Lootun 0.8 Preview: Divine Items

Greetings Everyone. Welcome to the first of a short series of previews for the upcoming 0.8 content update. In this preview I will cover the new Divine Items that can be found in the 0.8 Factions Update.


Divine Items are a new Rarity of Item that can be found rarely by defeating most Bosses in the game. Divine Items have the same number of Attributes as Mythical Items but have unique Item Bonuses instead of the usual Bonus Attributes.



[h3]Drop Locations:[/h3]
In 0.8 most Bosses in the game will have at least 1 Divine Item that can drop from them with some of the more challenging Bosses offering multiple Divine Items. By default Divine Items drop very rarely but can be found more frequently as you gain more Luck and Fortune.



[h3]Divine Attributes:[/h3]
In addition to their unique Item Bonuses, Divine Items always roll with Max Attribute Ranks and will automatically update to the new Max Rank as you add Paragon Levels to the Item. Divine Items also do not cost Upgrade Cores when Rerolling, Randomising or Transmuting Attributes, meaning when you obtain a Divine Item you can cheaply craft your desired Attributes onto the Item.



As I continue to develop Lootun and work through the Roadmap I plan to add more Divine Items into the game with each major update.

[h2]Enchant Stacking:[/h2]
Currently in Lootun you only gain the effect of each Enchant once regardless of how many copies of the Enchant you have equipped. In 0.8 many Enchants will be stackable allowing you to improve the effect of the Enchant by equipping multiple copies. Stackable effects are displayed as a bracketed number in green.



This stacking system also applies to Divine Item Bonuses.


That’s all for this preview, thank you for reading this far. I am hoping to have a preview of the upcoming Factions system out next week.

As always feel free to leave any suggestions or comments here, or on the Discord.

I am pleased to announce that the Beta for the 0.7 Update has now been released! Please find below information on how to access the Beta alongside the 0.7 Changelog.


The 0.7 Beta is content complete however you may experience bugs or balance issues. I anticipate that the beta will run for around 2 weeks before 0.7 is fully released.

[h2]Save Data:[/h2]
The Beta will make use of your current Save Data and any progress you make during the Beta will be carried forward to the full release. Due to this you will be unable to play the beta and then return to the live version of the game (0.6.7) with the same save file. If you intend to play the Beta I strongly recommend that you create a backup of your save data.

Save data can be found at: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Lootun

Alternatively you can create a backup of your save data in-game by using the Export Save button and then importing your save data into a new save slot.

The Lootun Beta also introduces a number of new in-game Achievements for the new content. Once 0.7 is fully released these Achievements will be added to Steam and any you have obtained in game will be automatically granted upon loading your save data.

[h2]Beta Access:[/h2]
You can gain access to the Beta through Steam. To do so, locate Lootun in your library -> Right Click -> Properties… -> Betas -> Enter the code “LootunBetaTest” and select the 0.7 Beta option from the list.

[h2]Beta Feedback:[/h2]
I have setup a new discussion forum for Beta feedback which can be found here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1960270/discussions/1/

Additionally you can provide feedback or suggestions on Discord at: https://discord.gg/KmpBY9g7j6
