Added eight new cosmetic microtransactions: Arcane Helmet, Arcane Gloves, Arcane Boots, Arcane Body Armour, Ghostflame Skull, Ghostflame Weapon Effect, Ghostflame Footprints Effect and Black Hole Portal Effect. There's also a bundle that contains all four Arcane skins.

Added four new unique items, two of which are designed by our supporters.

Added two new achievements: Identity Corruption and Full Clear: Apex of Sacrifice.

Added 3D art for the following items: Jaws of Agony, Saffell's Frame, Spring Leaf, Kaltenhalt, Titucius' Span, Voidhome and the Race Season Eight alternate art rewards.

We updated and improved the appearance of Chatters.

Balance:

Due to the slow cast speed of Ethereal Knives, we have made it cast 25% faster. Its damage has been reduced by 20% to compensate. We have reduced its mana cost so that it costs the same per second as before. The Rogue Exile Ash Lessard and the Corrupted Area boss Haviri, Vaal Metalsmith are also affected by this change.

Most monsters now hit more frequently for less damage with Ball Lightning. Multiple projectiles from the same Ball Lightning volley use cannot simultaneously hit. Vessel of the Vaal has not been affected by these changes.

We have reduced the Dodge and Spell Dodge from Vaal Grace. The duration has been increased.

We have increased the damage of Raging Spirits. At gem level 1 it is 21% higher, which scales down to no increase at gem level 8 and 9. The damage then scales up at higher levels to 66% more damage at gem level 20.

We have increased the spawn speed of the Stream of Monsters mod on ambush chests.
