New content and Functionality

The Festival season is upon us once again. Dereth once again is abound with tricks and treats. Fun is in the air!

The Scarecrows have once again begun appearing on the landscape throughout Dereth.

The first stages of our proposed improvements to the trade skills will be going in this month. Players who have the Alchemy skill trained will have the ability to create new 7th level protection gems. These gems will be able to be traded or given to any player and can be used by any player to cast the various Life Magic protection spells on themselves.

Viamontian Racial Masks have finally been made. The maskmakers have been hard at work once again.

In keeping with our theme of revising some areas of the game for better hunting we have added some new tasks to continue the improvements in the area known as the Valley of Ruin.


Miscellaneous Changes and Improvements

The spellcraft on the upgraded versions of the Composite Bow and Crossbow has been raised to better reflect the level of the players using them. This raise in spellcraft will affect the weapons ability to cast on strike.

A typo in the description of the modified Silifi of the Crimson Night has been fixed.

There was a bug that would prevent Alduressa leggings from being picked up off the ground. This has been fixed for the October event.

When the October event goes live newly acquired white rabbit slippers should now appear white instead of the off white that appeared after the launch of ToD. This only applies to newly created slippers and not previously crafted slippers.
