort, on-demand Farming XP methods.[/*]
- Added a 'Drink' option to the Rejuvenation potion which will restore 30% of your Warmth per dose, totaling 120% for the full potion, meaning you'll be able to keep yourself topped up indefinitely if you'd like.[/*]
- To prevent accidental potion-consumption, we've added a left-click 'Help' option to the Pyromancers.[/*]
- Incorporated various additional sources of regeneration into the Warmth system, such as Heal Other, Redemption, the Regen Bracelet and the Hitpoints cape.[/*]
- The following items now all count as Warm Clothing:[/*] [list]
- Wolf Mask[/*]
- Earmuffs[/*]
- Cap and Goggles[/*]
- Woolly Hat[/*]
- Bobble Hat[/*]

Wintertodt Updates are Here!
We're excited to bring the chilling Wintertodt updates into the live game! Lots of you jumped in and helped us test out the new additions through our beta last week, and following your feedback, we're now able to take full advantage of the changes with your live game accounts. Before diving into the specifics, we'd like draw your attention to a change on logging out inside Wintertodt: Once the update goes live, if you had logged out in the Wintertodt arena, you'll be moved outside to the Doors of Dinh - that is the case if you were on a normal world. For those in a Deadman world, they will be relocated to the nearby bank to ensure their safety. Just a quick heads up! So wrap up in some Warm clothing and let's take a look at what to expect!Warmth Meter
