Season 8: Belial’s Return

Sayeena has become a vendor that sells Oath Scrolls in exchange for Spectral Ash. Oath Scrolls can be consumed to gain Unveiler's Oath reputation. Sayeena can be found near the Reputation Board in Tarsarak.
The following Boss Powers have been adjusted.
- Sinerat's Flames: Increased Main Boss Power damage from 50% to 75%.
- Hatred's Embrace's Haste: Modifier Boss Power no longer falls off when switching weapons.
- Flesh Reaper's Disruption: Reduced the frequency at which the Main Power will activate in extreme situations.
The icon for Apparition Incursions has been adjusted to be more easily visible.
Betraying eyes now spawn more consistently near the Apparition Boss.
Another objective has been added to better communicate that season's reputation can be acquired from both the Apparition Incursion event and defeating any boss across Sanctuary.

Miscellaneous

A Raven of the Tree was added to the following cities:
- Cerrigar
- Gea Kul
- Ked Bardu
- Kyovashad
- Kurast
- Zarbinzet

Developer’s Note: We recognized that backtracking to the tree to turn in Whispers made for a bloated gameplay loop. A Raven of the Tree was added to each capital city to cut down on turn in time.
