Preludes 14: Duelo – Hotfix 3

Runes now activate with Spectral Sight + Heavy Attack, with Bow Rune handling and other tweaks.

Changes

Runes are now activated by pressing the Spectral Sight + Heavy Attack inputs.

Note: Bow Runes activated with Spectral Sight + Heavy Attack will charge the bow with a regular Shot, rather than the alternative fire (e.g., Arrow Rain), while you have a Rune charge.

Re-worked the rewards pools from Midrath’s Sieges.

The Siege of Curlail

S Rank: Hurlwind, Emberaught, Alca’s Breath, 6x River Pearls, 6x Sappheline.

A Rank: Hurlwind, Emberaught, Alca’s Breath, 4x River Pearls, 4x Sappheline.

B Rank: Hurlwind, Emberaught, Alca’s Breath, 2x River Pearls, 2x Sappheline.

The Siege of Fort Kearnhold

S Rank: Dewelion, 6x Moranite, Everflame (Long Blade and Greatsword)

A Rank: Dewelion, 4x Moranite, Everflame (Long Blade and Greatsword)

The Siege of Mirifuir

All ranks: Silistavf, Dewelion, Espadarte, Archstorm

As part of our ongoing review of Siege rewards, equipment earned from a Siege should now better support progression while making completion rewards feel more fairly distributed. Stronger performances in Sieges are more likely to award higher-rarity equipment or rarer resources in greater quantities. These changes are intended to help Envoys feel tangibly stronger, while ensuring each reward remains attainable regardless of performance. Thank you for your patience this week as we continue iterating to find the best feeling for Sieges!
