Summary
Dragonfire Patch 3 focuses on accessibility for the Ancient Lands, particularly for players in non-lethal zones. Small Portals in Yellow Zones now spawn much faster and stay open longer, though their rewards have been adjusted to maintain economic balance. The update also eases the difficulty of the Maeve boss fight and improves the experience of hunting open-world Dragons by preventing full health resets. Mobile players receive a suite of new targeting filters and HUD options to improve combat precision.
