Bienvenue sur  ! | Tous les sites de JeuxOnLine... |
Ce premier patch sur Blight de l'année 2012 propose des modifications très variées. Le travail réalisé est surtout la refonte partielle de certaines zones et de leur spawns (monstres et resources pour l'artisanat). Les habituels correctifs sont aussi de la partie.
Acul / Southeast Trandalar
- Added flavor to the land east and northeast of Acul with more resource types and some mobs.
- Glowing Essence Residue can now be found east of Acul within the Oak Forest.
- Redrew the oak and dark iron regions east and northeast of Acul. The oak forest gradually gets heavier the further northeast from Acul you travel.
- Redrew the Treant and Wisp spawns east and northeast of Acul. They are no longer linked and have a more gradual spawn rate.
- Iron no longer spawns east of Acul (Note: Dark Iron continues to spawn).
Additions- Jeremiah Trueheart on New Trismus now offers an introductory quest to explain the concept of trophies. In addition, he now offers four different trophy quests for adventurers levels 1 to 10.

- Boulder Golems now count as rich nodes for mining/quarrying (Bronze, Iron, Marble, Mithril, Obsidian, Platinum and Travertine).
- Previously the shared timer for melee abilities were categorized into three types: Power, Emergency and Multi. We've now created a fourth timer category for called Utility. For Warrior, the following abilities have been modified to use this new timer category: Cripple (was Multi), Rend Armor (was Power), and Negate Attack (was Power).
- Balit will now give out a crystal called "Balit's Signet Stone" instead of a Ring to Dragons. This crystal is an Armor crystal and boosts the same resistances as the ring.
- Balit will now offer to exchange his Signet Ring for a Signet Stone to Dragons who have the ring.

- Improved the respawn rate of Stygian Scorpions within Dralnok's Doom.
- Travel Tokens are no longer attuned.

- Adjusted the quantity and respawn rate of Granite Golems near Drift Point. Granite Golems now also spawn at the southeast granite site.
- Enlarged a majority of the plots in Harro. A few of the plots are too bound by other plots, mountain-sides, or roads to be expanded. And a few others are set at angles (instead of oriented north-south) which prevents them from being expanded properly.
- Oak and Oak Treants now spawn between Papa and Carmo on Trams Isle. Glowing Wisps now spawn in greater abundance than before.
- Increased the size of plots in the communities of: Mahagra North, Frostwatch, Winter's Peak, Desert's Edge, Drift Point, Shelter Pass, Wolf's Paw, Aughundell West, Granite Hills, Old Oaks, Kion Shore, North Parsinia, Parsinia, Acul, Valley of Repose, Respose Mountain, and Katja's Shadow.

- The Spirit of Dralnok will no longer spawn followers.

Lesser Aradoth RevampThe goal of this change was to revamp the island to create a better flow for newer players that arrive from New Trismus. The player's experience on the island begins in Kion and progresses along a logical path down through Parsinia and Sslanis before ending at Lower Bridgeview and the link to the continent and Tier 2.
- Sand Beetles are now called Loricatus Beetles. (Note they are left as being Sand Beetles in their keyword and as the name used in the Monster Template for easier finding of them later.)
- The smallest sand beetles (levels 1 to 5) have been removed from Kion.
- Loricatus Beetles are now found in the following level ranges: "Normal" beetles are lvls 9-10 and are found around Kion. Large beetles are lvl 15-16 and Giant beetles are lvl 21-23. (Tremendous beetles were renamed, but they did not change in level at this time.)
- Wild Gruoks have had their AI modified to cause the following behavior: Gruok Sows will now have one or two grulets which they spawn in combat and will follow them. Grouks will now ask for and give aid to any other gruok around them. (Note that this does NOT apply to the Wild Grulets which spawn on New Trismus.) Note that the radius for asking/giving aid is set to very small at this time and will require testing.
- Wild Grouks on Lesser Aradoth have had their levels modified. The Gruoks will now spawn at levels 10-11, the Gruok Sows will spawn at 12-13, and Bessie will spawn at level 14.
- Forest Crawlers have been updated in the following ways: The "workers" have been removed. Soldiers no longer have quite as large an agro radius, but will still give aid to other spiders in the area. The breeders will spawn hatchlings, though in small quantities. The levels of all Forest Crawlers have been adjusted to fit better into the area they are found. The Huntress and Blightbite have also had their agro radius decreased.
- Greymane wolves now will spawn in just two types. Greymane Seekers are slightly lower levels and will both ask for and give aid. Greymane Wolves will give aid to any nearby wolf and are slightly higher in level. There is one named Alpha Wolf, Na Nuk, that will spawn multiple other wolves as he wanders his patrol region and is the highest level.
- Garnet Golems will now spawn in levels 14 to 16, with a single named golem slightly higher. Old Man Garnet will now spawn with the other Garnet Golems on Lesser Aradoth rather than on New Trismus.
- Cedar Treant Saplings now only exist on New Trismus and are found at lvls 5 to 7.

- Bronze Golems are now slightly higher in level.
- Jungle Crawlers are now much higher in level. Jungle Crawler Hatchlings no longer spawn on their own, they are only spawned by the Jungle Crawler Breeders.
- Sand Ogres and Pygmies have been adjusted. (Internal Note: Sand Pygmies which spawn on New Trismus are know as Sand Pygmies in the database. Sand Pygmies that spawn on Lesser Aradoth are known as Sand Ogre Pygmies so that we can distinguish them easier.)
- Water Elementals have had their levels increased slightly.
- Skeleton and Mummy's have been renamed and given the name prefix of Risen or Unclean.
- Lt Khar is now level 10 instead of 12 to 14.
- The South Gate of Kion has come under sustained attack by the undead under Lt Khar.

Mithril CanyonsA revamp of the Mithril Canyons region was undertaken in an effort to improve the consistency of resource and monster spawns as well as to remove the linked nature of all of the previous spawns. The canyon has been divided into sections - SW, S, SE, NW, N, and NE. Spawns between sections are not linked with one another.
- Redrew all of the resource and spawn regions within the canyons. Resource and spawn regions are no longer linked to each other. This will improve the rate of spawn as well as the consistency.

Bloodmage
The goal of these changes was to attempt to address a school that hasn't had much (if any) attention since launch.

- Some of the NPC's from previous Fall Festivals (both from around Dalimond and Aughundell) have been moved to their new location on New Brommel. More to come from these NPC's in a future update, but content from previous years' festivals is available now via these NPC's.

- Increased the number of Thornwood trees that spawn north and east of Harro.
- Split the Radiant Wisp spawns near the Steelsilk so they aren't linked with the spawns in the Thornwood and spawn in greater quantities.

The Yew Forest has undergone a massive revamp with this update. The regions of all resources and mobs around the forest have been dramatically redrawn and improved. Trees no longer spawn on the roads and the size of the resources and mobs increases the further east you proceed from Mithril's Anvil. The center of the Yew Forest is now known as the Grandfather Grove and has had its ambiance dramatically improved. In addition, 11 new quests that tell the story of Attios the Fallen Elven General, the Bruttien Family who live in the Yew Forest, two named mobs, a socketable Tier 5 crystal (one version for Dragons and another for bipeds), and the capability for Alchemists to create Crystal Vials out of Azulyte have been added.
