During the stream I definitely saw leads dropping there and possibly a deck fragment. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the fragment.There's nothing there that really appeals to me, to be honest.
I'd hoped that the Endless Archive was going to be a dungeon that you could progress through with random generated rooms that went on.... endlessly. While they got the need for it to be solo or duo, and I'd have had no problem with a group option as well, it just comes across as another arena with waves that increase in difficulty to the point where you can't survive any more - which doesn't really make it endless in any meaningful sense. If there's reliance on it for certain gear, sets, furnishings, scrying leads and yet another currency then I'm increasingly put off it.

Successfully upgrading to Legendary will cost 8 Platings with all passives unlocked

Over the last couple years I've learned to fear major updates. (AwA's, U35, disconnecting issues with U39 etc.)

I also am looking forward to the Grand Master Crafting stations, surprisingly. I never wanted to have all crafting tables at my house, but these new stations are bigger and much nicer looking. I might get them if you can still use them with only a few attunables fed into them.

Nothing wrong with this at all.
They mentioned the following:
Old grains will be termed “ancient ___ grains”
And will be converted in a 1:1 ratio to the new platings. Old platings will be termed “ancient ___ platings” and will be converted in a 1:10 ratio (1 old plating = 10 new ones). So you just got yourself a TON of new platings.

the master station and the jewellery thing are very close, but with the master station being BOP and requiring 6k writ vouchers i'm low key dreading getting it setup.
