What We're Working On
Clebarius is cookin on the new armor! 2/3 sets are done so far.
Guilds are nearly ready thanks to schreeder & bacoustrips! Bardcore is finishing the UI, as we have all of the data. We are finalizing MOTD and Player Notes, and then will release!
The Bank overhaul is almost complete as well. @Sprocket is going hard on this, and we're doing internal testing this week to make sure it's ready for players.
Cubano is working on the "Forsaken Battlefield" map, check out his work in progress!
Miscellaneous:
FOV Check bugs should be fixed. This is what caused players or monsters that were mid-cast to be untargetable
Subtle effects have been added back for weapon imbues in addition to status effects, which should help indicate when weapons are successfully imbued.
Fortified & Strengthened Drakonium Shield recipes have been fixed
Cooked Spider meat XP value reduced slightly
Cleanse Spirit effect updated
Pike now weight 1lb each rather than 3lb
Tutorial Island and Solitary Isles quest / NPC dialogue continues to receive updates to improve the new player experience
Infused Murkhide Leather now stacks to 100
Spider Hunters quest bugs have been fixed
Paladin Holy Wrath proc chance increase slightly
Healing Salve 10 second cooldown reduced to 1 second
Wolf meat and adrenal gland drop rates were doubled, we've corrected this
Rinthisle gathering chance was bugged and is now corrected
Lunarion Shadow Resistance was previously 35% - ideally for open world leveling mobs we will keep resistances at or below 25%. This has been reduced to 25%
Basics of Cooking now awards the new cooking recipes
Infused T8 items have had their attribute values corrected
T1 catch chances have been updated to increase variety of fish and ensure Pike is not too difficult to catch
The forest spirits on SI have been renamed to Wisps so as not to cause confusion with the mobs on Irumesa
The Leyline Lillies within the Alpha Wolf encounter will now heal the player when walked on
Punch and Kick animations have been sped up to flow much better than before
Thanks so much for your support while we continue to build the world of Ethyrial - see you in game!
