Update Notes - November 20, 2024

SCARS OF DESTRUCTION

Dangerous forces have been stirring, eliciting violence and stoking fierce rivalries across Norrath for months. Now, a band of concerned healers and followers of Quellious are closing in on the devious architect. Norrathians, journey to the remnants of Odus' coastline, scarred by Ulteran magic, and then beyond the unnatural barrier surrounding Western Wastes, on your quest into the vast Dragon Necropolis to upend the machinations of a cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous foe!

Artisans and adventurers, heed the call of the Open Hand. They are counting on your significant skill and exceptional experience to survive the deadly journey into the depths of the Sodden Archipelago! Bands of Ulteran magic dance through the air, and the skies roil with storms while the local residents, including kappa and Mandoko, fiercely defend their shrinking lands from the growing legion of Blackhook Raiders. Only then will we have the tools necessary to enter the revered lands raked by Veeshan's claw - the Western Wastes! Here, she had left her mark, and here her children have lived and died since the Age of Scale. And it is here where we will have to face ageless denizens within the draconic crypts and bone-chewing vermin, as we race against an unnatural army intent on acquiring an arcane item of destructive power from the Dragon Necropolis!

Plans will be derailed, repercussions will be felt, years of work will finally come to fruition, and enemies long lost to history will be brought forth, all within the Scars of Destruction!

ABILITIES

• General
  • Resolve damage scaling has been modified to scale up at an increased rate the more resolve the enemy encounter has vs the character's resolve. The formula for increased damage done to the character, increased bleedthrough on the character, decreased damage done to the encounter is ResolveDifference * ( 1+ResolveDifference * 0.002 ). Examples below.
    • Being 10 points of resolve below the encounter would increase the encounters damage to the character, bleedthrough on the character, and reduce the damage the character does to the encounter by 12%.
    • Being 20 points below the encounters resolve would increase the encounters damage to the character, bleedthrough on the character, and reduce the damage the character does to the encounter by 28%.
    • Being 50 points below the encounters resolve would increase the encounters damage to the character by 100%, grants 100% bleedthrough on the character, and makes the encounter immune to damage by the player.
    • Being 100 points below the encounters resolve would increase the encounters damage to the character by 300%, grants 100% bleedthrough on the character, and makes the encounter immune to damage by the player.
  • Several profession abilities that granted bonuses with a base value table on a level based curve have been adjusted to grant the maximum value within a specific level range. For example, a spell that granted a base multiplier of 10 at level 121 would give a lower amount then an otherwise identical spell that granted a base multiplier of 10 at level 125 due to the level scaling nature of base value tables.
  • Most base value tables have been adjusted to provide the maximum level range reward above level 125. For example all level 126-129 will now grant the same amount as level 130. AA abilities remain with the standard leveling curve, as they increase in application level as the character levels.
