Seething Opal Reputation and Loot Buff Clarifications and Bug Fixes

Many players have been wondering how and, more importantly, if Seething Opals are working right now. The seasonal reputation gains have gotten a lot of criticism/doubts to whether they’re doing anything at all in particular, as players only noticed the +20 rep on the first kill after popping an Opal.

Today we have Content Supervisor Don Adams clarifying just what’s going on with the new Season 6 consumable.

Are Opals Working Correctly?

First things first, yes, Opals are currently working as intended. There is one notable bug – they sometimes expire before their timer runs out. This is a rare occurrence, but it is being fixed soon. The more important part is that both the reputation and loot gains are active and functioning. Let’s let Adams explain:

– Where monsters don't drop loot (such as The Pit) the procs don't occur. Instead, you get bonus loot and rep (equal to a number of procs) along with the activity rewards. That means slaying a Pit Guardian, slaying the Council in IH, opening the chest in Undercity, etc.

– The XP bonus is not affected by this. It works everywhere for any monster kill that would normally grant XP.

TL;DR – The Opals are working, but it can be hard to notice in some activities.

Thanks for the feedback and keep an eye out for exciting improvements coming to S6! 🤘

So if you’re still feeling underwhelmed by their performance, particularly in the Season 6 reputation gain department, it’s a tuning issue and not a bug!
