Season of Discovery Hotfixes for April 14: Jostled Chalice Fragments & Scarlet Enclave

April 14, 2025

Season of Discovery

• The Sunlight sword no longer scales with spell power. It now inflicts physical damage (was holy damage).
• Khonsu’s auto attack damage can no longer be mitigated by armor and deals less base damage.
• Dedicated Sunglasses can now be toggled on and off with the /flex emote.
• Players who have lost their Dedication effect but carry a Linkue Combatant Icon will have their aura restored the next time they use the item.
• A random Darkmoon Faire card will now appear in Damaged Undermine Supply Crates and Wartorn Undermine Supply Crates.
• [With realm restarts] The Scarlet Junkbox from the weekly quest in New Avalon will now always contain only one Jostled Chalice Fragment (was a chance at multiples). The amount of Fragments needed to complete a Crusader’s Chalice has been reduced to 3 (was 6).
  • Developers’ notes: This should allow players a more consistent way to get Tier Tokens and pieces outside of the raid every 3 weeks.
