Ardent CenserGeneral
- •Released September 20, 2024 (00:01 UTC).

Golden Staff
- •Base damage increased from 60/80/100/120 to 60/90/120/150.

The Redeeming Enchantment was not providing stable Health Regen to the team. We’re reworking it into an item to provide more frequent and stable healing to the team.
