PATCH: Feb 20 – Increased Ship People Spawn, Ossuary Event, Mastery Chain updates and more!

02 / 21 / 2020

Ship Spawns

  • NPC Ship Spawn Rate is now doubled

Aspect Special

  • All Aspect Weapon/Spell specials are now treated as “Pure” damage and no longer affected by Armor (exception for Artisan and Command “buffs”)
  • Shadow Aspect Weapon special damage bonus now triggers .05 seconds after a melee backstab, and so its damage bonus is separate from the original backstab attack
  • Fixed the Artisan Aspect Weapon/Spell “Fortify” Special description to reflect that the damage reduction of the effect is a Physical Damage reduction (instead of just Damage reduction)

NPC Event Guards

  • NPC Event Guards (such as those from the Cambrian Event) will no longer spawn as paragons

Ossuary Event

  • Forgery Kits (Ossuary Event item) will no longer drop as loot in the Newbie Dungeon

Weapon Poison

  • Fixed an issue where players applying Weapon Poison to creatures was applying at 100% success rate instead of the intended formula (25% + (Effective Poisoning Skill / 4%))

Polymorph

  • The polymorph criminal flag should now expire upon player death
  • A player who dies while polymorphed will have their corpse treated as grey to all players

Mastery Chain and [Stats

  • Fixed display issue in [Stats (Player Stats Profiles) for Mastery Chain Weapon Damage bonus (was displaying as 0.0% for most players)

Creature Corpses

  • Fixed a large number of visual overrides for creature corpse visuals, such as Noxweeds becoming Corpser bodies on death

Animal Lore Menu

  • Fixed the Taming Success Change display in Animal Lore gump to now factor in Command Aspect and other bonuses to taming success chances
  • Taming Success Chance will now show as 0.0% for any creature the player does not meet the minimum taming skill for (previously was showing as 1% for untamable creatures)
  • Fixed an issue where Barding Success Chance and Barding Duration in window weren’t displaying correct values (using wrong Barding skill)

Test Center

  • We’ve added Creature Taming Deeds, Creature Experience Deeds, and Creature Upgrades Reset Deeds to the Player Editor (gold) statues that are available on Test Center so make it easier for players to test out tamed creatures
