ear Tibians,

welcome to the fifth iteration of our balancing project. This week, Warzones 1-3 stand in the spotlight, as we have several buffs coming to them as well as some improvements for other hunting grounds.

Oramond Mountain Hideout

• Increased monster density

Fury Hell

• Increased monster density

Upper Roshamuul

• Increased monster density
• Increased energy sensitivity of retching horror: 90 -> 103

The sensitivity changes will buff Upper Roshamuul as well as the Nightmare Isles and will also affect The Extension Site (MOTA).

Seacrest Grounds

• Increased monster density
• Increased earth sensitivity of young sea serpent: 0 -> 105
• Adjusted the fire-feathered serpent world change
  • The kill requirement to trigger this world change was lowered from 3,000 to 2,000 seacrest serpents
  • The original state can be restored by killing 2,000 renegade quaras (instead of 1,000 as before)

Our goal is to add further dynamic to this mechanic.
