With the Primal Update, Counterplay Games revamp the Dreamstones by introducing the concept of Stability and Lucidity. You can earn this by completing objectives in missions. With this, they want to give you more control over the loot that you’re earning. Because you can spend Lucidity to shape your Dreamstone rewards. Also, you can keep playing a Dreamstone as long as your Stability stays above 0.
Dreamstones 2.0
There will be a greater variety in the Dreamstones that you play. On top of that, these will also be cheaper to play as the electrum costs for Dreamstones have been reduced. Then there are Volatile Dreamstones. These are one-time-use Dreamstones that you can obtain inside Dreamstones. Volatile Dreamstones can be Rare, Epic, or Legendary, and have 1-3 random positive modifiers.
The Final Bosses that you encounter in Dreamstones now no longer have any modifiers. This way you will no longer run into the issue that your build is utterly useless against a Final Boss. To compensate for this, Counterplay Games has removed the Boons from the Dreamstones.
