Dear friends,

Technical work will be extended until 17:00 (GMT+0).

This update contains fixes and some unavoidable refactoring of the mechanics before adding new ones. Besides, we set a foundation for critical changes in the experience of new players.

The Way for Beginners

• Vocation Guides of the starter villages of Dwarrhan now act as Vocation Trainers;
  • now you can learn the 1st stage of any Vocation right in the village;
  • there, you can also start the quest to get to the 2nd stage of your Vocation. To complete it you will need to go to the trainer beyond the village, though;
• Increased boss loot drops:
  • by 30% for T1 recipes of armor and weapons for mini-bosses (lvl 15);
  • by 25% for T2 recipes of armor and weapons for Golems (lvl 25), mini-bosses (lvl 30), Swamp Trolls (lvl 35);
  • T1 enchantment recipes - by 25% for Swamp Troll (lvl 20), by 50% for Troll Warlord (lvl 20);
  • T1 enchantment recipes - by 25% for Swamp Troll (lvl 25), by 50% for Troll Warlord (lvl 25);
• Armor crafting on Rivulet Island:
  • added crafting recipes;
  • added the necessary fabric refining and processing NPCs;
  • added cotton spawners - Ruined Farm became a Ruined Plantation with cotton;

World Map and Compass

• Fixed quest markers on the map (fully for Rivulet Island and partially for Dwarrhan);
  • including changing the color to green when the quest is completed and the reward is available;
• Significantly improved client performance when displaying markers on the map and compass, and when measuring the distance to markers (compass), optimized textures;
• Improved performance and visual display when showing information about spawners;

AI, Spawners, Loot

• Mobs no longer drop on top of characters' heads - before spawning at a chosen point the spawner checks for the presence of players nearby;
• Spiders:
  • Regular and Frozen: attack delay reduced by 40%;
  • Small: attack delay reduced by 50%, attack speed increased by 25%, movement speed increased by 15%, acceleration increased by 80% (making it nearly impossible to escape);
• Humanoid mobs:
  • Lepers: some types have had their movement speed increased by 10% and acceleration by 20%;
  • Fixed missing sounds in movement animations;
• Loot:
  • The maximum quality of dropped T4 tool recipes has been reduced to make them craftable;
  • Fixed several inaccuracies in T2, T3 drops (on average, there’ll be more loot);
• Added Black Zones for bosses in Gwaelot;
• Fixed the position of the Swamp Troll in Gwaelot;

Vocations

• Inquisitor
  • bonus to Strength replaced with bonus to Accuracy;
  • penalty to Dexterity reduced by 50%;
• Druid
  • increased mana consumption for group healing spells;

Added

• All buffs (including technical) are now divided into groups, negative debuffs can no longer be applied in Safe Zones;
• Conversion of in-game date and time to real system date and time (a tooltip opens when you hover over it);
• The ability to change Tabula Rasa points by holding the mouse button;
• Token vendors selling tokens to Mennitz and Gwaelot;

Changed

• The drop rate of T8-9 frozen equipment (Fazira) decreased by 50%;
• Requirements for frozen robes (Fazira);
• evels of frozen equipment (Fazira);
• Skins that required the Base version of the game now require Knight;

Fixed

• Tooltips for powders/abilities that didn’t show the effect;
• Incorrect conversion of in-game time into real world time when filling the castle and saving it to the database;
• Disappearance of cauldrons and campfires when trying to pick them up into an overfilled inventory or overloaded bag;
• Incorrect saving of the result of a siege and uploading the Hannerziff castle;
• Buff levels that could lead to overwriting/not saving of buffs;
• Descriptions of alloys;
• The possibility of reverse transferring wromg item types into the recipe book;
• Missing damage logs on the training dummy;
• Issues with passing through objects in several remote locations;
• Resource requirements for magistrate bills (oak);
• Quest "Axe Mastery" (T2 was given by a different quest-giver);
• Quest "Another Report";
• Texts for T2 stages quests of Vocations;

Hotfixes:

• fix for displaying tokens in the token box;
• only mid-level and higher ranks can collect taxes from castles;
