Participating in tonight’s Pendragon test? Good! We’d like to tell you about some additional prizes!
In addition to the Game Time Codes we are offering, we will be selecting 21 players (7 per realm) to receive a Platinum-Bound Chest on a character of their choice on Ywain.
Not enough? You’d like more? As you wish…
One player will be chosen to be immortalized in the game as an NPC! This fortunate individual will get to choose the name, realm, race, and location of their NPC (all subject to approval – no 200 foot NPC roaming around NF laying waste to everything, sorry.)
This drawing will take place at the end of Pendragon test event, and only those who take part in the full event will be eligible to win any prize! Good luck and we’ll see you on Pendragon tonight!

Update 4:00PM EDT / 2100 CET: Pendragon is back online! You may log in to continue charcopying and preparing your test character! We’ll see you tonight!
Pendragon will be taken offline Monday, March 24th at 2:00PM EDT / 1900 CET for the deployment of Patch 1.115c. We expect the downtime to be no more than 4 hours. The server is expected to be up no later than 6:00PM EDt / 2300 CET.
Players may continue to /charcopy their characters to Pendragon for this evening’s test event until the server comes down. You may find information on how to /charcopy by clicking here! Please find the Patch Notes for 1.115c below. Short and sweet!

RvR:
• A captured sixth Relic will now be stored in the Ruined Keep rather than the center island keeps
• A Relic cannot be stored in the Ruined Keep until all 5 other relics are stored in the other keeps
• Once a Relic is stored in the Ruined Keep, a Keep Lord and contingent of guards will spawn in the Lord Room to protect the relic; no other guards will spawn.
BUG FIXES:
• Doppelganger Realm Shards can no longer be used in the Capital Cities or Housing regions
• All Horse Armors now provide the correct speed bonus
• Boat routes should no longer deposit players on land or get stuck
• Dock encounters on Agramon have had their difficulty adjusted downward and made the same regardless of what realm controls them.

On Monday, Marth 24th starting at 7PM EDT / 0000 CET the Dark Age of Camelot team with the help of some volunteers will be conducting a test event on Pendragon. The test will run for two to three hours. Unlike our test from March 13th, Ywain will not be taken offline for this test.
We will be testing the updates made to the New Frontiers, and giving away some great prizes! Click the ‘More’ link to find out the details!
Similar to the Test event on March 13th, Test NPCs will be available in the Strength Relic Towns in the New Frontiers. These NPCs will provide Experience, Realm Ranks (with a cap at Realm Rank 5), Platinum, Master Levels, Epic Armor, and more! You’ll be able to create an RvR –ready character in just a few short minutes!
It is our hope, however, that you will /charcopy from Ywain, as we would like to for you to feel comfortable with your character as we conduct the test. For information on how to copy your character to Pendragon, please click HERE!
All players that join us through the entirety of the Pendragon test will be eligible to win a free Game Time Code!
· First Prize – One 6 Month DAoC Game Time Code!
· Second Prize – One 3 Month DAoC Game Time Code!
· Third, Fourth, and Fifth Prize – One 1 Month DaoC Game Time Code!
The drawing for the prizes will be held toward the end of the event, so be sure to stick around! Keep an eye on the Camelot Herald for additional updates on the test event.
We are very grateful for the assistance of the community, and we look forward to seeing you in the NEW New Frontiers!

Ok, so this isn’t really the Lord of the Grab Bags. It is, however, full of useful information, so please read it before it gets low self esteem.
(We love you Grab Bag. You’ll always be special.)
Click ‘More’ to read on!
Q1 Is there any chance that a mailbox system will be added to the game?
A: It’s (high) on our list of priorities! Mail opens up the possibilities for many many other things so we definitely want it in the game sooner rather than later.
Q2 I’m a Legendary crafter in several craft but if i want to set a title i have to check my trainer baaaah, boring… Any chance we can have all title available or – i dream – a title for someone with lot of legendary on the same char? Like Legendary Crafter or somethin?
A: Between the two options it’s easier to implement one-title-to-rule-them –all. It’s something we’d be happy to do for all of you hard working Crafters out there. We’ll let you know when it’s available so you can strut your stuff. You deserve it.
Q3 What is the predicted effect on zerg vs zerg warfare from the upcoming NF changes?
A: Predicting how everything will play out on a large scale after the revamp is next to impossible, however, here’s an outline of what we’d like to see happen in general:
Q4 For the upcoming patch, there are 6 total relics and there are three non relic keep, keeps. So my question is where is the 6th relic goes to be placed in that realm? Double relic in one keep just sounds bad. Maybe Reactivting the relic temples would be good. Right now with all the action is seems that there is now reason two enemy realms can’t open relic gates now. Plus the relic town is far enough away from temple to make it good to rally and defend temple.
A: We agree that 2 relics in 1 keep isn’t the best solution. However, with the strength relic temple so close to the portal ceremony and the power relic temple being integral to the final Pict event encounter, that just leaves one place left to house the 6th relic. The Ruined Keep!
Owning all 6 relics is something only the most powerful and organized of realms can accomplish. We rather like the idea of the 6th relic having to go into an always-open keep. That said, when a relic is stored in the Ruined Keep, a small contingent of guards, along with the Keep Lord, will spawn in the lord room. Just like in the other keeps, the relic will become capturable once the Keep Lord is defeated.
Q5 Is it possible for the server lists to display whether or not they have any characters located on them?
Also is it possible to implement a system where you can change between servers without completely logging out of the game client?
A: Improving the log-in dynamic is a big part of what we have in store for players after 1.115 because…well… currently it’s not great. You’ll likely see the updates in the order in which you asked about them – character lists first, then the ability to switch servers without having to close out your client. Can’t wait? Us too.
Bonus questions!
Q6 Could you correct the title Venerable Elder bug for European players?
A: With the update in our Account Center, this issue will be resolved. More information will be included in a post on the Camelot Herald, and we’ll let you know when it’s time to check /title!
Q7 Do crafted weapons and shields both have the to-hit bonus? What about Summoner’s Hall weapons, and how much exactly is the hidden to-hit bonus?
A: Here is a list of all weapons and shields that get the 5% to-hit bonus:
That’s it for this week’s Grab Bag! Be sure to keep an eye on the Herald for some announcements. Next week is shaping up to bring us something interesting!
Until next time, my friends – remember not to fall victim to any classic blunders.
– Never get involved in a land war in Yggdra Forest
– (only slightly less well-known) … never go in against a Lurikeen when death is on the line!

You’ll be able to create an RvR –ready character in just a few short minutes!
It is our hope, however, that you will /charcopy from Ywain, as we would like to for you to feel comfortable with your character as we conduct the test. For information on how to copy your character to Pendragon, please click HERE!
All players that join us through the entirety of the Pendragon test will receive a free Platinum-Bound Chest on Ywain! Additionally, at the end of the test, we will be conducting a lottery for five prizes!
· First Prize – One 6 Month DAoC Game Time Card!
