• Open courtyards with no inner keep
• Relatively close and equidistant to Agramon
• Siege weapons cannot be deployed around them

• The ceremony will occur every 3 minutes instead of the old value of every 15.
• The ceremony will port everyone standing on the pad to the portal keeps mentioned above with no need to wear a necklace. Because of this, apprentice teleporters have been placed just outside of the portal pad that will see to your normal porting needs.

 
 
Portal Stones and Keep Porting changes

• Realm portal stones have been removed from the following locations and these locations can no longer be teleported to via the remaining stones:

  • Castle Sauvage Border Keep
  • Snowdonia Border Keep 
  • Svasud Faste Border Keep
  • Vindsaul Faste Border Keep
  • Druim Ligen Border Keep
  • Druim Cain Border Keep

 
The remaining Portal Stones will function as before:

• The center keep in each realm, permanent portal keep, and two invade-able beachhead keeps in each realm can be teleported to with the standard 5 second wait time
• For the center and invade-able beachhead keeps, the requisite amount of towers will still need to be controlled in order to port.

 
 
TERRAIN:

• ​​New player pathways have been added from the shorelines on the outer south, east, and west Agramon that allow passage to Agramon's Decayed Lands.
• New one-way paths have been added behind each realm's Milegate wall that takes players to the center of Agramon.
  • One-way paths mean that the path can only be entered on the home realm's side of the milegates and exited near decayed lands. 
  • These paths will take players around the outside of one of their realm's milegates and end at a cul-de-sac for each realm in the center of Agramon.
  • These paths are not too-steep-to-climb terrain and can be freely backtracked except for at the path's 'exit' into the central area of Agramon.
  • The ‘exit’ is demarked by rocky terrain.

 
Boating

• Center Keep docks have been removed.
• Merchant Keep docks have been moved further inland to be roughly equidistant from the new Portal Keeps and Center Keeps in each realm, and are now called Mainland Docks.
• Mainland Docks are still capture-able but no longer toggle the ability for realms to be able to boat. They are simply capture-able objectives that prevent the home realm access to their dock.
• Mainland Docks, when owned by the home realm, will take players to the beachhead of the new Ruined Keeps in either opposing realm.
• Mainland Docks, when owned by an opposing realm, will provide quests that direct players to the Ruined Keeps and mazes in each realm.
• 3 new Agramon Docks have been added in the following locations, with passable terrain paths added to allow access to them from inner Agramon:
  • Directly in between the Midgard and Albion milegates along the outer east wall of Agramon.
  • Directly in between the Midgard and Hibernia milegates along the outer west wall of Agramon.
  • Directly in between the Albion and Hibernia milegates along the outer south wall of Agramon.

• These new Agramon Docks are capture-able and will default to the following realm's control on server up, however they can be captured and used by any realm:
• ​East Agramon Dock - Defaults to Hibernia Control
• West Agramon Dock - Defaults to Albion Control
• South Agramon Dock - Defaults to Midgard Control
• Once captured, the new Agramon Docks spawn the familiar Dock encounter guards and become usable for the realm that captured them.
• The Agramon docks will take players to either enemy realm's coast.
• Docks and associated NPCs in the Relic Keep zones have been removed.
• Capture-able docks have been added on each realm's river mid-way between the Strength Relic Town's Milegates and the Center Keep that take players down their realm's river towards the power relic keep, turn around, and end back at the Center Keep Island.
  • These docks follow the same rules as the Mainland Docks in how they are captured.

• Merchant Keep docks will only have two boat tickets available for purchase, one to each opposing realm.
• Merchant Keep docks will have asymmetrical encounters that control who owns them:
  • Defending realm Dockmasters will be protected by 2 orange-red guards and 1 red-purple guard captain. These guards will have a small agro radius and be stationary, but once attacked will have long cast ranges and be difficult for less than half a group to defeat in a reasonable amount of time.
  • When a dock is captured by an enemy realm, the dock will be protected by 4 red-purple guards and 1 purple guard captain. These guards will have a small agro radius and be stationary, but once attacked will have long cast ranges and be difficult for less than a group to defeat in a reasonable amount of time.

• When a dock is captured, the opposing realm’s guards will immediately spawn along with their realm’s prescience node.

• When an enemy guard contingent is defeated, the home realm’s guards will immediately spawn along with the dockmaster and prescience node.
• Dock boat wait times have been reduced from a total of 45s down to 25s. This includes the the time boats remain at the dock for player boarding.
• Boat speed has been increased.

 
Movement

With changes to boating and the focus on running being the primary means of travel outside of the portal ceremony we have some exciting changes coming to movement speed 

• The Hastener NPC buff ‘Speed of the Realm’ has been increased from 150% to 170%.
• The bounty gem speed buffs have been increased from 150% to 176%.
• The last level of Sorcerer, Theurgist, Healer, Runemaster, Enchanter, and Warden speed-chants have been be increased from 156% to 176%.
• Mount Saddles and Armors will now have a +54% speed increase attached to them.
• When combined with a horse (which has a 150% speed bonus) the player will be able to travel at 204% speed – or the same speed as a Skald, Minstrel, or Bard.
• Mounts will maintain their multitude of restrictions and disadvantages:
  • Players must stand still for 3 seconds to call their mount
  • Shape-shifts will prevent being able to mount
  • Mounts will not dive
  • Mounted players are bigger targets
  • Players will be unable to mount when indoors or underground.

• Mount Saddles and Armors are craft-able items in the Metalworking line.

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.116 Release Notes
December 2, 2014
============================

Highlights

• Brave the depths of the Darkness Falls RvR dungeon to experience new encounters and find new rewards!
• The Portal Ceremony has made its exit!
• Several item and class adjustments, including global item use-timers, Assassins, Warlocks, and Caster stat debuffs!

Changes

• Master Vaughn, Stor Gothi Dagny, and Brerend will no longer be performing the Portal Ceremony. Instead they will teleport players to the same teleport locations as other Channelers found throughout the world.
• (Ywain Only) Players will now respawn in their realm's Portal Keep when /releasing in the Frontiers instead of the strength Relic town.
• Portal stones have been added back to both Border Keeps and both Relic Towns
• A new teleporter has been added to the Portal Keeps that will teleport players directly to the Relic Towns
• Buff NPCs have been moved back inside of the Portal Keeps
• Apprentice Vaughn, Dagny, and Brerend have been moved from the Strength Relic Towns to the Power Relic Towns
• Archer guards at each Portal Keep have had their attack range increased to the proper amount. They will now attack from the same distance as the caster guards.
• The invulnerable guards around the Strength Relic Towns have been removed.

 Quests

• The Supplies for the Cause quest rewards have been reduced from all 3 Doppelganger realm shards to a choice of 2 Doppelganger realm shards.

Changes

• All players have received a forced Champion Ability respec and had their points refunded.
• Players are now able to progress to Champion Level 15.
  • This means players will receive the normal hit point modifier and power pool increase with each subsequent champion level.
  • Champion Level 15 is earned in the same way that CLs 1-10 were earned: experience. Quests and RvR combat will be the fastest ways to earn CL XP.
  • If you have already visited the King once to embark on the Champion Levels, there is no need to visit him to proceed towards CL15.

• Each champion level between 11 and 15 will require twice as much experience as each champion level between 1 and 10.
• Players will now receive 1 additional Champion Ability point when embarking on their Champion Levels.
  • This means after the forced champion level respec, CL10 players will see that they have 11 CL points to spend now instead of the previous 10.

• Players will receive 1 additional Champion Ability point for each Champion Level from 11 to 15, for a total of 16 points at CL15.

Abilities

• Champion Abilities have received a complete overhaul.
• Champion Ability-point costs have been altered as follows:
  • First ability in each column: 1 point
  • Second ability in each column: 2 points
  • Third ability in each column: 3 points
  • Fourth ability in each column: 4 points
  • Fifth ability in each column: 5 points

• This means in order to get all 5 abilities in a given column, it will take 15 of the possible 16 Champion Ability points.
• In conjunction with this point increase, almost all previously-existing abilities have been moved and condensed towards the beginning of each column.
  • This means that the old point cost for the 5^th ability in a column (5 total points) is roughly the same as it is now for the 3^rd ability in a column (6 total points). Given this general increase, almost all of the old 5^th abilities are now located at the 3^rd position in a column or earlier, and so on.
    • With the condensing of abilities, several under-used or under-powered abilities have been removed.
  • The new 4^th and 5^th slot Champion Abilities in each column are significant upgrades from either abilities obtained earlier in that column, or are unique, new abilities.

• Scores of new abilities have been added and almost all of the existing abilities have been tweaked. Check out the base trainers in each realm to see them!
  • The same base trainer restrictions apply as before. Players may only train CL abilities from base trainers other than their class’ base trainer.
    • Base Trainers are located in Cotswold and Caer Gothwaite in Albion, Mularn and Aegirhamn in Midgard, and Mag Mell and Grove of Domnann in Hibernia

• Newly obtained Luminescent Cambiare Stones can now be /used in order to perform a CL respec and will now stack to a count of 25, instead of 5.
  • These stones can only be /used when unstacked and when at least 1 Champion Ability point has been spent.
  • Already purchased and pre-existing Luminescent Cambiare Stones will not be /usable unless stacked on top of a newly purchased stone.
  • Newly purchased stones that get stacked onto pre-existing ones will no longer be /usable either, so be careful!

Quests

• A new quest line has been added to help guide players towards achieving Champion Level 15.
• Travel to your realm’s throne room and speak to the following NPC in order to embark on these new quests.
  • Chamberlain Harlen in Albion
  • Athr Hasetti Theyr in Midgard
  • Seneschal Desmond in Hibernia
  • Players must be CL10+ in order to receive this new quest.

• Performing this quest chain will grant players additional Daemon Blood Seals as well as a significant amount of CL XP.

Items

• 150+ new Champion Level 15 Weapons have been added, and they look stunning!
• These weapons can be obtained by either defeating certain high-end encounters within Darkness Falls or by obtaining the new DF currency, Daemon Blood Seals, and purchasing the weapons from the new Imp Blood Seal merchants within the dungeon.
  • These weapons are purchase-able prior to CL15 but will not be able to be equipped until CL15 has been obtained.
  • These weapons are trade-able and multiple weapons can be obtained, though each weapon can only be equipped by its designated class.
  • All CL15 Weapons are drop-able and vault-able.

Changes

• Powerful surges of magic have been detected from the Tomb of Mithra, Nisse's Lair, and Muire's Tomb. Sages from all three realms have been dispatched to these locations to investigate, and a call has been sent out for adventures to aid in the exploration of these disturbances.

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 14.
 

• Characters will receive one realm skill point for each realm level, which means that the total possible realm skill points will increase from 120 to 130.
• Specialization bonuses will continue through Rank 14, with a total of +13 at Rank 14.
• Characters with 66,181,501 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 14
 
Albion Rank Title – Arch Duke/Arch Duchess
Midgard Rank Title – Stor Jarl/Stor Hurfru
Hibernia Rank Title – Ard Diuc/Ard Bandiuc
 
The following chart represents the total number of realm points required for each realm rank and level:
 
66,181,501 realm points = RR13 L0
