The first balance pass changes your shopping list

The launch patch report says Shell-map purchases moved from Glimpses to the more available Gloom, with refunds for players who already paid Glimpses. That makes the Shell route and resource pages worth rechecking before farming.

The same report says enemy gold drops increased, Mammon drops were doubled, and Tarforge smelting costs were cut by 75% Gloom. Treat these as patch-sensitive notes until the current build is checked in-game.

Combat changes affect recommendations

The report also notes nerfs to several enemies and bosses, retimed Monolith attacks, and buffs to weapons and Tarstones including the Troubadour’s Lute and Bulwark Stone. A build that was weak at launch may not stay weak.

03

Recheck high-traffic hubs first

After an update, recheck the homepage, beginner guide, Shell hub, weapon hub, map, boss order, PC fixes, and FAQ before lower-priority entity pages. Keep the patch date beside every changed recommendation.

What the first balance pass changes on this wiki

Do not update only the patch page. The Shell hub and upgrade-material page need the new Shell-map currency language; the weapon and Tarstone pages need their spend assumptions rechecked; boss pages need fresh punish notes if attacks were retimed.

The launch report also describes stronger enemy gold drops, doubled Mammon drops, and a large Tarforge smelting-cost reduction. Keep those as dated community-reference claims until a current build confirms them.

After a patch, recheck the high-traffic hubs first: beginner, Shells, weapons, map, bosses, systems, FAQ, then the small entity pages. That order prevents an old recommendation from sitting at the top of the site.
