Server Changelog

• Bugfix: A tamed creature will no longer lose its pregnancy status by going offline with its player.
• Bugfix: More fire and light related fixes
  • Kilns and smelters will no longer leave behind duplicate fire effects when the fire goes out.
  • Fixed a small inconsistency in the colours of some lights under some circumstances, such as lighting the item and then pushing or placing it.
  • Refueling a fire at low fuel levels will now work properly instead of sending a message that the fire is not lit (even though it is).
  • The recently-introduced dynamic furnace lights used for ovens, forges, and smelters will once again have flickering and sound like other fires.
  • Various minor changes to address some inconsistencies with how lighting is added to or removed from items. This should fix any remaining cases of items leaving lighting effects behind even after being snuffed/extinguished for any reason.
  • Turning an item that is placed on another item will no longer cause it to lose its light effects or colour.
• Bugfix: Skill journal tiers will now be visible immediately when getting 20 in a related skill, instead of being invisible until the next login.
• Change: Flaming skulls will now be fueled by candles, like candelabras, and will decay if left off-deed.
• Bugfix: You can no longer drag items into the main bulk container unit (excluding shelves).

November’s Monthly Skin!

November’s “Sigvard’s Wrath” skin delivers bone-chilling fear to all of your enemies! Available through the month of November in the Marks Shop at any settlement token, this skin can be applied to any Huge Axe to give it a unique and fancy look!

• Bugfix: Ebony/molten speed bonus now applies to hitched animals
• Bugfix: New Necklaces from treasure hunting are now improvable.
• Bugfix: Unique skulls are now decorations.
  • Unique hats: Crown of the Troll King and Goblin Leader War Bonnet will now no longer show leather as the tool required to imp them when viewed in inventory.
• Bugfix:  It is no longer possible to open dirty caskets/sealed bottles that you did not drop/place.
• Change: Archaeology and Restoration Rebalance
  • Getting runes will now be slightly easier when combining archaeology fragments.
  • The following actions now reduce the chance to receive runes:
    • Using the incorrect tool on restoration steps
    • Failing an identify action
    • Failing a combine action
  • Instantly identified fragments will now give a better chance of runes.
  • Wood fragments will now say wood instead of birchwood.
  • When combining a basic metal item the chance of iron is now improved at higher levels.
  • When combining an alloy metal item the chance of steel is now improved at higher levels.
  • When getting runes or casts on combined archaeology items it will now consider an item a tool before a weapon if it is considered both. This prevents tools that are also weapons from getting only weapon runes and casts.
  • Rebalanced casts on combined archaeology items to be considerably higher power on average and based on restoration skill.
  • The odds of getting a spell cast on a restored item have been roughly cut in half.
  • It is now possible to get 5 runes where a bug prevented this in the past.
  • A hatchet is now considered a tool and will get tool runes.
  • A bush will no longer detract from a tile’s archaeology value.
  • The top tier of fragments has been made possible to achieve by easing the requirements a bit.
  • A bug preventing sand from becoming investigable more than once per server restart has been fixed.
  • Enchantment success runes now reduce difficulty instead of increasing bonus.
  • Mend runes are now any target
  • Tool tips will now show rune names and abbreviations
  • All bulk items will not get runes or casts so they can be stored easily
  • Planks have been added to the drop table
  • Arrow shafts have been removed from the drop table
  • Partially identified fragments will now better reflect what they are (wooden, metal, weapon, etc)
  • You can now smelt items with enchantments and runes by confirming the action via a popup.
  • Mini tokens will now indicate direction to their associated deed.
  • Tin ore no longer shows as a metal fragment on second stage of investigation
  • Transferring servers with unidentified fragments should no longer make them revert to iron and steel.
  • Crude shovels will no longer be wooden fragments
  • Moon metal fragment drop rate in caches has been doubled
• Change: Difficulty and quality formulas for various nature actions have been changed to use your entire skill value instead of only the whole number portion.
  • For example, at 99.5 skill, quality and difficulty will be based on that value of 99.5 instead of just 99. This will usually result in slightly higher-quality results when foraging, botanizing, harvesting from trellises, picking pottery planters, and searching for fishing items (grubs, wurms, bark, and twigs).
• Change: The “Improve an Armour Piece to 80QL” journal goal can now be completed by improving a shield to 80QL, not just body armour. The goal’s text has been changed to reflect this.
• Change: Ore ql is no longer capped at 99.9999 and can now be mined at 100 with rare+ or imbued tools if you have 100 skill.
• Change: The  /me chat command no longer works in Help related channels.
• Change: Updated time until able to breed timer to be accurate and use a timestamp.
• New: Added a new title for 100 in Hammer skill. Congratulations Nineol!
