• Changed Disruption resist check as it was irresistible 100 mind skill
• Changed Disruption's silence to 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds

• Encounters not recalc/respawning at times and would become empty, then respawn at once and be a world of pain

Live Patch

1. Page or report with a ticket with details
2. Keep that knowledge to yourself
3. Do not wander around ignoring GMs after making that page or ticket
4. Do not offer to sell that exploit, whether joking or not, it's not a good optic.

A small patch to further refine the Halloween event for more fun! Remember this event is onpen through the end of October untill All Saint's Day on NOV 1st. Candy Corn can be saved for next year as well.

Another adjust in this patch worth nothing is the change to the stats and spawns of a large chunk of mobs in the 50-100 range to give more spots to level for various weapon skills. many creatures that previously did not have a weakness now have a variety of weaknesses to help spread leveling away from one location.

This address a few UI issues discovered with the various changes that were made in the last patch.

2. fixed screen size being left large when leaving fullscreen windowless
3. fixed absurd video resolution selection
4. fixed video settings toggle state beging wrong when fullscreen mode changes via hotkeys or system.

Thanks for the feedback.

We are hearing some reports of the UI resetting instead of converting. Our apologies if this impacts you. We tested this thoroughly with dozens of players multiple times but there must be some scenarios we weren't able to reprogram.

This update is focused on the video adapter issues and some other UI annoyances that people have reported. For new players, the launch and into game experience should be smoother. For existing players, your existing UI resolution will be used as the basis for in game location changes described below.

• Windowed mode is resizable by grabbing the edges of the window frame or right click titlebar
• The minimum window size (windowed mode is 1024x768 + window frame
• Default new character UI revamped for 1024x768 courtesy of Era (Big Thanks!)
• Fullscreen exclusive mode is supported (video settings)
• Game windows remember their state for 3 modes (windowed, FS windowless, FS exclusive)
• GlobalSettings.ini and UiConfig.ini are versioned (old/stale settings removed)

• Hotbar hotslot items are grey when they shouldn't be
• Title screen images are wrped or clipped for some screen sizes
• PlayArea no longer squishes when grabbing titlebar and bumping an edge/dragging
• Game freezes on launch for some video adapters
• Skills window doesn't remember its width
• Games freezes when resuming from screensaver
• Video settings update their state when you change them in the menu

Thanks for your patience as we worked through these defects. Special thanks to all the help from testers who helped track down these pesky problems that weren't always easily repeatable.

Patch Notes

Event adjusts plus some bugs that got squashed. Notably, Jeel/Hothbra no longer included in event driven sieges. The altar driven Demon Spires spawn further away from towns, of which is a new one (Parian). They should no longer keep the native event spawn from happening, however, if an event spire is up when you start a siege it will spawn the mobs of the event spire town. I sacrificed this possibility for the sake of getting the patch out there since this is a limited time event. I did NOT change drop rates, nor will I reveal the hidden nature of the method for obtaining the Ghost Ship. You who have asked should quit AE and go to Law School. You have a missed calling!

• Fixed weapon use on various weapons to fit into the proper cabinet (Dirk/Axe/Saber of many souls, Vorpal Axe, Calamity Bow)
• Missing tooltip stats on Archer's Pavise, Queen Silk Petiole
• Added +10 skill to the mage trainer wands (Wand of Expansion, Ivory Wand, Sprouted Wand) and upped rune slots to 4 (3)
• Archer's Belt not marked as armor
• Ring of Sleighing not able to go into jewelry case, marked incorrectly
• Fate of Giants special now looks at creature type, should function on all marked as giants
• Added HP to Wyvern Scale/Pristine Dragon Scale
• Increased native Max HP of rune gear set and retail value

• Added portals to hell from Scarab island (requires Master of Demons)
• Adjust to Calamity Bow (req 80 dex, 30 con)
• Adjust to Evil Council Robe (doubles buff duration similarly to robe of dark rites)
• Split spawned and event spires from one another so they can be independent
• Adjust to Calamity Armor (50 less AC)
• Removed construction req from event housing deeds

• Bug with Treba quest - old quest data got messed up, added a check for anyone with data of 5-8 to be able to complete quest
• Sailor's Bet quest misspelled (Sailor instead of Sailer)
• Warlord Archer/Mage quest exp not boosted like warrior's
• Fixed invalid gold reward on Valinor mage trainer quests

• Typo in adv skill trainer dialogue "Wizard Manastorm?" did not need the ? at end
• Malacinth Seeds not marked as seeds
• Typo in item Pyschic's Wand (should be Psychic's Wand)
• Update tooltip on Carpentry Toolkit, gave it a message to player on level req when attempting to use it below 20

• Kindling should only delete one item from stack not all of them (but you can still set a stack down under campfire and retrieve after fire is burned up)

• Incorrect desc on Runesight spell in spell book
• Zerk pots/Totem of Siege are no longer no-drop
• Resource Valley timer will be cleared upon using your soulstone etc so you don't get ported out of there randomly after leaving resource valley any other way (stones, scrolls, etc)
• Female Glutton spawn was broken by glutton lake, should be spawning now

Patch will happen at 11am EDT (in 20 min or so)

Patch today to adjust the Hell Siege event probably for the last time (hopefully). This includes a few more new items to enjoy. The idea here was to make the creatures feel more rewarding and take the edge off their difficulty slightly. It is still a challenging event, weapons are still going to be rare, but overall event should be more doable for more players.

• Wicked Dice (roll the dice to be rewarded a random item; note that there are some unique items that can only be gotten this way!!!)
• Aspect of the Minion (the og model)
• Evil's Accomplice (a dagger which summons a Wretched Follower, styled after Ancient Follower with some modifications to damage and dot type)
• Spire Stone (a teleport which takes you to the runespire in Hell, degrades on use)
• Deed - Ghost Ship (this has been in for some time but unavailable. and no please do not ask me what drops it!)

• Balron/Demon difficulty reduced slightly
• Demon Spires moved out of town a little bit more to reduce dropping and wanted status from guards accidentally happening - or not accidentally happening if you are in a pvp situation)
• Reduced # of Balrons/Demons which spawn in town sieges and moved them
• Adjust to drop tables of Spire, Ancient Balron/Demon
• Added light spawn of ancient mobs to badlands cave. Put your floaties on, this is meant to be a gentler experience. Note: You obtain access through Enderic, a roguish looking quest NPC outside of Chlera.
• Health of Totem of Siege has been adjusted to 100 from 20. It is designed to degrade - please keep that in mind. Item Degrade is currently disabled but will be re-enabled with event changes in this patch.
• Added some extra security to the entrance to hell. Please do not leave chars in to monitor locations. This was stated previously in my announcement. I kinda meant it. My feels are hurt that you disregarded my warnings, now your turn to be hurt 🥲
• Spire chance to spawn reduced slightly. They are not meant to be the sole encounter to hunt. Everything, including vendors, have unique items so you will have to play it all.
• Ancient Demons/Balrons have a new particle effect to distinguish them from normal mobs. You will need to have particles turned on to see this difference.

If you purchased a totem of siege and the health is 20 or less after patch, please let me know and I will fix it up for you. Thank you.

Adjusted the chance for a spire to spawn from the system. Please let me know if it is a little better after a day or so. Keep in mind that spawning spire from altar will impact this spawn chance. Thanks!

Patch today mostly for event balance.

• Trinket drop rate increased slightly (though keep in mind, this is a longer event)
• Spire drop rules are consistent across all spires (drops regardless of party dps, like KoT)
• Issue with server spire # getting stuck and not respawning
• Bumped spire spawn chance slightly
• Adjust to Ancient Balron spawn rate in Hell (slightly faster respawn)
• Fix for Evil Altar of War taking wrong # of totems
• Can now choose a town to siege at Evil Altar of War, will be silent - no server notification.
• Small Skeleton could be stolen from someone's lawn. Those who stole it, it will now be stuck in your backpack forever. Don't steal! 🤏
• Guards in spawn gate west of Vrethpool now marked neutral
• Soul Forged Gaunts HP Regen working
• Gathering Basket weight reduction increased
• Father Berdun will give aspect of monk if player lacks it and has completed quest
• Typo in Ulthien's Grim Smile (you harvest harvest the soul...)
• Typo in Bruegel text (increases you harvest)
• Pecans, grapes, white lupin flower, oleander bloom can be stored in gathering basket (missed luna root on this patch)

Patch today small, mostly adjusts to the new event items/mechanics.

A few other fixes:

• Adjust to Ghoul Blade special
• New Artifact: Baldr's Ruinous Maul
• Typo: Scotore instead of SCROTORE
• Typo in Green Dragon Leather Legs (Dogde instead of DODGE)
• Pitchfork stats adjust (+10 planting/harvesting, +10 INT/DEX, base dmg increase)

A hotfix today to patch a somewhat serious loop in quest dialogue.

This also included a change to Ghoul Blade. It is now performing how it was intended to (similar to Thrakk's). Please give us feedback on this change as it will be relevant for the event starting Saturday. Thank you!

Some fixes are now live for various ag quest issues. Thanks for reporting these! Sorry for those of you who had to repeat a few stages (unless you needed the xp, then you're welcome!)

• Gideon corn/carrot stages no longer send you backward if you talk to him after starting those stages
• Karter Jons dialogue gives reminder to speak to Wilson Johnson
• Sharp Shovel will not degrade until we have a way for players who have completed quest to craft it
• Issue with an SoC door not opening has been fixed
• Guards in Silvest on Raisin Bread stage should become hungry after 5-10 min of being fed (some had completely lost their appetite)
• Several misspellings of the word "Renown". Title in Quest Log will remain misspelled until we patch server.
• Malacinth should count properly (was not counting fertilizer used)
• Beekeeper's Boots speed now hooked up

Agriculture Update

Today’s update is the first of many updates to our crafting system – grab your shovel and get dirty! Even if you have maxed Planting, Foraging, (and Harvesting?? You psycho!) you can still enjoy playing through a new quest line which takes you on a journey across the lands of Dransik, starting in Silvest and traveling through many areas of Mainlands with a stop at each expansion! Help save the kingdom with the power of 🌿 P L A N T S! 🌿 I had a great time writing this quest line and hope you enjoy it as well!

In addition to the quest line, which features some unique new items for farming (and a few just for fun!), we got our hands dirty and retooled the progression for farming and foraging. Here is an overview of the changes:

• Greater experience for planting seeds vs fruits (and updated exp on planting depending on difficulty; more difficult seeds/crops give more experience)
• Grow more crops using fertilizer! To make fertilizer, start with an empty bucket. Add to it ground shells or bones. Use certain bones, triddle shells and various other insect shells in a mill to grind them (list of items that can make bone meal will be expanded in future, currently skeletal skulls and skeleton pirate fragments). Plant this and dig up your fertilizer! Using it on freshly planted seeds will increase your base yield! Try to add more things to the slop to make it richer!
• Increased resale value of crops (need some gold? Get digging!)
• Cash Crops: Chance to grow some cash crops which sell for more than normal: Barrel of Apples, Prize Tomato, and the rare White or Black rose.
• New items which decrease digging time or decrease planting time
• Certain growing conditions favor different crops: Some crops grow more quickly in certain parts of the world
• NEW RESOURCE: Wild Mushrooms and Mushroom Steaks (requires level 45 to harvest Wild Mushrooms, 55 to forage for Raw Mushroom Steaks)

• The quests start with an NPC named Stratton in the Silvest Farm shop. You must progress through this entire questline and the ones following to reach the “Master” quest. NOTE: This is NOT the “master of all” quest. So do not think you have to get 2500 kills in each category (though maybe it’s not a bad idea to work on that anyways hmm? 😉 ). Even if you "hate quests and tradeskills" I hope you check it out!
• There are 25 quests in this entire quest line
• Some lovely rewards await those who are able to complete it!
• Most quests involve growing something, killing something, and looking for something. If you get stuck, go talk to the NPC!

• Check out the newly revamped Amnon Vre dungeon!
• A new low level dungeon near Whisperdale – the Marsh Dungeon! This was a collaborative effort between my son and I. Speak to NPC Legrant on the south side of Whisperdale to start this quest to access this dungeon!
• Patrons now reward well up to level 50 (then xp drops off; previous was 43)
• Added randomness to lich prince's timer
• Typo in crystal orb quest
• Adjust to Runic Priest spells
• Small text adjust on Addie's text when she gives wine recipe
• Dolas fern now requires level 35 instead of 45 to forage
• Adjust to Mnemnon spawn - added small skeles, reduced chance on undead priest level 55 encounter
• Adjusted zebra skinning quest to require only level 45
• Fix for faction req to enter crim gate under BFD
• Fix for Mage Trainer quest - Treba npc quest now branched to show which creature type to kill
• Removed degrade on tradeskill tools for new players
• Added Check for Remedy so it can't be immediately recast
• Adjust to Tyrian set stats (inc DEX/INT, + SOUL, varying resist additions/changes)
• Beekeeper set stat adjust (level orb reqs down, added stats, harvesting bonus)
• Ghost of Lotor resists updated

This was a long 5 months and there could be a few other small changes which slipped by but if I discover them I will update this list.

After you’re done exploring changes to spells, get ready to head to the frozen lands in the Talazar’s Revenge expansion for a holiday event! The Christmas Grinch has turned hard working Snow Elves and Reindeer into evil, lazy creatures – but not all is lost! You can hunt them for gifts, or try to melt the Grinch’s frozen heart and gain his treasure! Beware his helpers...

Note: The Holiday Event is a high level event. Angry Snowmen are still a low/mid level mob, but they do not drop special holiday prizes. It will be open Dec 20th through Jan 1st.
