  • Some old Lamannia documentations and the Forge UI states tier 3 ingredients as 'Souls', not 'Phlogistons,' but the latter is the proper name.
  • On Lamannia and on initial Update 21 release, the raid end chests had Astral Shard "Reroll" function enabled unlike previous raids. This has been corrected with a Hotfix.
