With the Crown of the Ivory King DLC delayed until 30 September, the accompanying Dark Souls 2 Calibrations 1.11 update will now be applied the day before. Patch notes for the changes are listed on both the English language Beyond the Bonfire site, and the Japanese equivalent. There have been translation issues with the notes for prior releases, so if you happen to be able to read Japanese I’d suggest trusting those ones.

In order to provide the update, the Dark Souls 2 servers will be going down on 29 September between 7.00am and 10.00am GMT (11.00pm 28 September to 2.00am 29 September Pacific US time, I think.) This will update the Calibrations to version 1.11 and the overall game version (on PC, at least) to version 1.06.

Looks like the 30 September Majula treasure chest item will be a glowy blue-green longsword.

So, patch notes. The good news is, FromSoft doesn’t appear to have reduced the power of a random school of magic this time. Hooray!

Rather than a lot of “balance” changes, the majority of these seem to be bug fixes for the previous DLCs and rare issues with online play. Probably the most significant changes are the rather vague “Fixed abnormal amounts of damage being caused by certain weapons” and something about Mundane damage being reduced on several daggers.

The following fixes, changes, and refinements are included in the update:
