Version history

Version	Changes
3.14.2b	Fixed a bug where monsters in the Maelström of Chaos unique map were incorrectly reflecting Marks.
3.12.0	(Not documented in patch note) The map now has Monsters Reflect Hexes mod and affects all version. However, due to bug, the map still reflect Mark.
3.9.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline. Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier. Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed GroundHallowed Ground Cemetery MapMap Level: (73-79) Map Tier: 12 Guild Character: Ð Item Quantity: +100% Item Rarity: +100%Monster Level: (73-79) Unique Boss drops 3 additional Maps Unique Boss gives 2000% increased Experience 0.5 Flask Charges recovered every 3 secondsSome dead have long envied the living. When given the chance, they take from us what they can. So we offer our suffrage. In return, they give only suffering.Travel to this Map by using it in the Templar Laboratory or a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once.) now instead rely on the variable tier.
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas. As part of this Atlas shuffle, many maps have been reviewed with the goal of bringing their layouts or monster densities up to par with other maps. (Not in patch notes) The Atlas will now be shuffled every league.

0.9.5e	Added the new Ancient Pyramid monsters to the Maelstrom of Chaos.
0.9.5	We're now biasing towards higher item base types extremely strongly for most item types. This means that it's much easier to stay up to date with the current highest item type for each slot. For example, if a bow drops in the Maelstrom of Chaos, there's a ~40% chance that it's the level 58 bow.
0.9.3f	Fixed some more problems with the beach levels
0.9.3e	Reduced the frequency of rare monsters by 20%. Slightly increased the difficulty of monsters
