09 / 07 / 2020

Echoes

Overwriting Available Echoes

  • We have re-enabled the ability for players to overwrite their “Available Echo” to match their character’s current Stats and Skills by clicking the “Overwrite Available Echo” button in the upper left corner of the Echoes page

 

  • Overwriting an Available Echo will show the player in red text what their Available Echo will look like if they Confirm the action
  • This change is permanent and staff will not replace any stats or skills for players who use this mechanic (same as before)

Renaming Echoes

  • Players can now give unique names to their Echoes by clicking the Rename button and entering a name in the “Rename Echo” menu that pops up

Special Lottery

  • Added support for our new Special Lottery system to be able to use Mastery Chain Links and Ship Upgrade Deeds as potential currency types for upcoming Special lotteries

Summoner’s Tome

  • The Aggro bonus from the Earth Pull (Earth Elemental) and Spell Siren (Water Elemental) upgrades has been reduced dramatically (all other bonuses from the Upgrades are the same as before)

Tinker Traps

  • Reduced the Ingot costs of Trap Wire types to 50% of normal amounts (now are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 instead of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
  • All existing Trap Wire stacks in game and any Trap Wire in Storage Shelves have had their amounts doubled (to reflect the change in Ingot costs)
  • Removed the recently added LOS check mechanic from trap wire: Trap Wire will now simply not hit any targets that have a height difference of more than 50z above or below the initial trap location

House Boats

  • House Boats should now follow all normal IDOC rules for placing new houses (30-60 delay before placeable, delays if players try to spam placement, etc)

Fishing Frenzies

  • Fixed an issue where part of the graphics for Fishing Frenzies could be dragged by ships

Ship Upgrade Tome

  • Greater Ship Ability Upgrade Deeds will now correctly display as “(greater”) in the Ship Upgrades Tome

SOS / MIBs

  • SOS/MIB locations are now similar to ship spawns and have a massively increased pool of potential locations

Storage Shelves

  • Large Ship Bombs can now be added to Storage Shelves
  • King’s Faire Summer Food items will no longer be added to Storage Shelves when restocking

Smelting

  • Smelting Ore skilll checks should now receive Effective Mining Skill bonuses from Fortune Aspect Armor for the purpose of smelting success chances

Ship Salvage

  • Ship Salvage items are now be accessible by any character on the Account of the Ship Captain (for both Salvage and Ransom items)
  • When players open the Salvage Foreman NPC menu, they will now receive a system message notification for each Ship Deed, Ship Upgrade, or Ship Crewmember that will soon become available to them (either as Salvage or Ransom) and how long it will be until it will be accessible (players may need to view their Journal if they have a large number of items incoming)

Ship Friends/Co-Owners

  • Fixed an issue where the list of Friends and Co-Owners in the Players Page of the Ship Menu would overrun the menu area

Town Struggles

  • Fixed an issue with Skill Checks preventing skill successes (such as Meditation or Tracking) during Town Struggles
