  1. Big thanks to Deri for finding and donating this unique for public slaying!

    Dragons are so very good at hiding. The trick is that so many things look like they might be dragons! Can you spot the dragons in the above image? The arrows may help you.

     

    We've found the location of one of them: the venerable green dragon hatchling. So we're going to seek it, and it'll drop hide! Watch out, its acidic blood lets you make potions of acid.

     

    It's hiding at Bruce's Flying Circus, 13N

  2. Special thanks to Kadmint for finding and donating this Goblin Leader for public slaying!

    It's time to spring into action!

     

    The Goblin Leader has been found, signalling that it is finally springtime

    We welcome one and all to this springtime festival slaying

     

    The Goblin Leader's blood grants oils of mining

    The Goblin Leader drops a war bonnet, short sword, and medium metal shield. None of which are portrayed accurately in the above picture!

     

    The celebrations will be at Bruce's Flying Circus, 13N

    If it is ok with those organizing the event I would like to attend as well. If that is fine then see you all there!

     

    Of course! As ever with our slayings, absolutely everyone is welcome


  4. A big thanks to Llawnroc for making this slaying possible!

    The spice in question is potions of ropemaking, which the Red Dragon's blood provides!

     

    At Bruce's Flying Circus, N13, the flow of begins anew.

    Red Dragon scale will also drop!

    Come on down to Bruce's Flying Circus, N13 (we're on the highway network!). Mind the hill. It's watching. It's seen, and been seen.

    And it has something for all of us.

    Blood. Blood will flow. Blood.

    Flow down the hills in a tide.

    A tide of blood and bones.

    Blood that gives oil of the armour smith! Black dragon hatchling hide will also drop

    "The Year of the Dragon typically sees a spike in births, since 'Dragon babies' are considered to be extra lucky."

     - Aeris, at the Release Black Dragon slaying

     

    It seems that this is true, as a Baby Black Dragon Hatchling has already arrived!

    And now it's up to us to welcome this new life into the world! It'll be a baby shower of armoursmithing blood and bits of dragon hide!

    Come and join us at the deed Gathering Storm (17L, Yaga link, North-by-northwest of the Icbash 802 tower)

     

    Please do not build in the area!

  7. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon!

     

    gHaoL3E.png

     

    According to the Chinese Zodiac, those born in the year of the dragon:

    • Attract abundance
    • Are generally happy people
    • Tend to be popular
    • Are Gregarious and clever
    • Are Compassionate but direct
    • Tend to overthink
    • Are Good at carpentry
    • Give out black scale to all premium characters in local

     

    I possibly made up one or two of those!

     

    Come on down to Bruce's Flying Circus, where we'll be celebrating the Year of the Dragon with our very own Black Dragon!

    Surely this will be their year!

    Tracking is... difficult

    78d42e3e0f0e84b967276d44a07f907f.jpg

    Behind me? Tracking doesn't see anything!

     

    Despite these difficulties, the local master tracker, Berris, has tracked down a now-trapped troll-like titan: the Kyklops! Sporting a QL65 birchwood huge club and blood as tough as his skin (literally - it's blood for oil of leatherworking), this guy will give the title Giantslayer to anyone who takes a swing at it!

    Now you'll need to track down the deed it's stored at! We haven't moved it! It's still Bruce's Flying Circus, N13 (we're on the highway network!)

    Opening Soon: the Jurassic Park Experience!

    Ladies and gentlemen, a remarkable feat in science has been achieved! Some months ago, one of our excavation team unearthed a peculiar (some may say strange) bone! Tests on the marrow revealed the bone to be a perfectly preserved fossil - the DNA so intact that we have been able to recreate the dinosaur it belonged to! And my, what a beauty this one is:

     

    949d0517efabee082c28c6fdc035178e.jpg

    Clever girl! Soon we'll have her doing tricks at the Circus!

     

    We have decided, despite the protests of those pesky "health and safety regulators," to present this violent killing machine - this venerable black dinosaur hatchling - to the public! Nothing can go wrong!

     

    Since this event will take place during Halloween, it appears that one person who pets the dinosaur, at random, will have a chance to be given a Halloween cosmetic item with the dinosaur's signature! There will also be bloods that create oil of the armoursmith, a commemorative bone so you can make your own dinosaurs at home, and more!

     

    Come one, come all, to Bruce's Flying Circus, N13 (we're on the highway network!)

    Please pay careful attention to the times, due to recent daylight savings changes

    A long long time ago
    In a server called Release
    There lived a humble people
    Friendly through and through
    But, yeah, there was a black sheep
    And he knew just what to do
    His name was red dragon and he refused to step in-line
    A vision he did see of
    Burning all the time
    He breathed a toasty breath and all the slaying did align

     

    Meet up at Bruce's Flying Cricus, N13 (we're on the highway network!), for the rock-out of the century! And/or getting red scale and potions of the ropemaker!

  11. Which armour limit is studded leather? There's no buff icon when you have it equipped, since it's 0% - so which pads apply?

    Also, which armor limit applies for a Mag priest in chain? They too lack a armour limit modifier when over a certain favor (though this often fails to update the buff icon properly)


  12. Great Gark was a king among the goblins of Nachtur in the Feywild in the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR

    edit: I thought this was a D&D booklet image but it turns out someone somewhere else just slapped the D&D logo on it; it's by the very talented armandeo64

     

    But more recently he's been spotted in Pristine!

     

    You will need to assemble a balanced party of adventurers to fight this (CR: 9) threat!

    Choose from the following classes, multiclass, or make your own!

    Meet up with other adventurers in your local tavern, then head out to L15 on the highway, deed name Thibilihut or use this Yaga link to go to this adventure!

    The deed is on the highway network!

    Big thank-you to Thibbledorf for making this a public event!


  13. In the Rift Point Ordering System, shoulder pads show their effects according to which armour classes they effect, such as:

    Crafted shoulder pad: "A shoulder pad of this design reduces damage to light armor when absorbing hits"

    Exquisite shoulder pad: "A shoulder pad of this design reduces elemental damage when equipped with light or no armor"

    Basic shoulder pad: "A shoulder pad of this design reduces slashing damage when equipped with medium or heavy armor"

    Dragon shoulder pad: "A shoulder pad of this design reduces movement speed penalty of medium or heavy armor"

    Stylish shoulder pad: "A shoulder pad of this design reduces all damage to the head"

     

    However, while equipped, this reads:

    Crafted shoulder pad: "Reduced damage to cloth and leather armor from use"

    Exquisite shoulder pad: "Reduced damage from elemental damage in cloth and leather armor"

    Basic shoulder pad: "Reduced damage from slashing damage in chain and plate armor"

    Dragon shoulder pad: "Movement speed penalty in heavy armor is reduced" note: despite what this may suggest, this pad works on chain armour

    Stylish shoulder pad: "Reduces face damage" 

     

    These are just examples, but I found that the only shoulder pads without glaring inconsistencies were: boar, human skull, and to a lesser extent skull.

     

    This left me with questions:

    What class is studded, and do any shoulder pads effect it? It doesn't feel safe to assume "leather" includes studded leather.

    Do the effects that specifically mention chain and plate effect either type of dragon armour? And if not, why isn't this detailed before purchasing them?

    Does damage to the head include the neck?

     

    I also went on the test server to look at some jewellery, a lot of buffs that simply say "skill efficiency bonus," but did not check or document this further

  15. It's a few minutes to server shutdown and this lurking white dragon hatchling is stuck in a fence!

    Be sure to arrive early, or you might end up on the wrong side of shutdown!

  16. I like what this update is trying to do. Doing rifts in the shadow of colossi sounds suitably epic.

     

    That said, I have a number of concerns. Chief among them is what is left over after rifts:

     

    We've got horribly deformed terrain no-one wants to clean up and is resulting in uglified servers

     

    We've got rows of pens, some of which so little as two tiles apart, being built for rifts (this linked topic has a good replacement idea)

     

    And now we're getting colossi - which I can only assume means we're going to see a lot more secured bulk storage bins.

    Please do something about the amount of litter that accumulates from these rifts!

     

     

    I'm going to miss my boar shoulder pads. There's no way I'm touching those things with the new buffs - to the extent that I'd ask for a way to turn off the buffs so I can keep the pads.

    Thanks to our star cryptozoologists Umir and Drastic, who generously donated it for public slaying, the Yeti (Kyklops) has been recorded and is ready for public viewing (processing)! 

    Yeti blood will net you the helpful [potion of leatherworking]

    We will be unable to accept donations towards the loot roll at this slaying, due to the large potential number of item rolls these uniques could cause


  21. Our crack team of cryptozoologists are on the case and have a big find to show us!

     

    wGGpoBH.png

     

    While we have reason to believe that the Loch Ness Monster was added to this picture after it was taken, one of these creatures has been captured and we are prepared to perform an autopsy in the name of science!

    And I'll give you a hint which it is: it's the one that drops [drake hide] and [blood] for [oil of the weapon smith]

    If there are any more sightings of the Yeti, please report it, that one got away from us
