Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.63 Release Notes
June 24, 2003
=======================================
DARK AGE OF CAMELOT: FOUNDATIONS
With 1.63, Dark Age of Camelot: Foundations makes its debut. This is the optional housing expansion - you can download it if you wish. For more information about Foundations, go to www.camelotherald.com/housing/ where you'll find information about the expansion, including a user's guide, house descriptions, maps and other invaluable information.
Getting the Foundations Client
In order to install Foundations, you first must install the client. Here is a list of places where you can find the Foundations client:
- Download. It is approximately 55 megs. Go to www.camelotherald.com/housing for a list of download locations.
- From the CD included in the July issue of Computer Gaming World (SI Client Only).
- From the Dark Age of Camelot: Gold Edition (SI Client Only).
There are two different download options for Foundations: a Classic client version, and a Shrouded Isles version. Obviously, if you have Shrouded Isles, you must install the Foundations SI client, and vice versa.
Please note that the version of Foundations on the magazine CD and the Gold Edition CD will require about a 15mb patch when you first launch the game after installing. The magazine and Gold Edition CDs are for the SHROUDED ISLES CLIENT ONLY. If you have classic Camelot, you'll have to download the Foundations Classic client.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Added extended delve descriptions for all spells.
- Fixed a bug in delve where most '%' symbols weren't displaying properly.

- Fixed a bug with the /clock displaying the wrong times for noon and midnight.
- The Unique Object Generator focus staff drops should no longer be a "xxxxx Focus Staff" unless there is a focus bonus on the object. The generic name for the staves has been changed to "Invoker's Staff."

/yell
Chat Group
Guild Chat
Alliance Chat
Officer Chat
Emotes (/bow and /em )
CRAFTING NOTES
We've decided to remove some of the extra steps required in crafting items. The purpose of these changes is not to decrease the overall concept of time, or coin, that goes into these tradeskills, but to remove some of the extra possible frustration of the added layers that they create.
With this we have "flattened" Weaponcraft and most of Armorcraft. Flattening is the process in which we remove the extra steps needed to make a final recipe. Previous to this, if you wanted to make a weapon, you had to make two sub-components first, then combine them to make the final weapon. Now, you simply use the same amount of total materials that you would have making the sub-combines, and the same overall amount of time... but you fire off a single recipe. No more 100% quality hilts, just to get a 94% final weapon.
In Armorcraft, we've removed the need to create studs, wires, scales, and strapping (this also includes the various studded recipes in Albion Tailoring). We've replaced them with the best equivalent amount of raw materials, erring on the smaller side. This will cause the costs of the armors to change a minor amount, but nothing on a grand scale. And yes,
Armorcraft still requires Tailoring components. Please note that this change will cause a slight variance in the costs from what you are used to, but not by much.
Also, you will notice that most of the recipes in Weaponcraft, Armorcraft, Tailoring, and Fletching will now show you the level of the item that is created from said recipe, when you delve them. As we continue moving forward, we will continue trying to add more useful information to help the crafter do his job.
Other crafting notes
- Flattened the recipes for Weaponcraft and Armorcraft in all three realms, and Tailoring in Albion
- Added level values to most of the recipes in Weaponcraft, Armorcraft, Tailoring, and Fletching for all three realms.
- Added Woodworking recipes that allows for the ability to create smaller, or larger, versions of various pieces of furniture for housing.
CLASSIC CAMELOT WORLD NOTES

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.63B Release Notes
June 25, 2003
=======================================
IMPORTANT CRAFTING NOTE
Attention all crafters in possession of old straps, scales, studs, and wires: you will now find in your crafting recipe list a new recipe, one that simply converts your unusable components and turns them into another component. This new component will sell for 98% of the cost of the original ingredients. Please note that these conversion recipes are temporary, and will not last forever. So convert your old components as soon as possible!
This change was necessary to give crafters a way to convert into cash their now-unnecessary stores of ingredients, as we are phased out the use of straps, scales, studs, and wires in version 1.63.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- We've replaced the spell resist graphic (the "hand") with a more generic effect that is less intrusive and won't be confused with a normal spell effect.
- Making hotbar buttons out of command window buttons should now work.
- The leader of the chat group will now be displayed at the end of a "/cg who" list.
- In the 1.63 patch notes, we said "We have added guild bounty point merchants to coincide with the bounty merchants in the capital cities and expansion starting cities. The NPC names are as follows (insert list of names)." This note was a bit premature, and those merchants are not yet active. To re-emphasize - you currently cannot use GBP to pay rent on the live servers, only Personal bounty points on a house that you personally own or a guild house where you are guild rank 0.
- The following housing decorations were incorrectly priced and now cost 10 gold apiece:
* The tall shrubbery garden item.
* The holly shrubbery garden item.
* A holly hedge.
FOUNDATIONS WORLD NOTES
The following lots are now working correctly:
Albion
- Lot 100 in Oakwick
Midgard
- Lot 1749 in Raisgill
- Lot 1984 in Middleton
- Lot 1997 in Ashmere
Hibernia
- Lot 3400 in Glantane
WORLD NOTES
- Midgard: Aiesill has returned to his post in Jordheim.
- Co-operative server and PvP servers: the Medallion Master in Tir Na Nog will now correctly sell a "Medallion of Midgard Hearth Passage" in addition to the other ports available.

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.63B Release Notes
June 25, 2003
=======================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug where permissions from one house would show the permissions from a previous house whose permissions were viewed, and then update the server with the invalid set of permissions.
- Fixed a bug where selling some stackable objects resulted in an erroneous message that the object was unsellable. Crafters would have run into this problem more than any other class as they sell their stacks of converted studs, etc. You can now sell these objects.
- Fixed a display problem where consignment merchants in housing zones would not show more than 37 items in their store list. The objects were actually there, but they were not displayed.
- Fixed a couple of housing-related windows to better display long guild names.

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.64 Release Notes
Tuesday, August 12, 2003
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Upgraded keeps that are /released will now return to un-upgraded levels. Previously, when a guild claimed and upgraded a keep, then later released the keep, the guards would retain some of the bonuses for being upgraded (including having the appearance of being upgraded guards) even though the keep was unclaimed. In addition to the keep reverting, all the NPC guards will now revert to normal un-upgraded status when a keep is released.
- The Mastery of Arms realm ability should now be affecting attack speed properly.
- We have fixed all known icon problems with regards to combat styles and spells. No changes were made to the actual styles or spells, only the icons were changed.
- Using the /lastname command without entering a new last name will now allow characters to erase their current last name, as requested by the Role Playing Team Lead.
- The CHAT.LOG file will no longer be automatically closed when you zone. It will still close when you exit the game to go back to the character select screen.
- Information from delve, /relic, /realm, etc, are now written to your chat.log.
- A new /effects flag, group, which will show any spells cast on or by your group members. (Settable by /effects group or in the options menu).
- New naming options, in both the /hidenames and /shownames command as well as the options dialog. Before: Self, Players, Monsters, Gravestones. Now: Self, Players, Monsters, Gravestones, Groupmates, Guildmates, Enemy Players.
- A new /faceloc command has been added. This will turn your character to face these local coordinates.
- Salvages on stacks of items will now return the correct amount of salvage materials. If there are not enough items in the stack to return anything, an error message will be returned to the player and the salvage will not take place.
- The error messages that previously occurred when you were too close to another repo man and trying to remove an object from your vault have been fixed. Note that a few of the repo man error messages (Wrong realm, doesn't service this vault) will no longer appear, instead only a generic "You aren't close enough to a vault or a consignment merchant!" message will appear.
- The /release house command is no longer case sensitive.
- Studded armor will check armor crafting and tailoring for Albion players and use whichever skill is higher for repairs.
- Lockbox and consignment monies will combine to pay a house's rent if neither alone has enough, but their combined sum is.
- A consignment merchant can no longer sell items if it is already holding over 200 plat.
- You can no longer sell items back to get more than 200 platinum on your character.
- '/sshot ' -- will allow you to give a base name for your screenshots. For example, to name your screenshots: Raid-01.jpg, Raid-02.jpg, type: /sshot Raid
- A new slash command, "/househelp". Normally, most of the housing popups are shown only the first time you do things. Typing /househelp will cause them to be shown again.
- Right clicking on Spellcrafting and Alchemy items in Consignment Merchant windows will now show their normal mini-info quick description.
- Fixed a bug where you could port into the housing zone and no houses would appear.
- When you click on a house, it will now print the house owner's name and the lot number to your system message buffer.
- Added an extra tag at the end of weapons and armor on consignment merchants - both types will now show quality, armor will show AF and weapons will show DPS in the merchant window:
arcanite two-handed sword [200g] (99%, 15.1 dps)
heavy caliocht vest [200g] (100%, AF 35)
- Archer line of sight is now checked both at the draw and the release of a shot.
CLIENT PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS
We have added a new performance option to decrease hitching and pausing in key game situations: when first going into towns or portal keeps after zoning, and first encountering large RVR groups of enemies from other realms.
The option is under the "Config Performance" menu that allows you to control how the client loads skins from disk. This will allow you to partially load some of the textures the game uses to avoid hitches and pauses in key game situations.
- [No Precaching] will work largely as before.
- [Precache Armor Skins] is the suggested regular setting. Armor skins will be partially loaded into memory. It will take up more memory on average than [No Precaching], but it will eliminate some hitches and pauses.
- [Precache All Skins] is recommended for machines with >512MB of RAM. This option will cause the game to take up more memory, but should significantly decreases hitches as you run around the world.
These options are documented in-game in the "Config Performance" menu (under "Options" at the character select screen.)
We have optimized the creation of houses as you move around the housing zone. You should experience far less hitching and lag as you move around or zone into these zones.
THE PLAYER MARKET SYSTEM
Dark Age of Camelot now has a new player market system, where player crafters can choose to publish all the wares being displayed on their consignment merchants to a database than can be searched by other players. Please note that this system will only be available in housing zones.
If you are a merchant, to publish the contents of the consignment merchant that you own to the search engine database, type "/listmerchant". Typing /listmerchant again removes your merchant from the database. Once a merchant is in the database, all changes to that merchant will be updated on the fly (price changes, adding items to merchant, items being sold from merchant, etc) with no further intervention from the user. Note that /listmerchant will only work when you are near a house you own.
To search the consignment merchant database, you will right click on the Market Explorers that are placed at the entrance to each area, as well as in the central market of each zone. Use the window to enter information about the item you are searching for, and click "search". A list of all items matching your search criteria will be returned to you in pages of 20 items at a time. You can page through the items using the Previous and Next buttons."
Please note that when you get a list of items back from your search, you will be given a lot number where the consignment merchant selling the item can be found - you must then go to that merchant to purchase the item.
Skill lists on the Player Market Query window will only show those skills available to your realm (except on Gaheris, Mordred, and Andred where it will show skills from all three realms).
NEW ROLEPLAYING CHAT FILTER
1.64 has a new feature for Roleplayers, an "/rpfilter" that lets you filter out commonly used game terms and abbreviations for any text that you wish. It works as follows:
/rpfilter will filter your clients chat, eg:
/rpfilter LFG looking for group
So if anyone in chat says "/s LFG blah blah blah" your client will actually print:
So and so says, "looking for group blah blah blah".
The chat is only altered client-side, the server and logs will have all the original text as it was typed.
Restrictions:
- The string to replace must be between 3 and 10 characters long.
- The string to replace it with may be between 1 to 20 characters long.
- Case insenstive (lfg is treated the same as LFG, lFG, LfG, etc)
- The new RP filter will try to not replace words that are parts of larger words. It does so by checking either side of the search string to see if there are characters around the letters it tries to replace. So, in the case of "/rpfilter LFG looking for group"
LFG -> looking for group
xLFG -> xLFG
xLFGx -> xLFGx
LFG!! -> looking for group!!
NEW ITEM FEATURES
- In this patch, we have added new bonus types to our dropped items. These bonus types are detailed below. At this time, these features are only available for the classic Camelot dragon loot and Shrouded Isles class-specific epic dungeon armor.
- The existing items on classic Camelot dragons have been upgraded with these new bonus types, and new items added to their treasure tables. Please note that a few items were near or at the desired bonus point level, so those few items did not receive any noticeable increases. No bonuses were lowered on any of the existing dragon items.
- The Shrouded Isles class-specific epic dungeon armors have also been tweaked to get rid of mutually exclusive bonuses. Players who already have some of these items may notice a few new features in the delve information.
- ALL magic skills - This bonus will increase your skill in any and all of your spell lines. In other words, if your item is updated to have "ALL magic skills: +3", then all of your spell lines (if your class has multiple spell lines) will have a +3 skill increase from that item.
- ALL melee weapon skills - This bonus will increase your skill in many weapon types. This bonus does not increase shield, parry, archery skills, or dual wield skills (hand to hand is the exception, as this skill is also the main weapon skill associated with hand to hand weapons, and not just the off-hand skill). If your item has "All melee weapon skills: +3" and your character can train in hammer, axe and sword, your item should give you a +3 increase to all three.
- Focus: ALL spell lines - This bonus will give you focus for all your focus spell lines. "Focus: ALL spell lines: 50" would mean that your focus staff gives you 50 focus in darkness, suppression, and runecarving, if you're a runemaster.
- Acuity - This bonus will increase your casting stat, whatever your casting stat happens to be. If you're a druid, you should get an increase to empathy, while a bard should get an increase to charisma.
- The "old" dragon items from Cuuldurach, Golestandt, and Gjalpinuva will now drop made of level 10 materials, instead of the standard classic Camelot level 8 materials. Unfortunately, this does not apply to existing original dragon items...to accomplish this, totally new items had to be made that are copies of the original set of dragon items, because an object's material cannot be changed retroactively. Of these new items, most armor pieces are set to be reactive procs now, and some of the less popular weapon procs are changed to more favorable ones.
CRAFTING NOTES
- Added new "level 51" weapons into Fletching and Weaponcraft to help give a slightly broader choice of weapons now for various specs. This has caused the side-effect of increasing the "max skill" for these tradeskills, due to where the new weapons ended up in the skill range.
- Fixed the levels that were shown when delving Fletching recipes. This is a manual entry and was off by a single level, or so, in a few of the items.
- Tried to spread out the new "level 51" Fletching recipes to help fill in the various skill gaps that existed in the recipes. We will review this going forward to see if any additional changes are required.
- All forges and lathes have been updated with the housing graphic.
- Note: The new magus staff has a hidden restriction that will not allow it to be equipped by anyone other than a focus caster.
CRAFTING BUG FIXES
- Changed the "osnadurtha gauntlet" recipes to be labeled "osnadurtha gloves" since that is what is made from said recipes.
- Corrected spelling on the various "mammalogy" potions.

- Hibernian spiked mace recipes now show the levels of said weapons.

FOUNDATIONS NOTES
- A new housing zone has been introduced in each realm:
- Old Sarum in Albion.
- Arothi in Midgard.
- Dunshire in Hibernia.
- With the introduction of the new housing zones, we have increased the decay rate on the reverse auctions of the housing lots. Lots will now drop at 1.2 platinum per hour, instead of the 500 gold per hour decay rate. Further, the minimum price on a housing lot has been lowered to 300 gold.
- Permission level for Consignment merchant added with Deposit/Remove items, and Withdraw cash permissions.
- Permission level added to allow players other than the owner to pay rent. Please note that this is cash-only; others cannot pay rent with Bounty Points.
- CLASS friend type added to house permissions. Now you can set up your house to include or exclude certain classes.
- RACE friend type added to house permissions. Now you can set up your house to include or exclude certain races. This was added at the request of the Roleplaying Team Lead.
- Vault IDs are now displayed when the vault is opened.
- We have added a new /bountyrent command. This will allow players to directly pay for their house rent with bounty points, rather than purchasing tokens which may not be correct in value. This will also only allow players who are guild leaders to pay with their own guild bounty points - rather than a guild leader buying bounty tokens for his own house - or buying guild tokens and using them on a future guild house. The syntax is /bountyrent personal/guild . The amount is the number of bounty points you wish to spend. Each bounty point is worth 1gp in rent. Only house owners and guild leaders can perform this command.
- When placing a garden object, the player will be told how many more slots are remaining in the garden.
- When placing an interior object, the player will be told how many more slots are remaining in the interior.
- If you are the primary owner of a personal house, your house lot # will be displayed in the 'Additional Information' section of your character sheet.

- A Taxidermy Supplies merchant is now available to purchase from the interior housing merchant hookpoints.
- The Nosdoden Wall Trophy should now place correctly.
- Easmarach should now drop Easmarach's Remains as intended.
- The scale of the Nkosi Floor Trophy has been toned down to better fit inside the houses.
- The portal keep and Shrouded Isles teleporters for sale in the houses have been combined. There is now one NPC for each realm that can be purchased in your house that will teleport to both locations. All old NPC's have been replaced with a combined NPC.
The names for the NPCs are as follows:
Svasud Faste and Aegirhamn Teleporter
Druim Ligen and Domnann Teleporter
Castle Sauvage and Gothwaite Teleporter
- Since the portal keep and Shrouded Isles teleporters have been combined into one NPC, players who wish to dispose of their old Shrouded Isles teleporters can sell the Gothwaite Harbor Teleporter object, Domnann Grove Teleporter object, or Aegirhamn Teleporter back for full purchase price.
- Players in Hibernia can now obtain mantid trophies by killing Klzkizk and Kriszixk.
- Trophy items are no longer sellable to npc merchants for 2cp. They can still be sold to other players.
- We have slightly altered how the Hearth passage scrolls and medallions work. If you own a lot or a house, the medallions will function as they always have. However, if you do not own a lot or a house and try to use the Hearth passage items, it will now teleport you to the entrance of the housing area instead of previously where it would do nothing at all and still use the medallion or scroll.
- The Dye, Tincture & Enchantment Supplies merchant should now have all the appropriate catalysts.
- Two new signs have been added to the garden signs store, House for Sale and Battle Plunder for Sale.
- The low hedge, barrel, two barrels, and three barrel stack available from the garden store should now have the intended prices.

===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.65 Release Notes
October 8, 2003
===================================
Version 1.65 is the first patch where many of the balance changes came directly to us from feedback from the community via the reorganized Team Lead program. Of course there are other sources for player feedback to reach us, but the Team Lead program is designed specifically to monitor, assess, and relay community feedback to us.
For those who are unaware, a few months ago, we hired a producer to be in charge of Realm balance; to work with the Team Lead program to focus feedback and give suggested changes. 1.65 is the first live Camelot patch to show the fruit of this labor. We want to thank all the Team Leads, the Pendragon testers, and everyone else in the community that gives us constructive feedback for their efforts in making Camelot a better game. We hope that this live version is the first of many to make Camelot more fun and balanced for everyone.
As noted on the Herald, this patch will bring change to the overall RvR experience in Camelot.
- The frontier keeps now have a new layout to provide variety in keep taking, as well as to shift the focus from a single door fight to a courtyard fight at many of the keeps.
- We have implemented a login check to prevent attackers or defenders from "camping" a frontier or relic keep with alternate characters.
- Based upon Team Lead and Player feedback, we have implemented many RvR-centric class, combat style and realm ability changes.
- New siege weapon art is in place for all siege equipment.
- The resist system has been updated to lower the effect of extremely high resist cases and to lower the extreme effectiveness of casters resist debuffing their own damage.
Further, many PVE changes have been incorporated into this patch.
- Three additional bonus zones on the Shrouded Isles client have been unlocked. See the Shrouded Isles section for details.
- New crafting quests to aid crafters have been introduced.
- The drop rates of lower level monsters has been increased, to help lower level players keep their equipment at an appropriate level.
And, finally, in response to player feedback, we have incorporated some long-requested features into the game - such as the /hood command and spell list organization for non-cloth casters.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug that in some cases was causing increased resist rates for direct damage spells on epic (level 65+) monsters.
- All old world dragons have become more resistant to attacks from extremely small raiding parties (less than 3 groups). This does not affect the way the dragons will fight at all; it only changes the minimum number of people that need to fight the dragons to kill them effectively.
- The /gc autoremove account command is now active. This command allows you to autoremove all of a player's characters from your guild - including any alternates. Note that this command will fail in total when attempted on a guild leader's account.
- All possessive class titles in Midgard have been fixed.
- All known spelling errors in spell text have been fixed.
- Gaining the points necessary for more than one realm level will now award you the correct number of realm skill points.
- Spell resists from realm abilities are now displayed and applied separately to the character, which should reduce some of the extreme cases of very high resistances.
- Previously, resist debuffs counted double versus resist buffs. This has been changed to make them count normally against item, buff, and racial resists.
- The amount of aggro generated by any damage add or damage shield spell has been reduced.
- Added the 'Stormcalling' spec line to the Player Market Query interface.
- We have added a new channel to the system window, "Resists Changed" messages. Any time your resists change from equipping items or spells (including those cast by Animist turrets), the messages will be printed in this channel, which can now be toggled. You can toggle the colors and display of these prints by right-clicking on the system text window.
- You should now see a pulsing "sprint" icon when sprinting.
- You should now be able to place instruments on the walls of your house.
- When you use the F7 key to find nearest object - it should select the coins first if a monster drops multiple objects.
- Guild permissions, when set, should now propagate to all zones much more consistently.
- Monsters should no longer turn with your character after being stunned.
- There is now a gold amount line printed in the chat window after completed trades.
- Mythic Customer Service now has the ability to set a "Server Message of the Day" on each server.
- Many of the items that can be found in Darkness Falls have been reviewed and determined to be weaker than what is appropriate to the level of the item. To correct this problem new items have been created based on the original item design, but with more level appropriate magical bonuses. These new items can be found both available for purchase with seals and dropped from important monsters around the dungeon. The original items will no longer be available for purchase nor will they drop from monsters. Combined with the new items, the Darkness Falls merchants have had their stores reorganized. Due to this reorganization, the Albion merchant imp Daro is no longer necessary and has been removed.
- All NPC triggered teleports now should teleport players at the proper angle of arrival. This should primarily be noticed when using gatekeepers.
- The information button in the class trainers' window was not working correctly. It displayed all styles and abilities as being rewarded at one level higher than it was supposed to. This also meant that level 50 styles rolled over to level 1. This bug has been fixed.
INTERFACE CHANGE AND BUG FIXES
- The /hood command is now implemented. Players wearing hooded cloaks can switch between hood up and hood down with this command. Default for hooded cloaks is hood down.
- Ability Casters (non-cloth wearing casters) will now have their spells displayed by spec line and spell level, similar to 'List Casters' (cloth wearing casters).
- We now, by default, display RvR combat deaths in the color of the realm scoring the kill.
Example:
(green text) Bob was just killed by Hibchar!
(blue text) Bob was just killed by Midchar!
(red text) Bob was just killed by Albion Keep Lord!
- There is now a graphical timer that shows how long your character has before autoreleasing after death.
- Nodrop/Notrade/Nodestroy items now display as such in delve.
- Quickcast will now grey out (like other spells/abilities with recast
timers).
- Added new bindable keys for Right Handed Weapon Slot, Two Handed Weapon Slot, and Ranged Weapon slot. Pressing these keys will act the same as if you had dragged the icon to the quickbar and clicked on it.
- In the /realm screen, it now lists keeps that have been claimed by a guild.
- You can now type "/afk " and it sets an autoresponse message when someone gives you a tell. "/afk" with no argument clears the message.
- Fixed a bug where keys that were held down (such as Ground Target,Mouselook, etc) would not work in high framerate situations.
- Fixed a bug where a key bound to 'Shift-' could fire when pressing just shift under certain situations and keybindings.
- Added new slash commands, /rpfilteron and /rpfilteroff to enable and disable the RpFilter. This flag saves on zoning and logging.
- Styles that must be performed from Stealth now correctly state this when delved.
- Direct damage spells should now delve correctly.
- All SI classes should now show up under the proper categories in the LFG windows.
RVR KEEP CHANGES
- We have introduced a new frontier keep layout at all frontier keeps except for Dum Crimthainn, Caer Erasleigh, and Nottmoor Faste, which will keep the old layout. This keep layout adds an interior door at the lord tower, and removes one of the doors at the gatehouse. Additionally, new doors have been added at each rampart into the lord tower. These new doors will only allow players from the realm that owns the keep to enter and exit the tower.
- We have replaced the Battlegrounds keeps with the new frontier keep layout.
- A group leader can now claim outposts for his guild with any full group of 8 players. Claiming will require confirmation of agreement by all group members.
- The experience bonus near frontier keeps now matches that of dungeons.
- When a frontier keep is claimed by your guild, with the guild and new frontier bonus, you will now get the highest experience bonus in the game when hunting around that keep.
- Players who attempt to log in near a frontier keep or relic keep that is "under attack" or owned by an enemy realm will now be moved to a "safe point". "Under attack" is defined as when the doors are actively taking damage or are completely broken open. The safe point for attackers is the portal keep of the enemy frontier they are in. The safe point for defenders is the border keep with the portal pad of the frontier they are defending.
- Note that players who go linkdead near a frontier will have a 10 minute "window" during which they can log back in without being moved to the safe point.
- Some of the regular courtyard guard contingent of the relic keeps have been associated with keeps throughout the frontier. When a keep is under enemy control, the guard associated with that keep will no longer be available to assist in relic defense.
- Players can no longer climb up two of the climb points at Dun Crimthainn. They have been blocked in order to give Crimthainn four climb points like all of the other frontier keeps.
CLASS UPDATES
- Single line respecs have been granted for Savages, Cabalists, Enchanters, Runemasters and Spiritmasters as a result of the changes below.

- A bug in Savage's chances to triple or quad has been fixed. Savages should now triple more frequently than before, and quad less frequently than before. Due to this, overall savage damage should decrease.
- Savage buffs have been halved in duration, and had their health cost halved.
- The Savage "Irreverent Gesture" line has been changed from a shout to a four second cast time.
- Savage buffs now subtract a percent of your maximum health, not your estimated health. Since estimated health was lower, this is an increase from what it used to be.

Sorcerer/Cabalist changes
- Added a L50 baseline lifedrain in the Body Destruction list (Essence Devourer).
- The Minor Vitality Drain line in the Sorcerer/Cabalist Body Destruction list has had its damage increased slightly.
Cabalist/Enchanter/Runemaster changes
- The Diminish Immunities line in the Cabalist Vivification list, the Vex of Cold line in the Runemaster Runes of Destruction list, and the Amplify Heat line in the Enchanter Empowering line have been reduced from 15 to 8 seconds. These three lines debuff damage types the caster herself can cast, which makes the leeway provided by the increased "teamwork" duration the other resist debuff lines have unnecessary.
Cabalist/Enchanter/Spiritmaster changes
- The focus damage shield spell lines found in the Cabalist, Spiritmaster and Enchanter spell lists have been adjusted so that using them against monsters or players higher level than the =caster= has reduced effect. These spells have been used in exploitive ways that make certain encounters much easier than originally intended. Players will now have to use more conventional tactics to get past high-level encounter areas.
Warden Changes
- Increased range on Nature's Revenge chant to 1500.

- Added new ice summon spells in the Theurgist Refrigeration list at levels 32, 40, and 48.

- Spells cast by Theurgist ice elementals have been tuned to cast faster, do more damage, and scale appropriately with level to help deal with resists.
REALM ABILITY CHANGES
- The realm ability Empty Mind was not functioning properly. It has been fixed, and the effects and costs have been lowered. Empty Mind now grants 5% resistance per level at a cost of 3, 6, and 10 for levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. All players who had previously purchased this ability have had the ability removed and the cost refunded.
- Spell resists from realm abilities are now displayed and applied separately to the character, which should reduce some of the extreme cases of very high resistances. As a result of this change, all players who had previously purchased the realm ability Brilliant Aura of Deflection and/or Avoidance of Magic have had these abilities removed and the costs refunded.
- Volcanic Pillar's radius has been changed from 700 to 500 to bring the ability more in line with the original intent of the design. All players who had previously purchased this realm ability have had the ability removed and the cost refunded.
- Note that the refunded abilities above can be re-purchased by players. They still exist, with the modified abilities above.

These rewards can be gained through quests given by your tradeskill masters in the capital cities of each realm. Players must have a minimum skill level of 500 and be a minimum of level 5.

SHROUDED ISLES WORLD NOTES
We are proud to introduce a new free zone expansion to our customers who have Shrouded Isles. Each realm has a new zone available for use by anyone who has Shrouded Isles installed. These zones are targeted for players who are level 35 or higher. The new zones can be reached by either swimming to them or by using one of the new flying creatures routes available from the nearest faction based creature tamer.
Albion: Inishail Island
Directly west of Gwyddneau is the foggy marshlands of Inishail Island. The island has a large presence of orcs who were fleeing from the constant attacks of the ogres, but who now unfortunately have instead come into contact with hostile lammias who came to the island to eradicate any undead presence on Inishail. These two factions are now battling for control of the island while avoiding the marshlands, where slimes and sinkholes abound and threaten to kill anyone who ventures into the swamp. Adventurers wishing to explore the island can swim from the shore or if they are liked by the lammia, they can visit Nimea in Clifton for a quicker way to the lammia encampment on Inishail Island.
Midgard: Modernagrav
The eastern rockwall of Faraheim has been destroyed by morvalt who are following rumors that the Mother can be found on the island east of the rocky barrier. They were saddened to find that the only thing on the island was a huge, half-buried, ancient skeleton with a large undead presence guarding the remains. Fearing the remains were the Mother, the morvalt have set up a camp to try and contact the spirit. The iarn dwarves have heard of the new island as well and have sent some explorers to the area to investigate. The friends of the iarn dwarves will be pleased to find that they can talk to Minerva in the new iarn dwarf settlement in Faraheim for an unusual trip to her brethren in Modernagrav.
Hibernia: Allta Fearann
For generations, a legend has spread through the ranks of the mantids telling of an untamed land. The mantids believe their legend is finally becoming reality. They have found a great island untouched by mortals which they have named Allta Fearann. Though a closely guarded secret by the mantids, it has been discovered that this new land is off the coast of World's End. The mantids realize that they are not strong enough to complete their exploration of the land alone, and are allowing those who have shown their friendship a quick passage to Allta Fearann from their base in World's End to help them tame these wild lands. Dalniver is the contact for those wishing to use this passage.
- There are new ridable routes to the new faction based mounts. These new routes will all require you to have the proper faction to use the mounts (the same faction as the destination points), to ensure players do not accidentally take a trip into a hostile area. The new merchants can be found in the following areas:
Albion: Vilmalin can be found right outside Caer Diogel and will sell players a ride to Clifton.
Midgard: Korlis can be found just outside Hagall and will sell players a ride to the Iarn dwarf outpost in Faraheim.
Hibernia: Zrrazk can be found just outside of Necht and will sell players a ride to the Krrzck outpost in World's End.
Quests- General
- We have added quests to the new SI zones for players level 36 and 49. The level 36 quests must be completed before starting the level 49 quests. They begin with the following NPC's: Hibernia - Xaxnxi, Midgard - Shiake, Albion - Veena.
- Rumors have run rampant throughout the realms of strange visions of a far away place filled with incredible creatures and amazing treasure. Many young adventurers have heard these rumors and decided to find out the truth for themselves. Some are seeking help in order to begin their journey or to assist one who has already made his way there. Will you assist them with their journey into the unknown?
Albion adventurers should visit Gothwaite Harbor and talk to Squire Wellings.
