New World: aeternum Update 1.3.0.0 Downtime begins at 11:00 PM PT (7am UTC) on March 10th and lasts approximately 1.5 hours. The latest updates bring a number of improvements to combat, seasonal events, and the overall player experience. Some of the most notable changes adventurers can look forward to are:
Combat adjustment
Fire Department Staff: Incineration abilities now display visual effects appropriately.
void gauntlet: The retaliation effect of harvesters from the conqueror perks will not last indefinitely.

The Mystery Box in the Seasonal World Bonus Chapter is now accessible in non-seasonal worlds.
Adjusted Season Pass tasks are only available for completion in the Seasonal World.
Expedition and world coordination
Partial fixes of VFX in expeditions and trials to ensure visibility of boss VFX even when GFX settings are low.
The Pug Finder on a regular expedition uses only gate-only entries based on level rather than gear score to prevent players from artificially lowering GS.

Audio Settings: Added a slider to adjust the volume of the Target Rock Sound Effect.
Post-filtering trading: Items are now properly removed as intended.

Wall Artifacts – Chromatic Word Parka:
The reduction in elemental basic damage has been reduced from 25% to 13%.

Reduced base damage reduction while grit is active from 10% to 7% at the 350 CON attribute threshold.
Added a 1S cooldown timer to the Tower Shield function using sword and shield passives.
Rather than reducing basic damage, we have changed the Tower Shield section of the final countdown of Defender’s resolution.
The 15S cooldown was added to the sturdy energy and increased the cooldown at Stamina Recovery Park in the 60s.
