Updates

Lets run one more day of tests. This time, Ive added the following condition to the rules: "% to base stats" is only granted by Spheres and quest gifts, while all other gifts will grant nothing. You will need to change their stats to any others. "Powerup" for HP/MP cannot be consumed for now, and those already consumed also grant a % to stats. By the way, there is a free potion in the pd-alchemist to quickly reset your gifts.

Unfortunately, the tests showed that no one wants to test, so we will be checking on the live server. Tomorrow, March 27, the following code will go live on the main server:

• Reverted Orcs to 4 HP from Strength;
• For all presents, HP and MP stats will function as a bonus to all base stats;

Client 4.0.4.5 will be released for one day to support these changes. I am looking forward to feedback on the changes after PVP battles. To encourage participation, I have enabled x2 religion and clan XP. Thanks for testing.

• The Mule and Hauler skill adds 0.0075% max weight per level, but no more than 15% (you will reach 15% weight at pet level 2000);
• The influence of the Covenant of Wind and Elements has been reduced by one-third;
• The base Strength stat now grants 2 Max HP instead of 4 Max HP;

The main news for today:

• After the restart, Amphoras will be processed by the Furnace via drag-and-drop;

Many minor fixes have been made over the past weeks. I didnt want to write a news post for each one, so here is everything at once. In case you missed something:

• In Plutonia, I removed the peace zone at the entrance so that players can exit with Outlaw status (the drop);
• Fixed a bug where the client would crash from too many "You cannot carry this item" messages when trying to buy a large number of items;
• The client language filter has been removed. Everyone can see the chat now. The checkbox in the client will disappear soon;
• Religious logs are now visible to everyone, even those without a religion;

I want to release a balance patch. Many of you have written to me saying that racial balance was broken after the introduction of dual-stat items, and I see it myself. However, there were so many messages, and I had many other tasks. Now I am ready to listen to your thoughts and implement fixes. If you have something to say, you are welcome to the forum or my Discord DMs. Even if you have already written everything before, please do it once more. I get many messages a day and wont be able to re-read all the old ones now. I want to try to take everyones opinion into account. Thank you.

Attention! Today a build with a major rewrite of the clan storage (bar) system will be deployed. All backups have been completed before the restart. Please take screenshots of any valuable items you have there and compare them after the restart to make sure nothing is missing, and check again 30–60 minutes later after the save occurs. Hopefully everything will work correctly, but please take precautions just in case — a very large code refactor has been performed.

• Added display of logs for clan private shops if you are the clan leader but not the shop owner;
• Accumulative recipes are consumed in batches (as before), while reusable recipes are consumed once upon first learning and are not used again afterward (thanks to Seryoga on the forum);
• Attempted to fix Shadows for PvP events (not guaranteed);
• Fixed an issue with Hero’s Shield accumulation;
• Bar and clan bank usage logs have been moved to the Shop section on the website (and in the client). Logs are also available to the deputy clan leader;

• Added code that grants platinum for capturing a neutral kingdom, but it is difficult to fully test on the test server. We will test it live :)
• The base experience gained from killing mobs has been increased and is now affected by the PvM subscription bonus;
• Religious experience gained in a group has been increased. It is still lower than solo, but noticeably higher now;
• The compass no longer detects players with the Outlaw status and disabled religion (PvM subscription);
• "Postcard" type gifts now also grant stats;
• Fixed bonus calculations in the gift shop;
• The clan list on the website now displays only clans whose members have logged into the game recently;

A number of changes to clan castles:

• The owner of the clan castle (the character) — and only they — can still change the castle ownership. This rule remains unchanged.
• The clan leader to whom the castle is bound (even if they are not the owner) can change the castle’s contents (everything described below).
• A new mob level limit has been set in the castle: 500.
• A new level limit for equipment items dropped by mobs has been set: 360.
• Monsters in the castle may now have a religion (assigned randomly according to the general rules; previously, castles did not receive this).
• Equipment items in a clan castle can drop with bonuses, but with a reduced chance.
• The castle may have a dock (but not a ship).
• The clan leader can change the number and placement of shops, stars, etc.
• The clan leader can change the entry and exit points of the castle.
• The clan leader can ask the administration, during a restart, to remove everyone, revoke or grant teleports / invitations to the castle.
• The cost of creating a large castle based on your custom design: 3000 green American presidents.
• Creating a castle from a copy of any existing location (old or new map) with custom mobs: 1000. For the same price, there are also several very small castles (up to 50 locations) with ready-made unique graphics. Ask your dealer.

Please note that implementing a castle takes 1 week or more.

Attention! Due to numerous requests, until January 19 you can drop amphoras (non-personal) or fish soup on the ground — they will be sold to the shop at a reduced price. Please be careful when discarding items. This feature will also work when using the “Drop All” function.

If your cooking skills leave much to be desired, you can make Slop from the fish you catch. The recipes are already available in the shops. No one will want to drink it, but after the restart on January 14, it can be profitably sold at the Dump. They need it as a remedy against rats and mice.
