![HOTFIX #2 [17.09.2026]](https://inferna.net/images/inferna-media/bg/dun_01.jpg)
Note: Restart Steam to grab the update NOW! 🔄
This second hotfix rebalances the experience you get from the story in Acts II to V, puts the Dead Land Cave research quest back to its intended difficulty, and fixes a few quests and one wandering NPC.
---
⚔️ Story Experience
- Story quests in Acts II to V now give a fixed amount of experience that matches the level of the quest.
- Handing in a story quest no longer tops your character up to a set level. The story no longer pushes you several levels past the content you are actually playing.
- Because of this, the experience you get from story quests in Acts II to V is significantly lower than before. Gold rewards are unchanged.
- Defeating preparation patrols while waiting for a story quest to unlock in Acts II and III no longer grants extra experience.
---
🔍 Echoes in Stone
- Yesterday's update shipped this research quest with test values by mistake: every defeated creature left a usable sample, five samples were enough, and each examination finished instantly.
- The quest now uses its intended values again. Samples are a rare drop, not every one of them is readable, twenty have to be examined, and an examination takes 30 minutes.
- Samples you have already had examined still count.
---
📜 Quests
- Fixed the city tutorial breaking when the blacksmith hands out the rest of your starting armor.
- Fixed an error when asking Pyra for her briefing at the start of Act IV.
- Fixed the success message after reading a perfect skill scroll not naming the skill you picked.
- Fixed the Valentine's event letter not updating for players when the boss chain starts.
---
🚶 NPCs
- Fixed the fisher Omid walking into the blacksmith on his way into Jerro.
