Today's patch - part of an ambitious weekly update schedule that started with the launch of the Queen update - brings improvements to the Elite Dungeon experience, lower fast-travel costs, and more.
[h3]Elite Dungeon Changes[/h3]
In the first of several changes intended to improve the loot experience in Randomized Dungeons, the drop rate of [b]Avalonian Artifacts in Elite Dungeons[/b] is now approximately [b]double[/b] what it was before. And to reduce the time needed to complete these dungeons, the health and damage of all Avalonian enemies has been slightly reduced across the board.
[h3]Knockdown Loot Loss Changes[/h3]
Items without a durability stat, such as resources, will no longer have a chance to be [b]destroyed upon knockdown[/b]. This change is intended to help avoid situations where players were confused about what happened to items in their inventory. It should also improve the [b]overall loot experience in Elite Dungeons[/b], where a large percent of loot was previously destroyed by being knocked down repeatedly.

[h3]Travel Cost Modifier Changes[/h3]
With this patch, travel cost modifiers for resources, laborer journals, and luxury goods have been updated, leading to reduced [b]travel and Hideout retrieval costs[/b] for nearly all tiers of these items. This is only a [b]first step[/b] in reviewing fast travel cost modifiers - we will continue to review these costs, and may adjust them further in future patches.
[h3]Other Changes and Fixes[/h3][list] [*]Cooldown on [b]rejoining an alliance[/b] raised from 3 days to 7 days[/*] [*]Introduced time penalty on [b]repeated respawns in Hideouts[/b] to prevent overuse of repeated-suicide defense strategies[/*] [*]Players can now join the Smart Cluster Queue while mounted[/*][/list]
