Overview

Notes transcribed verbatim from the in-game patch-notes panel.

Fudna The Hoard Keeper guards the Ogre Shield — the item catalog carries the shield, its two halves, its handle, and an unfinished stage, and the finished shield reduces damage from dragons by 25%. See Ogre Shield.
The Sankeon Colossus drops the trimmed armour set — fifteen cosmetic variants of the Bronze, Iron and Steel armour lines. See Trimmed Armour.
The client ships no data at all about any of these — no encounter table, no NPC names, nothing. Everything about Fudna, the Colossus and the wild dogs is server-side, so this wiki can only document them from play. See the capture notes.
Items and crafting
Banking addition Unverified
Scorpion addition Unverified
Tin of Beer rework Unverified
The Scorpion Carapace line is the significant one: it gives Ranger armour its first known source. Until now the only thing on record was an unconfirmed second-hand claim from July that the chestplate was the sole obtainable piece.
Note that Tin of Beer's effect has now changed twice — the 2026-08-26 Patch gave it a Strength-for-Attack trade, and this patch makes it restore run energy. Whether the new effect replaces the old one or sits alongside it is not stated.
Combat and balance

The rebalance is visible in client data, and it is substantial — every metal gauntlet in the game and all five Ranger pieces changed. Exact before-and-after figures are tabulated on Equipment.
