• Every Relic Active and Passive skill has tier levels which make them more powerful, providing additional means of support or damage.
  
  
  
  
• Because Relics have been completely incorporated into their own skill tree, they no longer are leveled up like they previously were. The Reliquary is no longer a functional fort decoration, but will now serve as an exclusive Early Access gift that will serve as a reminder of ‘a bygone era.’
  
  
  
  
• Because Relic skills are part of the class skill trees, you can use Respectacles to respec your skill points at fort skill stations if you want to tinker with your Relic skills.

We are extremely excited to hear about the new class builds that players are creating and how the new Relic skills play into group mechanics. We’ll continue to tune and balance skills and combat and we’ll be watching http://tl3feedback.echtragames.com/ for feedback and technical issues. Again, we really appreciate all the suggestions and bug reports you are submitting.

Good morning frontier!

This is the update that you’ve been watching and waiting for. The Relic Subclass update has arrived and alongside it, a complete character and account wipe.

This update is a culmination of player feedback we have received since launching to Early Access: More skills slots, bringing the total up to nine - all with controller support. New mini-dungeon areas, hair color options, and fort decorations. UI scaling and video setting updates. A large list of bug fixes and performance improvements. And five powerful and unique Relic Subclasses, each a full skill class tree leaning heavily into a specific combat style, with Relic energy, weapon masteries, and passive and active skills.

“Relics initially began as a special type of item that had unique features. They were items that you could equip and level up and store/swap between characters. They would gain stats and have their own dedicated weapon slot. Relics were designed to be flexible, super powerful combat options with their own background and lore.” Tyler, Torchlight III Project Lead explains. “Through Alpha and Steam Early Access, our fans have guided us on a journey that has brought relics more and more into the center of the game. In update after update, we’ve heard that relics were getting better, but they had more potential that just didn’t feel unlocked.”

Then Early Access started...

“While most of the negative reviews were due to server issues, there were some really thoughtful responses by our players on how we present skills; it really came down to feeling like there was a lack of build options, active skills, and even just skill slots themselves.”


The first time we saw Bane...                                        Bane reimagined as a third skill tree.

He continued to explain why Relics needed an update, “While Relics added a third skill tab, that tab arrived after first impressions were formed and didn’t have enough impact when it did show up. Being able to craft, change, share, and delete the relics tended to diminish their importance to a character. It felt like a system on the side - not something that truly provided build diversity and character identity.”


A Sharpshooter with the Blood Drinker Relic, ready for battle!

“We decided to take the next natural step with Relics: We made relics a full-blown subclass: a part of character creation, a full tab of active and passive skills, and a clearly separate strategy for the character. These 5 relics together with our 4 character classes form 20 truly unique strategies.”

You can read all the detailed notes about the Relics, their skill trees, and Relic Energy below, but first we wanted to highlight some other important community requests and commonly reported bug fixes.

• The game user settings now better defaults for good performance without overheating.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1033
  
  This update fixes a bug in Video Settings detection which made some people's computers run too hot. Next time you start Torchlight 3, your Video Settings will be automatically detected again, as if you were running it for the first time. TL3 should now run as fast or faster than before, without burning up your computer.
  
  As part of these changes, the game now defaults to Windowed Fullscreen instead of Fullscreen. This has a few benefits, including behaving better when switching to other running programs. In Windowed Fullscreen, your UI will be at the highest resolution your monitor supports (for example, 1920 x 1080), and the rest of the game will run at a resolution that may be lower, exactly as if you'd set a lower fullscreen resolution (say, 1280 x 720), based on the Resolution Quality slider.
  
  For example: Windowed Fullscreen at 1920 x 1080 and Resolution Quality 66.67 will look and run the same as Fullscreen 1280 x 720 and Resolution Quality 100, except that in the Windowed Fullscreen case the UI will be much crisper.
  
  Also, if you change your video or CPU hardware, or perhaps update your drivers, and want to detect new automatic "best" settings, you can now do that at the Main Menu with the new "Detect New Defaults" button on the "Video Settings" panel in Options. Because this runs hardware performance tests, it has to be done at the Main Menu so that the CPU and GPU hardware are as idle as possible.

We’ve also added secretive mini-dungeon side areas to the game! You can find these areas randomly when wandering around the frontier.


What lurks in these secretive mini-dungeons?

The enchanting tutorial quest "Simply Enchanting" is now given to you the first time that you complete the last story quest. This unlocks the Enchanting Altar for your account; meaning Enchanting has become an end-game mechanic.

Phew! This is one, really big update! We’re really excited to see a relaunch during Early Access with all of these new mechanics, bug fixes, and updates in place. If you need us, we’ll be on the frontier!

RELICS

The Relic Subclass update that was recently previewed has now been added to the game.

When we first launched into Early Access we received a large amount of critical feedback pertaining to skills. Players criticized what appeared to be a lack of options and uniqueness when initially creating a character. Alongside some problematic interactions with the current system of swappable Relics, like players deleting accidentally them, it was clear that Relics needed a deep review.

After discussing the issues further with the community including closed focus groups, Friday streams, and long chats in Discord, a rebuild of Relics had to happen if they were going to become the truly unique and powerful skill tree that they were always intended to be.

The community was right and while this was not a small task, we believe this is a huge improvement for Torchlight III’s base gameplay; we’re extremely excited to see all of the new and creative builds that come from this change.

Because this feature would require a large amount of work to retroactively fit into a player's current accounts/characters, we have decided to wipe all player/account data when this feature goes live.

We recently posted about the wipe, but as a reminder, all data and characters have been completely reset and wiped clean.

• Players will now choose their Relic after they choose their class during character creation. This choice is a permanent 3rd skill tree, full of its own active and passive skills.
  
  Example of a Bane Railmaster. Would you go Bane Train or Spider Slammer?
  
  
• You cannot change your Relic in the new system which means that this choice is a fixture of your class; you will be known by the powers and influence your chosen Relic gives you. There is no way to change a Relic after a character has been created.
  
  
  
  
• You will be able to preview all of the skills together and hover over each one individually to provide you with more information before you make a final decision.
  
  
• Each Relic comes with five active skills and five passive skills to choose from. Each active skill has its own set of tier bonuses that can greatly enhance the skill in a variety of ways.
  
  
  
  
• Like the other two class skill trees, Relic skills have level requirements and share the same skill point pool as the other two trees.
  
  
• Most Active Relic skills require Relic Energy, though not all do. Relic Energy generates over time as long as you remain in combat. The Relic Charge Bar will be hidden if you do not have a skill that spends Relic Energy.
  
  
  
  
• The former Relic Activation skills have been reworked into a normal skill you put points into and slot into one of your skill slots, but they behave differently from the rest of the Relic’s skills. They do not have a normal resource cost or cooldown, but instead can be activated once you have spent a total of 200 Relic Energy on other skills. As you build and spend the Relic Energy meter, you’ll slowly work towards being able to activate this very potent skill. Naturally, the more you invest your skill points into your new Relic tree, the more often you’ll be able to use this ‘finishing’ skill, and the more potent it will become.
  
  
• ‘Weapon Mastery’ associations are optional passives each Relic contains, which not only make the basic attacks of the specified weapon stronger but also increases the potency of the relic overall so long as you have that weapon type equipped. This creates build options that drill down into focusing on specific weapons, which is something the community has directly requested.
  
  
• There are five main Relics to choose from, each with its own unique association and strengths.
  
  
  
                      

  Bane

  Summon a cluster of spiders and cast forth volleys of deadly poison.

Morning fellow Voltura vanquishers!

We are getting very close to the upcoming Relic Subclass update and wipe (currently scheduled for August 11th); with only a week left until the update, we wanted to properly warn everyone of the upcoming wipe, why we are doing it, and what it exactly entails.

Wipes are something we know are stressful for a large number of players; a lot of time and effort has been spent into creating the perfect fort or class build. We totally understand and don’t take the decision to wipe lightly, but believe that sometimes it is the best thing for the game, team, and the community as a whole to start completely fresh.

Our team is currently focused on resolving bugs, fine-tuning gameplay, and polishing current features, and with any hope, players coming back to Torchlight III with a fresh account and characters after the Relic Subclass update will be able to enjoy a very different and interesting initial experience than their previous playthroughs.

Everyone will get to have this experience together again; a second Early Access launch complete with Echonok, Contracts, revamped Lifebound mechanics, Fazeer’s Dun’djinn, more skill slots, new Relic Subclass skill trees, and with any luck (and a lot of time and effort) a lot fewer server issues, rubberbanding, loading screen times, bugs, and general lag.




What will remain of my account / character after the update and wipe?

• Nothing. Everything will be wiped clean, this includes your Fort, your mailbox, any items you’ve stashed, and all character and account data. Nothing will remain on your account and you will be starting the Torchlight III experience fresh alongside everyone else.

Why would you do this? Can’t you make a tool that could [insert desired item/area to salvage]?

• The amount of time that would have to be spent in creating a data migration tool in order to preserve specific elements of the game would take away from time that could be spent creating new features, fixing bugs, and providing a more stable gameplay experience.
  
  Additionally, there are many parts of the game that we have updated since Early Access launch and the team wants to be able to view some of the specific areas that have received tuning, updates, or fixes since that time.
  
  Wiping everything completely allows the team to view player progression, including balance and bugs, without the confusion of old data or issues related to bad data migration.

Are you going to wipe again?

• Yes. As stated on our Early Access FAQs, listed on the game product page, there is a scheduled wipe at the end of Early Access, which will be just prior to the launch of the game. In addition to the team being able to provide more aggressive updates and bug fixes prior to launch, the community will also be able to have a chance to all start on the same foot with all the latest updates, bug fixes, and tuning.
  
  As with this upcoming wipe, the scheduled wipe at the end of Early Access is a complete data wipe. Your Alpha and Early Access gifts will still be available to your account, but all progress will be cleared and all players will start fresh at the launch of the game.

So why did you give us in-game items if we can’t keep them?

• Why not have some fun before the wipe? Some players may want to spend the last week or two in-game building insane forts, trying new builds, or rampantly gambling when they might otherwise be more frugal.

So why not give us in-game items AFTER the wipe?

• The design team will be carefully watching the economy and player progression after the wipe. It will be important and easier to study and discern real concerns/issues if they are not clouded by other sources of currency/resources. This does not mean that we won’t provide in-game gifts in the future, it just means that it won’t be as excessive as our pre-wipe gifts and most likely won’t occur right after the next big update.

With this update and wipe, all players will be able to provide suggestions, feedback, and bug fixes while experiencing the natural and intended progression of the game. The team won’t be confused or spend time trying to troubleshoot errors and issues surrounding data migration and we can focus our efforts and time on more important areas of the game, including stability and bugs.

We’re working hard to make Torchlight III a new, unique and improved experience for the Torchlight series. We’re excited to see how the inclusion of the new Relic Subclass skill trees, additional skill slots, and all the overall improvements feel to the community as they are rolled out on a fresh launch.

As always, thank you for your continued support, feedback, and bug reports as we progress through Early Access. You’re making Torchlight III a better game, one update at a time.

Players are reporting they are unable to get to Lake Gobdunk; taking the way point from the Lakeside Clearing takes them to Guarded Path.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1949

• Some players experience issues being able to travel to Lake Gobdunk via waypoint. We had hoped this was fixed in a previous update, but are currently reinvestigating the issue.

The next big update is scheduled for 08/11/2020, includes a wipe, and contains fixes for all of the following issues:

‘Rubberbanding’ and General Lag
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1602

• We know some players are experiencing increased lag/rubberbanding since the last major update. We have a couple of fixes ready, but we continue to work to improve this and it’s our top priority.
  
• As always, if you continue to experience disconnects, lag, and connection issues, please send your logs and debug information (see above) to feedback@echtra.net with an appropriate title for the problem.
  
• Australian servers are not yet available, but we still plan to bring them online in a future patch.

We are aware that some areas are not spawning bosses.

• There is an underlying fix that is being worked on that will hopefully address many of these issues. However, please continue to report any quests that are not resolving properly, including quests that don’t drop enough items.

Some players are reporting getting stuck in loading screens.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1527

• The team has a fix ready for a future update. Anytime you experience infinite loading screens, travel issues, connection problems, weird black screens, etc - please send us your debug info and logs (see details above) and we will try our best to do what we can to get the issue resolved.

Players report pets are not able to go back and sell things.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1846

• A potential fix is ready for an upcoming update.

Unable to log into the game.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1900

• If you are having trouble logging into the game we have the following suggestions to try before sending us more info:
  
  • This usually occurs when Steam is not properly connected. Are you able to connect to other games that require an (online) Steam connection?
    
  • Are you connected to the internet and launching the game through the Steam library?
    
  • Have you rebooted the game, your PC, and verified the Steam files?
    
  • Are any 3rd party apps (like torrent software, anti-virus, firewalls, etc) or ISP blocking your connectivity or ports?
    • We’ve received reports of firewall and antivirus blocking Torchlight III, please verify your 3rd party programs are not suppressing the connection between Torchlight III and your internet connection.
  • Is your clock properly set?
    
  • Are you using Steam Proton? A Steam SDK update seems to have stopped this from working for players. We don’t formally support Linux or 3rd party programs, but may be able to further investigate the issue in the future. Some players have told us that Vanguard (and other anti-cheat/virus) can be blocking the connection - you may want to remove or review your 3rd party programs.
• If you have confirmed all of the above and still haven’t been able to log in, please send us your logs in an email and we will review the issue further.

Multiple duplicate Fort Decorations cannot be deleted, sold, or removed from your inventory.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/94

• Quest rewards should no longer be giving fort items that are duplicates of Contract rewards. For the moment, you can create a new character, transfer the excess items to that character via the Shared Stash, and delete the new character to delete the items from your account.

Luck Tree sprout is unobtainable.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/768

• We know. We’re sorry! The upcoming wipe should hopefully resolve the root issue that causes this problem. See the above instructions for getting rid of it while you wait for the wipe.

Your bugs and feedback are greatly appreciated and can be posted on our Support Center at any time. We will continue to post updates and want to thank you again for the patience, reports, logs, and Alpaca poems sent to our email.

Hello Torchlight community,

We initially launched Early Access on June 13th; it’s now July 30th. Just 47 days into this process and we have already launched the third act (Echonok Mountains,) Fazeer’s Dun’djinn, an awesome new end game experience, and are already preparing for our next big update - Relic Subclasses. Our next big patch, which is previewed below, will be our final large update prior to launch. While initially scheduled for August 4th, the Relic Subclass update and account wipe has now been delayed a week to August 11th. The decision to delay is partly due to early player feedback and we agree that it will be a better update with another week of bug fixing and refinement. After this update is released, the remaining time in Early Access will be used to polish our current features and resolve outstanding issues and bugs.

While we are still continuing to gather feedback for the post-launch period, our current focus is polishing the final product further before release. We know there are still a large number of bugs to resolve and concerns with rubber banding and lag; we have a few fixes ready to improve the performance for players (it continues to be a priority for us,) and now that major updates are not the focus we can spend much-needed time on fixing bugs, polishing, and tuning.

And even though this update is focused primarily on Relics, it also includes a number of other fixes, tuning, and improvements. One of the community’s biggest requests, having more available skill slots, is coming alongside this update!

There will be a total of NINE SKILL SLOTS and all with controller support!



I’m so excited to reveal what else is coming up for Torchlight III, but for the moment I’ll settle for this upcoming update and hold onto more surprises for a later date. Thank you everyone for your continued input and support. You’re making Torchlight III better.

- Max





RELICS
When we first launched into Early Access we received a large amount of critical feedback pertaining to skills. Players criticized what appeared to be a lack of options and uniqueness when initially creating a character. Alongside some problematic interactions with the current system of swappable Relics, like players accidentally deleting them, it was clear that Relics needed a deep review.

After discussing the issues further with the community including closed focus groups, Friday streams, and long chats in Discord, a rebuild of Relics had to happen if they were going to become the truly unique and powerful skill tree that they were always intended to be.

The community was right and while this was not a small task, we believe this is a huge improvement for Torchlight III’s base gameplay; we’re extremely excited to see all of the new and creative builds that come from this change.

Because this feature would require a large amount of work to retroactively fit into a player's current accounts/characters, we have decided to wipe all player/account data when this feature update goes live.

This update and wipe is currently scheduled for August 11th but is subject to change.

If we are gonna have a wipe, why not have a little fun with it? The 12 Days of Wipemas starts today...

Players will now choose their Relic after they choose their class. This choice is a permanent 3rd skill tree, full of its own active and passive skills.



You cannot change your Relic in the new system which means that this choice is a fixture of your class; you will be known by the powers and influence your chosen Relic gives you. You will be able to preview all of the skills together and hover over each one individually to provide you with more information before you make a final decision.


Example of a Bane Sharpshooter. Would you… Spray Scattershot? Spew Spiders? or Summon Shasta?

There are five main Relics to choose from, each with its own unique association and strengths.
The ‘Weapon Mastery’ associations are optional passives each Relic contains, which not only make the basic attacks of the specified weapon stronger, but also increases the potency of the relic overall so long as you have that weapon type equipped. This creates build options that drill down into focusing on specific weapons, which is something the community has directly requested.

Each Relic comes with 5 Active skills and 5 Passive skills to choose from. Each Active skill has its own set of Tier bonuses that can greatly enhance the skill in a variety of ways.

Like the other two class skill trees, Relic skills have level requirements and share the same skill point pool as the other two trees.


How many Active Relic skills will you try?

Most Active Relic skills require Relic Energy, though not all do. Relic Energy generates over time as long as you remain in combat.

The former Relic Activation skills have been reworked into a normal skill you put points into and slot into one of your skill slots, but they behave differently from the rest of the Relic’s skills. They do not have a normal resource cost or cooldown, but instead can be activated once you have spent a total of 200 Relic Energy on other skills. As you build and spend the Relic Energy meter, you’ll slowly work towards being able to activate this very potent skill. Naturally, the more you invest your skill points into your new Relic tree, the more often you’ll be able to use this ‘finishing’ skill, and the more potent it will become.


Nine total skill slots, all with controller support, will ensure options for more “rainbow” builds.

This is going to be a very dramatic update and we’ll have more details and specifics with the patch notes when the update goes live. Until then, keep slayin’. Both goblins and in life. :)

  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has your own fort in it, you cannot click on "My Fort".
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has somebody else's fort in it (like a party member), then you can click on "My Fort" to go to your fort in Trevail's Passage.
    
  • If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to the party leader's fort by clicking on "Trevai's Passage".
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage with anybody's fort in it, then you cannot click on Trevail's Passage.
    
  • In fact, if you're in ANY place and you click on the place that you're at in the waypoint map, you cannot travel there.
    
  • If you're in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can create a portal to your own fort
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you cannot create a portal to your fort.
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can create a portal to go to your own fort.
    
  • If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can create a portal to a party member's fort
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you can create a portal to a party member's fort.
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can only create a portal to a party member's fort if the fort doesn't already have that player's fort in it.
• Fixed cases where trying to go to your fort would potentially take you to somebody else's fort:
  • If you used the waypoint map to travel to Trevail's Passage, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the party leader's fort.
    
  • If you were in town and used the Z portal to travel to a party member's fort, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the specified player's fort.
    
  • If you were in a mapworks area that was generated from the fort and then died and chose to resurrect back in the world, it could have sent you to a random fort.

MONSTERS

• Fixed boss despawning/respawning in Corpsefire Crypt when moving out of range.
  
• Ordrak Breath impact damage reduced, Poison Orb damage rebuilt to not stack and instead deal damage based off of Max HP, Shockwave Stomp damage and Flame Wave damage increased.
  
• Fixed an issue with Sadista sometimes no longer performing attacks immediately after switching to her full Netherim form.
  
• Monsters will now react to your hits more often. Smaller, squishier monsters will react more frequently than larger monsters, but large monsters are no longer nearly immune to the hit reaction system.
  
• Fixed an issue where it was possible to trigger Strongtusk's boss intro per player instead of for all partied players in the area.
  
• Fix for Ordrak's dead-but-lingering poison orbs.

• Added missing drop and emerge spawn skills to the various stabby goblins, added missing emerge spawn skill to the various shooty goblins.

• Fixed issue where Electric Widow boss and Electric Spider champions were invisible with shadows off.
  
• Fixed Netherim Brute and Netherim Spellbreaker type bosses that were failing to spawn. This also expands the variety of spawn types that these monsters can use, which will lead to them being able to spawn in more levels, potentially with some visible clipping for now, but the increase in variety is preferred.
  
• Fixed fame not dropping from champions or bosses.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player can distinguish a Mimic from a normal chest by using any spell on the chest.
  
• Set the right boss death sequence for the Act 3 random encounter bosses.
  
• Set the death sequence for Krrank, random Challenge Dungeon miniboss.

• Fixed Carrion Killer, Singedwing and Sarge minibosses not having the correct death VFX, SFX or summoning adds.

• Increased the damage on zombies. Slightly increased the pack sizes on zombies.
  
• Fixed an issue where Nyx (and presumably other Netherim Spellbreakers) could get stuck on terrain and stay permanently invulnerable while tethering to its spawn position if the player kited it too far away.
  
• Evasion can now appear on Armor! Currently, this is functionally the same as Block, but appears on Armor instead of Shields. In the future, this will not be the case, and these will be differentiated in function. Evasion can appear as both Primary and Secondary affixes, and is capped to 40%.
  
• Fixed an issue where Legendary Armor's Primary affix types were not rolling properly. They now have the same primary affix types as other armor rarities, as intended.

RELICS

PETS

• The Aubergine Cat color variation has also been added. You can get it when you reach the end of a level 60 dungeon, be that a Challenge, Map Scroll, or Phase Beast dungeon.

Dusk Mage

Good morning frontier!

Today’s update is extremely exciting! I’ve never been more excited for a Torchlight 3 update! Until the next big one of course...

Not only is Fazeer’s Dun’djinn Challenge now available for everyone, we’re pushing updates that resolve many of the issues which have been widely reported or listed as a priority by the community.

In addition to the new end game experience, which was strongly requested by the community, we’ve updated a few other things that you might find interesting.

• We’ve included a fix that should improve the rubberbanding/lag. While this might not be a complete resolution, so far this has been an improvement for many players playing on the Public Test Realm. We’re still interested in specific circumstances (party play, a specific level, skills/effects) if players see rubberbanding in future.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1602

• More work has been done to adjust the 4k/UI experience.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/576

• Boss not spawning in mapworks: All known locations are fixed. Keep posting (Debug info) Ctrl-D to Nolt or Discord if new locations are found.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1495

• Phase Beast Portals Bugged In Act 3 have had known locations that failed to spawn return portals fixed. Keep posting Ctrl-D if new locations are found.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1338

• Failed to Login, Please Wait (for crazy long durations): We now prevent excessive login backoff times from occurring.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1105

• Fixed various cases where we think players have been Teleporting to different peoples areas. It’s still a bit weird that this ever happened, so continue posting client logs if this comes up after the patch.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/623

• When the Shadows setting was Off, some monsters did not render. This is fixed.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/298

• Fixed resource nodes that stay on minimap.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/61

• Massive Champ pack sizes that don’t drop loot/fame: These broken champ packs should no longer spawn.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1491

• Duplicate Legendary Fort plans permanently remain in inventory: Quest and Contract rewards had some overlap which is now resolved. Players should not get new duplicates. Old duplicates can be cleaned up by transferring to a new character and deleting that character. Or keep them as a souvenir.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/94

• The Fort Travel experience has also been updated. See the patch notes below for all the details.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/623

• You can now mute chat!
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/431

• Changed the Relic activation skill slot to be on the skill bar. The Relic Activation skill defaults into this slot, and players can re-assign to any other active skill if they desire.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/990

• Made force move a separate, bindable key. The default key is T. This means both "Force Move Click" and "Force Move Hold" are now available.

• Mapworks scrolls have been updated with some pretty cool changes to allow for randomized positive affixes when you run them

• There are also 3 new glittersprite pets.

                                        
                              New pets only obtainable once you reach the level 60 cap.          


It’s an awesome feeling to be able to get a bunch of these issues archived in our Support Center! We are already scouring the community feedback / bug reports at http://tl3feedback.echtragames.com/ for more things to include in future updates. If you want to send logs to our team you can do so with the following information:

CTRL + D copies your Debug information to your clipboard. Logs can be found in your %localappdata%\Frontiers\Saved\Logs windows folder. Please send logs and debug information to feedback@echtra.net. You can also post logs and details to any new or existing submissions here: http://tl3feedback.echtragames.com

As another general reminder...

Our next big update is scheduled for early August and will drastically change the Relics system, add a bunch of new active and passive skills, and comes with a full account/character wipe. We will preview this update in next week’s State of the Game and Friday Funday stream on Twitch. Until then we are excited to see the community’s progression through Fazeer’s Dun’djinn Challenge and I’ll see you on the frontier again soon!

FAZEER’S DUN’DJINN CHALLENGE

The revealed end game experience has been added to the game.

One of the first questions that players ask about Torchlight 3 has always been: “what kind of endgame does it have?” It is an important question that we have dodged for long enough. Taking cues from the previous two Torchlight games, our initial ideas for endgame revolved around ideas about mapworks runs, endless dungeons, new game plus, things like that. At the same time, feedback from our closed beta players was very clearly “it had better not be just mapworks.” The things that we heard from the players was that they wanted an activity they could play forever, improve at, keep finding more cool loot, face exciting new challenges, and importantly, show off their accomplishments to others.

To meet these goals, we have created Fazeer’s Dun’djinn. For those unfamiliar, Fazeer Shah is an all-powerful djinni from Torchlight 2 that helped you save the Guardian of Mana, in exchange for retrieving the Lamp of Marvels. Doing so unwittingly freed Fazeer, granting him near-limitless power. Now, over a century later, Fazeer tires of touring the world, and wants to settle down somewhere: your fort.

Read the entire reveal for a full background on Fazeer’s lore throughout the Torchlight franchise. Here are all the details you will need to know about this big feature update!

• Characters can gain access to the quest that unlocks Fazeer’s Dungeon by completing the game by defeating the last boss on Act 3.
  
  
• This quest will unlock Fazeer’s throne decoration in your fort. Players can gain access to their end game progression and experience through this throne.
  
  
  
  
• Each character on your account will progress independently through the Challenge levels.
  
  
• Your experience is shared between all difficulties, meaning you can progress through this experience on any difficulty setting without losing your Challenge Dungeon levels. Keep in mind that your character’s shield will always show the lowest difficulty level that a character has played on.
  
  
• When entering Fazeer’s Dun’djinn you will be confronted with the Challenge Rules on the left side of the screen and the Challenge Levels at the bottom of your screen.
  
  
  
  
• The Challenge Rules on the left side of the screen will increase in difficulty as you progress through each set of Challenge Level cards.
  
  
• Each Challenge Level card at the bottom of the screen will provide a set of Challenge Dungeon, each with information as to which elemental affix to expect, which general location/theme the Dungeon will take place in, and a randomly chosen positive and negative effect that will alter the experience for this Dungeon run.
  
  
  
  
• If you fail a Challenge Level before completing the last card in a set, you will lose your progress and need to complete the Challenge Levels again.
  
  
• Failing a Dungeon Challenge will also provide a new set of randomly generated Challenge Level card options that are presented to you when you choose a Level.
  
  
• Your progress will be saved each time you complete a set and you can return to these previous Challenge Levels at any time.
  
  
• During your Challenge Dungeon runs you will come across sets of Boss Challenge cards; completing these Challenges will ensure your progress is saved and provides another way to farm loot and revisit popular storyline villains.
  
  
  
  
• You can invite up to three other people in your group to join you. Fighting with friends in Fazeer’s Dun’djinn is highly recommended as solo runs can end very quickly without an option to revive.
  
  
• If you are in a group, you can progress together! Progress is saved as long as you have unlocked the end game experience and completed a Challenge Level set. Meaning, if you are in a group, starting from scratch, and decide to run the Challenge Dungeon, all of your progress for everyone in your group will be saved with each set completion. This does not mean you can skip a set of Challenge Levels; you cannot join your friend at Challenge Level 100 and expect to see the same progress in your Challenge Dungeon without completing those Levels at some point previously.
  
  
• Once you clear a Challenge Level after reaching the level cap (currently 60) you will gain an additional embellishment on your overhead badge to show-off your Challenge Dungeon Level progression.
  
  
• One final tip! Once you enter a Challenge Dungeon there is no escape out other than death or victory...
  
  
  
  
• Go in prepared; bring friends, buy potions, gear up appropriately (wardrobes in your fort can be used to easily swap gear sets), change up your Legendarium and Pet skills (some of Fazeer’s positive/negative effects are the same ones you might see in the Legendarium, so other Legendarium options may be better suited for that run), and make sure all of your other resources available to you, like fort monuments and equipment enchantments, are as upgraded as they can be!
  (Players should not fail Challenge Dungeons if they leave the dungeon - whether by crash, portal, disconnect, or otherwise.)
  
  
• There are hundreds of Challenge Dungeon Levels and additional updates, rewards, and bug fixes will be coming with future patches.
