Prelude Crafting Update

Post by Archin » May 18th, 2022, 9:10 pm

Prelude Crafting Patch

As previously announced, we’ve now begun fully implementing our major prelude crafting patch. Below you will find a detailed overview of each system and its changes.

Our intention with this patch is to continue to move away from arduous task and more towards a system that provides roleplay identity within each profession. This includes adding specialization to reward a dedicated crafter with more perks and less recipe gates in their chosen craft, simplifying crafting systems, adding more craftable items.

We know there’s always room for improvement - and will be monitoring these changes and adjusting things as we feel are needed to further make a more interesting and engaging system.

Also during this time, we’ll be looking at reviewing enchanting - there may be some magic spell tweaks in relation to these changes, and a few PvE changes on our side of things with AI behaviors

Our next major patch is going to be focused on making the world feel more persistent and reactive. This will include NPC faction reputations, world events, and quest systems. And yes TRANSMOG.

All the while, we will continue to be running stories throughout the summer, we have events mapped out up to and including season one open. Some of these events may even introduce themes or lore relevant to main story, so keep an eye on our discord events channel and we hope you hang out with us this summer!

(Patch notes reflect changes both new and recent updates)


CHANGE LOG


GENERAL CHANGES
  • Item Timers: Stacking items with timers will now average out the time
  • Added New Fruit Tree Nodes for Horticulture/Agriculture Harvesting: Apple Tree, Peach Tree, Pear Tree, Grapevine
  • Hematology injections can no longer be used for offense: When attempting to inject another player, the receiving
  • player will have the ability to accept/decline the injection
  • Industrial grinder no longer has stat requirements to use

  • Purchasing skills Red system message feedback: Attempting to purchase an ability will now show you which pieces of gear or which buffs are blocking you.
  • Injecting syringe check/gump: Injecting another player brings up a confirmation OKAY gump for the player getting
  • jabbed.
  • New Commands: [FreeForRP and [LookForRP activated: Off by default, each time you log in you can turn on [FreeForRP for yourself. This will add you to the list of players that other players can find with [LookForRP. A simple arrow will lead you to the player.

  • [lore now shows set bonuses for wearing 4 pieces of an armor set

  • [drop command exploit fixed and re-enabled


CRAFTING SPECIALIZATION

  • “Quality Manufacturing” Feat in World Lore is now replaced with “Crafting Specialization”
    • Using the command [Specialization will prompt a menu of available crafts to choose your specialization. Once you select your specialization, you cannot change it again for 30 days.
    • Once 30 days elapse, you can re-specialize in a different craft by going to the Foundry General Store to purchase the "Vocational Studies" book from an NPC Vendor on the 2nd Floor
  • Masterworks / Mythic Chance: The perk to raise this chance has always been gated behind Quality Manufacturing and thus it will remain the same within Crafting Specialization, but only applied towards your selected specialization.
  • Recipes: As a specialist, once you make a recipe-gated item once, you will gain access to crafting that item without a recipe.*
    • *This does not apply to Alchemy, Agriculture, and Augment Recipes - their perks are different, see below overview of individual crafts
    • This only applies to the recipes in your specialization. You will still need recipe copies for any craft you are not specialized in.
    • Master recipes will be removed from loot packs and everyone’s inventory
      • Once specialized in a craft, you will lose the master recipes in other crafts - if you previously had a master recipe from (old loot packs, starting backgrounds), it will be turned into 50 uses
      • Should you change specializations, your recipes will revert back to what you had before specializing. So if you knew 30 uses of Recipe A, but mastered it with one use, then re-specialized to a different craft, you will revert back 29 uses
    • NOTE: Recipe rarities above epic level will not be mastered upon crafting within this system
      • Regional Mastered Recipes from your chosen character background will always remain mastered regardless of your specialization


EQUIPMENT DURABILITY CHANGES

  • Equipment durability has been greatly increased, but each time you repair the maximum durability can go down between 2-25 depending on the quality of the deed or the skill level of the crafter. The intention is to require repair less often, while still eventually needing to replace gear after extended use
  • Removed self-repair enchants
  • Removed self-repair augments
  • Durability has been expanded to include more gear types
    • Spellbooks now have durability and can be repaired by Artisans with the Spellcraft Kit
    • Durability will have a chance of drop when casting spells
    • Can also be repaired via Artisanry Repair Deeds
  • Jewelry now has durability and can be repaired by Artisans with the Artisan Hammer
    • The jewelry will occasionally check to see if you’ve been in combat within a certain window of time, and if you have, have a small chance of losing durability. Otherwise if you are just wearing it in town, or in non combat scenarios, there is no chance of decay.
    • Can also be repaired via Artisanry Repair Deeds
  • Skill Patches, IE gear with skill bonuses, have skill-durability that wear out with use of the skill associated
    • Once the bonus skill wear out to zero bonus, you can add a new patch in its place on the clothing
    • Clothing durability is not affected with the use of skill patches
