Icarus Week 237 Update Expands Norex Trader Inventory
Week 237 allows the Norex Trader to sell world boss vestiges for biomass, introduces Sandwyrm Wing Fragments, and previews upcoming Tier 3 backpacks.
The Norex Trader inventory expands in Week 237 to stock vestiges from all world bosses in exchange for biomass, ensuring players can craft specialized gear regardless of map constraints. Alongside this vendor update, the Sandwyrm Queen gains a new resource drop, and preparations continue for the Tier 3 Cured Leather Backpack.
Norex Trader Expansion
The Norex Trader sells boss vestiges at a ratio of 2 biomass to 1 vestige. This change lets players craft recipes and trophies on maps where specific world bosses are otherwise unavailable.
Sandwyrm Queen Adjustments
The Sandwyrm Queen drops a second resource item called the Sandwyrm Wing Fragment. Both boss drops can be processed into biomass using the Organic Residue Cleaner, aligning the encounter with other world boss rewards.
Server and Stability Fixes
Dedicated server scaling boxes prevent prospect settings from appearing overly zoomed in at certain resolutions. Simple Building Shadow logic and transport pod optimizations also receive targeted fixes.
Why this patch matters
This update bridges the gap between older maps and newer world boss content by making critical crafting materials universally accessible.
