Full Notes

Western Deadlands

As we move up the tiers in our content expansion, it is now time for the first update in the Tier 4 region, starting with the Aubador, the Western Deadlands, and the Tower of Nature.
- A portion of the deadlands have been given a major overhaul including new locations, monsters and quests.
- Story quests for the deadlands begin with BattleMaster Anthrindosh in Aubador for those level 62 and above.


Silvane

Silvane is a ruined elven village which has been recently discovered near the Tower of Nature. After staying years in the corrupted ground of the Western Deadlands, it has been infected with Blight. The Withered Aegis have found and excavated the area, trying to ward off the Gifted and protect their prize.
- In this mini-event, Silvane needs to be purified by repairing the village structures. Tramaniel the Purifier at the Tower of Nature knows more about it.
- Powerful anchors are guarding the village - they have a large pool of hit points but cannot regenerate themselves. Destroying them will give a few hours of respite to builders for repairing.
- Some rebuilt structures will be useful to Gifted, but require a large amount of resources.


Dralnok's Doom

- Quest "Lore Quest: AxE of Dorogath" and "Lore Quest: the Hammer of Kings" now require you to have completed the quest "Dralnok's Doom (Chapter 2): The Hammer of Kings" and have been rewritten.
- Corrupted Iron Guard Sergeants will now only spawn a single follower instead of a legion.
- Brachina Beetles and Stygian Scorpions in the front part of the caves now share spawns in many cases, but also spawn fewer at a time.
- Corrupted Iron Guards in the front part of the caves are now more spread out (fewer bunched up all together).
- Torkay Madda has decided to stay near his torture chamber instead of wandering all over the caves.
- All Mylocs within the Myloc Colony have had their spawns adjusted. Gatherers now only spawn near Feberlock Fungus and in lower quantities.
- Increased the total number of Myloc Veterans in the colony.
- Harbingers and Hierophants no longer bunch up in the passageway and share spawns.
- Shaloth has a smaller spawn radius, will move about less frequently and will spawn fewer followers
- A few hierophants now tend directly to Shaloth around the chamber.


The Imperial Outpost

- Sergeant Temerac at the Imperial Outpost now offers a number of quests for level 95 players.
- The outpost is now truly under siege by The Vanguard, a small faction of the Withered Aegis.
- Enemy catapult teams and rock-throwers nearby have begun an assault on the outpost and the nearby settlement of Old Oaks.
- Wounded soldiers are arriving in numbers and have been sent to a nearby camp outside the walls.
- Surrounding roads are now patrolled by the enemy, be careful!


Skeleton Keys

- Finagle's key quests have been partially revamped.
- These quests introduce a new type of keys and the item they are used on - Skeleton Keys and Locked Boxes.
- Finagle can teach players to craft Skeleton Keys if they meet the requirements.
- Locked Boxes
*Completing Finagle's quests will allow you to loot them. They are a rare drop on high level Withered Aegis monsters.
*They require Skeleton Keys to be opened.
*If you are lucky, you can find some rare Tier VI crystals or Dodge, Evasion, and Magic Evasion Tech Kits.


Scorpion Island

As part of a continued effort of beautifying Scorpion Island and its communities, a number of settlements have received overhauls across the island.

Bridgehold
- Bridgehold has become more fortified and given a more settlement feel. Decorations have been added and lots of buildable projects are available
- Resized and merged plots as appropriate
- Small amount of slate has been spotted near salt deposits
- Bluegill huge spawn between Bridgehold and South Point has become more organized, avoiding less accessible sloped areas and more toward settlements
- New lake: Bold Lake, and Bluegill spawn available

Scorpion Bay
- Scorpion Bay has become a busy harbor settlement. The harbor area offers all tier of fish, similar to how Fabric Isle offers all kinds of fabric plants. Small School of halibut offers smaller quantities of halibut than regular nodes, this is by design.
- Scorpion Bay has become a hub for Scorpion Island. It now has six outgoing teleporters that players can use to teleport to many various locations
- Community projects: a massive buildable pier and a few smaller piers, along with lighthouses and smaller decoration
- New lake: Lake Antares has appeared near the settlement and has Bluegill in it
- The area has been beautified and plots merged and enlarged
- Elm spawns, slate spawns, salt spawns are now cleaned up and more consistent (unlinked)

Slate Hills & Mastodon Port have also both been transformed to more lively communities.


Introducing new tools: Hunting Knives

Istaria features two forms of non-dedicated crafting/resource gathering methods in quests: Ingenuity and Intuition. Up until recently, both of these used the Istarian Army Knife tool to function. This, however, caused a number of issues both from a player perspective as well for us in terms of development. The choice has been made to give each of the two skills their own respective tool.
- Istarian Army knives have been relegated for crafting purposes only, using the Ingenuity skill.
- Hunting Knives are now used for Intuition skill rather than Istarian Army Knives.
- Formulas for Hunting Knives are sold by Blacksmith trainers.

- Treasure Piles now require the use of a Hunting Knife/Dragon Intuition ability to be gathered instead of an Istarian Army Knife/Dragon Ingenuity ability.


New Trismus Square

Now that the excitement has died down around the Gifted Beginnings update we've had the chance to evaluate the values of the New Trismus Square buildable structures, as well as make changes based on player feedback. With this update we'll be fine-tuning the degradation rate as well as the xp and skill values, but also introducing a secondary award and an NPC that will explain the mechanics of community projects to new players.
- New Trismus will now only degrade every other week instead of every week, but at a slightly higher rate of 25% (up from 20%) each time.
- EXP and Skill values have changed for the rebuildable structures. Experience has been reduced, but the maximum skill was increased to 200, allowing for players to get experience from contributing for longer.
- As further compensation for the reduced experience values, and to add an income avenue for crafters, the empire has set aside coin for those who help rebuild the first major town new gifted arrive in.
- A new villager has been placed near one of the buildings to explain the destruction-construction process and world projects in general.

Server

- Major improvements have been made to our server architecture, which has significantly improved server performance and is providing a solid foundation for further development! A great amount of technical time in this update has been spent working on the server framework itself to improve performance and allow us to address the major issues like sector and spawn breaking.
- The core server code the server uses for handling timers (anything that requires the passage of time, combat, gathering, internal things like spawns) has been completely rewritten from the ground up - this will fix a number of issues such as broken sectors and spawn issues. With the low level framework confirmed to be working, this will make it much easier to isolate and solve other issues as well!
- An issue where bonus resources were not properly being gathered has been corrected - bonus resources should now appear again at the proper rate.
- If the game client lost connection to the server under certain circumstances, this might cause problems logging in again later - the serverside connection code has been fixed across all cases to ensure things work properly.
- Corrected an issue where sometimes NPCs who are involved in a different quest you have active would attempt to contact you about their quest when you completed a task for your current one.
- Turning in quests while flying will now properly show the award of XP (note this was a visual issue only - you did still get the XP before, it just didn't show up until you got XP from somewhere else or restarted the game client, now it'll always show).
- Quests that have been disabled (because Free Access was enabled for example) will no longer cause spurious messages when fighting in combat or looting, and will not spawn quest loot anymore.
- Blighted items can no longer apply duplicates when generating the random effects (so it's no longer possible to get things like "Prevents recall" three times in a row).
- The issue where Dragon speed could get erroneously stuck when flying underwater has been corrected.
- Optimizations to monster code to improve server responsiveness.
- Serverside optimizations related to combat processing.
- Networking optimisations.
- The consignor time limit before automatic return to vault has been increased to 4 weeks.
- The issue where sometimes NPCs couldn't be activated in plot structures has been corrected.
