Fractured![edit]
Five New Fractals[edit]
- Three standard fractals:
- Thaumanova Reactor: Embark on a brand-new historical adventure, and travel to the ill-fated power facility moments before it explodes. As the fractal scale increases, more potential outcomes will unlock.
- Molten Weapons Testing: Accompany Braham and Rox through this epic retelling of the Molten Facility dungeon.
- Aetherblade Retreat: Join Ellen Kiel as she fights off Aetherblade pirates in a fragment of the Aetherblade Retreat dungeon.
- Two boss-tier fractals:
- Molten Retribution: Battle the legendary bosses from the Molten Facility dungeon in this boss-tier fractal.
- Sky Pirates: Relive the challenge of Captain Mai Trin and First Mate Horrik.
Mistlock Instabilities[edit]
- Tampering with the Mistlock Observatory to target specific moments in time has destabilized the Mistlock process. Consequently, unique Mistlock Instabilities will begin occurring on fractal level 31.
- Mistlock Instabilities are special modifiers that have various effects on players and their party's journey through the fractals. These can be anything from simple conditions to insidious extra creature attacks.
General Fractal Improvements[edit]
- Every fractal level now ends with a boss-tier fractal. The Solid Ocean, Molten Retribution, and Sky Pirates fractals are all in this category.
- Unshakable creatures will no longer receive more than 5 stacks of the defiance boon in the fractals.
- Agony damage has also been reduced at several levels.
- Fractal level 50 is now possible, even with excessive agony damage. However, the fractals are temporarily capped at level 50. Additional levels will become available in the future.
- Fractal progress is now account-wide.

Black Lion Trading Company Gem Store[edit]
New Items and Promotions[edit]
- All permanent gathering tools will now be account bound rather than soulbound. For one week, account-bound versions of the Jack-in-the-Box Scythe and Bone Pick gathering tools will be available in the Services category of the Gem Store for 1000 gems each.
- Previously purchased permanent gathering tools can be upgraded to account-bound versions by unequipping them and bringing them to a Black Lion Weapons Specialist.
