Patch 3.0.2 Live - Pit Density Buffed, Stackable Drop Trading Disabled
Patch 3.0.2 is now live, and it shipped with two notable additions that weren't in the pre-release notes.
Pit Monster Density Increased
The Pit just got juicier:
- All floors now have a chance to spawn Construct Elite/Champion monsters
- All floors now have a chance to spawn large monster packs, with an additional chance of a bonus Elite
- Cursed Chest spawn chance increased, and the max per floor has been raised
- Cursed Chest events now end immediately when you complete the bonus objective (no more waiting)
- Goblin Hordes now also spawn stashes and anvils
This is a straight buff to Pit farming across the board. More monsters, more Elites, more Cursed Chests, and Goblin Hordes that actually let you stash and salvage on the spot.
Stackable Item Drop Trading Disabled
Blizzard has disabled the ability to trade stackable items by dropping them on the ground. You can still trade stackables through the trade screen. This is to resolve "several issues" they were seeing, though they didn't specify what those issues were. Likely related to duplication or exploit prevention.
Gift of the Tree - Live Now
The Gift of the Tree event is live now through May 20, granting bonus Whisper Caches for a limited time. If you've been grinding Whispers for gear, Charms, or materials, now's the time to double down.
