Shard Updates 30 August 2014

[Ryan]

The following updates were applied to Hybrid Tonight:

• Addition of "Yew Wood" - This wood type can be found by using an axe on any tree
• Addition of "Ash Wood" - This wood type can be found by using an axe on any tree
• Addition of "Oak Wood" - This wood type can be found by using an axe on any tree
• Addition of Runic Fletching tools for the three types of new wood (Yew, Ash and Oak)
• Addition of Runic Dovteail Saws for the three new types of wood (Yew Ash and Oak)
• Addition of Hybrid Mares - This mare is a special hybrid NPC and will spawn rarely and be very difficult to tame
• Explosion potions were modified to make damage more linear across the spectrum

As of this time we're not sharing how to obtain the runic tools, they will not be obtained via Bulk Order Deeds, this information will be shared over time.

Many thanks go Suzy and Alkiser for their help with these changes... as well as those of you who helped on the test center (ryan.runuo.com,2593 - a setskill test center for Hybrid). We appreciate the player involvement on the test center.

EDIT: The only hint I am sharing - the first Hybrid Mare is in a "dungeon".

Thanks,
Ryan

So bulk order deeds are being added to Bowcrafters? How about being able to repair bows now?

At this time, NO we are not adding BOD's for bowcrafters.

 

[UnosnowNYC]

So i assume we have to wait to find out how to obtain the runic kits for creating the bows then?

Yes, or figure it out on your own... dungeons are a good place to start

bows have been repairable for awhile.

[corytoneill]

How did u change explosion potions?

 

[DragonSlayer69r]

Can we get a hint on how to obtain runic saws? We need to be able to compete as well, plus when it comes to information being withheld, a few people "find out" sooner then others.

Looks like alchy went from 10+10+1d10

To 10+5+1d10

(Pot) (Alchy Bonus) (Random d10)

We didnt touch alchy bonus.

 

[DragonSlayer69r]

The highest pot damage i got from a full hit (holding it) was 25.

I threw over 20 pots at myself to count the damage.

If you didnt mess with the bonus then it is 10+10+1d5

pot bonus random. That would mean the random d10 that EVERYONE has access to is what got lowered.

Wow Ryan, that hybrid mare was quite the challenge to tame. Several of us were with Pavilion this morning while he tamed his. I think it took him around 4 hours before It submitted. Great challenge brother. Keep up the great work with the shard!

[Base Jumper]

Can I get clarification on hybrid mare spawn, is the spawn random (Like harrorwer)? Or is @ a fixed spawn site with a very long timer?

 

[Boomshakalaka]

So explo pots got nerfed by 5 damage? What was the reasoning behind this?

I'd hardly call that scientific but nonetheless all we did was:

• Explosion potions were modified to make damage more linear across the spectrum
