After an entire month (!!!), a new test server patch has been released! Sadly, it doesn’t contain any sort of new content but there are some very interesting changes, including to drop rate.

The last event in KMS ends on the 26th but this test server period ends on the 30th so I’m not sure when this will be coming to the official servers. After this, the next patch will almost certainly be the anniversary update, so I hope they add in more than just some events!
