Alter Aeon server updates for Jun 30, 19 From Draak: Fatigue and exhaustion can no longer take you deeply into negative movement. Channel cast strings will now be gagged by spam gcast. (Mathayas) Softened damage from high level traps. You can use metallurgy to load any wooden weapon, increasing its weight and changing its dieroll. Carve mooncatcher can no longer be taught by demonic tutor, and has a proper place to learn it. Mobs that can recharge select wands and staffs will now show what objects and for how much gold on 'list' and 'sell list'. Spruced up strings for wand/staff recharge trades. Mooncatchers can be converted into moondust, a brew component that boosts the level of a brew without altering the outcome of the recipe. This might see some level tweaking as we assess how powerful it is. Added 'craft quality' command. This uses profession points to increase the quality of a crafted object. You must know how to craft the object in order to upgrade it. The point cost goes up sharply for each tier of quality an item is improved, and also increases with level. http://bit.ly/2Xid4aC

Alter Aeon server updates for Jun 21, 19 From Draak: Lag reduced on crafting skills a little bit. Fixed bug in leathercraft that did not allow a 'blank' composite bonus on non-dragonscale equipment. Warrior skill rebalancing: Tanking is now level 22, down from level 24. Lag and movement cost for crippling strike has somewhat increased. FYI it is still quite a bit faster and less costly than leap attack. New geology type: salty, for highly saline, non-marine environments. New angelic wood: thyine Mage practice rebalancing: Ground is now level 12, up from 10, since it was the same level as shocking grasp. Obscure spell chimes is now level 10, since there were multiple obscure spells at level 11. New mining minerals: selenite, alabaster (both forms of gypsum) and very rare polyhalite and bloedite. These favor salty geology, along with various halide minerals like sylvite. http://bit.ly/31L2SG4

Alter Aeon server updates for Jun 08, 19 From Draak: A successful feint will reduce the cooldown timers that lessen the chance of a successful flourish and lower the damage of crippling strike. Added a couple of tips to the bottom of slist. (Duckworthy) You can no longer scribe high level spells onto low level scrolls. Areas can now have different geologies set that affect what minerals are most abundant there. You will see a message about the local geology when you start prospecting. Most druid called animals are gaining the ability to eat food they are given. They will be picky eaters, so don't try feeding apples to a mountain lion or fish to an ape. Mage practice balance changes: Prism is now level 18 instead of level 12. Level 12 spell shield is now critical and dependent on mana shield instead of fly. Dependencies within the force field spelltree have rearranged. Thief practice balance changes: Contortionism is no longer critical. Shadow decoy is now critical. Stealthy movement is now level 22, up from level 21. Shadow bind is now level 15, up from level 14. Brew poison is now level 14, down from level 15. Case is now level 12, down from level 13. Cloak of darkness is now level 13, up from level 12. Backstab is now level 9, up from level 8. Survrey is now level 8, down from level 9. Feint is now level 6, down from level 7. Pickpocket is now level 7, up from level 6. Crippling strike is now level 20 and critical. Shadow strike is now level 28. Necromancer practice balance changes: Consume is now level 17, up from 16. Skeletal warrior is now level 16, down from 17. Cleric practice balance changes: Breath of life is now level 31, up from level 28. (Lokar) http://bit.ly/2EYEcQK
