- Update 1.1.0 - 24 August 2026
Broken Divide is now playable in Simplified Chinese, and the whole campaign has been rebalanced from the Slime Marsh to the Pale Wound.The translation covers everything, not just menus: every item, enemy, ability, zone and skill tree node, the Bestiary write-ups, all eight regions' field intel, every achievement, the guild perk tree, all eleven in-game Help popups, the world map, and the Chronicle in full. Switch languages from the settings screen.The balance pass moved every zone's recommended level, put the back half of the campaign back on a rising curve, reworked four specs and three bosses, and rebuilt how armor works. Every fight also has its own hand-placed battlefield now instead of one layout shared by all eight zones.Balance ChangesArmorGear no longer grants Armor directly. Every point of Armor on an item is now a point of Constitution, and Constitution converts to physical da…

Valuables & Legendary Forging UpdateBoss loot gets its own Valuables storage, forge Legendaries from Outfit a Hero, faster Training Grounds, White Mage and Mage reworks, new drops, plus a stack of fixes and QoL.NewValuables: boss items now live in their own storage, separate from the 100-slot inventory. They stack in displays, keep up to 5 copies of each item, and further copies auto-sell for gold the moment they drop - so a long farm chain can never crowd your storage with boss epics. Equip Best, Optimize and the equipment lists all see Valuables automatically, and you can still sell them by hand in the shop. Relics live there too (uncapped, and never auto-sold since they cost Wound Echoes), so a full inventory can never block a relic purchase.Item levels now read "Item Level" everywhere instead of "Lvl".Outfit a Hero now offers Legendaries. Once boss upgrades are unlocked, your own bo…

Big New Feature: Queued Marches You can now queue repeat runs from the world map. Pin a zone and you'll see a second march button with a count toggle: x5, x10, x20, or infinite. Runs chain automatically, win or lose; fleeing stops the chain. Once you've cleared a zone, an Auto-challenge boss option appears that engages the boss the moment its window opens, so a queued farm actually finishes its runs. The results screen understands chains too. After a queued march it reports the whole haul: runs completed, total waves, total run time, boss kills, gold, XP, and every item that dropped across all runs. To go with it, battle speed is now remembered. If you run at 3x, every future battle starts at 3x, across sessions and not just zones. (This was always supposed to work. It didn't. Now it does.) Class & Balance Paladin got a real damage identity. A full hybrid pass: Righteous Fury now adds y…
