Merry Xiosiamas PlaneShifters and Happy New Year! We wish you a merry christmas and we bring you some good news! We've just delivered a small rules update. The update includes Crafting, Engine and Spells! The changes are all server side and will not require a client update!

Crafting:

  • Many bugs with Platinum Steel Swords have been fixed
  • Helm enchanting: helm enchanting in now available for crafters, if you already possess the crafting book to enchant armors you will notice the instructions for helm enchanting have been added to your book. You will also notice recipes for enchanting the Plate Mail armor: plate mail armor quest has not been released yet so you cannot craft Heavy Armor until the quest will be available, but as soon as it is you'll be able to enchant your plate mail armor too.
  • Chain Mail crafting: we slightly changed the chain mail crafting data, the procedure is unchanged but with the fixes we made it will be easier and it will take a lot less time to craft a chain mail armor, we also rebalanced the armor pieces prices to make it more economically rewarding for crafters.

Spells

  • Due to mirroring problem the spells released in the 0.6 update were not available to research, we fixed it and those are now available. In the meanwhile we have also improved some of the scripts. As reminder new spells include: spells able to morph the spellcaster, new low level direct damage spells for azure and brown way spells. A new spell able to "charm" weak monsters, this is experimental and will be the first of a new series of spells.

Engine

  • More magical items properties are displayed in the description windows! Now for all the items already identified also display the Stats and Skills bonuses, Mana/HP bonuses and the Attack and Defence modifiers. Items already identified will not need to be identified again to display the new properties.
