• The Darkness Falls dungeon will also grant the following additional bonuses for the duration of the event:

With our server downtime today, the following changes have been made:

General

Renvek got his name from his father’s own Dark Age of Camelot character and we are proud to honor the request to put an NPC that suits his playful nature into the game. For more information on Renvek’s story, you can visit his facebook page HERE.

• A new NPC, Renvek Larson, has been added to the towns of Mularn, Cotswold, and Mag Mell.
  • Renvek will grant level 5+ characters a new quest called: “[For Renvek] Finders Seekers”
  • Crafters will love his sense of style!
  • Take time out of your play-session to pay him a visit… if you can catch him!

New Frontiers

• The remaining pathing updates from 1.118 have been made to the NF zones. Players should see considerable improvement around the Alb “maze” areas and various bridges.

Otherworlds

• King Uther, Ymir, and Queen Cliodna’s difficulty have been reduced further.
• The Energetic Collections quests in each realm can now only be completed by killing succubi in the Darkness Falls dungeon.
  • Darkness Falls will be open to all 3 realms this weekend for an event, but more on that tomorrow!

Bug Fixes

• Players can once again purchase Dragonsworn armor or shields that show +15 or +22 prior to being spellcrafted as both versions will now grant the correct +15 stat after spellcrafting.
  • Fixes an issue where newly crafted Dragonsworn items were showing higher stat values for inherent stat bonuses (+22 instead of +15).
    • Note that this fix will not affect existing Dragonsworn items that are already showing the +22 value; those items will still revert down to +15 after being imbued.
  • Fixes an issue where previously crafted Dragonsworn items that were showing +15 on their inherent stat bonuses would revert to +10 when spellcrafted. These items now retain the +15 value after being imbued.
  • In other words, all Dragonsworn items that have inherent stat bonuses on them will now give the proper +15 bonus after being imbued or spellcrafted, including items that are only partially spellcrafted.
    • Note that this fix will not affect any Dragonsworn items that have the incorrect +10 bonus showing and are already fully imbued/spellcrafted.
• Equipped weapons that are not actively being wielded will no longer grant +skills to the character.
• Several issues with extraneous stat bonus values and unusable charges in the Koalinth Caverns revamped dungeon loot have been fixed.

Guilds

• New guild creation is temporarily disabled until some issues with newly formed guilds and their home server can be resolved.

The Ghost King Uther, the Siabra Queen Cliodna, and the Jotun Ymir await only the bravest souls that dare venture into the Otherworlds…
