📘 Endless Leveling 8.9.0 — Update Overview

This update introduces matchmaking dungeons, better rewards, smoother gameplay systems, and improved cross-mod interactions. It’s a big quality-of-life and progression update.

🧭 Matchmaking Dungeons (NEW)

You can now queue for dungeons instead of entering solo/manual parties.

• Use /lvl queue or click a dungeon to queue
• Players are grouped automatically based on:
  • Level ranges (default: every 10 levels per bracket)
  • Or dungeon rank (for rifts)
• Parties form after:
  • 60 seconds, OR
  • When reaching 4 players (max party size)

Rewards & XP

• XP is shared evenly across all party members
• Only requirement: be in the same world
• Party size bonus:
  • +20% XP per extra member
• Boss kill bonus:
  • +20% XP

👉 Important:

• Matchmaking XP replaces PartyPro / Marriage sharing
• You cannot stack multiple XP-share systems

🏆 Leaderboard Rewards (NEW)

Top players in dungeon events now get extra rewards automatically.

Reward Types:

• XP rewards
• Server commands (keys, items, etc.)

How it works:

• Rewards are given to:
  • Top ranks (Top 1, Top 10, etc.)
  • All participants (small bonus)

Scaling:

• XP scales with prestige:
  • +X% per prestige level

👉 You can win in multiple categories:

• Damage
• Tanking
• Healing
• Buffing

…and rewards stack.

🔥 Elite Mob Changes (BIG GAMEPLAY IMPACT)

Elite spawn rates are now tied to dungeon/rift rank instead of a flat value.

New Spawn Rates:

• S Rank: 20%
• A Rank: 18%
• B Rank: 16%
• C Rank: 14%
• D Rank: 12%
• E Rank: 10%

👉 What this means:

• Higher tier content = more elites
• Lower tiers = more forgiving difficulty
• Elite difficulty now matches dungeon progression better
