Build 0.16.867

World

Items

General Itemization

• You may notice that some items have shifted their stat focus. This is being done so that we can offer both a more balanced array of stats for characters according to our new approach, and alternative choices as more loot is converted to the new system, and more new items are added as well.

Shields

• Shields are undergoing a major overhaul. The intention of these changes is to make their passive potency lower, so that more of their power lies in abilities that can be used with them.
• They will no longer provide passive AC
• They will usually carry some form of resistance bonus, often thematic (fire/cold/shock, or curse/poison/disease, etc)
• We evaluated the potency of shields and found that it was very far out of line, most notably for Tower and Kite shields. Block ratings and values have been heavily reduced across the board.

Weapon Damage

• Weapon damage was greatly increased in many cases. We evaluated the way that they were scaling up and found it to be in serious need of revision.

Armor Class

• We have revised our armor totals and scaling. Cloth, leather and martial cloth will stay fairly close to where they are now. Chain will see the largest boost to mitigation at higher levels, but we’ve also boosted heavy and light plate amounts as well.

Neck slot accessories

• Necklace slots were previously giving +9 to a resist at most when present – this has been reduced to the same as the other slots, which is +4. This was done to make room for adding in resistances on other slots here and there, as well as offering resistances on shields as more of a standard.
• Most rare+ items in the 20-45 range have been updated. The uncommon items from the Ashbreathers areas have as well.
• “haste rating” has been removed from items. We are currently reviewing our plans for that stat and it will come back eventually.
• The activated effect for the Warmonger’s totem should now work properly, and the same effect should no longer be available on the Band of Battle. We really mean it this time.
• Adjusted drop chances for the rarer gear drops on Ashbreathers NPCs. They should show up more often now.
• Temporarily replaced crafting drops from Ashbreathers NPCs with items that are the same as what will eventually be craftable. These items will remain in the loot table until crafting is available in this level range and they can be created as intended. Once that happens, the items will be removed from the loot table, but you will still keep the dropped version.
• Cursed Soot-Caked Blade and Smolder, Crush and Sunder have had their item levels (affecting damage) adjusted to be closer to the NPCs that drop them.
• Most items from Ashbreathers that had negative stats have had them removed, and their stat totals adjusted accordingly.
• A new version of the Dark Silk Shawl is now in the loot table and replaces the previous one. The old one will no longer drop, but if you had it before this patch, you’ll keep that version of it.
• Fixed name for the new Monk leggings from Hanggore
• Added a new rare baton for Monks somewhere in Thronefast.
• Updated tooltip for Smolder, Crush and Sunder to indicate the proc effect.
• The Cinder Flecked Gi and Singed Steelsilk Shawl should now show visuals when equipped.

Quests

Known Issues

• A strange parasitic fungus has caused tufts of grass around the world to occasionally glow brightly in very rare circumstances. Scholars and Sages who have studied the phenomenon have assured us that there is no danger to adventurers from these strangely glowing plants, and that the fungus should die off soon rather than spread. (This is a visual-only issue with a specific plant model and will be resolved in a future update).

No one actually has two left feet.”
