The Soul Core of Azcapa has 5% increased quantity of Gold dropped by slain Enemies (previously 10% increased Rarity of Items found).

What??? Went from the most valuable Soul Core to the most useless? Also, I guess there's no point in running Trial of Chaos anymore? Since the unique shield is gutted as well

With his health cut in half, Trialmaster is arguably the cheaper and significantly faster of the two ways to get your ascendancy points.

Completely and utterly devoid of any rewards whatsoever now, but definitely the faster option.

I mean, sure it's great for ascendancy points, I agree. But the CoT was also designed as an entry-level end-game farming, so that's gone now. And the only benefit it brings is like a 1-time thing

Yeah as a dad gamer, chaos trials were my main source of funding my builds and trying to stay competitive in the economy. Guess we'll see, maybe some other soul core prices will go up or maybe the key prices will if Trialmaster becomes the popular ascendancy carry.
