Experience Optimization
Fresh content is now easier to spot. When new activities, challenges, or objectives are added to an event, a “New” badge will appear on the corresponding tab. If an event contains new content, its main entry point will also display a “New” badge, making it easy to jump into the latest activities. Once you've viewed the new content, the badge will disappear until the next refresh.
New badges refresh every Wednesday at 3:00 AM server time alongside the weekly task reset, helping you quickly find newly available objectives and rewards.
We've also improved selectable Legendary equipment rewards. Instead of receiving a random Legendary from your chosen slot, you'll now receive a specific Legendary item for that slot, giving you greater control over the rewards you earn.

- Blood Knight
- Warlock
You can view the list of essence additions and balance changes on our forums here.

The first player on each server to clear Floor 950 will receive an exclusive limited-time portrait frame lasting until Season 22 begins.
QoL Improvements
Pin Items in your Inventory
Keep your most frequently used items close at hand with the new Item Pinning feature inside of the Inventory screen! Pin up to 22 items to prioritize their placement in your inventory, making it easier to find and access the items you need. Pinned items are marked with a distinctive gilded outline, and you can unpin them at any time to restore their normal inventory order. Items of the same type can only be pinned once, helping you keep your inventory organized and your most important items readily accessible.
Secondary Item Rank Increased to 30
As many adventurers continue progressing beyond the current Secondary Item Rank cap, we're expanding the system to support additional long-term character growth.
The maximum Secondary Item Rank will be increased from 25 to 30. To keep this progression aligned with overall character advancement, higher ranks will unlock at specific Paragon milestones:
- Rank 26 unlocks at Paragon 1600
- Rank 27 unlocks at Paragon 1700
- Rank 28 unlocks at Paragon 1800
- Rank 29 unlocks at Paragon 2000
- Rank 30 unlocks at Paragon 2100
This update provides new goals for endgame players while ensuring character progression remains tied to continued advancement throughout Sanctuary.
Upgrade levels 21 and above require specific Paragon Level thresholds before they can be enhanced.
