Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 28, 21 From Valront: Minor formatting fixup to weapon speed in shortID. Overconfidence renamed 'bravery' and is no longer a curse. Bravery is now dependent on faith shield and it part of the Divine Aid spellgroup. Despair and remorse are now dependent on feeble mind. Minor hint string fixes and tweaks. Fireball is now 'scorch', scorch does single target fire damage and applies a fire save debuff to living targets. Greater fireball is now 'fireball'. (cause that isn't confusing right?) Players will now be notified when they regain their morale. Frag grenades now use color from the credit buy crystal color options. Fire shield, flamestrike and firebombs now use color from the credit buy fire color options. Call lightning now uses color from the credit buy lightning color options. Ground strike now uses color from credit buy lightning and fire color options when wielding appropriate damage types. Demonfire also now uses fire color, it will use the dark version of selected colors to stay in theme, default color will now be yellow to line up with other fire colors. From Draak: Misc archery contest cleanup. Thank you for the feedback, everyone! Strengthened checks for showing the level of crafted components. The minimum duration of vigor and fortitude has been increased. (Uicli) Changes to cleric spellgroups: Feeble mind and faerie fire are now dependent on afflict, merging the cleric curse spellgroups. Remove poison is now dependent on soothe wounds, grafting the cure poison tree into the healing spellgroup. Sacred touch is now dependent on inflict wounds, grafting the undead handling tree into the divine might spellgroup. Groupcasting is now part of the cleric meditation spellgroup. Remove curse is now lift curse. https://bit.ly/3kuq19F

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 21, 21 From Valront: Fixed bug causing vulnerability to no longer be a curse. Finished cleric newbie hint strings (for now.) Huge thanks to Shryth for helping me proof read and edit them. Tripping will no longer grant non-living mobs conciousness only to cruely rip it away from them less than a second later. Increased scribing mana cost on mage combat spells to match old values. Gods may now be toxic, eg. have 'entropy' be their prefered element. This causes Toxic/Poison to be their prefered damage type and save. This comes with all the usual benefits of having a prefered element. From Draak: Clean-up of strings when attempting to 'drop all' inside of storage lockers. Ebon adamantine is now dark adamantine, to prevent parsing conflicts with ebon mithril. Impale no longer works on plural mobs. Crafting sampler lootcrates now come with a skin, hide, pelt or shell. Afflict now lowers spellsave for both etheral and corporeal targets, and does not lower normsave. This makes afflict more consistent and useful for making targets vulernable to follow-up curses. Fishing derby and archery contest system sends transferred over the event announcement system, so will only show up if you have the event channel on. New characters will have the event channel turned on automatically at level 5. String clean-up and highlights for archery contest. The archery contest will return your ammo from off the ground before returning you to your recall. Changes to strings and the help page for bloodletting stab, to reflect the fact that you can rip into enemies with your hands, if you're wearing hand equipment with the right dtype. RIP AND TEAR, UNTIL IT IS DONE. https://bit.ly/3pIJp3w

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 13, 21 From Brak: Raise threshold on freak 4 soulsteal notifies. Enable automatic generation of talk strings. This should improve over time and more mobs will be covered as builders refine the various rules. Fighting characters now have their own talk strings. From Shadowfax: Use real life timers for delivery job objects instead of tick timers. (Ivey) Fix bug that prevented mobs with wield flags from using shadow strike without an actual weapon. (Rowroad) Cartographer jobs should properly setup landmarks in instances. (Juggernaut, Druidia, Absolute, and Sport) From Draak: Minor cleanup with Field of Fonts encounter handling. Check command will now tell you if you have empty equipment slots, or if you are wearing equipment more than 10 levels lower than your primary class. Being dazed/stunned now instills a penalty to dexterity, instead of more targeted defense penalties, which were not working correctly. Lowered the level ceiling for mobs in the Field of Fonts. Most mobs will be closer to 43-45, but some boss types will still be higher level. Fixed a movement bug with crushing ores into spellcomps. Fixed effects bug with forging pitch black metal. (Fumo) The value command can now directly target objects. It can still be used with shopkeepers as well. This is useful as shortid does not show an item's estimated cost. Tuesday archery contests are now operational! Contests will be held periodically throughout the day on Tuesday. Once a contest starts, you can join with 'event start contest'. https://bit.ly/2ZecfOy

Alter Aeon server updates for Feb 06, 21 Do a whole bunch of cleanup to clan stat, clan show, and various clan control parsing commands. You can now show some information about other clans using 'clan show'. From Shadowfax: Fix bug in cartographer and hunter jobs that allowed completion without doing anything. (Gresko) Added more mana and manaregen to incarnates so shadow god incarnates can use shadow strike, like they were always intended to. From Valront: Minor string fixes for newbie hints. https://bit.ly/3pWTkDE

Alter Aeon February 2021 Update

We are pleased to announce that level 39 is officially out, with a new spell or skill for each class! - Mage spell, greater ice elemental. Ice elemental don't hit hard but are effective against enemies weak to cold. They are capable of soaking up lots of damage and are effective tanks. - Cleric unguent, fey woe. This mixture causes great pain to fey creatures and can be applied to iron-based weapons in order to do greater damage against fairies. - Thief skill, grenadier. This skill makes thieves more skilled at throwing grenades, and allows them to avoid taking damage from grenade splash damage. - Warrior skill, impale. This attack is carefully executed thrust with a stabbing weapon that can stun an opponent. - Necromancer spell, crystal skull. These constructs can absorb incoming magical attacks and redirect that magic to heal allied undead and skeletal creatures. - Druid spell, storm of roses. This spell causes nearby foliage to transform into thorny brambles in order to attack all enemies in the near vicinity. Additionally, the Field of Fonts and the City of Fonts special zones are open and operational. Progress continues with several areas, including Nightmare Plane solo and group 4 areas, two new level 32 zones for western Atmir, two new level 34 zones for eastern Atmir, and three more level 38 zones for the Isle of Naginag. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’ll be having an event on the evening of Saturday, February 13th. We’ll also be releasing a new archery-themed weekday event around Valentine’s Day.
