We wanted to take this opportunity to share a content balance preview! We will be back with a class preview on Monday!

6-Man Reworks

Many former 18 -man tier 1 and 2 raid targets have been rebalanced as 6-man content, keeping them at the same tier as their original raid versions. This change was made with two main goals in mind:

  • We want to make it easier for players to form groups to tackle these encounters, as their relevance tends to diminish over time. By making these fights more accessible, newer players will have an easier time organizing groups.

  • Ultimately, we aim to expand the amount of 6-man content available in the game. The following encounters have been reworked:

  • Western Wastelands

    • Demitri Eto
    • Nemmy the Mad
    • Ocy the Rampant
    • Lady Rosaline

I really enjoy 6 man content because it’s much easier to go and do at any time. I am pleased with the change and with wanting to expand single group content.

I do not like the idea of quest-relevant mobs dropping loot that could be sold. I can only assume you feel the same, due to the glaring absence of Parcelan the Devourer here.
So please consider turning the loot of the Freeport nameds [NODROP], they drop quest pieces for the Silver Crown High Trader questline.
