Here are the release notes for Update 67.2, released on Wednesday, April 24th, 2024.
The Year of the Dragon celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons with free gifts every month! https://www.ddo.com/year-of-the-dragon.

Starting on Wednesday, April 24th through May 28th, 2024, all players can speak to Xatheral in the Eberron Hall of Heroes and select one expansion they wish to acquire for their account! All expansions except for Vecna Unleashed are available to choose from. You will get access to the playable content of the expansion that is normally available in the DDO Store for Points, not any of the additional bonuses or account unlocks granted from the DDO Market editions.

If you already have all of the expansions on your account, then Xatheral will instead direct you to speak to an NPC named Estraz nearby to receive a Greater Elixir of Discovery. This Elixir boosts the chances of getting Named Loot from chests that ordinarily contain Named Loot by 10%. (Bonus Type: Special) This effect lasts for 60 minutes. The timer for this effect pauses while you are in public areas or logged out. Limit 1 per Account.

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.

Read more about our entire Year of the Dragon celebration on DDO.com!


Happy 18th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Online! The Anniversary Event has returned to House Phiarlan through March 12th!

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!

• 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
  
• Stunning Shield cooldown reduced to 45/30/15 seconds.
  
• Shield Rush cooldown reduced to 40/30/20 seconds.

Bug Fixes:

• Ravager's Laughter now reliably adds Fury to your character.
  
• The Challenge XP panel is no longer a string table error.
  
• Consecration now heals Hirelings (note: this note was erroneously in U60 release but is actually here.)
  
• When you have items in the Store queue and clear the queue, the queue icon now properly clears itself from you when the queue is empty.
  
• Lighting the Candle's buff now has the correct text for real this time.

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 Legendary Dread Isle's Curse set now correctly lists its Profane Attack and Damage bonus value in its tooltip.
  
• 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.

• 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:

• 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%).
