Heist Improvements
- Rebalanced the amount of Alert Level that Reward Room and Main Path Chests generate when opened.
- Added Alert Level Reduction, Time Before Lockdown and Maximum Alive Reinforcements bonuses to many existing Contract and Blueprint modifiers which didn’t already have those bonuses.
- Added additional Reward Types to various Heist Jobs.
- Breach, Harbinger, Delirium and Legion rewards now require level 68 or higher before they can be found as Chest Rewards.
- Karst’s Heist Perk now only applies to Reward Room Chests. This is being changed to bring him more in line with other Rogues’ Heist Perks now that killing monsters no longer increases Alert Level.
- Nenet and Tullina now give slightly less Alert Level Generation at maximum Job level (20% and 14%, down from 26% and 17% respectively).
- After completing The Rogue Harbour quest, you will be placed at the top of the stairs when arriving in The Rogue Harbour.
- Many Heist monsters can now be Spectred!
- Alert Level reduction modifiers from different sources are now multiplicative with one another.
- You will now be placed slightly further away from the portal when entering a Heist.
- Attempting to leave a Heist area before entering a Heist Wing will now request confirmation.
- Grand Heist rewards which contain Enchanted Body Armours or Weapons are now more likely to contain higher-tier Base Types.
- Monsters in formations during Heists now stagger the timing of their attacks, such that they’re not all using their attacks at the same time.
- Reduced the damage that Thaumaturgy Officers, Security Conjurors and Ashblessed Wardens deal.
- Reduced the damage that Labra-tomaton, Labora-dor and Clockwork Sentries deal with their on-death explosions.
- Clockwork Sentries now have a 20% chance to explode on death (down from 100%).
- Improved the telegraphing effects and audio of Clockwork Sentries’ on-death explosions.
- It is now more clear when a Rogue has reached the maximum level for a given Heist Job.
- Improved various Heist quest text notifications.
- Heist Quest Items will now be removed from your inventory if you fail the Quest Contract. You will be able to get a new item when you re-obtain the appropriate Quest Contract.
- You can now search by Job name in your Heist Locker.
- Fixed a bug where some Grand Heists could not be completed.
- Fixed a rare bug that could prevent completion of a Heist in Smuggler’s Den.
- Fixed a bug where Reward Room Chests that were opened using Demolition could be opened without causing Alert Level to increase.
- Fixed a bug where Heist Chests could fail to properly lock when Lockdown began when playing in a party.
- Fixed a bug where Gianna, Master of Disguise could sometimes fail to complete a Job.
- Fixed a bug preventing Quantity and Rarity implicit modifiers on Heist Brooches from displaying.
- Fixed a bug where the “Monsters have x% chance to Duplicate dropped Rogue Markers” modifier found on Heist Trinkets didn’t display its description.
- Fixed a bug which could cause Resonators to drop with linked sockets.
- Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause players to get stuck in a Vault door.
- Fixed a bug where the Primary Objective chest in Contracts could not be opened in party play if the player who created the Heist was not present.
- Exiting a Heist can once again place you in a Rogue Harbour instance that does not contain your Heist Portal. This is a temporary measure to fix an issue introduced in 3.12.2 where players were unable to leave a Heist if the instance that contained their Heist portal was full. We will properly fix this issue in a future patch.
- Fixed a bug introduced in 3.12.2 where Isla was missing their Heist Perk description. This was purely a visual issue.

- Marked for Death, Mark the Prey and Malicious Intent can now be anointed.

- Fixed a bug where the “Resistance Modifiers have x% increased Effect” enchantment modifier affected the “Your Maximum Resistances are x%” modifier found on Loreweave and Replica Loreweave.
- Fixed a bug where shield modifiers were still applying to you while you had the Necromatic Aegis keystone passive allocated.
- Fixed a bug where modifiers that you could not apply to a given item were not visibly disabled in the Crafting Bench UI.
