Official Item Database Download

Posted by John Thornhill | 2017 Jul 05 17:43 -0400 GMT

As promised, here is our Official Item Database download

Web developers or software programmers can utilize the database's .json format to create valuable template-building and item search tools or convert it to a file type that works with existing tools' item databases. While we will be offering an item search tool on the new website at some point after it launches, this downloadable database is meant to bridge the gap until then and provide an up to date database of the game's equipment!

Please note: this Item Database contains data only on equippable items (armor, jewelry, and weapons) and is not meant for non-equippable items.

 

The Rites of Spring Event, Bonuses, and Ghost Keep Changes

Posted by John Thornhill | 2017 Apr 14 10:46 -0400 GMT
Update: The Ghost Keep event and Ellan Vannin portal ceremony, Buggane's Obelisk buff, and keep changes will remain in effect until patch 1.123 when permanent solutions will be addressed.

Springtime is here again, and with the warmth and renewed bloom of the landscape an ancient menace returns!

The deceptively cuddly Harbinger of Spring has found its way onto Ellan Vannin. The Kings of the Realms have placed a bounty on this beast for any who wish to drive the menace out of their lands and to collect the coveted Gem of the Harbinger!

Additionally, we have the following changes to the Ghost Keep event to announce and of course, some RvR bonuses for you!

The Rites of Spring event and these bonuses will continue through Monday, May 1st.

St. Patrick's Day Event

Posted by John Thornhill | 2017 Mar 16 14:22 -0400 GMT
Are you feeling lucky?

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day and running from now until Monday, March 20th, our second annual 'Leprechaun Treasure' quest is on!  

To get the quest, level 50s should pay the following poor souls a consoling visit:

Edmund in Cotswold's tavern
Bjorne in Mularn's beer hall
Silvadren in Mag Mell's pub


 
  • As part of the quest, players will be shapeshifted into a realm-specific "leprechaun" but have ALL of their stats debuffed by 75%.
  • But fear not, leprechauns may be weak but they are also nigh impossible to catch: shapeshifted players will also have an unbreakable CC-immunity and speed buff for the duration of the shapeshift.  
  • Oh, and we hear the real leprechauns love hiding their treasure in dangerous lands and ancient ruins. Enjoy some zany RvR through the weekend!
  • The ROG reward is a choice between a ring or a bracer similar to the Valentine's Day event with some slight differences. These ROGs will only allow up to 5 slots for stats but will also have 1 of 6 possible /uses.
 
      
 
For players of all level ranges, there are three pesky little tricksters who are hoping you're not too lucky! A 'charming' reward will be bestowed upon those who have the cunning to out-wit:

Killaghe in Albion
Daighu in Midgard
Iollarme in Hibernia

The "Luck of a Leprechaun" quest can be obtained from the following:

Sir Prescott in Cotswold
Hrolf in Mularn
Epona in Mag Mell

Once again, the event will run until Monday, March 20th.

A happy and safe St. Patrick's Day to one and all, and we'll see you in the Frontiers!

The Last Breath

Posted by Development | 2017 Mar 13 07:56 -0400 GMT

They say that when you take the last breath of life, that you go to a better place. This a false promise. To them, I am what the Creator is to us. I am a being of the light, of hope, of a greater promise. I am what they once were and with their callowness, what they wish to be again.

But it is thanks to them that I am telling you this now. For even in the darkest hour of the night sky, there are infinite shining stars. So it is true with them, too, as they have proven to me. In the sea of death there is yet still a soul. This changes everything, the very foundation of us all. Perhaps the Northmen were right. Or the Elves. Or all of us, in some way. Perhaps our King is still too out there, in the darkness. Watching us, protecting us, fighting a war that we do not know exists.

The stars have shown me. The heir of mighty Gol
estandt has awoken deep beneath Albion. Sleeping for years, protected by the darkness. We have been careless without our King. Too distracted by the Ice and the Forest, we have ignored the evil. We must end this dragon before it grows. Before it becomes more powerful than its father. Before it has an army of darkness.

And as such, we must venture once again into the deepest, darkest burrows of the underworld; which we vowed to never return to again. But this time, we will not go alone.

The stars will guide us in the night sky for as long as they can. With their light, we must shine brighter than ever; for the darkness of death is coming.

Bonds of Ice

Posted by Development | 2017 Mar 09 15:19 -0500 GMT

Ice, snow, frost. Blood, war, honor. These are the minerals from which Northmen are forged. We are men made of stone. Should the fiercest foe stand before us…it matters not.

Our frostbitten axes and iron hammers will conquer any enemy. We have proven ourselves. Gjalpinulva. A dragon. What a beauty she was. Some may remember those times as dark and filled with death. No – Midgard was never more alive. The mead-halls were filled with Warriors! Skalds sang of her frozen glare! Warrior after Warrior marched into Malmohus, ready to be welcomed by the gates of Valhalla! But Gjalpinulva had a death sentence. Midgard made sure of that.

It may be odd, this tale coming from me. I was not one of those men. But I am now. It is in times like these when all of Midgard must band together. Here, you are a Northman if you’ve proven yourself in battle. Even if you were foes the night before. Battle? A simple task for those of my kind. But for what is coming – we cannot afford to stand apart.

In the depths of Midgard, ancient relics yet lie dormant. I have seen them. They are here. And their power is fearsome. The race to hold that power will begin soon. The realm will be tested, and not only against itself, but by a foe whose power approaches Odin's. Were these weapons ever meant to be held by our hands? No – but we will need them. All of them.

I write this from the deepest depths of Midgard. That some might read this gives faint hope. We must act decisively –  and soon. The dragons, the Catacombs, the Drakulv, the relics, the Glashtin – Midgard. We are all intertwined. We are all the North. And when this darkness comes, our bonds will be tested like never before.

Dark Destiny

Posted by Development | 2017 Mar 08 07:59 -0500 GMT

The Veil. It is endless. It is the end of all things. An orange expanse of nothing, yet…everything. We are all the Veil. We start as the Veil, and we will end as the Veil. I have learned as much by now...

Those who can harness it are deemed gods. But there are no gods here. No, just…. life. Life like you and I back home. Kings, queens, magi, slaves, beasts, and dragons. They are all here. Yes – dragons. And so it seems, after all, that we do indeed share something with those mighty terrors. We are not bound to reality. We are all the Veil. Alas, I am getting ahead of myself. Allow me to start at the beginning.

Years ago, I was among the many cadets, vagrants, and now heroes looking to make a name for myself during the Dragon Campaign. Cuuldurach, who we came to know as the Glimmer King, had been a menace to Hibernia for decades, and it was time to stop his reign of fear. Some of you men and women may recall the hardships the Glimmer King bestowed upon us. Sheeroe Hills was twisted from lush, green forests to the dark, raging skies of today. The Dark Elves, the Veil, Darkspire - not a thought then. Not even an existence. Now look at what it has all become.

Yes, we struck down Cuuldurach. Hibernia rejoiced, and deservingly so. The reclamation of Sheeroe Hills did not come without its toll. Many of us were lost during that campaign. But it was not over. The Glimmer, those mystical creatures, still lingered among the hills. How could we exterminate them all? The dragon eggs – was the spawn of the Glimmer King himself out there? It is here, at this point, where a new chapter begins – not the epilogue we had once assumed. If only we had known it then, we could have prevented what is coming. There is no stopping it now.

They are a curse. Beings so powerful, yet so evil. If their hearts were pure, what instead would our realm be? They plant their evil seed in the darkest depths of the hearts of men. The seed grows, and before long, that evil blooms. And it spreads, like the glimmer plague did once before.

Those seeds? The dragon eggs. Imagine – an egg of the Glimmer King at your feet. A source of endless power. What choice do you make? Do you take your hammer and end its evil? Do you take it back to the Veil from whence it came? Surely that answer is simple now after what I have seen.


Or is it? With power like that, is good possible? Or is an inevitable evil tied to these beasts?

1.122B Hot Fix

Posted by John Thornhill | 2016 Dec 07 19:34 -0500 GMT
We've been very happy with the action and response to patch 1.122B thus far! The dynamic underpopulation bonuses, tower layout and portal keep changes have been very well received and we're loving all the awesome feedback on the pet-class changes!

Below you'll find some quick adjustments and general bug fixes. Thanks again for the feedback and we'll see you in the frontiers!

Realm vs Realm


  • The siege tower hookpoint on the northeast corner of Dun Crimthainn should now be visible when shift+right-clicking on the keep and showing the hookpoints.
    • Please note that if you're currently logged in, you will need to logout and run the patcher before this change takes effect.
  • The siege tent at Nottmoor Watchtower will now spawn correctly.
  • The teleporter NPCs at each strength relic town no longer give incorrect information about the length of the portal timer. All portal ceremonies are 60s so long as the safe port supply line is open.


Class Balance

General

  • Several icons have had their widgets, borders, and icons adjusted and fixed.
    • Please note that if you're currently logged in, you will need to logout and run the patcher before these changes takes effect.

Bonedancer

  • Bonedancer “Totem” have been changed as follows:
    • Only one totem spawns at the target location, but effects are still radius based.
    • Totem effects now trigger as soon as the totem is cast, and continues to subsequently pulse as normal.

Druid

  • Cloak of the Loyal Druid has had its disease cure rate reduced to every 15 seconds, down from every 30 seconds.

Enchanter

  • The “Enchantment of …” spells now properly overwrite themselves on groupmates.
  • The Underhill Ally’s health regeneration buff has been removed.
    • This conflicted with the Bard’s heal song. The melee resistance buffs from the ally and its healing capability offer enough utility without needing to increase the regen buff’s value.
  • The level 48 PBAoE spell now does its correct damage.
  • The Loyal Enchanter class cloak /use add-radius ability now properly affects the group.
  • The Enchantment of Mana ability should properly function for all classes now.
Necromancer
 
  • The Revert Form ability now correctly shows up in the abilities list.
  • Necromancer ‘Ground’ abilities have changed as follows:
    • Only one ground storm spawns at the target location, but effects are still radius based.
    • Ground effects now trigger as soon as the ground is cast, and continues to subsequently pulse as normal.
  • Chthonic Form changes:
    • Now properly grants its parry and weaponskill buffs at all levels.
    • Now properly releases summoned pets at all levels.
  • Decrepit Form’s health regeneration has been scaled throughout level progression. The level 50 regeneration remains unchanged.
    • This will lower regen rates throughout the lower levels, mainly to balance out the previously very high regeneration rate in battlegrounds.
  • Power Lock now correctly stuns the Necromancer while grappling and draining its target’s power.
    • You cannot purge this stun, and it does not provide an immunity.
Paladin
 
  • The first tick of the Selfless Devotion RR5 now correctly fires.
