Update 334

4-3-2020

4-17-2020

• Deco Deeds Added: 33 new items from Sayla and Domino

Update 340

5-8-2020

Resist Spells should be similar to before except now rather then moving by blocks of numbers it changes based on the exact skill value. After this gets tested it will be used to create a new function which can then be applied to the odd spells. After a small discussion with Gohan and other staff we came up with a few new ideas for Blood Items to make them more appealing, look for this change next week with the opening of the blood vendor areas. The basic idea is you will be able to use Artifact Residue on a Blood items before leveled up to select the skills you wish on the item. There will be a few other features as well.

Publish 71 - June 2020

Update 343

6-1-2020

• Dynamic Currency Added: Can have multiple dynamic currencies that can be handled by the Dynamic Framework (Reward/Consumption). This is a key step for many other system and will need some testing and helper functions as it matures.
• Task System Update: Rather than a config file that is updated each month taking staff 3-4 days of combined time we are moving to currencies as rewards. Each currency will have at least 1 Market Area.
• Britain Crowns: Britain Bank and is used mainly for items to be purchased
• Trinsic Trumpets: Trinsic Bank and is used mainly for deco to be purchased
• Minoc Coppers: Minoc Bank and is used mainly for resources to be purchased

You will also find other merchant areas sometimes taking these currencies and for seasonal events like the North Pole will find additional market areas opening up with new rewards.
Main change to the Task System is no longer will the event run from month to month, the current max is 200 but this is merely for testing to ensure the reset happens as desired. However long it takes you to get to 200 is up to you.
The Markets will be setup so that while it will constantly seem to change as to what is available and even a little price increase and decrease the items will be there for longer periods then 30 days to give you a chance to save up and purchase. This is going to take time to iron out, just relax and join the conversation on discord concerning tasks.

• Bed of Nails Updated: Once again really old code finding a way to show why error handling is a must. No clue exactly what caused it but won’t be repeated.
• Deco Deeds Added: 15 new items from Sayla
• Core Updated: New map added named “Narza”, this map will be used for New Player Areas and has Fel rules. The idea is to allow new players to experience a first step before real pvp. This does not mean new players looting other new players, this is about watching your attacks and learning what can turn you grey. No boats, recalls or marking allowed on this map
• New Player Teleporter Added: This teleporter works for players under 45 days and/or in New. I am allowing all members of New to access with the idea of the more experienced leaders helping but this is not to be used by those players. This is for New Players.
• Base Boat Updated: Boats will not open on Narza
• Champ Skulls Updated: Now allows for no skull to drop
• New Champ Added: This is for new players “Elemental Lord”, consider it a first step and work in progress
