Many new features and changes over the past few days! Here's the changelog :)

 

New Livemap-Feature: Hostile Heatmap

File Attachment:

Can be toggled with the "Show Hostile Heatmap"-Setting

Areas colored in perfect green have no hostile creatures in them.
More red means more hostiles on that tile area.

Unique creatures are NOT displayed in the heatmap.

Bulk Sorting and Improvements
You can toggle sorting on bulk containers (BSB, FSB, Large crate, small crate)
Sorted items will only stack with items of same QL
Unsorted containers will behave like vanilla merging
You can transfer max. items at once while bulk transferring
Body checks have been removed, allowing fast transfer of heavy items

Bounty on Burn Changes
Increased the burn corpse range
Allow movement while burning a corpse

Passive Income Increase
Passive income has increased to 10i per minute

 

Unleashing Hell
As some of you have noticed, there were no hell creatures roaming the lands. This will change now! Today we will be unleashing all hell creatures, including hell horses and lava fiends.

There are two custom built dungeons now for you to find and conquer as well, with a treasure deep inside it. I don't expect anyone to find them soon, but if you do, be prepared to fight.

Spellcraft
We're adding a modified version of the Spellcraft mod. This brings huge changes to the faith/favor system and religion in general.
Max Faith is now 200

You need only 20 Faith to become a priest
Favor Regeneration will be faster and smoother
You can pray once per hour instead of once every 20 minutes, but also receive 3x the faith for it

Faith gained from prayer scales to the new maximum of 200, meaning you will see much higher gain ticks now
Statuette QL increases spellcasting and channeling efficiency
All priests can link each other e.g. Libila can link Magranon, Vynora can link Fo, etc.

Genesis favor cost increased to 70

Rites need only 5 active players to be cast

Reduced Strongwall cast time to 60 seconds

New Spells
Harden: Enchant applicable to most items. Reduces the damage taken by the enchanted item; 50 power grants 15% reduction; 100 power granting 30% reduction.
Phasing: Weapon enchant that increases the opponent's shield skill check difficulty. In laymans terms, it makes it so shields block attacks from a Phasing weapon less.
Summon Soul: Summons a player to the location of the caster.
Replenish: Automatically refills a liquid container with water.
Expand: Increases the capacity of containers
Efficiency: Reduce difficulty of skill checks with enchanted items.
Prowess: Ring enchant that increases CR
Industry: Ring enchant that reduces difficulty checks
Endurance: Ring enchant that reduces stamina usage
Acuity: Ring enchant that reduces favor usage
Titanforged: Increases speed, efficiency, and skill gain.

The map is developing really well and many new deeds are popping up daily! Thanks to everyone so far for helping build this awesome community :)

 

Now for the updates and changes over the past week

 

Event Portals

Added event portals. They allow you to use your deed token to teleport to the event and back to your deed when the event is finished.

 

Treasure Maps

Treasure Maps are now a little bit easier to get while doing activities like mining, woodcutting and foraging.

When hunting, they can now drop from: Trolls, Brown Bears, Large Rats, Goblins, Huge Spiders, Anacondas, Black Bears, Cave Bugs, Lava Spiders, Lava Fiends, Crocodiles, Scorpions, Hell Hounds, Hell Scorpius

 

Treasure Chests (Default Spawns)

The (re)spawning of these has been disabled a few weeks back to ensure a smooth transition to the Treasure Map system.

These chests have been disabled because they are mainly found by players using Scanner / ESP mods. Needing a mod to participate in the treasure hunting should not be mandatory, so i'm happy to say the last of the old chests is now gone :)

 

Smaller changes and fixes

Added inbreed warnings when breeding related animals

Rivia Trader now has it's prices fixed (buy and sell prices should be much saner now)

You can now combine Leather and Logs

The bounty on burn has been slightly decreased

Been quite some time since the last update but of course many little and big things happened :)

 

~ New Mods and Features ~

 

Rift Events

Starting this weekend on saturday we will have rift events! These rifts can alter in how they look, their strength, varierty of hostiles and rewards!

hbkRQbw.png

The unique will be in a random location inside the circle, you can click the circle to see which unique was spotted.

The circles will move randomly every 30 minutes.

 

Taxidermy

You can now preserve corpses to use them for decoration.

To do this you can craft Taxidermy kits to apply to a corpse

 

Waxed Food

You can now preserve food to use them for decoration as well.

Use beeswax on the food to preserve it

 

Animal Neutering

You can now neuter animals to make them unable to breed ever again.

This costs 1c and 50 karma to do and requires active scissors and leading the creature.

 

Cave-Layer Rework

The cave layer was completely rerolled, now featuring increased ore spawns and adjusted amounts in them.

In general this means you will find way more iron and other resources than before. Any existing stay the way they were.

 

DUSKombat

Overhaul on the combat system plus stats on weapons. Very nice :)

 

~ Misc Changes ~

Rivia (central main city) now has a dedicated market area where you can place merchants

The Rivia Church now is decorated and has altars of Fo, Vynora and Magranon for you to pray at

The forum has received a little design change

Boat speeds have been increased a bit overall and also received a little re-balance to better fit their cost and sail size for wind benefits

Startergear: Removed spyglass, Added mallet, Added 10 small nails

Combined leather can be used for improvement regardless of QL

 

 

Now with the latest changes out of the way, time for the real fun stuff! :)

The Story

Slight traces of a strange cosmic radiation are being picked up from another dimension and the mages guild is predicting that a rift is about to open on saturday this weekend!
The high mages of Rivia will be able to delay the rift for a short period of time to give us time to prepare.

It is yet unknown what the rift will bring, but the tales tell stories of fierce mutated beast from another dimension, taking over worlds and and slaying everyone within their paths.

 

How does it work?

Rifts will open from time to time, starting this saturday. Their location will be indicated by a bright red energy surge striking the surface on a totally random location of Riviera.

The rift will not open close to deeds, slopes or inaccessible terrain.

There will be an Event Portal open near the rift some time before the rift fully opens.

Roughly 24 hours after the red surge hits the ground, waves of rift beast will storm the surrounding land and rift-resources can be found around the surge.

In order to finish the event, all rift creatures need to be defeated.

 

What are the rewards?

Players will be rewarded by activity. Each creature you kill or assist in killing will add to your score.

The more score you have at the end, the more drops from the rifts lootpool you get.

You can check your score and the available reward tiers by using the /rift command in chat during the event.

 

Some of the possible rewards are:

Shoulder pads

Rift jewelry

Oils

Expensive trader items

High QL rare gems

Strange bones 

Magic tomes

And much more

 

Join us now to take on the beasts and defend the lands of Riviera!

 Will likely not happen soon, maybe some time down the road :D
 

The rift event was awesome, thanks to everyone for participating!

Around 20 people assisted in fighting back the strange matter and fought back around 600 intruders before the rift finally collapsed!

The next rift will be in a few weeks, so be sure to prepare ;)

You can now compare your skills with those of others.

This feature is optional, and you are not opted in by default, but can opt in and out whenever you like.

Changes

Reduced Tree Spreading

Added title broadcasts

Meditation tile requirements are now simplified

Dragon and drake stats are increased a bit

The area farm actions now use the effective farming skill

Upcoming events

This weekend on sunday, starting 18:00 UTC we will be hunting the green dragon hatchling! Join the server for guaranteed dragon loot or even better join in on the fight for more!

 

Rumours have it, that strange matter is circulating again over the clouds of Riviera! The high mages of Rivia forsee a greater threat, which could possibly arrive as a an opal-rated energy surge, marking the beginning of a rift invasion!

This is likely to happen next weekend!

 

Join Riviera today and be part of the story!

We had an awesome time on the dragon hunt!

25 players teamed up to fight the green dragon hatchling and the green dragon on sunday 21/07 and took them down in a long but coordinated battle!

Everyone on the isles received a share of the hide/scale, the hunters themselves receiving the bigger share.

Thanks everyone for joining in!

 

Coming soon

The high mages of Riviera detect faint traces of strange matter from another dimension. They predict this signature to possibly end in an opal-level rift.

This signature will be stronger than anything we have seen before, and will materialize on Riviera this weekend!

 

New features and changes

 

Arrow packs

Our take on arrow packs, you can now create hunting/war arrow packs using a quiver and 20 arrows of a type to create an arrow pack of it.

They are difficult to craft and require a high fletching skill.

Using these packs you can improve all containing arrows at once and enchant them so all containing arrows receive the enchant.

 

Random Spawn Rework

The random spawning as we had it until today is gone now, since many new players are confused by it and leave quickly again.

This means it was time for a rework and here it is!

 

From now on new spawns will spawn in the capital city Rivia on the plaza. There is now a Random Spawn Portal which anyone can use to get to a random spawn location on the isles.

If you don't like the location you end up on, simply you the teleport back to Rivia and try again.

Fixes

Fixed being unable to neuter branded horses

Another monthly bump for one of the most excellent small servers in the WU family. I consider Henry to be one of the better server administrators I have dealt with, definitely on a par with "The best Of WU". Currenty rated #6 on the Wurm Unliited voting site, for those who give those rankings any credence. 

 

If you do not require 60 other people online to enjoy yourself, this is a smaller server well worth checking out, with many custom written mods, such as the ability to "neuter" animals, as well as regular rift-style events, hunting weekends, many "Unique" roaming animals and a custom map that tracks and gives vague directions for the many dragons and uniques wandering free on the server (whether you want to find em or to avoid em).

 

Also lots of open wilderness yet!

New Mega Event coming this saturday!

 

From the depths below Riviera you hear faint rumblings.. You feel something big is surfacing soon..

Greetings Riviera!
For a long time, the earths crust has been tortured by our miners. Magma spouts will soon scatter a big part of our lands and it's unforeseen what will come along with them.
The mages guild of Riviera feel a strong presence of silicon based lifeforms and suggest to stay prepared.
They suggest a high frequency of moon metal substances within those lifeforms.

Ancient tales teach us that this could be a return of the Unbidden!

Void Incursion [Rift Mega-Event]

18th January 2020

 

The void army has gathered many powerful resources since their last sighting back in 2019. They're coming back stronger and bringing a new arsenal of deadly soldiers with them.

Two rift altars will open up a one-way gateway from the void. These can be easily identified by the big red beam above them.

Basic mechanics:
Each rift will devastate a huge area around them, so avoid placing structures or infrastructure close while the incursion is happening.
There will be 5 waves of assault, each bringing all sorts of void creatures to conquer the surrounding area. If they get defeated, the void will send one of their overlords in attempt to secure the area once and for all.

Rewards:
Each kill or assist will award you score points. To check your current score, use the Riviera Menu -> Rift Overview.
There are 13 tiers that can be reached, each tier will grant you an item from the royal treasure (kingdom items, strange bones, sorcery items, shoulder pads, etc.)


The rift locations:
Rift #1 : X:3340, Y:2637 - opening at 18:00 UTC
Rift #2 : X:3411, Y:2326 - opening at 18:30 UTC

I encourage all players, especially those who usually don't go fighting to attend. There are great rewards and experiences to get

 

These and other events can be seen on our event calendar https://wu.thahenry.de/index.php/events
