Fractals

Fractals of the Mist[sic] rewards have been adjusted. For context, please see Upcoming Fractal Changes

• From fractal scale 1 to 50, the toughness attribute of creatures will scale up with the fractal scale. Beyond fractal scale 50, the toughness stat of creatures will no longer increase with the scale of the fractal.
• Chests that spawn from completing Fractal Dungeons have had their chances to drop containers of ascended gear increased, with major improvements at higher tiers of difficulty.
• Chests that spawn from completing Fractal Dungeons also reward experience based on their difficulty. This experience can train Central Tyrian masteries.
• The average gold value of opening Cracked Fractal Encryptions has increased.
  • This increase came from changes to the Lost Homework sellable items dropped from these containers.
• With the changes to scaling past level 50, higher tiers of fractals should be faster to complete, increasing their average reward per time played in each fractal.
• Stabilizing Matrices can now be traded for Fractal Encryption Keys on a 1:1 basis.
• Some Daily Fractal Achievements now drop an increased number of Fractal Encryption Keys.
• Purchasing Fractal Encryption Keys works a bit differently now.
  • The first 30 keys a player purchases per day will be available at a cost of 20 silver and a Fractal Relic per key.
