  • Patch Message - 06 Feb 08 (the real one)

    February 6, 2008



    *** Highlights ***

    - We've made improvements to increase the stability of the servers.


    *** Items ***

    - Added the ability to wear the Spiritlight Earring in what do you know... the ear.
    - Fixed the drag icon of the new clarity potions, and changed the drag icon of the spirituality and replenishment potions.
    - Increased the maximum stack size on a small selection of tradeskill component items.
    - Removed the no-trade flag from the LoY vendor sold ribbons.
    - Altered the casting time on all of the Eron's jewelry pieces that have a click effect to 4 seconds from 5 seconds.
    - Changed the icon of The Basics of Jewelcrafting to a book instead of a scroll.
    - Added Required levels to the Enchant Palladium and Enchant Dwerium scrolls. This does not alter how they work, it just clarifies the abilities.
    - Moved recommended level from the gems to the metals in the new jewelry. With this change, moving the expensive gems to other metals will yield better results if you are below the recommended level.
    - Fixed the spelling of Runed Scroll of Pestilence.
    - Changed the weight of the spell research kit to 4.0.

    - Removed fire focus effects from SoF Shadowknight armor and cold focus effects from SoF Necromancer armor due to their limited utility for those classes.
    - The clockwork key is no longer tradable on the Firiona Vie server.


    *** Spells ***

    - Wearing an item with the Servitor of Scale focus will now work correctly while also wearing an item with the Spire Servant focus.


    *** Quests & Events ***

    - Made a change to the Bargangle fight that should prevent him from staying hidden inside his bedroom. Called him a coward a few times, that seems to have riled him up.
    - Slightly changed the way Breakneck spawns in Meldrath's Mansion. He spawns off different doors. These doors are less spread out across the zone. Areas where he can't be spawned and that have no bearing on the raids in the zone have been locked off.
    - Charming Tiny Tops now stunts their growth. But they become resistant to charm much younger these days.
    - A humongous ice golem named Avalanche has been spotted in Icefall, terrorizing the Wraithguard.


    *** NPC ***

    - The casino now gives out the new stackable illusion potions. Additionally the elixir will now stack.
    - The Wyvern trios in Crystallos will now summon when they are low on health.
    - Increased the experience given by the Golems in Crystallos.
    - Slowed down the re-spawn in Gyrospire Zeka 11%, and Gyrospire Beza 22%.


    *** Tasks ***

    - The "Gathering the Essence" lines in Crystallos have been changed so you can collect the items before you accept the task and still get credit for them.
    - Altered a few of the tradeskill trophy tasks to use some slightly less annoying steps. Pottery will make Fine Shaped Potion Vial's instead of Bola Weights. Tailoring will replace Etched Scale Stock Whip with Rough Leather Gorget Template, Concussive Bola with Pristine Leather Tunic Template, and Robe of Haunted Dreams with Fine Silk Robe Template. Tinkering will also replace the Steam-Powered Piston with a Collapsed Gnomish Recharge Kit.

    *** AA ***

    - Added additional ranks to Elemental Fury (Magician) and Quickening of Death (Necromancer) AA lines.


    *** Zones ***

    - Elevator music now plays in the Mansion elevators. The sound soothes the inhabitants and they should be less likely to attack folks that are just riding up or down.


    *** Previously Updated ***

    - Realnyna in Crescent reach will now respond to hails.
    - Fixed a bug that could cause the Last Stand Into Eternity task to fail to trigger properly.
    - It is no longer necessary to be in a raid to get the chest to drop off of the "Breaking Walls" events in Devastation.

    BTW..

    "Small selection" is relative.
    In the overall theme of tradeskills it is small. It was 109 items. Too many to list the individual changes, but compared to all the items used in tradeskills, a small amount.

        So what happens to the items ive already turned in, OR is that change for future requestors of the quest?

        Thanks,
        Bill

                Yay, Ngreth obeys me!

                Erf, nothing about Type 3 augments though, did they go in this patch or not?

                  I am sure when they come out they will be mentioned and explained a little about what they are and where to find them. To my knowledge, no they are not going in.

                    Nodyin posted on EQlive:

                    In response to the (valid!) questions about "Where is X that was mentioned before"...

                    If you noticed on the patch message the first thing listed was stability changes. This patch was a code patch and anything that was ready to go Design wise was pushed out. Below are some updates on some of the changes asked about in this thread:

                    * Hot Zones. The Hot Zones are (now) ready to go. Unfortunately when we were getting ready for the patch there was a small bug with one of the scripts in the zones that would cause the zones to, er, crash. We fixed it quickly but we didn't have time to properly QA the changes. Better safe than sorry. We expect to have a "Design" patch soon and the Hot Zones will change with that patch.

                    * Crystallos Augments - Again we have them done but just didn't quite make it in time for them to go through QA before it was time for the patch. I just spent a few minutes reviewing them on the Beta server and I'm pretty sure they'll be worth the wait. I can't wait to get them out on the server for you guys. Again the next patch we have they'll go out.

                    * "Slot 3" Augments - We just got a code change that we needed to do the Slot 3 augments "right" and they should be done soon. Previously we didn't have the ability to do some of the cool things we wanted to do with them but now we do. (I apologize for being vague - I don't know how much info Prathun and Merloc would want me to share about what's coming with those Augs!)

                    I wanted to post this earlier but I couldn't seem to connect to the forums until recently!

                      Ok, now I'm dying to know.

                        Spider Silk, Spiderling Silk, Crystalline silk, Shadeling Silk, Shade Silk, threads (both from silk and the metal threads from vendors), SoF dropped Alchemy components(which is a sizable list itself), Rock Salt, Mt. Death Mineral Salts, Coarse Salt all went from 20 to 100. Swatches from the above silks went from 20 to 50.

                            As an update the change to the potters quest does update existing quests. Have now completed my quest using the vials.

                              Glowrock - Stacks to 20 (didn't change)

                              Glowstone - Stacks to ?? (at least 24, only have so many on me)

                              Glowgem - Stacks to ?? (at least 38, all I had on me)

                              Why the disparity between the items?
