Alter Aeon

Alter Aeon server updates for Nov 24, 19 From Shadowfax: Using the 'jobs find' category parameter will reveal the exactly job type the jobgiver offers, namely, 'jobs find retrieval', 'jobs find hunter', 'jobs find delivery' and 'jobs find gatherer'. (Runner) Some job titles have been updated to be more specific. From Draak: A fishing derby will attempt to crown a runner-up if the winner leaves the game (thus forfeiting the derby). Resolved conflict with shellcraft that was preventing dragonscale armor from working. If you know shellcraft, you can craft certain antlers, horns, ivory and tusks into weapon grips. You can now label consumable items such as ammo, potions and scrolls without using a profession point. Added more keywords to craft label. Fished a bug out of fishing that inverted the relationship between reeling in fish and nibbler interest. To compensate, fishing is now slightly faster. http://bit.ly/37wE5Zf

Alter Aeon server updates for Nov 17, 19 From Shadowfax: Prevent 'lethal when undressed' achievements in pk arenas. Fix job info when trying to display a job that you don't currently have. More job efficiency updates to speed up job construction and reduce lag. From Draak: Fishing while untrained made more effective, but not that much. New heraldry types: patridge, hen, calling bird, milkmaid, lady, lord, piper, drummer New leathercrafted item: armbands Checking an ore will give an approximate yield, and also let you know if there is not enough to smelt. New brew only spells: harden leather and seal leather. Shellcraft split off from leathercraft skill. Harvested shells will have heavier AC than the current version, and different saving throws than dragonscale armor. Fishing derby testing code is in place for some dry runs. Draak will announce when they are ahead of time. Expect automatic fishing derbies on Fridays in the near future. http://bit.ly/32Uc7TF

Alter Aeon server updates for Nov 12, 19 Try to fix up lag issues caused by jobs. From Shadowfax: Cut back the chance of receiving an almoner job. Note that almoner is the default priest job. If you're randomly selected for another kind of job that you don't qualify for, you'll likely be assigned an almoner job. http://bit.ly/2NIhVew

Alter Aeon November 2019 Update

The Halloween Havoc event may be over, but our next event is just around the corner! This year's Fall Festival will begin on Wednesday, November 27th, and will end sometime on the morning of Monday, December 2nd. There will be a corn-maze, turkey-themed pk arenas and teleporting mobs to hunt down! Land Ho! A new island has been discovered southeast of the Island of Morjah. This new area, called the Isle of the Dead, is a level 43 group 7 zone for the continent of Gianasi. Code changes from October: - You can now brag and show objects, which displays an abbreviated version of the identify output. Great for showing off loot from tough dungeons or your mastercrafted projects. - The Luam rune can now be channelcast. This binds light to a spell's matrix, causing it to poison demons and vampires, but it does only half damage to angels. - All the major crafts will accept a level argument. You can designate the level you wish the finished object to be, as long as it does not exceed your own. - Added a 'craft description' option, allowing crafters to spend a profession point to give a crafted object a custom long description. - You can add grips to woodcrafted bows and longbows, and leathercrafted whips. - 'Forge check' has been improved so it will show the purity of ores you have and also identify viable carbon sources for steel-making. - Scales can be added to leathercrafted armor to increase its ac and add the effects of the metal. Scale armor will generally not be as protective as its 'forge armor' counterparts, but it can be rune-carved if you know firebrand. - Various tweaks to metallurgy, including more accurate forging costs that treat leftover metal from forging weapons and armor at the same price point as splitting or combining metals, a significant discount. - Seven new job types added: apothecary, wandmaker, clothier, custom retrieval, forager, quartermaster and anointer. Plans for November: - Guild jobs: starting with the Cartographers' Guild. Venture into the wildernesses of Alter Aeon to map an unexplored region. - Fishing derbies: these contests will be held on Fridays, and whoever catches the biggest fish by the end of the derby wins! - Two new areas: the City of Ironheart, a level 37 group 4 zone, and the Tunnels of Gorthic, a level 38 group 10 zone.

Alter Aeon server updates for Oct 27, 19 Autorecast will now work in recall again, unless the player goes idle. The idle time is fairly short, and can be tweaked later if needed. Ignore changes: Timered ignore and ignore allow has been removed. All ignores are now account ignores, if the target account exists. http://bit.ly/327sMCN
