Hi everyone,
Last week we worked on another quest for the Artisan’s Keep. This quest takes place at the sea cave dungeon of the Aquathrians. There was a sea cave dungeon of the Sharkmen in the late game. We improved that with new terrain types and objects.
One of the new additions is Sea Urchins. These are dangerous trap-like objects that bleed the unlucky creatures that step on them. Hero can kite the enemies towards them to take advantage. Since they are assumably hidden and small, creatures can't avoid them like they can avoid activated spiked traps. Only flying enemies and Coral Spiders are safe from their bleed damage.
Another addition is shallow water terrain which slows the hero and the enemy but not the aquatic or flying creatures. Shallow water increases lightning damage too.
We also changed the pool model for the cave like dungeons. It seems more like a natural pool now.
Aquathril Ore Rock is also added to be mined in this dungeon. Aquathril is a metal unique to Terra Randoma. It is used in quality medium armors and numerous weapons. Alchemist’s Tower also pays good price for it.
Artisan Master wants us to deliver him a very precious gem that can only be found in a cave on an uncharted island somewhere at the sea. Our hero must deal with the monsters and traps, then find the precious gemstone. It is a challenging dungeon but full of crystals and ores to mine. Also like all other Artisan's Keep quests, it increases the hero's reputation in all towns.
After leaving the dungeon, cultists or bandits may come after our hero (like most of the time when we have something valuable in our backpack). They want that precious gemstone too. Hero can give it to them to avoid unnecessary combat or be loyal to his word and fight for it.
In addition to these, we worked on two new boot types: Satin boots and Sharkhide Boots. Like all equipment, these boots will also have prefix and suffixes and be visible on the hero avatar when equipped.
With the introduction of item stacking in the inventory, the new settlement and its quests, the new update is shaping up nicely. We are in the testing phase and doing the final touches.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. May the tides bring you triumph!
