The Veil Updates and Patch Tracker

VEILOWEEN is live. The Halloween update went out on October 10 at 18:00 UTC with 23 limited event items, the new Vampire race, the Haunted Keep trial and about thirty balance changes, and two hotfixes, v2.0.1 and v2.0.2, followed that evening. The event runs to November 7. Before it, the game had gone almost four weeks without a build. Its launch week had five builds in three days. The content update went out on September 12 at 17:00 UTC with the megaboss, Star Fruits, 21 new accessories and a prestige rebalance; v1.1.1 followed at 22:03 with summon and class corrections; v1.1.2 landed on September 13 at 10:37 and removed The Headless Behemoth and every blood effect in the game to keep Roblox from rating the experience 18+; v1.1.3 arrived on September 14 with seven repairs and no balance changes; and a single unnumbered line that night removed blood from shackles. Along the way the three launch codes expired and two new ones were issued. The public description caught up to Beta v1.1.3 after sitting on Beta v1.0.0 through the first three builds, and by September 27 it had dropped the number and read only Version: Beta.

VEILOWEEN: the Halloween update

The developer, e.lee, published the VEILOWEEN update log at 17:30 UTC on October 10 and the update went live half an hour later. The official Roblox event runs from October 10, 18:00 UTC to November 7, 19:00 UTC. The log carries no version number; the two hotfixes that followed are v2.0.1 and v2.0.2, so this page calls it v2.0. Everything below is from that log. For how to play the event (the Witch's quest, the three statues, the Haunted Keep and its boss drops) see the VEILOWEEN event guide.

The event

Candy and event items come from killing the new VEILOWEEN enemies, from daily event quests and from enduring the Haunted Keep trial. The log lists:

• 23 new limited event weapons, items, outfits and accessories
• several VEILOWEEN variants of existing enemies, and 7 new event mobs
• 2 new event bosses and 1 new event megaboss
• 1 new event race

The log does not name the event items, bosses, megaboss or event race. The launch post sends players to the Witch of Veil-O-Ween for details. Two new badges appeared with the update, WANDERER FELLED and WAVE 15 SURVIVED; the log does not say what earns them.

New permanent content

Alongside the limited items, the update adds content that is not tied to the event:

• 1 new regular boss, not named in the log.
• 5 weapons, items and gems: Delirium’s Reach, Staff Of The Hive, Fly Gun and Magic Mirror (purple), and Constellation Prism (red).
• 6 accessories: Derelict’s Helmet, Derelict’s Chestplate, Derelict’s Leggings, Viridian Crystal and Forbidden Talisman (blue), and Halo (red).
• 1 regular race, Vampire (purple). It is a regular race rather than the event race, and is not yet on our race list.
• Character customization: Veilborne eye colour, one new facial marking and one new goblin face.

Changes

• You can set your spawn at any unlocked waypoint, and waypoints are now listed alphabetically.
• New players get 2 hours of PvP protection, counted only while in game. Friendly PvP arenas still work.
• Clan leaders can promote, demote and kick offline members, and officers can invite.
• Summons spawned by enemies no longer drop ichor or items.
• Training dummies cannot be placed during combat.
• Veilborne has a new racial passive.
• Enchants show their rarity in the information panel, and passives are split in two in the inventory.
• New boss health bar and boss spawn message, and a Performance mode setting that cuts effects and graphics for weaker devices.

Balancing

The biggest single change is a 10% damage buff to every melee weapon. The rest, as the log lists it:

• Buffs: Angry Mask loses its resistance penalty. Sleeping Mask speed penalty −15% to −10%. Shadowbeam Staff 9 to 10 damage, Witchlight 6 to 7, Magical Harp 6 to 7 with stamina cost 12 to 10, Mourning Wake 12 to 15. Seraphim T ability 5 to 7 and R ability 4 to 5. Skeleton race resistance penalty −10% to −5%. Mushling decompose regeneration +25% to +50%. Veilborne’s Nightfall aura now gives +15% universal damage and +15% speed. Iridescent Gem status cooldown 0.5s to 0.1s, and its effect chance 20% to 30%. Jump i-frames 0.5s to 0.6s. Sky Scepter heal 2.5% to 4%, minimum 2 to 3. Dice damage boost up to +50% from +25%. Heaven’s Lament sentry 15 to 25 damage. Staff Of Voidmending U ability always spawns 2 starving warriors. Choir Of Flies 4 to 6 damage. Reaping Lunge 25 to 30 damage, cooldown 16s to 11s. Wraith Phase chance 5% to 10%. Ring of Retribution loses its −25% fire resistance.
• Nerfs: Deadweight is now −50% attack speed and +25% damage. Rampaging Ribcage now boosts melee damage only, with a −10% speed penalty instead of −20%, and its drop chance falls from 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 3,000. Vampiric Talisman gets −10% universal damage, and no longer heals from Thorns. Rosespike Staff 15 to 12 damage, Melting Pot 10 to 7. Chaos Stone is now −90% cast cooldown and −90% cast damage, with −5% resistance added. Laughing Mask now gives −5% resistance. Armageddon critical and T ability 4 to 3 damage. Gladiator Aura boosts melee damage only. Cell Of Life rare drops are slightly rarer. Thorns damage is halved and can no longer trigger effects such as critical hits. Lucky Coin luck 200% to 150%. The jump multiplier is halved in combat.

Fixes

About thirty fixes, most of them for mobile: a movable, resizable button layout, a Pick Up button, spells aimed at the last tap, and text that no longer runs off the screen. An ATTACK button was added too, then removed by v2.0.2 the same evening. The log also patches an item duplication exploit, lets quest turn-ins accept enhanced or dyed copies (plain copies are used first, and locked items are never taken), makes Attune actually reduce cast cooldowns (−5% / −10%), stops your attacks applying statuses or enchants to your own or your party’s summons, reworks Weeping Mask’s purgatory bomb passive, and fixes lifesteal from training dummies, players losing their clan on join, outfit swaps deleting the old outfit, and dropped items vanishing early.

Before launch

VEILOWEEN was announced on September 23 with the teaser above. It absorbed the update that had been due in mid-September, which the developer said on September 17 would be merged into the Halloween event because he was moving into college. On October 5 he posted "VEILOWEEN WILL RELEASE ON.. OCTOBER 10TH", and on October 8 he linked the official Roblox event.

Launch and patch timeline

What to recheck after joining

• Code redemption: a publisher listing can lag behind a silent expiration.
• Enchant price: the release-week value changed once already.
• Ancient Bones: old route videos predate the waypoint and spawn adjustment.
• Boss loot: contribution-gated chests can make an older group-fight video misleading.
• Class numbers: recorded costs and effects remain beta values unless the trainer currently shows them.

Where new information is checked

The developer's patch notes are posted in the updates channel of the official Discord, which is where the v1.1.0, v1.1.1, v1.1.2 and v1.1.3 blocks above were read. The official Roblox experience is the first-party source for the public version, developer identity and update timestamp. The community links page records the currently active Discord invite and the limitations of the old Trello board.
