PATCH: New Treasure/Resource Map System, Codex Loadouts, & More!

Creature Damage Resistance

• Creatures (not including Followers, Player Ship Crewmembers, or Battle Trainers) will now receive a small amount of Damage Resistance that will vary on a creature-by-creature basis but will largely scale based on their Difficulty Value
• Creature Damage Resistance will be handled similarly to player’s Damage Resistance and will apply to all damage types (Melee, Spell, Poison, Trap, etc)

Codex Loadouts

• Skill Codexes now have a “Loadouts” section, where players can create multiple Loadouts of Codex Upgrade selections
• Note: Weapon/Shield Codexes do not have Loadouts, as players can switch Stances/Finishers freely within those Codexes already without restriction
• Players can have a maximum of 25 Loadouts per Skill Codex

Active Loadout

• Players must click the Active button to set a Loadout as their currently “Active” Loadout from which they will receive Codex Upgrade bonuses
• Players can only change their Active Loadout on a Codex once every 5 minutes
• Additionally, players can only use the Reset Spent Points mechanic on their Active Loadout on a Codex once every 5 minutes
• Cooldowns for changing an Active Loadout or Resetting Spent points are not shared between different Codex types (i.e changing the active Thieves Codex loadout will not impact the ability to change the active Healer’s Codex loadout)
• Players cannot Delete their Active Loadout, and instead may only use the Reset Spent Points mechanic on it
• An Active Loadout will have “selection text” displayed in Bright Green in the menu
• Note: Creating a new Loadout will not automatically set it as Active: players must click the “Active” button to set a Loadout as their current active one

Inactive Loadouts

• Loadouts that are “Inactive” will display in grey text
• Players can use Reset Spent Points on an Inactive Loadout without any cooldown or restriction

Summoner’s Tome

• The Summoner’s Tome no longer has an “Overview Page”, and players can now click on buttons for each Summon Type in the center section to select them
• Each Loadout for a Summoner’s Tome stores their Upgrade selections for all Summon Types (rather than an individual Loadout per Summon Type)
• The “Next Point Progress” displayed in the codex represents the current Experience Progress for the currently selected Summon Type

Taming Bestiary

• The Taming Bestiary no longer has an “Overview Page”, and the listing of a player’s current Followers belonging to the selected Creature Class (Attack, Utility, or Tank) will now appear in the center of the Codex
• The “x” number next to each Creature Class icon displays how many followers the player currently is controlling that belongs to that Creature Class
• Each Loadout for a Taming Bestiary stores their Upgrade selections for all Creature Classes (rather than an individual Loadout per Creature Class)

• Taste ID skill will now provide a (200% * (Effective Taste ID skill / 100)) bonus to Poison Damage against creatures (previously was 100%)
• Damage Bonuses for Poison ticks are now combined in an Additive manner (now matching the handling on damage for Melee, Spell, Traps) rather than Multiplicative

Any Poison Tick Damage against a Creature (NPC) will be reduced to 1 if any of the following are true:

• The source is more than 18 tiles away
• The source is no longer alive (or is a player that is Offline)
• The source is a player that has been Hidden for 15 seconds or longer

Having Multiple Creatures Poisoned

• If a player has more than 1 creature poisoned, the damage of each Poison Tick resolved by the player against creatures will receive a ((Total Poisoned Creatures – 1) * 10%) penalty up to a maximum of 70% penalty

Multiple Ticks

• Any mechanic that will cause multiple Poison Ticks to occur simultaneously (Poison Strike, Poison Aspect Armor, etc) will now display the damage for each tick individually, rather than combining their damage numbers

Melee Poison Sting
Melee Poison Sting now has the following handling:

• When a player makes a Melee Hit with a Poisoned weapon against a creature the player has already poisoned with that same poison type, they will have a chance to resolve a Poison Sting against the target that immediately resolves 1 Poison Tick
• The chance for a Poison Sting to occur will be based on the Combined Total of the player’s Effective Poisoning Skill and Effective Alchemy Skill
• Chance for Poison Sting to occur is (35% * (Combined Effective Skill / 100)) and is further Scaled by Weapon Speed
• Players can by default inflict a Poison Sting (Melee or Spell) at most once every 5 seconds

Spell Poison Sting
Spellcasting Poison Sting against will now also mirror Melee Poison Sting as follows:

• When a player casts the Poison Spell against a creature the player has already poisoned with that same poison type, they will have a chance to resolve a Poison Sting against the target that immediately resolves 1 Poison Tick
• The chance for a Poison Sting to occur will be based on the Combined Total of the player’s Effective Poisoning Skill and Effective Alchemy Skill
• Chance for Poison Sting to occur is (35% * (Combined Effective Skill / 100))
• Players can by default inflict a Poison Sting (Melee or Spell) at most once every 5 seconds

Poison Kit Upgrades
Descriptions for Poison Kit Upgrades have been updated as follows:

• Airborne: Reduces the damage penalty of having multiple poison effects active by (10% / 30% / 50%) of normal. Reduction amount halved when resolving multiple ticks simultaneously
• Caustic [Formely Terminal]: Increases Poison Sting chance by (4% / 12% / 20%) of normal and reduces Poison Sting cooldown by (0.4 / 1.2 / 2.0) seconds
• Targeted Venom: Increases tick damage by (40% / 120% / 200%) if player only has one creature currently poisoned. Bonus amount halved when resolving multiple ticks simultaneously

Poison Kit Upgrades Reset

• Players may now only reset their Poison Upgrades in the Poison Kit Menu once every 5 minutes (no longer checks for active Poison effects)

Poison Effects on Creatures

• Creatures (NPC, Tamed, and Summoned) can now have multiple types of different Poison effects applied onto them on them simultaneously (such as 1 Greater Poison + 2 Deadly Poison + 2 Lethal Poison all active)
• Creatures can only have 1 Poison effect active on them from the same source, however (i.e. 1 player/creature can’t stack multiple/different Poison effects on the same creature)

Example
A player with the Poisoning Skill, who also has a tamed Swamp Spider and a tamed Wyvern, are all fighting against a Daemon

The player casts Poison and applies Lethal Poison to the Daemon
The player’s Wyvern hits the Daemon and also applies Lethal Poison
The player’s Swamp Spider hits the Deamon and applies Greater Poison

The Daemon now has 2 Lethal Poison effects and 1 Greater Poison effect active, all damaging it

Creature vs Creature Poison Ticks

• Creature-based Poison Effects against other Creatures will now always tick every 5 seconds (regardless of Poison Type)
• Creature-based Poison Effects against other Creatures will now do Tick Damage as a percentage of the source creature’s Damage Max, scaling based on Poison Type (each also having a Minimum damage per tick)

Creature vs Creature Poison Damage per Tick is now as follows:

• Lesser Poison: (Damage Max) * 20% [Minimum of 5 Damage]
• Regular Poison: (Damage Max) * 30% [Minimum of 10 Damage]
• Greater Poison: (Damage Max) * 40% [Minimum of 15 Damage]
• Deadly Poison: (Damage Max) * 50% [Minimum of 20 Damage]
• Lethal Poison: (Damage Max) * 60% [Minimum of 25 Damage]

Example 1
A player has a Level 15 Wyvern that has a Melee Damage of 50-60 and can inflict Lethal Poison

The Wyvern’s Poison Ticks will inflict (60 * 60%) = 36 Damage per tick against creatures

Example 2
A player has a Level 15 Aegis Asp that has a Melee Damage of 15-18 and can inflict Deadly Poison

The Aegis Asp’s Poison Ticks will inflict (18 * 50%) = 9 Damage per tick against creatures, which will become 20 Damage per tick, because of the Minimum for Deadly Poison

Curing Followers

• If a Player’s Summoned/Tamed Follower has different Poison Types active on it simultaneously , the difficulty to cure the creature with Spells or Bandages/Veterinary Supplies will be based on the strongest Poison type present on the creature (Lesser < Regular < Greater < Deadly < Lethal)
• Curing a Follower successfully will remove all Poison effects on the creature, including those lower than the strongest type on the creature

Necromancy

• The Poison Strike ability now has the following description: “Target a creature that you have applied Poison or Disease onto to resolve up to 3 Poison ticks and up to 8 Disease ticks remaining at (100% * (Necromancy / 100)) normal damage”
• The Mind Rot ability now has the following description: “For next 30 seconds, player’s Poison and Disease tick damage is increased by (20% * (Necromancy / 100))”

Notes

• Poison Strike and Mind Rot will now apply to any form of Poison or Disease inflicted directly by the player, including from Melee sources
• Players will no longer receive a “You enhance your poison with Mind Rot” message, as the ability will now impact existing Poison and Disease ticks from the player
