Compass - Finds location of A player who can be attacked for religion conflict or clan war, in the same region as your character. Specifies the length of the route and direction of movement to the oponent. Oponent will not be notified about the use of the compass.
Anti-locator will protect you against compasses. If the compass has not found a potential enemy in the region, the character gets the effect of "Depression" for 10 seconds, which does not allow to use the compass again.
Magnet - Allows you to remove the effect of "Light Steps" of the potential oponent in religion conflict or clan war. If you are placing the magnet on the squere where the trap is placed, the trap will work on you and magnet wont take any effect. The magnet will be removed, if other players will set a trap in the same squere as your magnet. Every subsequent installation of the magnet will require more devices, like instalating traps. Magnet have effect while the character is online. Server restart, logging off the game, setting traps in the same location, removes the magnet.
Platinum Hunters Blueprint – Allows you to increase the effect time of traps. To do this, you should enter the laboratory, put a trap and the blueprint and keep same type of traps in inventory what you want to be united for the time lenght of the trap effect. Time of the final trap, will be equal to the summ time of all united traps.
Please note, that all traps of this type that are in your inventory will be merged as a result of this operation.
* Now during the fight you arent able to pick anything from the ground. For "Autoloot" it doesnt apply.
* Removing tranquilization effect, and trying to flee from the fight, character will try to flee only on the second round.
* We removed penalty on simple and dark magical items. Now these items are more powerfull. Please pay attention on the magic wands.
* Now personal artefacts and craft items, can have same bonuss/attribute on all slots. FYI before that this was possible only for jewellery items like rings and chain.
