Dear Heroes,

As many of you might have noticed, with yesterday's patch we booked andermants compensation for the removed slots from the hotkey bar. So, for every bought hotkey bar, we booked 1429 andermants.

Additionally, please note that the gem drop chart shared contains a mistake: It indicates that the minimum gem drop on Infernal is a simple gem - but that's not the case, it is actually a splintered gem.

Please find the updated chart below:
