Please read below for a summary of changes and features for Dark Age of Camelot: Darkness Rising and Version 1.80. You will find specifics on the Version 1.80 items under the NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES section, later in this patch note.

DARKNESS RISING SPECIAL FEATURES

These features are only available to customers who install the Darkness Rising expansion pack.

Darkness Rising features the introduction of 'epic' player-controlled horses, champion quests, champion weapons and new character "sub-classing" abilities. For more information on the Champion Quests, Champion Levels, or horses, players are encouraged to speak to one of the Champions found near the entrance of each capital city, as well as near the throne rooms. (Note that basic player controlled horses are available without the purchase of Darkness Rising. Please see the VERSION 1.80 SPECIAL FEATURES section below for more details.)

Pre-order Reward

- All players who pre-ordered the Darkness Rising expansion qualify to receive a special set of horse armor. To obtain this reward, players should speak with their realm's King in his throne room. After engaging the player in a brief dialogue, the King will then send the player to the Quartermaster.

New City Art

- Each of the capital cities received a major art upgrade to provide a more detailed, realistic environment. The cities now better reflect their status as the crossroads of the realm, and furthermore reflect the current graphical capabilities.

New Darkness Falls Art

- Like the capital cities, Darkness Falls also received a major art upgrade and is now more detailed and realistic in appearance. Many of the creatures lurking in Darkness Falls have also received upgrades in art.

Advanced Player Controlled Horses

- Acquire a faithful horse to travel the Realms and the frontiers. Ride a warhorse, unicorn, nightmare, undead, or an elemental steed.

- Once players have achieved level 45, they are eligible to purchase an advanced horse.

- Advanced horses travel at a 50% increase over standard run speed. Grouping with a class that offers a speed enhancement greater than this will increase your speed to match that of the speed enhancement.

- Unlike basic horses, advanced mounts can be summoned in the frontier zones.

- Horses may be named using a /namemount slash command. The horse's name is limited to one word with the first letter only capitalized.

- Advanced horses may be customized with armor, barding, and saddlebags. In addition, the barding may be emblemized.

- Players may not enter in to combat while on horseback. Upon being attacked, players will be dismounted.

- Delving an inactive horse will return basic help text.

The Champion's Quest

Players are given the opportunity to undertake a new series of quest tracks (commencing at level 30, continuing at level 40, culminating at level 50) based around the Darkness Rising back story. Players interested in combating the realm's newest threat should speak with their class trainer, or one of Champion Recruiters who have taken up posts throughout each realm's home city to provide information about a variety of topics, champion quests included. These NPCs will provide information on how to gain access to the King's Throne Room, where the adventure begins. Players successfully completing the story arc are rewarded by the King with a weapon (or instrument) of their choosing, the famed Champion Weapon! The realms are in need of new legends to look to in these troubled times. Will you be one?

Midgard

Players of level 30 and above should see the Visindakonar, their class trainer, or the Champions found inside the entrances to Jordheim to begin their Champion Quests.

-Warriors, Hunters, Berserkers and Savages must seek out Visindakona Siv in Jordheim.

-Shadowblades, Shaman, Healers and Skalds must seek out Visindakona Guri in Jordheim.

-Bonedancers, Warlocks and Spiritmasters must seek out Visindakona Sigyn in Jordheim.

-Runemasters, Valkyries and Thanes must seek out Visindakona Magna in Jordheim.

Hibernia

Players of level 30 and above should speak to their Path's leader, their class trainer, or the Champions found inside the entrance to Tir na Nog to begin their Champion Quests.

- Members of the Path of Harmony should speak to Lovernios in Tir na Nog.

- Members of the Path of Focus should speak to Dian Cecht in Mag Mell.

- Members of the Path of Affinity should speak to Brigit in Tir na Nog.

- Members of the Path of Essence should speak to Fagan in Mag Mell.

Albion

Players of level 30 and above should speak to their guild leader, their class trainer, or the Champions found inside the entrance to Camelot to begin their Champion Quests.

- Members of the Church of Albion or the Temple of Arawn should speak to Bishop Kustan.

- Members of the Defenders of Albion should speak to Sir Amren.

- Members of the Guild of Shadows should speak to Dostram.

- Members of the Academy should speak to Master Narudos.

Champion Weapons

- Wield new, class-specific Champion Weapons bestowed upon characters by the king to aid in the quest to rid the land of unspeakable evil. These special weapons increase in power as players progress through their Champion Quests.

- Champion Weapons are available for players who have reached Champion Level five and become Champions of the Realms.

- The Illuminator found in the Throne room will explain to players the spells available for their weapons.

- Players may "respec" their final champion weapon to choose another version of the weapon. To respec a champion weapon, players should hand their fully repaired weapon to the Weaponmaster in the Throne room. The Weaponmaster will then allow the players to choose the type of weapon and the spell desired.

- Champion Weapons must be repaired by a NPC smith, but they do not lose durability.

Champion Levels

In order to allow level 50 players additional means of advancing their characters, we are introducing five new Champion Levels to the players of DAoC and Darkness Rising. Become one of the chosen champions of your Realm as you prove your mettle, skill and spirit to your King and fellow Realm mates. The King shall grant rare boons and bestowments as a reward for faithful service to your Realm. The more status you obtain within the ranks of the elite champions of the Realm, the more coveted and potent the equipment and tools you'll receive.

- Players wishing to embark on their Champion Levels must first speak to their class trainer or one of the Champions in the capital cities. They will send players on a quest to speak to the King.

- Once players speak to the King, and if they are level 50, they may begin the process of gaining experience towards Champion Levels.

- Upon completing the experience requirements for each Champion Level, players return to the King to receive their reward and their talent points.

- Champion levels provide additional hit points, additional power points, sub-classing points, access to the King's Quartermaster, and increased customization of mounts.

- New titles have been added for players for each Champion Level.

Sub-Classing

- Darkness Rising introduces Sub-classing. Sub-classing is a way to advance your character down paths which offer various abilities like spells and styles. These abilities are earned through champion experience, which is gained through normal means (quests, monster killing, and RvR). The champion experience gained in RvR is significantly greater than the experience gained otherwise.

- To start on the path of Sub-classing, make sure you visit the King of your realm in the respective Capital cities of Tir na Nog, Jordheim and Camelot. Once the King bestows upon you the ability to gain Champion experience, you are well on your way to advancing your character down the Sub-classing lines!

- Sub-classing is available from BASE trainers such as Seer, Mystic, Viking, Rogue, Fighter, Acolyte, etc. Sub-classing is NOT available from career class trainers such as Ranger, Warrior, Paladin, Cleric, etc.

- Characters are permitted 5 champion points to spend on abilities. You get 1 champion point per champion Level. These abilities can be spent on any tree other than your base class. For example, a Warrior cannot get sub-class abilities from a Viking Trainer, but CAN get sub-class abilities from a Seer, Mystic, or Rogue trainer.

- Spells granted from sub-classing will be listed under the Spells tab in a new tree called "Abilities".

- Styles granted from sub-classing will be listed under the Styles tab.

- Necromancers will be getting a pet class version of all abilities available to them with the exception of styles, bolts and GTAE spells.

- At champion level 3, players are granted access to the base weapon types of each realm accordingly:

Hibernia: Blades, Blunt, Pierce, Small Shields
Albion: Slash, Crush, Thrust, Small Shields
Midgard: Axe, Sword, Hammer, Small Shields

- The interface will show up when interacting with the base trainers and will show each ability available per trainer. An "information" button displays the delve information of the ability. When you purchase the ability with your champion points, the arrow beneath the ability will highlight, denoting that you have purchased the ability above it. You CANNOT purchase an ability twice.

Royal Expeditions

- The Kings' Lieutenants are now offering groups of level-based tasks ranging from 5 to 49. These NPCs are located in the capital city, near the SI portal and in the portal keeps. These tasks are divided by type: combat, dispatch, delivery and the occasional assistance to the taskmaster. There are 5 such tasks available per level, although you may only have one of each type pending at a time.

Trophies

- Remains for trophies are dropped by the following Champion Quest bosses:
Albion - Geryon, Astaroth, Belial, Moloch, Abaddon, Xaphan, and Azazel
Midgard - Rugak, Soltinn, Myrkr, Banahogg, Farbjodr, Ofridr, Utgard-Lok
Hibernia - Bres, Grimeil, Uamhas, Glamaim, Teugmhail, Malairt, Crom Cruaich

TRADESKILL NOTES

- Horse armors are now available at 1000 skill in Metalworking.

- Horse bardings are now available at 1000 skill in Clothworking.

Basic Player Controlled Horses

- If you are level 35 or higher, you are eligible to purchase a Horse Voucher from the Horse Merchant in your capital city for 250 gold pieces. You can redeem the Voucher at the Royal Stable Master, who needs a small errand run before turning over the horse to you.

- Basic horses travel at a 35% increase over standard run speed. Grouping with a class that offers a speed enhancement greater than this will increase your speed to match that of the speed enhancement.

- Basic horses cannot be summoned in frontier zones.

- Basic horses may not be customized with armor, barding, or saddlebags.

- Players may not enter into combat while on horseback. Upon being attacked, players will be dismounted.

Tir na Nog: At the stables across from the Green Rose Pub

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- As was previously stated, we have re-enabled housing rent with this version. We highly recommend that players check their houses to be sure their rent is paid and that the house is not in danger of being repossessed.

Other Changes And Bug Fixes

- Water breathing potions now give base speed increases even when the player is speedwarped. Currently, the only things which shut down water breathing potions are holding a relic and the Testudo Realm Ability.

- Players who disband while dead, grouped, and in an instance will now automatically release back to their bind point rather than directly outside the instance.

- A new "/release entrance" command has been created to allow players to release from an instance to a point just outside of the instance, instead of releasing to their bind point. This command is enabled for adventure wings, Darkspire, and select Champion Quest instances.

- Catacombs classes whose accounts are qualified for /level now earn a 50% bonus to experience from levels 1-20.

- Battleground Siege Merchants will now only display their stores when they are within the region of portal keeps.

- Bug fix: Style lines with different styles, depending on class, no longer have duplicate listings when being delved at a trainer.

Left Axe

- The animations for Snowsquall, Comeback and Frosty Gaze have been updated.

Assassins

- A new ability has been granted to the assassins of all three realms (Infiltrators, Nightshades and Shadowblades) upon reaching level 35, to combat horse riders of enemy realms. The ability "Caltrops" is a rune trap which is scribed on the ground that dismounts enemy players on horseback who ride over it. Upon being forcefully dismounted, players are snared for a brief period of time. The ability has a refresh timer of 10 minutes and has a small Area effect radius. Players which are 35 or higher will be granted this ability retroactively.

Healer

- The Group Heals from the Tribute of Battle line will no longer display the weapons crossing graphic when casting the heal.

Heretic

- Heretics now have access to Cure Poison and Cure Disease in their Rejuvenation line. Cure Poison is available at spec 7 and Cure Disease is available at spec 9. All Heretics currently specialized higher in Rejuvenation will receive those spells retroactively.

- Rheoran, the Bainshee Trainer in Tir na Nog, now resides inside the Chamber of Magic.

- Many of the monsters found in Darkness Falls have received new artwork for players using the Catacombs or Darkness Rising client.

- Various demons throughout the land, including Darkness Falls, have been given weapons or have had weapons removed based on the upgraded monster art with Darkness Rising.

- Lighting has been adjusted in Tir Na Nog.

- The vast majority of demons associated with Darkness Falls have been granted minor abilities by their dark masters.

- Channelers have been added to the Housing entrances in each Realm.

- Indicators have been placed in the new epic quest dungeons to highlight the exits.

- Players will no longer be able to jump on top of any cave entrances.

- Players will no longer become stuck under porches in Wearyall in Avalon Isle.

Festival Notes

- To add to the entertainment at the festival in each realm, several barkeeps in each realm have stocked up on alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The NPCs offering these libations are as follows:

Albion: Jonathan Lee (Cotswold)
Barkeep Dwerrav (Camelot)
Barkeep Broec (Camelot)
Barkeep Garban (Gothwaite)

Midgard: Barkeep Prugar (Jordheim)
Barkeep Banak (Jordheim)
Barkeep Nognar (Mularn)
Barkeep Kaari (Aegirhamn)

Hibernia: Barkeep Felemu (Ardee)
Waiter Valaray (Tir na Nog)
Barkeep Hurley (Tir na Nog)
Barkeep Tawny (Domnann)

- The festival's tent vendors have widened their selection of items. These vendors will now sell tents and supplies that may be used in the housing zones.

- The standard pup tents have been modified to allow them to be used outside of housing in all areas except for New Frontiers, any of the battle ground zones and all of the capital cities. Tents will also not deploy if you are attempting to deploy one within 512 in-game units of any monster or NPC.

- The duration of campfires has been increased to 10 minutes, giving them the same duration as other tent items. Like tents, campfires cannot be deployed within 512 in-game units of any monster or NPC.

- Festival Items: Drinks (alcoholic and non) from the festival vendor and barkeeps will now show only 1 charge and 1 max charge properly. This fixes a bug that made it necessary to have them display 2 charges and max charges but they could only be used once.

- To increase the flexibility of the player placeable items that are sold at the festival, a few modifications have been made to how they work and how to use them. These changes cover the tents, campfire, fence, cart, and boxes that can be bought. Previously, the items were used by selecting the item and the /use command. This caused the items generated to always face one direction. To alleviate this, the items have been changed so that they deploy when dropped on the ground. Items will now deploy exactly where dropped and will face the player dropping them. Once dropped, they last ten minutes and cannot be picked back up. Some items are allowed in housing only and some items are allowed anywhere except the frontiers, battlegrounds, or capital cites; the item delve will specify which is true. In all cases, the items will fail to deploy if within 512 units of a monster or NPC to prevent exploiting.

- Items purchased with Emerald Seals are now 90% quality.

- Items purchased with Sapphire Seals are now 92% quality.

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.80b Release Notes
Darkness Rising
October 18, 2005

===================================

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- All sub-class abilities have been removed and points refunded back to players due to a bug in the sub-class ability selection process which allowed players to attain abilities beyond the design of sub-class limitations. Players may repurchase sub-class abilities at the base trainers, and abilities will now be given in accordance with the design of the sub-class system. Previously, players were able to purchase sub-class abilities from one class trainer, up to level 3, and then go to different class trainer and purchase sub-class abilities beginning at level 4, allowing them to skip levels 1 - 3 at that particular class trainer. This has been fixed.

- Players who are Phase Shifted can no longer be Grappled.

- Horses can no longer be sold if they are wearing armor or barding.

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.81 Release Notes
Realm vs Realm and Class focus
December 15, 2005

===================================

VERSION 1.81 INTRODUCTION

In response to our polls (both US and European) in the last few months, this patch is focused on improvements and enhancements to RVR and specific classes. Specifically, we have made changes to the realm point system to make the points earnable in many ways including most forms of healing, object breaking, and object repair. We extended the realm rank cap. We adjusted the process that makes Darkness Falls available to make that zone more accessible. More line of sight issues have been corrected, and we will continue to work on those in future patches. Finally, we made a change to battleground caps to make players in those zones more evenly matched.

Also in response to our polling data, we made many improvements to the classes that belong to our heavy tank archetype, and some adjustments to healers and assassins. Thank you for all of your input and testing help!

These are only some of the improvements to Dark Age of Camelot in 1.81. Please read these notes carefully for the full story.

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

New Things

- When a Hero goes into Stag form or a Berserker goes into Vendo form, the player's tunic will now display. This change will only occur for those using the Catacombs or higher clients.

- The zombie form (when resurrected by a Heretic) has been given an overhaul. The resurrected player will now appear as a skeleton that will display most of the resurrected player's armor. This change will only occur for those using the Catacombs or higher clients.

Bug Fixes

- House friends of guild rank 0 will now properly display on the house friends list.

- All effect icons in the mini-pet window will now properly appear.

- Players will now keep illusions when leaving stag form.

- Class-specific illusions for Bards, Bonedancers and Animists are now restored when other illusions expire, if they are still active.

- While a player is shape changed to a lion when summoning a guild banner, the guild banner will no longer appear to come out of the lion's mouth.

- If an Animist uses a Realm Rank 5 ability while summoning a guild banner, the guild banner will no longer stick out from the side of the player character.

- Fixed a bug which allowed styles with range bonuses (such as Asp) to grant the range bonus even if the style itself would have failed.

Realm And Experience Point Changes

- Realm points will now be awarded for successfully repairing a door or outpost piece. Players will receive approximately 10% of the amount repaired in realm points. (Note that realm points for repairing a door or outpost piece will not work in the battlegrounds.)

- Realm points will now be awarded for healing players with single target and group heal spells who are involved in RvR combat. Players will receive roughly 5% of the amount of hit points restored in realm points. Note that realm points are not awarded for spread heals, heal over time spells or any other heal spell that is not a single target or group heal type spell. (Note that realm points for healing players will not work in the battlegrounds.)

- Added a new /xpoff command. This allows players to stop receiving experience points if they choose (primarily for use in the battlegrounds). This feature can be turned off by using /xpoff again. Players will be reminded that they have this feature on each time they enter the game, but not every time they would have gained experience points. Note that experience messages will not print when the player has experience turned off.

- When eligible for a free level, clicking on your trainer with /xpoff set will give the player a message telling them they can claim their free level if they turn experience back on.

- Added a new /rpoff command. This allows players to stop receiving realm points if they choose (primarily for use in the battlegrounds). This feature can be turned off by using /rpoff again. Players will be reminded that they have this feature on each time they enter the game, but not every time they would have gained realm points. Note that realm point messages will not print when the player has realm points turned off.

- Dead players will now continue to retain and receive their realm point credit on targets until they release. This will work for solo players as well as grouped players in terms of continuing to contribute their share to the kill if a target is being attacked by another non grouped player as well.

- All damage to primary pets (Not turrets, theurgist pets, or BD pets besides the commander) now gives realm point credit on the pet's owner as well. If a pet with 1600 hp is controlled by a player with roughly 1600 hp, and two solo players kill each of them, they will get roughly even shares of the credit.

- Breaking an object (Not just destroying it) will also be worth realm points now. Previously walls and doors were not worth realm points for this reason.

- Re-breaking an object which was previously broken, and only repaired up to roughly 25% will result in a reduction in the overall realm point value of the object. (To roughly 1/4 what it would have been worth at full health.)

- A player's realm level is now worth an equal part to their overall realm point value to their level. Previously their level was worth (Their level - 20)^2, or 1 - 900, and their realm level was worth an additional 1 - 100. Now their realm level is worth 10 points per realm level (thats realm level, or 1 - 110 rather than realm rank rank 1 - 11), so with the other change we're putting in, increasing the max realm rank to 12, players could now be worth up to roughly 2100 realm points, not accounting for bonuses.

Darkness Falls Changes

We have made changes to the way the shifting of Darkness Falls occurs between realms. Here is a breakdown of how this will now work:

- When Darkness Falls changes hands, there is now a 15 minute timer activated. Until this timer expires, the realm that loses DF access can still enter the dungeon.

- Each realm has its own potential timer. If DF changes hands multiple times, all three realms could have access simultaneously.

- If this timer is active, it will display as such along with time remaining to all in the /realm window.

- When a realm takes control of DF, if they have a 15 minute re-entry timer, it's zeroed out.

Loot Changes

- An /autoloot toggle has been added. This will toggle whether or not a player wishes to automatically loot items, per the following guidelines:

When loot drops, if solo, and /autoloot is active, the player will pick up gold and items automatically.

When loot drops, if grouped, and the group leader has /autoloot active, gold and items will be picked up automatically. Gold and item division will be handled normally from that point depending on the group settings.

When loot drops, if in a battlegroup with a designated treasurer, and that treasurer has /autoloot active, items that are high enough level to go to the treasurer will be looted automatically and distributed to the battlegroup treasurer.

If autoloot fails because no one in a player's group has open inventory slots, the item will remain on the ground.

Players who drop coin as the result of an RvR death cannot be /autolooted. This is so they have a chance to retrieve their own coin if their side holds their ground.

Interface Changes

- Changed the tool tips on the character bar to include the key that opens each panel. (Character, Inventory, Specializations, etc.)

- Added tool tips to the style and spell windows.

- Added mousewheel support for the style and spell windows.

- Tool tips for inventory items will now display better information. Useful information (such as condition and durability) will now show up in the tool tip if it's relevant.

- The Alliance tab in the social window will no longer fail to display properly for the alliance leader if a guild was removed from their alliance list.

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

General Class Changes And Fixes

- Trying to use Vanish while unable to (such as while on horseback, stealthed, or dead) will no longer cause the Vanish re-use timer to be set.

- Powerdrain spells (such as Vampiir bolts) have been reverted back to their previous functionality, no longer dropping any run speed spells the caster may have active.

- Abilities with the same name will no longer swap hotkeys when zoning.

- List casters with champion abilities will no longer have their hotkeys changed when gaining a champion level.

- Mezmerization and Stun spells are now calculated when determining Realm point distribution. The spells are looked at as if they were damage spells cast upon a player. All Mezmerization spells will count as 5% and all stun spells will count as 10%. However, this does not mean a player will get 10% of the realm point worth of an enemy that is killed. It means the player will be considered as doing 10% damage from the damage pool, which dictates realm point values.

- Many spell and ability timers no longer overlap from Class Spells, Master Abilities and Sub-classing spells.

Realm Rank Extension

As Dark Age of Camelot progresses, many of our players have fought their way to the tops of the realm rank charts. To allow these players the opportunity to achieve new goals in the New Frontiers, we have extended the realm rank system to Realm Rank 13.

- Characters will receive one realm skill point for each realm level, which means that the total possible realm skill points will increase from 110 to 120.

- Specialization bonuses will continue through Rank 13, with a total of +12 at Rank 13.

- Characters with 23,308,097 or more realm points will need to earn at least 1 realm point before they will become their appropriate new realm rank and level.

Realm Rank 13

Albion Rank Title - Baron/Baroness
Midgard Rank Title - Vicomte/Vicomtessa
Hibernia Rank Title - Ciann/Cath

The following chart represents the total number of realm points required for each realm rank and level:

23,308,097 realm points = RR12 L0
25,871,988 realm points = RR12 L1
28,717,906 realm points = RR12 L2
31,876,876 realm points = RR12 L3
35,383,333 realm points = RR12 L4
39,275,499 realm points = RR12 L5
43,595,804 realm points = RR12 L6
48,391,343 realm points = RR12 L7
53,714,390 realm points = RR12 L8
59,622,973 realm points = RR12 L9
66,181,501 realm points = RR13 L0

Subclassing Changes

- Faded Nimbleness and Faded Quickness for Necromancers now correctly have a recast timer and will gray out the button accordingly.

Realm Ability Changes

- Thornweed Field now correctly delves as essence damage instead of matter damage.

- Added an NPC in each Battleground that will allow a player to remove all of their realm points. This removes all of the realm points, abilities, and ranks associated with the points. *Note: This process cannot be reversed once you choose to accept it.

Archer Changes (Ranger, Hunter and Scout)

- The Ranger, Hunter and Scout classes are now awarded Safe Fall 1 when specializing in Stealth to level 10.

Assassin Changes (Nightshade, Shadowblade and Infiltrator)

- Existing STR/CON poisons will be converted over to the new Weaponskill/CON poisons. Any new poisons created from tradeskills or purchased on stores will be the newer Weaponskill/CON poisons.

- The amount of Weaponskill/CON debuffed is set to the following:

Poisons 22: 9% Weaponskill & 45 Con
Poisons 29: 12% Weaponskill & 61 Con
Poisons 37: 15% Weaponskill & 81 Con
Poisons 47: 19% Weaponskill & 108 Con

Heavy Tank Changes (Hero, Warrior and Armsman)

Heavy tanks are considered the defensive juggernaughts of the realm they fight for, and as such, are getting added abilities and improvements to their classes.

- BattleCries - This is a new system that provides burst defensive bonuses to self and group for Heavy Tanks.

- Level 5 Shout - Taunting Shout: Frontal cone taunt that causes mobs to turn and fight the tank or at least increase the hate amount towards the tank. Re-usable every 60 seconds

- Level 30 Shout - Bolstering Roar: PBAE 250 radius attack that breaks root, breakable snares and mesmerization effects on group members. If the tank is CC'd (other than root) they will have to purge themselves or wait for CC to wear off, then fire this. Re-usable every 10 minutes.

- Level 40 Shout - Rampage: Group shout which increases the chance to resist debuffs by 35%. Lasts for 10 seconds. Re-usable every 5 minutes.

- Level 50 Shout - Fury: Self only shout which gives a 50% chance to deflect crowd control spells (similar to the RR5 Bonedancer ability), and increases resists to magic spells by 50% for 10 seconds. Re-usable every 15 minutes.

- Level 15 Spell/Ability - Metal Guard: Group buff which increases the ABS of group members by 3% excluding the caster of the buff. If there are multiple casters of this buff within the group, then this will stack up to a maximum of 9%. Other players can receive the benefit of this buff, but the caster of this buff cannot so it is possible for another heavy tank to have a bonus to his ABS if another heavy tank joins the group and casts this buff. Duration 20 minutes.

- Level 35 Spell/Ability - Climbing Spikes: Self castable buff which lasts for 30 seconds that grants Climb Walls. The player will have the ability to climb walls for a short duration of time. While climbing a wall, any hit that does more than 31 damage will knock the player off the wall. Furthermore, any hit which knocks the player off the wall will hit for double damage. If the buff runs out while the player is on the wall and he/she does not reach an area where they can walk again, they will be knocked off the wall. Re-useable every 60 seconds.

Passive benefits (Hero, Warrior and Armsman)

- Upon choosing the path of a Hero, Warrior or Armsman, the player will be granted 50% siege resistance automatically. This includes all siege damage types, including Boiling Oil.

- Upon reaching level 41, the Hero, Warrior and Armsman will begin to gain more hitpoints as they progress towards level 50. At each level beyond 41 they gain 1% extra Hit points per level. At level 50, they will have the full 10% benefit.

- Upon reaching level 41, the Hero, Warrior and Armsman will begin to gain more magic resistance (spell damage reduction only) as they progress towards level 50. At each level beyond 41 they gain 2%-3% extra resistance per level. At level 50, they will have the full 15% benefit.

Primary Healer Changes (Druid, Healer and Cleric)

- Enhanced cures have been added to the primary healing line of the Cleric, Druid and Healer classes. These cures are in addition to Cure Poison and Cure Disease. These cures will be available to currently created characters with the appropriate specialization.

14 Regrowth/Mending/Rejuvenation:
Pulsing Cure Poison - Single Target. Cures once, then pulses for another cure 3 seconds later.

50 Regrowth/Mending/Rejuvenation:
Group Cure All - Group cure all (Nearsight, Disease, Poison)

Armsman

- Snapshot has been replaced with "Soldier's Citadel". This ability grants a 50% bonus to parry and block rates to the armsman for 30 seconds, but -10% block/parry rate for 15 seconds after. Re-use timer of 15 minutes.

- Snapshot has been moved to 25 crossbow spec for Armsman.

Hero

- Tactics has been replaced with "Combat Awareness". The Hero will gain 360 degree 50% evade for 30 seconds during which time the Hero's attack power is reduced by 50%. During this time, the Hero will also be snared by 50%. This ability's re-use timer is set to 15 minutes.

- Tactics has been moved to 45 shield spec for Heroes.

GENERAL WORLD NOTES

- Line of sight issues have been improved for all bridges in New Frontiers. This fix also addresses many of the 'cast through walls' issues that Bainshees have on bridges.

- Low level monsters (between levels 0-10) are now easier to kill by low level characters.

- Additional monsters have been brought in line with the changes listed in 1.81b for monster level 0-10 being easier to kill. This affects monsters in Catacomb zones as well.

- King Lug, enamored by the warmth of his citizens upon his return, has begun renovations of Mag Mell. The layout in Mag Mell has been changed to include the addition of new buildings. The town's surroundings now accommodate a more welcoming approach. NPCs in Mag Mell have been moved to new locations and horse routes have been adjusted. (Over the coming months, Mularn and Cotswold will undergo the same renovations.)

- A Realm Point Remover NPC has been added to each Capital City near the main hubs of activity such as the Guild and Name Registrars. These NPCs can only be used if you are level 44 or below. This process cannot be reversed once completed. PLEASE NOTE - THESE NPCS DO NOT GRANT REALM ABILITY RESPECS.

- Added an NPC in each Battleground that will allow a player to remove all of their realm points. This removes all of the realm points, abilities, and ranks associated with the points. This process cannot be reversed once you choose to accept it. PLEASE NOTE - THESE NPCS DO NOT GRANT REALM ABILITY RESPECS.

- (Albion) Fixed an issue where the Lieutenants in charge of the Royal Expeditions would still give you the missions to choose from even if you had already completed all of them for that level (46).

Battlegrounds

- Battlegrounds now have realm point zone in caps to go along with their current level caps. A player that is above the realm point cap for a certain battleground will not be able to visit that battleground and will need to gain more experience to visit the next level appropriate battleground. In the particular case of Leirvik, there is an additional cap of ML3.

New BG RR Zone in Caps:

Realm Rank 1 Level 2 & Level 19- Killaloe
Realm Rank 1 Level 4 & Level 24- Thidranki
Realm Rank 1 Level 9 & Level 29- Braemar
Realm Rank 2 Level 4 & Level 34- Wilton
Realm Rank 2 Level 9 & Level 39- Molvik
Realm Rank 3 Level 9 & Level 44 & ML 3 - Leirvik

- While inside the Battlegrounds, players can earn one Realm Rank higher than the cap to zone in. Furthermore, the amount of Realm points attainable within the Battlegrounds has been adjusted upward. A player will now be able to leave the Final Battleground at Realm Rank 4 instead of Realm Rank 3.

NEW BG RR CAPS:

Realm Rank 1 Level 3 - Killaloe
Realm Rank 1 Level 5 - Thidranki
Realm Rank 2 Level 0 - Braemar
Realm Rank 2 Level 5 - Wilton
Realm Rank 3 Level 0 - Molvik
Realm Rank 4 Level 0 - Leirvik

Points to note about Experience level and Realm Ranks in the Battlegrounds:

- If Realm Rank is capped in the Battleground, a player will not be removed forcibly if they die and release or not get resurrected. They will be ported back to the portal keep of their realm within the Battleground.

- If Realm Rank is capped in the Battleground, and a player willingly ports out of the Battleground, you will not be able to return to the same Battleground.

- If a Player's Experience level exceeds the Battleground cap, they will be removed from the Battleground if they are not resurrected from death.

Example for clarification: A level 24 player that is Realm Rank 1L4 Zones into Thidranki. That player then gets Realm Rank 1L5 while in the Battleground and dies soon after. The player is not resurrected, but releases back to the portal keep within the Battleground. Said player can log out of the game if they desire and come back to the same Battleground later. Upon coming back into the Battleground later on, the same player levels up to level 25. Later that day the level 25 player dies, and upon release of his spirit, he is ported back to the portal keep (Druim Ligen, Svasud Faste, or Castle Sauvage).

- Many monsters in Atlantis are no longer 100 percent immune to certain damage types. Examples of such monsters: The Phoenix, several bronze statue monsters and many fire immune monsters. Note that some monsters retain their immunities based on dynamics of certain encounters.

- All common and Lieutenant monsters have had their levels reduced and will not exceed level 65. Main "boss" like monsters have not had their levels changed.

- Many common monster spawns that were creating additional difficulty in certain Trials and artifact encounters have been reduced in number and spawn less frequently.

- Several encounters have been made less difficult by adjusting spawn numbers, monster levels, object hit points, etc. These encounters are listed below, specifically by region. Please note that many encounters that aren't listed specifically are likely still less difficult due to the new item stores, the resist changes, the level changes and the spawn changes made across Atlantis.

Oceanus Encounter Notes

- The Kraken and Leviathan encounters have had several adjustments made in order to decrease their difficulty.

- The following encounters have had their difficulty reduced: Master Level Trials - 2.3, 2.7, 3.1, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8 and 3.10. Artifacts - Egg of Youth, Traldor's Oracle, Staff of the God, Phoebus' Harp and Bracelet of Zo'arkat.

- Increased the spawn rate associated with the Dream Sphere encounter.

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.82 Release Notes
Class Changes and Cross Cluster Guilds and Alliances
February 16, 2005

===================================

VERSION 1.82 INTRODUCTION

Over the last couple of months, we have continued on the path that we started last year - gathering information from our players about what you want to see us working on next, and focusing on this information at the core of our patches. We will continue to poll for this information, as well as gather feedback from various community forums and the Herald. Based on your feedback, there are two main areas on which we have focused this version: Class Enhancements (specifically Hybrid and Assassin classes) and Guild and Alliance clustering improvements.

Hybrid Enhancements: We have made extensive improvements to the Friar, Thane and Warden. As with the heavy tanks, our goal was to reinvigorate these classes to make them more fun and interesting to play. Each of these classes has received unique changes that fit their individual roles in battle. Please scroll down to the "CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES" section to read about the improvements we have made to these three hybrid classes.

Assassin Enhancements: We also took a hard look at the assassin class of each realm with an eye for improving all three of them in overall performance, particularly in RvR. We have added improvements which better enable them to fulfill their role as stealthy one on one killers and castle infiltrators. Please scroll down to the "CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES" section to read about the improvements we have made to the three assassin classes.

Guild and Alliance Clustering Improvements: We really appreciate all of the feedback we have received about this issue. At long last and in response to this feedback you have provided, we have implemented the ability for guilds and alliances to form across all servers in a cluster. Please scroll down to the "Cross Server Guild And Alliance Notes" for more details.

We will continue to move forward with class enhancements as quickly as we can, but this will definitely require additional patch cycles and continuous testing and feedback. We know that you are each sensitive to when your class will be looked at, and we will be looking at them as quickly and carefully as possible. We are continuing to gather more feedback and we will be taking more polls in the near future to help us focus on what is next.

Your participation and feedback is very important to us. We really appreciate your involvement in helping us to determine what we should be looking at next. Thanks again!

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

General Changes And Fixes

- The restrictions on /bg grantcredit where a player less than master level 2 couldn't be granted credit for trial 5, a player less than master level 4 couldn't be granted credit for trial 7, 9 for 9, and 10 for 10, have been removed.

- /gc note now gives the player feedback on where it's trying to write a note to, and will prompt the note writer if the target of the note is unclear.

- In some instances, players were able to exploit certain quests and obtain more experience than was intended. This has been fixed.

- The error message reported by the server when /gc invite can't find the target online is clearer.

- All characters on an account (provided that one of the characters owns a house) now have owner permissions in the house no matter which server in a cluster those characters belong to.

- Based on feedback from our players and team leads, the number of kills necessary in order to earn titles for the Realm dragons, Legion of Darkness Falls, and Shrouded Isles epic monsters has been standardized and reduced.

Cross Server Guild And Alliance Notes

- With this version, cross server guilds and alliances can now be formed. Guilds created now have a "Home" server which matches the initial leader of the guild's home server. Players from other servers in your cluster will now be able to join your guild, and alliances including guilds from every server in your cluster are now possible. When necessary, the <guildname>-<servername> format will be usable, similar to dealing with matching player names.

- It is now possible to add a guild or player from another server to your house's access permission list. Players and guilds will still only be able to claim homes on their home server.

New Titles

- The following titles have been added for players who participate in killing Legion:

Demonslayer
Demonbane
Demonscourge
Dread Vanquisher of Legion

New Emotes

- The following new emotes have been added to the game:

/worship
/drink

Interface Changes

- When right-clicking on an ability (spell, style, etc), there will be an "Info" button available which will do the same thing as pressing the Delve key.

- When right-clicking on an inventory item, there will be an "Info" button to delve it, but there will also be Salvage, Craft, and Repair buttons that will be highlighted if any of those are valid options. For example, if an object is fully repaired, the Repair button will be disabled.

- If the object has a /use or /use2 ability, these will display beneath the buttons in the mini-info window. The icon and name of the spell will be listed, and the icon can be clicked and dragged to the quickbar. This can then be used to active the /use or /use2 ability directly. The tooltip for one of these icons on the quickbar will have the name of the spell which item is the source of the ability. Moving an item in your inventory which has a /use hotkey in the quickbar will properly update the hotkey so that it still works.

- Switching objects between the backpack and worn slots will now properly resolve the /use hotkeys for the object(s).

Character Art Notes

- We have fixed an issue where most of the male Valkyn eye color options would show up green.

- There is a new inventory icon for TOA Artifact Cloaks.

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

General Notes

- The following Shield styles have a new animation: Shield Swipe, Mangle and Numb.

- The Sledgehammer Hammer Style has a new animation.

- The Arctic Rift Axe Style has a new animation.

- Spiritmaster pets have received a slight graphic change. This change is only viewable in Catacombs and Darkness Rising clients.

- There is now delve information for Sprint, Sure Shot, Critical Shot and Rapid Fire.

- Spells or styles, including bleeds, slows, hinders and stuns, now properly display the effect inflicted in delves.

- Subclassing spells, Rise of Hurt and Rise of Pain, are now correctly self-only damage shield spells.

- The following classes have been given a forced full respec upon login: Bainshees, Friars, Infiltrators, Nightshades, Shadowblades, Thanes, Wardens and Warlocks.

Combat Style Changes

- Reactionary combat styles now provide a 3 second window in which the player may use the style. When a reactionary style is available for use (such as after you block your target and you wish to use a block reactionary style), the reactionary style will register as valid and trigger as long as you use it within 3 seconds. In general, this will make it much easier to successfully perform reactionary styles against enemy targets.

Critical Strike Style Changes

- A new stackable ABS debuff has been added to the Critical Strike line in the following manner:

8 Pincer - Pre-req: To side of target - Effect: ABS decrease 1%
29 Leaper - Pre-req: Hamstring - Effect: ABS decrease 2%
44 Rib Separation - Pre-req: Leaper - Effect: ABS decrease 5%

- Critical strike styles that require the attacker to be stealthed will now destroy any bladeturn spell. The attack will hit the target unhindered. (Note: Before this change, the critical strike style would simply bypass the bladeturn, and the bladeturn would still block the next style. With this change, the critical strike style will actually destroy the bladeturn, preventing it from blocking the next style following the critical strike.)

- Combat styles which require the attacker to be hidden will now only break through bladeturns when the combat style is executed successfully.

- Critical strike styles that require the attacker to be stealthed will destroy any brittle guards that try to block the attack. The attack will hit the target unhindered.

Realm Ability Notes

- In some instances, the Arms Length realm ability would break during combat or spell casting. This has been fixed.

- The Bonedancer Realm Ability, Allure of Death, now uses similar art as the new Bonedancer pet art.

Dazzling Array 1
Enervating Gas 2
Inebriating Fumes 1
Mental Siphon 2
Choking Vapors 1
Sense Dulling Cloud 1
Energy Tempest 3

- Banespike now has a recast timer of 5 minutes.

- The Master Level abilities Primal Agony and Agony Transmission no longer remove stealth when they do damage.

Bainshee

- The Bainshee line of Frontal Direct Damage spells (Bawler's Bruise, Bawler's Outrage, etc.) now have fall-off damage similar to PBAE spells, but based on position, not distance. The frontal 45o arc of these spells will still hit for 100% of the spell's damage. Outside of this arc, damage will start to drop off to the sides, to a minimum of 25% of the spell's damage at the edge of the spell's arc.

- Archery shots blocked by the Bainshee Wraith's Barricade spell line will no longer cause bladeturns to be removed.

Bonedancer

- Bonedancer pets have received a graphic change. This change is only viewable in Catacombs and Darkness Rising clients.

Friar

- The Friar Rejuvenation line has been adjusted in the following manner:

The group Heal-Over-Time spells have had their amounts of healing increased and time increased to 30 seconds instead of 15 seconds. Power costs remain the same.

Reaver

In 1.81 we adjusted spell timers of all classes to a new system due to overlapping issues with Sub-class abilities, Master level abilities, and class abilities. This adjustment was noted in 1.81 as follows:

"- Many spell and ability timers no longer overlap from Class Spells, Master Abilities and Sub-classing spells."

An inadvertent change to the Reaver lifetap spells occurred from this change, which allowed Reavers to cast lifetaps simultaneously instead of being limited to using one lifetap at a time. Because of this, we had to change lifetap spells back to the way they worked before. We apologize for any confusion about this issue. In the near future, we will be looking at rebalancing the Reaver class and we will pay close attention to improvements to the Soulrending line in particular.

Let The Games Begin!

- A new gaming craze is sweeping the realms. Trifecta has finally arrived! A card game of chance with fabulous prizes awaits the adventurous. Dealers (named "Trifecta Dealer") have appeared in the capitol cities (Classic, Shrouded Isles and Catacombs) as well as in the realm festivals. Try your luck today and see if you can get a Trifecta and win the big prizes! (Prizes are awarded randomly based on the number of matches made. Prizes and chances of winning are subject to change at any time. Celebrity voices were impersonated. Void where prohibited. Prohibited where void.) (You will love the prizes!)

- The Rules of Trifecta: Trifecta is a game of chance where the player is shown three decks of cards and chooses one from each of the decks. The decks are then shuffled and a card at random is chosen from each deck. If the player's choice and the card drawn match, they have a match. Players earn a random prize based on the number of cards matched. There are three tiers of prizes based on one match, two matches, or matching all three; referred to as a Trifecta. Each tier awards a random prize from a pool for that tier. The value of the prizes for each tier is based on how hard it would be to achieve that tier. To play, a character need only buy a token from the dealer and give the token to the dealer when they are ready to start. (Dealers also offer the rules of the game and a list of possible prizes.)

Quest Notes - General

- Royal Excursions: We have made some changes to the way Royal Excursion quests are given out in each realm. The named Lieutenants in each realm that used to offer tasks to players between levels 5 and 49 have been replaced with sets of four NPCs offering Royal Excursions to specific level ranges. These sets of NPCs can be found near the area previously occupied by the named Lieutenants - at the realm's portal keep, near the Shrouded Isles portal in the realm's starter town, and in the realm's capital city.

Players from levels 5 to 15 can receive Excursions from their realm's Sergeant.
Players from levels 16 to 30 can receive Excursions from their realm's Lieutenant.
Players from levels 31 to 45 can receive Excursions from their realm's Captain.
Players from levels 46 to 50 can receive Excursions from their realm's Commander.

- We've also made a change to the structure of the highest level Royal Excursions to allow players level 46 and higher to accept tasks from any level between 46 and 49. When speaking to the Commander, he will first ask players which level's Excursions they wish to view.

Quest Notes - Albion

- Dialogue recovery has been implemented for step 1 of the "A Warning >From the East" quest. In the event that a player closes their dialogue box prematurely, it will be possible to interact with Ambassador Sharifah to get her to continue with her dialogue.

The NPCs that received this change are the Saracen Infiltrator, Kobold Shadowblade and Lurikeen Nightshade. All other stealth detection NPCs in the Frontiers remain unchanged.

- To alleviate lag experienced at the primary border keeps (Sauvage, Svasud, Ligen), we have implemented a behind the scenes method to keep this area clear. If a character stays in the general vicinity of the border keep (5000 units) for more than thirty minutes, the character will be politely moved and warned. If they do not move out of the general vicinity (and stay out) within 15 minutes from the warning, they will be moved to their realm's relic village. Keeping the entrance area clear will help other characters load and zone efficiently.

- Ronac, an old epic storyline monster has had its aggression radius reduced.

- Midgard players will no longer /release inside a keep wall.

- Terrain artwork has been updated in the Lions Den battleground.

The names of the merchants and their locations - Rosella (Castle Sauvage), Idone (Svasud Faste), Rae (Druim Ligen), Beth (Caer Gothwaite), Gunilda (Aegirhamn) and Faella (Domnann).

- Say spam has been removed from the Dreaded Seal merchants.

- Frontier keeps will now spawn significantly faster. When the Keep Lord spawns all players within the keep at the time of the return of its Keep Lord will be forcibly removed and placed in the Strength Relic Frontier Village appropriate for the Realm of the keep. Example: If a player is within Bledmeer Faste as Vaylin returns then they will be removed by Vaylin and placed in the Midgard Frontier Village near the Strength Relic Temple.

- Dreaded Seals now benefit from the "underdog" server bonuses for Realm Points.

- The delve information for Testudo, when delved on Gaheris, has been changed so that it does not denote that it works on realm enemies. However, on all other servers, it still denotes that it does indeed work only on realm enemies.

- (Albion) Moved the portal master from Swanton Keep to Snowdonia Fortress to match the location of the portal masters in the other realms.

PVP SERVER NOTES

- Characters in the same battlegroup on PVP servers can no longer attack one another.

- (Albion) Moved the portal master from Swanton Keep to Snowdonia Fortress.

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.83 Release Notes
Class Changes and Art Revamps
April 19, 2006

===================================

VERSION 1.83 INTRODUCTION

Last year, we asked you where we should put our focus. The polls, message boards, and emailed feedback all pointed to RvR and Class Enhancements, TOA Changes, and Tradeskill Improvements. In version 1.83, we have made a great deal of progress on these top issues, with Class Enhancements being a large part of our focus.

In 1.83, we have delivered the following:

Hybrid Enhancements: We have addressed three hybrids for this version - the Valkyrie, the Paladin and the Valewalker. As with our last two patches, our goal was to give each of these classes enhancements to their current abilities. We are also introducing new abilities to make them more desirable in RvR combat.

Healing Enhancements: We have addressed the Cleric, Healer and Druid with an eye towards overall improvement, but especially their heal spells and underperforming spec lines. Here, we are extending the length of RVR battles. We are also enhancing the archetype's utility beyond simple healing/buffing.

Art Upgrades and Underwater areas: To ensure that Camelot remains the most visually beautiful MMO on the market, our artists have been hard at work revamping more than sixty structures in the game. Our content team has also added underwater adventuring in Midgard's homeland, and look forward to deploying the same to Hibernia and Albion in future versions. Finally, we have redesigned the Leirvik Battleground.

This means that the layout will have changed from what some may remember and the monsters will have been moved accordingly to match these new layouts.

- Tightened and slightly moved the location where players are ported to if they are teleported from the primary border keeps. This should prevent the rare case in which a player would be ported into an object.

- We have modified the mechanism that moves players from the primary border keeps if they remain in the area for too long. If a player now leaves the general area around the primary border keep, the new mechanism will reset the proper timers. The timers will then restart properly when the player returns to the primary border keep later. This will solve the issue of a player returning to a primary border keep and being moved sooner than expected.

- Caradawc has finally made the trip to the New Frontiers to join his ravenclan brethren.

- (Midgard) Fjall and his friends will no longer path all the way up the hill to Vindsaul Faste. This should prevent them from attacking unsuspecting players.

===================================

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.84 Release Notes
New Battleground, Class Changes and Art Revamps
June 21, 2006

===================================

VERSION 1.84 INTRODUCTION

Camelot is the premier Realm vs. Realm MMO on the market today. As part of our commitment to RvR, we have recently polled our customers with many popular RvR enhancement ideas. Our goal was to focus resources on these ideas throughout the remainder of the year. Based on community feedback and the results of our polling, this version introduces the following changes and additions:

New Level 45-49 BG: In this version, we have deployed a new battleground, Cathal Valley, covering levels 45-49, lower Realm Ranks, and lower Master Levels. The addition of this battleground addresses players in the level 45-49 level range who were frustrated by the inability to get groups and participate in New Frontiers RvR.

Underwater areas: The addition of underwater hunting areas in the classic areas of Hibernia and Albion is now complete with this version.

Since version 1.81, we have adjusted nineteen classes, in many cases making very significant changes. In this version, we assessed the impact of all of these changes as a whole, and we have refined these adjustments as needed. In many cases, we made additional improvements based on our assessment. (Please see all of the class notes below in the CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES section.)

Bolts: The bolt classes in the game have often struggled to find the proper role for these spells. While originally designed as opening gambits, the movement speed of modern RvR has significantly diminished this utility. In addition, bolts fail as standoff spells, as players cannot rely on bolts to hit opponents who are in combat. In this version, we have reduced the cast timers on bolts to allow them to be used as combat openers once again. We also altered the "target in combat" restrictions for bolts, allowing players to better use these spells in standoff situations.

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

New Battleground - Cathal Valley

- A new battleground named "Cathal Valley" is being introduced with this version. This battleground is a brand new type of 'open field' battleground, empty of keeps and towers. It is for players who are levels 45-49, with realm ranks of up to 4L9 and the master levels of up to ML5.

- Each realm has sent out a contingent of guards to protect their portal keep in the new battleground of Cathal Valley.

- A basic monster population has been given to Cathal Valley. This population includes camps of monsters, which are able to be charmed by the appropriate classes.

- The gatehouse doors on top of the milegates in Cathal Valley are realm-specific and they do not open. These doors require the player to left-click on them in order to be ported in or out of the small room. These doors are, however, able to be destroyed by enemies. Once destroyed, they may be repaired by players, but they cannot be upgraded. These doors will also not auto-repair.

Art Upgrades

- Several structures throughout the land have received upgraded art.

- All towers in the Bog of Cullen have received upgraded art.

- All Classic world lizard monster models and associated trophies have received upgraded art in the Catacombs engine client.

- All Classic world worm monster models have received upgraded art in the Catacombs engine client.

- Several Classic world goblin monster models have received upgraded art in the Catacombs engine client.

Master Level Experience Changes

- Almost every monster level 61 or higher is now worth some amount of Master Level experience. This includes monsters found throughout the game in Classic zones, Shrouded Isles, Catacombs, Atlantis, etc.

- Many monsters have had their Master Level experience values increased.

- Players are now worth more Master Level experience in RvR.

Player Command Additions and Changes

- The commands '/gc demote' and '/gc promote' now work on offline characters.

- A new command, '/gc removeaccount', has been added, which removes all character's associated with the same account as the target character from a player guild.

- The command "/gc who" now shows AFK players as .

- The "/gc officerdisplay" command has been replaced with "/gc webranks". The /gc webranks command determines whether characters in the guild will be listed with their ranks on the herald. The command "/gc webranks hide" will hide ranks, "/gc webranks show" will show ranks. Newly created guilds default to showing ranks.

- Added offline guild member removal support. This is performed with the /gc remove command and may be used on a targeted character or on a specified character with the form "/gc remove (name)" or "/gc remove (name)-(server)" for clustered servers.

- A new method for respecializing (/respec) has been added to the game, for cases in which some classes may be provided a respec for changes made to them during the patch cyle. This new "Mythic respec" is used by visiting one's trainer and typing the command "/respec mythic". This is a full respec and it will generate the usual confirmation window. Please also note that this type of respec does not expire and will not be deleted even if the character levels before using it.

Help Window Update

- Added additional information for upgrading or downgrading player houses.

Monster And NPC Notes

- Specialty titles have been implemented for NPCs providing special services. Examples of such NPCs are Realm Point Removers, Trifecta Dealers and Dread Seal Merchants.

- The title has been added to monsters whose abilities and tricks make their con deceptive. A yellow-con monster may require a full group to defeat, despite its equal level. Throughout the next several patches, the tag will be added to additional monsters as appropriate.

Bug Fixes

- The command /housefriend may now be used to add guilds whose names are comprised of a single word.

- The command '/gc buff' will now display current guild buff information to guild members on any server within a cluster.

- Guard spam will now display to guild members on any server within a cluster.

- Bonus experience messages will now display to guild members on any server within a cluster.

- The command '/housefriend account' will now allow access to characters which are based on any server within a cluster.

- Previously, if the group leader was out of range of a PvP kill on normal servers, only the group leader would receive gold. This has been fixed. If a group leader is now out of range of a PvP kill, the group leader will not receive gold, and any group members who are within range of the PvP kill will receive gold.

- The '/housefriend rank (rank)' command, which adds a particular rank of the guild associated with a house as a housefriend, previously required the rank to be specified as the string name of the guild rank. It will now accept either the string name or the numeric rank identifier (0-9), so '/housefriend rank 0' will add rank 0 of the guild as a housefriend. The resulting successful display message from '/housefriend rank (rank)' will now display the rank number in addition to the rank name.

- Previously, when some casters trained in certain spell lines, the caster would receive messages stating "You learn the XXX spell ability" with XXX being incorrect. This has been fixed.

- Players on horses must now dismount in order to pray and receive experience.

- The numerical value of delve information for power rend spells will now display correctly as positive instead of negative numbers.

- The list of commands shown when using "/gc" now includes "/gc logins".

- The /angry emote text has been updated to be grammatically correct.

- Fixed a discrepancy in how Dun da Behnn was being spelled in the chat window when targeting that particular outpost on the realmwar map.

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

General Class Notes

- For this version, all existing Valkyries, Valewalkers and Reavers have been granted a full Mythic respec. (Please see the note on "Mythic respec" above in the NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES section.)

- The Bleed effect from Dual Shadows will no longer be resisted. This also applies to both PvP and PvE servers.

- Fire and Forget pets - such as Theurgist and Animist pets - may once again be cast on Phase Shifted players. However, pets will still not actually damage a player who is Phase Shifted until the effect wears off. (Note: This change reverts functionality back to the way it worked before 1.83, based on feedback received from the player community.)

Bolt Spell Changes

- All single target bolts belonging to the Wizard, Runemaster, Eldritch, Shaman and Warlock have had their cast timers reduced by 20%. Thus, all bolt spells with a cast time of 2.5 seconds have been changed to have a cast time of 2.0 seconds, and all bolt spells with a cast time of 4.0 seconds have been changed to have a cast time of 3.2 seconds.

- Bolts have been changed so that they will no longer fail to hit a target in combat unless the target is being melee attacked by an enemy who is within a range of 200 units. In such cases, there is a 20% chance of failure for each attacker within a range of 200 units.

For example, there are three players - Player A, Player B and Player C. Player B is melee attacking Player A, and is within a range of 200 units. Player C is the bolt caster who is casting a bolt at Player A. Since Player A is being melee attacked by Player B, and Player B is within a range of 200 units, the bolt from Player C has an 80% chance of landing on Player A (not withstanding normal built-in hit/miss rates). However, if Player A has other attackers begin melee attacking at a range of less than 200 units, the chance of Player C's bolt hitting Player A will be reduced by 20% for each attacker. Therefore, if Player A is being melee attacked by two enemies within a range of 200 units, Player C's bolt only has a 60% chance of hitting; if Player A is being melee attacked by three enemies, then Player C's bolt has only a 40% chance of hitting; all the way up to five or more melee attackers, in which case Player C's bolt will completely fail to hit Player A.

This change is an improvement for bolt casters over how it functioned in the game prior to this version. Before, if a bolt caster attempted to hit a player who was in combat with one enemy - regardless of that enemy's range or type of combat - the bolt would fail 20% of the time. This also stacked up to 100%, but again with no discernment in the form of the attack. This new change does not penalize the bolt caster when his or her target is being attacked by enemies who are more than 200 units away in distance.

Master Level Ability Notes

- Banelord: All spells and Abilities, except for Demoralization and Zone of Unmana, have been made to interrupt other players who are casting.

- Banelord: The radius on the following abilities has been reduced to 750: Primal Agony, Oppression, Inexorable Defeat, Tactical Insight, Chaotic Power, Agony Transmission and Demoralization.

- The heal associated with Holy Staff will now pulse at a faster speed.

Hero

- Hunter's Lance damage and growth rates have been increased slightly.

Hunter

- Hunter pets will no longer trigger reactive armor procs on other players.

Necromancer

- When Necromancer pets are attacked, the shade will now see the attack messages in the correct (You are hit) message channel.

- If a Necromancer releases a pet (through zoning, releasing the pet, or by moving beyond tether range of the pet), the Necromancer will now be left with the same percentage of hit points that the pet had upon release. (Previously, the Necromancer would be left with 10% hit points regardless of how much health (under 100%) the pet had when released.) For example, if a pet is released with 50% hit points, the Necromancer will be left with 50% hit points as well.

Paladin

- A new instant cast Resurrection spell has been added to Chants which will Resurrect a dead realm mate with 25% power and 25% health at spec 35. This spell has a 5 minute recast timer.

- The recast time for taunt spells has been increased to 20 seconds.

TRADESKILL NOTES

With this version, we have begun a revamp of the tradeskill system. Due to the number of changes required, the revamp will take place over the course of several versions. For version 1.84, we have focused on changing aspects of the tradeskill system that will help us clear the way for the major changes to come.

General Tradeskill Notes

- Consignment tasks are now available for Spellcrafting and Alchemy, up to skill 650. Please note that only a select set of recipes for each tradeskill was chosen to be given as a consignment task; the recipes selected share some ingredients, to minimize the load on inventory space.

- The smith's hammer, sewing kit, planing tool, spellcraft kit, mortar and pestle, and alchemy kit are no longer required components for recipes. You will only need to be standing near the lathe, forge, or alchemy table if the recipe called for that previously.

- Spellcrafting and Alchemy components will now stack up to 200 and weigh a maximum of 5 pounds when fully stacked.

- Legendary weapon components are now stackable up to 50 (Torch of Innovation, Cauldron of Vivifying Water, Vial of Heavenly Breezes, Dust of Creation).

- Many items which are used in crafting have been added to monster treasure tables throughout the lands (excluding ToA).

- The damage bonus on Legendary Weapons will now work on any target except other players.

Alchemy

- The recipes for complex potions have been flattened so that crafted potions are no longer required as ingredients to make the final potion. Instead, you will only need a portion of the materials that were used for the ingredient potions. For example: Elixir of Might required both an Elixir of Strength and an Elixir of Constitution, along with ancient treant wood. You will now only need heated, dusty, and vapor distills and ancient treant wood to make the potion. (Note: This does not apply to Effects, Charges or Reactive Effects.)

- The recipes for the weariness and lethargy poisons have also been flattened so that crafted potions are no longer required as ingredients to make the poison.

- The extraordinary behemoth potion will now stack up to 50.

- Various tradeskill components for Alchemy, which were not included during the initial revamp of stack size and weight, have been adjusted accordingly. A stack of 200 now weighs 5 pounds instead of 50 pounds or more.

Armorcrafting

- Chain (Albion & Midgard), Scale and Plate recipes have been changed to no longer require liners as recipe ingredients. Due to this change, the recipe's ingredients have been altered to require the leather and cloth materials that were needed for liners (for example, if you needed 3 metal bars and a cloth liner for a recipe, you will now need 3 metal bars, cloth squares, and heavy thread instead).

- Steeple hat, crown, circlet, and wreath patterns will now stack up to 200. The weight for these patterns has also been significantly reduced.

Basic Crafting

- Spellcrafting and Alchemy have been added to Basic Crafting for all realms.

Spellcrafting

- All newly crafted caster staves have "50 Focus All" (on any newly created staff at any level) in the fifth slot. This allows the staves to be spell crafted in the other 4 slots and have the Focus bonus at no additional imbue cost. It should be noted that this focus bonus applies to all levels of all crafted caster staves.

- All Legendary Weapons now have the first 3 slots open for spell crafting. This will not retro-actively apply to existing Legendary weapons. Only newly created Legendary Weapons will have the first 3 slots open.

- The etched aquamarine eye will now stack up to 50.

Tailoring

- Liner and liner conversion recipes have been removed from Albion, Midgard, and Hibernia tailoring.

- Liner stores have been removed from all areas of the world.

- Steeple hat, crown, circlet, and wreath patterns will now stack up to 200. The weight for these patterns has also been significantly reduced.

NEW FRONTIERS WORLD NOTES

- The boat path from the dock near Hurbury to Nottmoor Faste has been fixed to drop you off near Nottmoor Faste rather than near Bledmeer Faste.

- The dock at Dun Crauchon has been moved. It is now on the coast facing the island that Dun Crauchon is located on; this brings it in line with the position of the docks at Caer Benowyc and Bledmeer Faste. Boat paths, NPCs, the map, and the like have been adjusted to accommodate the new dock location.

- Keep lords are now worth a substantial amount of Master Level experience.

- Removed a number of miscellaneous unused NPCs from the border keeps to help lag issues. This was done on both the Home Realm and Frontier side of the border keeps.

- New teleporters were added to the Frontier side of the border keeps. These teleporters will teleport players to the Frontier Towns. The teleporter will only function if the Relic milegates associated with the Frontier Town are closed.

GENERAL WORLD NOTES

Classic Underwater Changes

- Continuing the project started in 1.83 in Midgard, the ability to adventure underwater is being added to the classic zones of Albion and Hibernia. Players will find that they can now dive in and explore the depths of the rivers, lakes, and ocean front that litter their landscape. Monsters added to the Albion and Hibernia underwater areas currently do not have loot tables; this will be addressed as the patch cycle continues.

- Boat routes have been added to the Albion and Hibernian realms for the classic zones as part of the underwater upgrade. The boats function similar to the boats available in the frontiers. Dock masters for Albion can be found at Cotswold, Prydwen Keep, and the Prydwen Keep bridge. Dock masters for Hibernia can be found at Mag Mell, Tir na mBeo, Ardagh, and Howth. The dock masters sell tickets for the following boat routes:

Albion:

Cotswold to Prydwen Keep
Cotswold to Prydwen Keep bridge
Prydwen Keep to Cotswold
Prydwen Keep to Prydwen Keep bridge
Prydwen Keep bridge to Cotswold
Prydwen Keep bridge to Prydwen Keep

Hibernia:

Mag Mell to Tir na mBeo
Mag Mell to Ardagh
Mag Mell to Howth
Tir na mBeo to Mag Mell
Tir na mBeo to Ardagh
Tir na mBeo to Howth
Ardagh to Mag Mell
Ardagh to Tir na mBeo
Ardagh to Howth
Howth to Mag Mell
Howth to Tir na mBeo
Howth to Ardagh

- Along with tickets to the new boat routes, the dock masters also sell a new water potion that will work for characters of any level. This will allow players to explore the new underwater content at their leisure without worrying about drowning (at least for an hour). The effect of the 'standard nereid potion' will last for 60 minutes and the potion has 20 charges.

- Consignment tasks will no longer send players to the NPCs patronizing the Trifecta Dealer.

- The available teleport locations used by the major porter NPCs have been standardized. This means you should have the same available locations whether you use the porter in the border keep, the cities, or your house. You will also notice the number of options has increased overall with the consolidation of the porters.

- The keywords used by the major porter NPC's have been standardized. For example, all keywords to port to your guild house are now just [guild] instead of [guild], [guild house], or even [guild's house] as they were before. As well, some of the locations will recognize shortened versions of the keyword for sake of typing convenience. ex. Saying 'Ligen' will take you to Druim Ligen.

- The following pets will now perform emotes as commanded by their owner: The Necromancer abominations, the Enchanter underhill pets, the Spiritmaster spirit pets, the Cabalist pets and the Bonedancer commander pets. To issue the command you must target the pet and /say or /whisper the command word.

The word triggers are:

Dance, silly, pick me, stagger, doh, confused, tired, cold, stinky, look out, dismiss, beg, salute, military, present, shrug, agree, disagree, cry, slit, wave, rude, beckon, shy, cheer, victory, clap, flex, kiss, point, laugh, chicken, sweat, worship, lecture, surrender, forward, ponder and curtsey.

Monster Notes - Albion

- Added a djinn stone and server channeler to the Ruins of Atlantis.

- Added a server channeler to Oceanus Haven.

Quest Notes - Oceanus

- Ring of Unyielding Will: This encounter was modified so that the main monster, Mordom, will return to its original spawn area should he be pulled from that location during the encounter. Previously, it was possible that the monster could increasingly find itself away from its normal spawn in some circumstances.

- Aten's Shield: Increased the chance of finding Aten's Shield, making it is easier to get credit for this encounter.

- The Skyros Order, 30-39: The faction reward for this quest was increased. Players only need to complete the quest once to receive the required faction amount.

- The Skyros Order, 40-50: The faction reward for this quest was increased. Players only need to complete the quest once to receive the required faction amount.

- The Naxos Society, 30-39: The faction reward for this quest was increased. Players only need to complete the quest once to receive the required faction amount.

- The Naxos Society, 40-50: The faction reward for this quest was increased. Players only need to complete the quest once to receive the required faction amount.

- Enyalio's Boots: The chest that used to spawn Enaylio's Boots has been turned off as the item is no longer required to activate the artifact. The mechanism for encounter credit has not been changed.

- Cyclops' Eye Shield: Adjusted the 'bronzed guardian' and 'stone guardian' monsters to eliminate the chance that they go dormant while still engaged in combat. This fixes a rare bug where the guardians could go dormant and become unattackable during the course of an extended fight.

Encounter Notes - General

- Foppish Sleeves: The encounter was fixed so that the timer on the 'Blood Soaked Kibisis' functions properly. This will fix a rare issue where the timer would not function and snake guardians were not properly attracted to the player as part of the encounter.

Encounter Notes - Oceanus

- Aten's Shield: Modified this encounter to increase the chance of finding Aten's shield.

- Winged Helm: Reduced the odds of Hermes healing himself completely while his helmet is still on, giving players a better shot at killing him at this stage if they want to attempt the encounter that way. As well, hate and aggression generated by the harpies prior to the helmet being knocked off will now be wiped when the helmet is knocked off. This will give players a clean slate on Hermes if they wait to engage him fully until his helmet is knocked off and his self-heal has been stopped. With this clean slate, it should be very easy to establish hate and kill credit on Hermes.

Item Notes - General

- Players can trade the current version of Ceremonial Bracers for a Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Quickness, or Acuity version. Please see the following NPCs for this trade:

Albion: Artifact Scholar Jarron

- Players may now trade the current version of Eirene's Chestpiece for a Strength, Piety/Buff Bonus, Piety/Spell Range, or Charisma version. Please see Artifact Scholar Jarron for this trade.

Monster Notes - Hibernia

- Daewin, the trophy frog, has moved from his perch on the bridge from Ardee to Basar. He can be found on the shore next to the bridge now to escape the patrolling guards' wrath.

CATACOMBS WORLD NOTES

General Notes

- Added a new consolidated porter NPC to the Catacombs cities.

- (Hibernia) The Carrion encounter in the Hibernian Deadlands has been modified so that the wisps that start the encounter reset to their original spawn point after an appropriate amount of time when the encounter has failed. This should help prevent the wisps from migrating across the zone or getting stuck near the obelisk nearby. Note: You may still find monsters from this encounter near the obelisk if they were pulled there, but the change allows the encounter to reset better when the encounter has failed or been abandoned.

Quest Notes - Albion

- Hounds of Arawn: Group members who are neither on the quest nor at the teleportation steps will now teleport to the correct locations.

Instanced Adventuring Notes - General

- Dreanna in the 'Unused Mines' task dungeon has been moved slightly to correct a visibility issue with line of sight.

- Repathed one of the 'Burial Tomb' tasks dungeons so that the monsters inside will not fall through the floor. This should allow players with tasks in that dungeon to complete the tasks properly.

- Corrected the in-game map for the 'Burial Tomb' task dungeon noted above.

- The crypt maggots in the 'Realm of the Damned' can be targeted once again.

- New task dungeon entrances for players who are levels 1 to 10 have been added to the Ludlow and Vasudheim areas. These entrances lead to the same 1 - 10 task dungeons found in the starter town areas. New Taskmasters that give tasks designated for the new dungeon entrances have been added to Ludlow and Vasudheim.

- The boss monsters in the Darkspire instance are now worth a substantial amount of Master Level experience.

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.85 Release Notes
Tradeskills and Class Changes
September 6, 2006
===================================

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

EDIT: - Josiah the Animator now has a limit on how many skeletons he can summon. His skeletons now have a limited "life" span.

- In celebration of the five year anniversary mark for Dark Age of Camelot and in appreciation for all the players who made it possible; all players will receive a free Mythic Respec. To use this respec, go to your trainer and type "/respec Mythic" (without the quotes) in the command line.

- Clockwork Cat - As a token of appreciation, Royal Escorts located outside the throne room of each Realm will gift players who pre-ordered Labyrinth of the Minotaur with a special clockwork cat.

- Art has been updated for players in mummy, stone, and Shades of Mist forms (Catacombs and newer clients only).

- A number of NPCs erroneously displayed that they gave Master Level experience when they did not. This has been fixed, and they will no longer indicate that they are worth Master Level experience.

- Advanced trainers have been stationed in the starting towns (Cotswold, Mularn, and Mag Mell) by their guilds. Note that many of these trainers are new to training and may not offer all services those in the capital city might (such as beginning the epic quests, etc.).

- Fixed two bugs in the user interface in which tooltips were not being positioned correctly in tree controls.

- Changed /autoloot, /xpoff, /rpoff commands to take an ON or OFF parameter. Typing the command with no parameter returns the current status for that flag.

- XPOFF and RPOFF flag settings are considered important messages and are displayed to the player upon entering the game.

- The autoloot radius has been increased.

- In order to reduce confusion and possible accidental flag state changes, the "/xpoff" command is now obsolete. It has been replaced with the "/xp" command. This command takes one parameter, "ON" or "OFF". Typing "/xp OFF" will disable gaining experience for your character. Typing "/xp ON" will re-enable the gaining of experience. Typing "/xp" with no parameters will display the current state of this flag ( ON or OFF ), it will not change the state.

- In order to reduce confusion and possible accidental flag state changes, the "/rpoff" command is now obsolete. It has been replaced with the "/rp" command. This command takes one parameter, "ON" or "OFF". Typing "/rp OFF" will disable gaining realm points for your character. Typing "/rp ON" will re-enable the gaining of realm points. Typing "/rp" with no parameters will display the current state of this flag ( ON or OFF ), it will not change the state.

- A correction has been made to the autoloot message when the option is turned off. It used to say, "Use '/autoloot off' to turn this option off." Now it says, "Use '/autoloot on' to turn this option on."

CLASS CHANGES AND FIXES

Cabalists

- Simulacrum pets will now perform the entire range of emotes granted to other pets.

Hunters

- Hunters have a new instant-cast pet at spec 40 and 50 in Beastcraft with the following details:

40: Hunter's Elder Protector - Spawns at 85% of the Hunter's level and has a chance to proc Disease (Rabies) as well as perform various melee styles on the target.

50: Hunter's Elder Avatar - Spawns at 90% of the Hunter's level and has a greater chance to proc Disease (Rabies) as well as perform various melee styles on the target.

- The Wild Spirit line of pet cast Str/Con buffs is now instant cast, and the duration has been increased to 20 minutes.

Necromancers

- Necromancers should now be able to purchase and use the Realm Ability Purge.

- Fixed a rare bug in which Necromancers would not lose shade form when their pets went away.

- Tinderbox items can now be used by Necromancers while in shade form.

Bainshee

- Bainshees may now be interrupted while casting spells from the Deafening Screech spell line of taunt spells.

- The Audible Barrier line of group pulsing ablative auras no longer absorbs 100% of each hit. The spells will now absorb damage up to 50% of each individual hit.

Druid

- We've added two new spells to the Druid's Nature affinity spell line.

32 Nature Affinity Spec. "Call Greater Nature Tree"
45 Nature Affinity Spec: "Call Elder Nature Tree"

These tree pets should be functionally identical to the Bear Pet received at the same level. This is a cosmetic change with one minor difference. The Bear pet casts a disease spell called "Rabies," but the tree will cast a spell called "Spore Cloud." They should be identical disease spells with a different name and spell effect. The trees should also have a randomized model when summoned.

Paladin

- The Paladin's Barrier of Faith spell line and Celerity spell line will no longer share the same recast timer. Because of this change, the single magical resist chants will now share two timers. The Body, Spirit, and Energy chants will share one timer, and the Heat, Cold and Matter chants will share a second timer.

Left Axe Changes

- Decaying Rage is now a side positional style with a 5 second stun.

- Aurora Borealis now chains off of Decaying Rage.

Axe

- Valkyrie's Shield will be based off Evade for Berserkers and Shadowblades

Sword

- Frost Cut will be based off Evade for Savages.

Slash Changes

- Riposte for Infiltrators will now be based off Evade.

Dual Wield Changes

- Reflection for Infiltrators will now be based off Evade.

Thrust Changes

- Beartooth for Infiltrators will now be based off Evade.

- Ricochet for Infiltrators will be based off Evade.

Blades

- Horizon blade will now be based off Evade for Nightshades and Rangers.

Piercing

- Tarantula will now be based off Evade for Nightshades and Rangers.

Buff Changes

- Many buffs (self, pet-cast, group, and realm) are now uninterruptible and may be cast while moving. This change does not apply to self-only bladeturn buffs.

Master Level Ability Changes

Sojourner

We've strived to make Forceful Zephyr a more balanced ability, allowing it to be more reliable in use and more defensive in nature as per its original design.

To that end, we've made the following adjustments to this Master Level ability:

- Forceful Zephyr is now a targeted pet summon spell very much similar to a Theurgist Earth pet in terms of speed and functionality. The ground target aspects of the ability and thus the unreliability have been removed entirely. The caster must face the target during the initial casting and have adequate line of sight. This line of sight is not limited to just X and Y planes, as targeting on a different Z axis is possible.

- Forceful Zephyr will only ever hit the person originally targeted by the caster. It will no longer sometimes hit other enemy targets in its path.

- The Zephyr will chase after the target and only the target designated by the caster. It is possible to outrun the Zephyr during its lifespan if conditions are right.

- The Zephyr is immune to Crowd Control spells of any type and will not deviate from its target.

- The ability now has a 1000 unit range and remains an instant cast ability.

- The initial lifespan of the Zephyr is 10 seconds. If it catches its target the Zephyr will last an additional 7-10 seconds as it buffets its target around. If the target out runs or out maneuvers the Zephyr for the 10 second duration then the Zephyr will vanish.

- The Zephyr will randomly choose a direction when it hits its target and buffet the target in that direction, albeit at a slower speed than the initial burst of velocity demonstrated from caster to target.

- The Zephyr will chase a target under water if the target dives after the ability is used, though the caster cannot use the ability on a target above water if the caster is under water. The reverse it true for using the ability underwater.

- While the Zephyr is buffeting its target for the 7-10 seconds, the target is immune to damage through a pulsing melee and magic ablative. This immunity drops as the target gets dropped.

- The recast timer of the ability has been lowered from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

TRADESKILL NOTES

General Changes and Fixes

- The Alchemy weak essence of weariness recipe will now properly accept the greater enervating poison ingredient.

Basic Crafting

- Chain and Scale recipes in Basic Crafting will no longer require the use of liners.

Multiple Charge Potions

- All existing Alchemy potion recipes are now set up to create 3-charge potions. Please note that any potion created before this patch will not be affected. New potions created with these recipes will have the appropriate number of charges.

- We have added 6-charge and 9-charge recipe versions for each Alchemy potion. Alchemists will now have the option to create a 3-charge, 6-charge, or 9-charge version of each of their potions.

- Due to changing the potions to be multi-charge potions, newly crafted potions can no longer be sold to an NPC vendor.

- The recipes in Alchemy have been reorganized to fit the multi-charge potion recipes more cleanly into the recipe list.

Alchemy Potion Changes

- The durations for the Strength, Fortitude, Dexterity, Enlightenment, Might, Deftness, Shard Skin, and Speed potions have been increased from 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

- We have added reactive effect, weapon effect, and charge tincture recipes to Alchemy that provide new effects for crafted armor. The names and effects for these tinctures are listed below.

- Some of the higher level tinctures require a dropped component, which comes from the standard dropped components used in Alchemy. The following recipes that require this dropped component are as follows:

CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES

Oceanus Quests

- [Master Level 1 Final Encounter - Cetus] The Cetus encounter has been modified to prevent players from inadvertently killing Cetus with the mindslayers spawned from using 'Rassa's Mirror'. This means that the item should no longer be usable if the monster falls below 50% health and should not do enough damage to kill Cetus whenever it is used.

- Eternal Plant - Previously, this encounter would reset after a given amount of time if not completed successfully, requiring players to wait for the spawn conditions to be met again. Now, Sobekhotep should now remain up until the encounter is completed successfully.

- Winged Helm - The marble fighters and the marble figurines have had their level reduced to be more on par with the frightening harpies in the area.

Stygia Encounters

- Master Level 5.9 - When interacting with the 'hery seshta', players would occasionally be transformed into the wrong gender and race of mummy. This should no longer occur.

Cathal Valley Battleground - General

- Ever since the discovery of Cathal Valley, adventurers of all realms have wondered what the mysterious portal at the end of Cathal Valley represents. Observant adventurers will notice that the portal has shifted and revealed an enigmatic keep at the end of Cathal Valley! Guarded by the spirit of the previous keep lord, Keep Orseo is a mystery to all the scholars of each realm and a call has gone out to each realm's heroes to claim the keep so that the other realms will not be privy to whatever secrets the keep represents.

- With the revelation of the central keep in Cathal Valley, players have the opportunity to claim this strategic point for their realm. Once a realm claims the keep, it will populate with a contingent of guards to defend the keep on that realm's behalf until another realm comes along and kills that realm's keep lord.

- Several new vendors have set up shops near each of the realm's portal keeps. The new vendors include a recharger, a smith, a poison supplier, and an arrowsmith.

- A number of vendors can be found at the new central keep in Cathal Valley. The vendors available in the center keep include a recharger, a smith, a poison supplier, a wood merchant, and an enchanter.
