It's more than a year since we first introduced the daily quest concept. Since then a ton of items were added to the game, so we decided it's time for a new crate to replace the old fashioned legendary item crate.
We present the brand new... Phantasmal Crate!
This crate completely replaces legendary item crate. Any leftover legendary crates you have can still be opened like normal, and rare item crates are unaffected by this change. Meaning in normal-vhard daily quest you still get a rare crate, and in ultimate you get a Phantasmal Crate.
As some of you know, Gush Needle was an item solely obtainable from the legendary crates. It may or may not return somewhere down the road, but currently it's unobtainable.
So what's in it?!
For starters there are no longer addslots of photon crystals in the crate. Instead, now you get Photon Drops and Photon Tokens just like anniversary crates. Secondly we've added a complete new item to the game which is, just like Gush Needle, solely obtainable from Phantasmal Crates.
Cryo Warhead "A special warhead loaded with ultra-low temperature photons. Can be used with a certain rocket launcher."
Use it with a level 200 ranger on a fully grinded Iron Faust to create Arctic Faust. Many thought it was impossible, and this weapon took a very long time to research and implement correctly into the game (mainly in regards to balance), but we're proud of the result.
Arctic Faust "A rocket launcher armed with a special warhead. It's special attack freezes enemies in the blast radius."
This weapon features truly unreduced blizzard. Used with v503, it's about as effective as Arrest Needle.
Here's some action:
Changes are live. Good luck!
