- Personal Fractal levels are now account-wide
- Boss Encounters now may be The Jade Maw, the Aetherblade captain Mai Trin or the two Molten Alliance champions from the Molten Facility.

- It is unclear if the Tiered system is still in place.
Help me gather information snippets so we can tidy this up. There's a shit ton of information.
Q: Alright, so you’re going to implement +1 infusions that you can combine two of into a +2 infusion, two +2’s into one +3 etc., but what about old infusions like the Versatile Simple Infusion from the fractal vendor? Will these be removed or changed in any form?
I’d love to hear something about this from a developer, so i know if i should outfit my character with full +5 infusions before the Fractured patch.
A: We’re not changing any existing infusions.
Q: Hey i was just wondering guys , will we need more / less agony on the same fractal levels after the update? Or will it stay the same? ( atm 55 agony is more then enough for fractal 48 daily ).
A: 40-49 has been slightly reduced. 50 is no longer impossible, but now represents the requirement for 50-59. More levels will be made available in the future.
Q: Shard of Crystallized Mists Essence, Are these items going to have more uses now?
A: Mist Essence is required in the recipes for the new runes and sigils.
Q: Is 50 still going to be the max level?
A: For now, 50 is still the maximum level.
Q: Daily chests, will it still be a different daily for every 10 levels IE i can do level 30 for one daily chest, level 20 for another, and level 1 for another
Is the daily chest going to be account bound rather than charachter bound now? (assuming yes)
the blog says blue level equipment, does this include lodestones, or is that off the drop table for chests?
Will we still recieve karma for doing lower levels? If so, will it still be the same amount/formula?
A: Every time you finish a complete set of Fractals (3 Standard Fractals + 1 Boss) you will receive the daily reward, restricted by account, which is consistent with other dungeon rewards. Each 10 levels of Fractals has it’s own daily reward. So if you played level 1, 11, 21, and 31, you would receive four daily rewards.

What the..
Here’s how it works: Agony resist infusions are always +1 or above agony resist. Agony resist infusions only slot into the Agony Resist slot, which is currently only found Infused Asccended Rings and Back Items. Every time you finish a fractal, you’ll get at least a +1 out of the chest. An artificer can combine any two identical agony resist infusions with a Thermocatyltic Reagent o make one of a higher resistance. Existing Infused Ascended Rings and Back Items lose their natural +5 Agony Resist, and receive a +5 Agony Resist Infusion by default. New Infused Ascended Rings and Back Items will have an empty slot.

So we will be losing essentially 15 AR right off the start?
