Realmers,
The Cosmos shall rain his wrath down upon you!
The ground quakes from his splendor!
Behold, the glory of a god above all others…
Tremble!
Oryx’s Sanctuary is officially out and open to all abominable knaves and feeble ants to try their hand at defeating the Mad God’s new and mighty final form. We hope you are ready to face him and his entourage! They are ready to face you. Here is what this release brings!

-
New O3-related cloths: They drop from bosses and minions. <Boss> Cloths and <Boss Symbol> Cloths drop from the respective bosses. Sanctuary, Steel, and Plate drop from the minions in the dungeon.
-
New style of HP scaling known as adaptive scaling. Instead of a linear percentage, enemies in Oryx’s Sanctuary use a more sophisticated exponential formula for HP scaling. This means that the HP difference between the first few people is very minor, but eventually slopes up and becomes increasingly steeper for each person. We aim for this to allow smaller groups to benefit and not contend with levels of HP scaling mostly meant to match larger parties, and may implement this new style across the game at a later date.
