- Fixed an issue where the Minor Arcana Empowered Rewards didn’t function as intended. Opening a Season of the Witch chest (while using a Witch’s Key) at the end of the Legendary Savathûn's Spire, will now properly give a Deepsight Seasonal weapon if there are any remaining to find, otherwise, it will give a high-stat Seasonal piece of class appropriate armor.
GENERAL
- Fixed an issue with The Bulbul Tarang emblem, in which it didn't appear in-game and couldn't be equipped.
