End of Midwinter Celebration and Hot Fix Notes

Posted by John Thornhill | 2016 Jan 25 14:41 -0500 GMT
The Midwinter celebration has finally come to an end and the RvR, experience, and crafting bonuses have returned to normal along with it. The traveling band of merchants have packed up their wares and moved on, promising to return one day. But fret not! For the following Hot Fix notes are now live!

  • The Buggane's Obelisk RvR objective in the center of Ellan Vannin has had the following changes made to it:
    • The Buggane's Obelisk and Obelisk Rubble have had their hitpoints significantly reduced so that small groups can destroy them in a reasonable amount of time.
    • The obelisk's buff, Buggane's Folly, will no longer still persist through death and has had its duration increased from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
    • Finally, the RP, BP, and Coin buff now provides different bonuses based on the character's realm rank, as follows:
      • Realm Ranks 1L0 through 3L9 receive a 75% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
      • Realm Ranks 4L0 through 5L9 receive a 50% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
      • Realm Ranks 6L0 through 7L9 receive a 25% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
      • Realm Ranks 8L0 and up will receive the original 15% bonus to RP, BP, and coin buff.
      • To receive the buff, destroy the obelisk rubble so that your realm's obelisk can be built. Then, simply right-click on the obelisk to receive the bonus!
  • (Gaheris-only) Manannan mac Lir's encounter inside the underground keep on Ellan Vannin should behave properly now.
