Latest Dragon Marked For Death Update Increases Some Quests’ Time Limits

A new Dragon Marked for Death update has been released and, while it mainly consists of adjustments to better improve the game’s balance and bug fixes, there are a number of alterations that make some substantial changes to the overall experience. For example, people going with the lowest possible difficulty level for a mission will now have more time to complete the quest.

The increased time limits are especially important for those who might be taking said quests on solo. Going it alone takes a lot more time, due to some bosses being able to take a lot of damage before falling and some quests involving hunting through maps for specific items, and having that extra time may prove useful if someone is just starting out and can’t find anyone else online. As another way to possibly help with that, “Dreaming of Treasure” now has a guide arrow to help direct players where to go and some other quests have had locations of enemies, NPCs, and treasures changed.
