Here are the release notes for Update 66: Rise of the Dragon Lord, released on Wednesday, February 28th, 2024.



We're celebrating 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons with giveaways every month! For this month, a new fighter Archetype is now available. Dragon Lord fighters forgo the use of a shield to focus on offensive tactical combat mixed with potent draconic abilities, and they empower and protect allies with auras while destroying foes with the roar of a dragon! See the full list of abilities and benefits in the release notes below.

Now through March 26th, 2024 all players can acquire the Dragon Lord archetype for FREE by visiting the dragon Xatheral in the Eberron Hall of Heroes! The Dragon Lord archetype will continue to be free to VIPs after March 26th, and available in the DDO Store as well. NOTE: VIPs must speak to Xatheral to claim the Dragon Lord from February 28th through March 26th. VIPs will be able to make a Dragon Lord after March 26th without speaking to Xetheral once the Year of the Dragon promotional period for Dragon Lord has ended.

Happy 18th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Online! The Anniversary Event has returned to House Phiarlan through March 12th! Last year's anniversary gift, the Dark Armor cosmetic, has been added to the list of Anniversary Event rewards. Additionally, some adjustments have been made to the quest to reflect the prior year and future hints. Find the portal to the Anniversary Event next to Gnoa Bn'for near the Phiarlan Chapterhouse.


Due to space limitations on Steam, the full release notes are available to read on DDO.com: https://www.ddo.com/update-notes/ddo-update-66-release-notes

A Look at 2024, The Year of the Dragon – Producer's Letter

Greetings Everyone! 

Today I wanted to tell you about some of our plans for the year in Dungeons & Dragons Online. I hope you all had a fantastic 2023, and that you’re ready for even more adventures. I’m having a bit of adventure myself at the moment due to a winter storm, writing a draft of this Producer’s Letter in the dark by candlelight, with one of those old timey writing things ... a pen and some paper.

In a way it’s kind of thematically appropriate; it has me thinking about when I used to write D&D adventures by hand for my friends. It’s been nice to pause and reflect on those endearing D&D moments, because it is the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons! That’s half a century of people lovingly making their character builds, their campaigns, and playing with their friends. And yeah, sure, a lot of tools and technologies have changed in 50 years, but what hasn’t changed is the passion and creativity of everybody who loves D&D. That’s a huge reason why it has endured. As luck would have it, the 50th anniversary happens to fall on the lunar year of the Dragon! How fantastic is that? So that means we’re going to celebrate big. Dragon big! 

I am pleased to announce that starting at DDO’s Anniversary in February we will be rolling out a yearlong celebration in honor of D&D’s 50th Anniversary!  From free gifts to new features, each month during our Year of the Dragon celebration there will be something exciting for our players. Be sure to check in with us on February 7th when we will reveal what each month’s Year of the Dragon surprise will be! The fun starts during DDO's 18th anniversary on February 28th. As a hint to how this starts, the first surprise will be a dragon themed archetype. The “Year of the Dragon” celebration will last all the way until next year’s anniversary.   

To help get your friends and family ready for the Year of the Dragon, I’m also pleased to announce the return of a special coupon code that can be used to get a ton of free quest packs! Use coupon code: FREEDDO2024. (Available through 11:59pm Eastern (-4 GMT) Sunday, February 11th 2024.)

Learn more about all the quest packs that this code grants and how to apply the code here!

In addition, we have lots of other excitement planned in 2024. Here’s an early sense of what those updates will entail: 

By popular demand, our next major Expansion in the summer will take place in a fan favorite D&D location: Myth Drannor! It is among the more infamous places in the Forgotten Realms and we’re very excited to bring it to life! The level cap will increase to 34, and I’m looking forward to one of Myth Drannor’s hallmarks: Wild Magic areas. Myth Drannor is a place where opening yourself to chaos can allow you to tap into greater power.  It’s that power that has attracted the Red Wizards of Thay. Players will need to explore both the ruins of Myth Drannor, and interfere with the plans of the Red Wizards.  It’s the quintessential D&D and dungeon delving environment. Presale for the Expansion will start in June. 

In addition to two quest packs this year and our Expansion, there will also be a Dynamic Event with quests to unlock. Dynamic Events differ from our seasonal festivals in that while they are limited time activities, they are focused heavily on serious story narrative and DDO canon, and some aspects of them don’t repeat once the DDO community has advanced the story. They’re also meant to have elements that let players experience the event together, with collaboration and peer information sharing. After reviewing feedback on the Illithid Invasion, this Dynamic Event will be inclusive of all character levels since the Illithid Invasion was fairly end game focused. It will take the place of our Hardcore season so that all players can participate. We're anticipating that the event will be some time in the fall, though Dynamic Events may not always be during fall going forward. 

With the necessary Store infrastructure upgrades completed last year, we’ll also be looking to roll out the updates to the VIP program in the spring this year. We’ve made changes to the proposed rewards based on player feedback, and we’ll bring more information on the VIP program soon.  

We’ll update Crystal Cove and Night Revels to support the higher-level cap, and Night Revels will also get a new dungeon this year.  

If you’re new to the game, or returning after a little break, I just want to take a quick moment to recap some of the more recent features and excitement that have been added to DDO for you to enjoy:



We took players behind the scenes of dungeon making, and even let them help us decide what to build, with a new dungeon called “Catastrophe”. It’s a free quest, and you can also watch the behind-the-scenes video episodes about the making of it on our YouTube Channel. We plan to be at PAX East again this year, and more information about that will be announced soon. 

We’ve continued to expand our selection of Class Archetypes, adding Blightcaster, Dark Hunter, and Acolyte of the Skin. Archetypes have added some fresh play options, so we’re going to continue to add more types of them to the game in different ways. Some will be free, some will be paid, but all will bring new ways for people to shake up their character build dynamics. 

Several pieces of long time DDO content received a sprucing up and higher-level treasures added to make them playable at broader level ranges, including the Chronoscope, Deception in Stormreach, and Attack on Stormreach. 

Players recently worked together to successfully unlock a new set of tough dungeons in Sharn. While the live event is over, the quests that were unlocked are still available for everyone to play for free. These are some of the hardest quests we’ve had for a while, so see if your character has what it takes to best the Illithids there! 

A new treasure modification feature was added to the game known as the Deck of Many Curses. The cards for it first appeared in our aforementioned challenging Illithid Invasion dungeons. During Festivult, a curse introduced the cards to more places in game, and we’re going to go ahead and keep the card drops in the Legendary sagas. 

We have even more fun things planned in 2024, so check back with us regularly to see what’s new throughout the year! We’re so glad to have you with us, thanks for reading and we’ll see you in game!

Balance Adjustments:

• We've adjusted 13 distinct features across 7 classes and 2 universal trees to provide a larger holistic set of changes meant to intrigue character builders and shore up some statistical weaknesses. These adjustments include Action Point cost reduction, Cooldown reduction, and generalized buffs meant to bring up underused specs and add excitement across the board.
  
• Harper Agent
  
• Cores 1, 6, and 18 now give +1 To-hit and Damage and not just hit/damage versus Evil.

• Lighting the Candle now applies the fire portion of its imbue to Ki Spells.
  
• Class: Monk
  
• Quivering Palm has a new DC formula: DC 10 + monk level + highest of Dex or Wis mod + assassinate bonuses.
  
• It also now gains +4 DC on a failed saving throw.
  
• Known Issue: The DC boost portion of Quivering Palm is currently granting +2 DCs instead of +4
  
• Assassin
  
• All of the active poison attacks up the line are now +3W, use full rogue level for their DCs instead of half, factor in assassinate bonuses for their DC, and now make certain enemies that would be immune to poison, weak to poison.
  
• Ice Chill = Undead
  
• Heartseeker = Elementals
  
• Soulshatter = Outsiders
  
• Vistani
  
• Kukris now function with this tree, with the exception of the core 12, which only gives +1 multiplier (this keeps them in parity crit-wise with daggers as they naturally have +1 threat range over them.)
  
• Archmage
  
• Master of Magic (Core 20) now also grants +20 Universal Spell Power, and increases from +2 Intelligence to +4 Intelligence.
  
• Efficient Metamagics have their Action Point cost reduced from 2 to 1, since AM having metamagics be good seems flavorful.
  
• Spell Penetration has its AP cost reduced from 2 to 1.
  
• Energy of the Scholar has its AP cost reduced from 2 to 1, matching other trees.
  
• Cores 12 and 18 now grant a generic +1 to caster level and max caster level.
  
• Vanguard

• Nature's Protector's natural armor bonus now correctly stacks.

General Changes:

• Tomes of Learning and Epic Tomes of Learning (both Greater and Lesser) have been upgraded and now check each tier of difficulty independently to determine if you are "repeating" a quest. This means that completing a dungeon on Heroic will not count as "completed" for the Epic tome, so you'll be eligible for the Tome's first time bonus again separately.
  
• A set of performance updates have been applied to the game that affect combat bonuses, spell casting, login times, and regen in public spaces in an effort to reduce generalized and gameplay lag.
  
• Dretches will now pitch goo a little more frequently when being kited.
  
• Enemy casters will have a longer cooldown when casting Comet Fall to make it less spammy.

• The volume of combat music in Fables of the Feywild and Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh has been lowered.

UI:

• You can no longer move the Rune Arm Charge UI. This change corrects an issue that was making it sometimes difficult to attack while charging a Rune Arm.
  
• The DDO Store logo has been shifted so it no longer blocks interaction with header links when purchasing subscriptions.

• We've done some adjustments to the flow of the early game involving taverns in The Harbor. Tavern keepers in The Harbor can now be asked for "Quest Leads" and grant vector quests leading to the various quests around The Harbor. There is also a bit of info about favor and the compendium there. To get started, talk to the barkeeps in the Wayward Lobster or the Leaky Dingy.
  
• We are updating Dungeon Alert to put some bite back into the system, which has not scaled well against ever-increasing player power over the years.

• Newly created copies of the Kundarak Delving Suit now have slightly different effects to avoid overlaps.
  
• The 4th core in Ravager now gives its Maximum Hit Points

• Monsters will now be better about dropping aggro against players they have no hope of catching, and dropping aggro against players who passed them by but were never primary targets and might be long gone. Note this does not effect the duration they'll contribute to Dungeon Alert, only killing them or waiting for the alert to cooldown will do that once they've aggro'd and added to the alert level.
  
• Monsters will no longer try to path home when they drop aggro. Sometimes these paths could get very long and performance expensive. Monsters on landscapes will still leash normally which is the teleport they do with the little yellow stop sign when they get pulled too far off their spawn point.
  
• Archer/Casters will generally try to run from you less often when you get close to them. These AIs when they got jammed into corners would spend a lot of time failing to find a good spot, and we feel it's not worth the server cycles. An Archer/Caster will still occasionally move away from you, especially when they first aggro, but typically won't spend cycles trying to maintain distance anymore. Mobs with baked in jump back animations will still do those behaviors though.

• The Machrotechnic Epic Destiny revolves around the following themes:
  
• Defense (but not necessarily tanking)
  
• Rune Arms
  
• Electric, Sonic, and Repair/Rust Spellcasting
  
• Cores
  
• Core 1 (level 20): Maker's Touch: You gain the Magical Training feat. Each core of this tree grants +25 Maximum Spell points, +15 Maximum Hit Points, +5 Electric, Sonic, Rust, and Repair Spell Power, +5 Universal Spell Power, +5 Melee Power, and +4 Ranged Power.

• We are rebalancing Rune Arm shots throughout the game. We currently have around 20 Rune Arm shot types, which vary wildly in damage, number of hits, speed, spread, homing, and hitbox size. In this pass, we've standardized many things to make more Rune Arm types viable, bring in odd outliers, and make the user experience better.
  
• The information below is sorted by Shot Type - Every Rune Arm with that Shot Type is affected by the listed changes.
  
• The Rune Arm Charge UI is now moveable like other UI elements.
  
• All Rune Arm shots now have a consistent projectile size. This should especially help ones like Light Spirals, which were so large they'd often impact the ground before actually shooting.
  
• One of the biggest power disparities we tackled here is in AOE vs. Single(ish) Target Rune Arms. An example of AOE is Fire Blast, which is a cone that hits many enemies inside it. An example of Single(ish) Target is Salt Shot, which shoots 5 homing projectiles at a single target. That doesn't mean all of those will hit that target, or ONLY that target as things can get in their way, but they're single target most of the time.
  
• We've made the target damage for Single(ish)-Target ones equivalent to what Salt, Knife, Ghost, Book, and Bee Shot are currently dealing (below called "New Single Target Curve"). Their damage has remained the same; other shots have come up to meet them.
  
• Currently, these have similar damage curves. However, many of the AOEs only hit their target once, while the Single(ish)-Target ones can hit up to five times. Meaning the AOEs are doing 20% of the damage of Single(ish)-Target ones, sometimes less.
  
• The damage on AOEs that do 1 hit to affected targets has gone up substantially across the board to put their damage at roughly half of what the Single Target(ish) ones do with the number of projectiles they fire at the same tier.
  
• All Rune Arms that deal multiple damage types still do, we've just split the numbers to fit the new damage paradigm.
  
• Breakdown By Shot Type:
  
• Acid Bolt
  
• Updated damage to New Single Target Curve
  
• Changed shot spread to narrow
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Bee Shot
  
• No changes (slow projectile speed remains as this one also delivers a DOT)
  
• Book Shot
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Cold Bolts
  
• Updated damage to New Single Target Curve
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Cannon Shot
  
• Updated damage to something close to New AOE Curve, split across two damage types
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Electrical Blast
  
• Updated damage to New AOE Curve
  
• Electrical Lash
  
• Updated damage to New AOE Curve
  
• Increased projectile speed slightly
  
• Added homing - This projectile does not explode on impact, but this change will fire it in the direction of your target instead of straight ahead.
  
• Ghost Shot
  
• Increased projectile speed.
  
• Fire Blast / Corrupted Fire Blast
  
• Updated damage to New AOE Curve
  
• Exploding Fire Shot / Corrupted Exploding Fire Shot
  
• Updated damage to New AOE Curve
  
• Added homing
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Made hitbox significantly larger - This now matches other shot types, but we wanted to call it out because the hitbox on this one was SO SMALL before, especially without homing, that it... often just wouldn't hit anything.
  
• Force Shot
  
• Updated damage to New Single Target Curve
  
• Changed shot spread to narrow
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Gold Shot
  
• Updated damage to New Single Target Curve
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Knife Shot
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Light Spirals
  
• This shot type actually works now, no longer immediately destroys itself while standing on the ground
  
• Updated damage to New Single Target Curve
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• Salt Shot
  
• No changes
  
• Trash Shot
  
• This is our outlier. Trash Shot is currently doing around double the damage of the next-best Rune Arm in the game.We've adjusted the damage down and given it homing and better projectile speed. Its damage has been reduced by around half, putting it slightly higher than the New Single Target Curve to most targets.
  
• It has four damage types, but very few will almost take all four - Poison and Rust are generally mutually exclusive against targets.
  
• Each damage type here is slightly higher than 1/3 of the New Single Target Curve. If you manage to find a target that will take all four types of damage... Well, this Rune Arm will be good for that.
  
• Added homing
  
• Increased projectile speed
  
• The following shot types have been updated from shooting (2/2/3/3/4) projectiles to (1/2/3/4/5) projectiles:
  
• Cold Bolts
  
• Electrical Storm
  
• Ghost Shot
  
• Gold Shot
  
• Light Shot
  
• Trash Shot now shoots (1/2/2/3/3) projectiles (previously 2/3/2/2/3).
  
• Electrical Storm Rune Arms no longer erroneously have Electrical Lash Rune Arms' AOE properties.

• You can now right click a party member in the party UI to send them a tell.
  
• You can now move the Rune Arm Charge UI element.
  
• The Experience Report window has gotten a slight overhaul!
  
• No longer reports about bravery streaks (as that mechanic has been deprecated for several years).
  
• Now contains less empty space.
  
• Now reports starting Reaper XP accurately.
  
• Now shows you the previously-hidden Reaper First Time Bonus to Reaper XP.
  
• Now shows your estimated Reaper XP even if you haven't activated Reaper XP by killing 10 monsters yet.

• Bravery Bonus has been renamed Delving Bonus.
  
• Conquest now has a ceiling of 100 Kills that will always trigger conquest bonus.
  
• Many quests now have working conquest bonuses that didn't before.
  
• Kill Thresholds for Aggression/Onslaught/Conquest are now at lower values of 25%/50%/75%.
  
• Reaper First time bonus reduced to 45%. 50% of reaper's first time bonus has been moved into a new Delving Tier (Hard 50%/Elite 100%/Reaper 150%).

We've updated the User Interface for the Character Bank, Shared Account Bank, and the Reincarnation Cache! Everyone will have the same amount of space they had prior to the update, but functionality has been greatly improved, including the ability to create tabs with editable names! 

News and Notes:

Temple of Elemental Evil
Temple of Elemental Evil Part One has been turned into two separate quests, with the first containing the Upper Temple and the Earth Temple and the second containing the Lower Temple.
Temple of Elemental Evil Part Two has been turned into five separate quests, with each Elemental Node becoming its own quest and the fifth quest leading into and including the fight against Zuggtymoy.
Additionally, several quests have had objectives added to make their game play flow more clearly. 
The Zuggtmoy and Falrinth encounters have had their difficulty adjusted.
The rewards for Temple of Elemental Evil have been adjusted:
NOTE: Existing Temple of Elemental Evil loot is NOT changing, and everything you have will remain unchanged, including its minimum level.
New items now appear in Temple of Elemental Evil at Minimum Level 8 in Heroic difficulty and Minimum Level 31 in Legendary difficulty. These items will appear in End Chests in ToEE quests.
There are now four Set Bonuses, one for each of the four elements in the Temple.
Some new Augments can be found in random encounter chests, in both Heroic and Legendary difficulty. 
Some new wands can be found in random encounter chests as well.
Old Temple of Elemental Evil named items will now be located in various tougher optional objectives in the new quests. These items remain unchanged. 
The old Temple of Elemental Evil item crafting system has been removed, although existing Ingredients will continue to exist. Existing base and crated weapons and armor will continue to exist, but will no longer drop. The old crafting station remains in its prior location.
Archetypes
Archetypes are new ways to play existing classes, and three Archetypes are now available. Here are specific details pertaining to archetypes:
If an ability requires you to be a specific class, any Archetype of that class will also qualify. For example, Dark Apostate (Cleric) will qualify for any ability that requires you to be a Cleric.
Archetypes can have different enhancement trees from their base class.
Archetypes can have different class Feats.
Archetypes can have different class spell books.
Archetypes can also have their own alignment restrictions.
Characters can multiclass into an Archetype just as they would a regular class, but a character cannot multiclass an Archetype with its base class or another Archetype of the same class. So a Cleric Archetype could multiclass into Fighter or a Fighter Archetype, but a Cleric Archetype could not multiclass into a different Cleric Archetype or base Cleric class. 
Archetypes have their own Past Lives that fit into the current Heroic Past Life system. If your majority class is in an Archetype, you will earn that Archetype's Past Life.
An Archetype's Past Life counts as a Prerequisite for the Heroic Active Past Life Feats, and an Archetype's Past Life Feat qualifies someone for Heroic Completionist if they have not earned it already. If you have one copy of all Heroic class Past Lives done on a character except for Cleric, for example, you'd be able to qualify for the Cleric portion with either base Cleric or with Dark Apostate. This means that as we release new Archetypees, Heroic Completionist won't be removed from players that have already earned it, and new options will open up for players still on that journey. Finally, with this release, Heroic Completionist will become automatically granted to characters that qualify.
When you select a class during character creation, a side window will appear that will contain the base class (again) and its Archetypes.
When multiclassing into a Archetype, you'll talk to that class' trainer, and you'll be asked if you would like to multiclass into the base class or any available Archetypes. If no Archetypes are available, or if you are ineligible for them because you are already that Archetype or that Base class, then you'll skip to the leveling up section you are already familiar with.
When selecting another player or viewing your own character sheet, Archetypes will be displayed in the class breakdown. Example: Dark Apostate 18, Monk 2.
You may swap into a Archetype during a Lesser Reincarnation. You won't need a +X Heart to swap levels during that Lesser Reincarnation; swapping into a Archetype during a Lesser Reincarnation does not count towards class swap totals and does not require class swaps to perform.
Dark Apostate (Cleric) - Changes from Base Class:
Instead of automatically preparing Cure Wounds spells, Dark Apostates automatically prepare the Inflict Wounds spells.
Past Life: Dark Apostate: +5 Negative Healing Amplification and +5 Negative Spell Power (stacks 3 times).

While in Shadow form, you are considered an Undead, gain a base 100% Fortification, and may heal from Negative Energies.

Shadowy Bulwark: +5/10/15 Hit Points

Tier 2:
SLA: Prayer
Mighty Turning: When you successfully Turn Undead, the Undead are now destroyed.

Enhanced Curse III: (req Enhanced Curse II) Your Apostate's Curse gains 1 additional damage dice.
+1 Wisdom
Tier 5:
Benediction: Harm now scales with 2x Spell Power and may now kill enemies.

Note that this tree releases alongside the revamped Divine Disciple tree.
Sacred Fist (Paladin) - Changes from Base Class:
Armor Class Bonus: (1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20) - This version scales off of Charisma instead of Wisdom. If you are part-monk this will use the highest of Charisma or Wisdom.
Flurry of Blows (1)
Unarmed Strike (1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20)
Evasion (2) (Note: they do not get Improved Evasion except as a Tier 5 enhancement in the Sacred Fist tree.)
Path of Light (1) - This is the Handwraps deity feat. As with all deity feats it grants Proficiency with its weapon (in this case Handwraps). It is automatically granted rather than being chosen during feat selection.
Divine Dream (6) - This is the level 6 "special" Deity feat. It makes you considered to be in Heavy Armor while centered for the purposes of the Sacred Defender tree. This does NOT let you be centered in heavy! It is automatically granted rather than being chosen during feat selection.
Removed: Sacred Fist Paladins do not gain Shield, Armor, or Martial Weapon Proficiency of any kind. Note that because they get the Path of Light this means they can use Handwraps!
Spellbook:
Level 1:
Added: Ki Bolt: Fire a bolt of pure Ki towards enemies. Deals 1d6 Fire and 1d4 Force damage per caster level, scaling with 300% Melee Power. Note that this spell has been adjusted for playability for this Archetype and Henshin Mystic will also see this increased damage! Cost: 10 Ki
Level 2:
Added: Sacred Flame Empowerment: Upon cast, you are empowered by holy magic, granting you +3 Sacred Fist Dice and allowing your critical hits to deal 1d20 Bane damage per Sacred Fist Dice, scaling with 100% of your Melee Power. Cost: 18 Ki, Duration: 20 seconds
Level 3:
Added: Incinerating Wave: Creates an incinerating wave of ki fire. Deals 1d6+3 fire and force damage per caster level to targets within the wall, scaling with 300% Melee Power. Note that this spell has been adjusted for playability for this Archetype and Henshin Mystic will also see this increased damage! Cost: 18 Ki
Level 4:
Added: Ki Explosion: Waves of fire emanate from your body, dealing 1d6 per Sacred Fist Dice in Fire, Light, and Force damage to enemies in your vicinity, scaling with 200% Melee Power. For 20 seconds after you cast this spell, you benefit from Fire Shield: Hot, which prevents 50% of your incoming Fire damage and deals a small amount of Fire damage to attackers that strike you in melee. Cost: 30 Ki
Misc Class Attributes:
Ki Ability: Charisma
Ki Progression: Monk
Note: If you are part-monk (which uses Wisdom for ki), the Ki system will ever so politely take the highest of those modifiers. So don't worry that you'll end up wis-based if you multiclass.
Past Life: Sacred Fist: +5 Healing Amp and +5 Positive Spell Power per stack.
New Tree: Sacred Fist, Replaces Knight of the Chalice
