- Added the Arcane Realm of Knowledge. The Arcane Realm of Knowledge is a new realm that is accessed through the bookshelf in the inn. The rules are the same as the common realms, but experience in your focused skill is doubled when divination (white) scrolls are glowing. This doubling stacks with the well rested and recovering bonuses.
- The valor 1000 day membership reward is now available for purchase in the Aberoth store.
- All player conditions (polymorph, drunkenness, mental fatigue from casting scrolls, charm cooldowns, etc) now wear off while logged off. When you log back in, the time you spent logged off will count against the condition duration as if you were playing the game for the same amount of time.
Arcane Realm of Power
The rules for the Arcane Realm of Power have changed. The new rules are as follows:
- There is no experience loss on death.
- All player kills inside the realm are considered justified. There is no wanted time or infamy.
- No engraved items are allowed anywhere in the realm. Engraved items that were already in that realm that were in vaults are no longer stuck in that realm. Engraved items that were not in vaults (for example, in the tavern) remain where they are, but have been moved to the home realm of the owner.
- Players who die will respawn in their home realm, and may not re-enter the Arcane Realm of Power for ten real life minutes.
Account Sharing in Arcane Creation
- To prevent account sharing in the Arcane Realm of Creation, players must now wait 24 hours between logging on to a character from distant physical locations.
- This restriction is necessary because shared accounts have an unfair advantage over accounts played only by one person.
Potent Fear Tweak
- When potently feared, you are now only restricted from picking up items you already fumbled and dropped. You may pick up any other item.
- Fumbled and dropped items may now be picked up by anyone else immediately.
1000 Day Membership Reward
- Added the 1000 day membership reward.
- This reward will probably be available for purchase in the Aberoth store later, but it may be a few weeks to let members with 1000 days have a chance to play with it first.
- Sholop now requires 6 pelts to craft a small sack, large sack, or backpack (up from 3 pelts).
- The werewolf pelt drop rate has been increased so that the average number of werewolf kills required to get enough pelts for a backpack is about the same as before.
- Sholop no longer crafts the 3 slot alchemist bag (to prevent players from accidentally crafting it).
Happy New Year!
The brand new 2019 Arcane Realm of Creation is now live. If you ever wanted to try Aberoth where everyone is low level, now is your chance.
The realm is only open to new players with memberships. You enter by striking the painting in the inn, and must not have any gold, items, or skills.
It is also possible to leave the realm during the year if you decide it is not for you. However, once a player leaves, they may never return.
The Arcane Realm of Creation does not allow players to play more than one character at the same time.
On December 23, 2019, all players remaining will receive a reward (the top 25 most skillful get a special reward). Then all players will be moved to the normal realms, and the Arcane Realm of Creation will be reset for the next year.
Good Luck!
Arcane Realm of Creation Reset for 2019
- The Arcane Realm of Creation for 2018 has ended. All players who were in that realm have been moved to the Common Realm of Creation. The top 25 most skillful players have been given a reward quest. The other five high score boards for the realm have also been archived, and will be made available for viewing early next year.
- The Arcane Realm of Creation is now reset and open for 2019. New characters may enter the realm by striking the painting in the inn. No one may enter if they have any skills, gold, items, vault, or are in a guild. Players may enter the realm now, but may not leave the castle until January 1, 2019.
- At the end of 2019 (Dec 23, 11:59PM), the top 25 most skillful players will receive a reward, all players will be moved out, and the realm will reset again. If there are signifigcantly more players in 2019 than 2018, the number of rewards may be greater than 25. The reward will probably be the same one that was given in 2018, so if you did not get it in 2018, you will have another chance to try for it in 2019.
Happy Holidays!
Visit Aberoth for the yearly special event happening now until Dec 25, 11:59PM US Pacific time.
Members should make sure to check their quests sometime during the event to receive a special item! (The special item is only given once per character, and is not available if the character already got it in a previous year)
- Once a skill has reached level 40, or you have attained Grand Master proficiency in a spell, progress toward the next level will display with accuracy of one hundredth of one percent.
- It is now possible to exit the vertical hallway in the castle, even if it is filled with players and animals. To exit, get as close as you can to the exit and keep pressing the direction of the exit, and you should be able to make it out in a few seconds.
- When gambling at Darklow's, players may now repeat their last bet by saying 'bet'. Players may now only place one bet at a time.
Vault Inventory Enhancement
- The 'vaultinventory' command now counts pets.
- If you say 'vaultinventory pets', you will see counts of each kind of pet, as well as the vault pet capacity.
