- Increased the base critical hit chance for mobs in all hard instances.
- Graphical changes and a new crossing system - you can enter an instance by holding a mouse button on the chosen option from the dropdown list that will be displayed after clicking the crossing, the interface for a boss instance crossing will contain details of the instance (entry cost, requirements, loot, suggested level, levels with decreased loot chance). For now, the new system works only for direct crossings. The information will not be displayed if the instance is entered in some other way (conversation or mechanism).
- Added lootable items that allow players to enter hard instances. They can be looted from most bosses in the game. Having enough of them makes it possible to enter a hard boss from a given pool. The pools are divided by the rank of gear that can be obtained (the division is the same as for upgrade flasks): Track of Unrest (I-III), Track of Dread (IV-VI), Track of Fright (VII-IX), Track of Terror (X-XII).
