New customization feature
Membership reward changes
- The medal of gratitude (400 day reward) has been replaced with something similar but better.
- With the new order of rewards, special abilities are now given on days 100, 200, 300, etc, and items are given on days 25, 50, 75, 150, 250, 350, etc. This pattern will continue for new rewards, so that they alternate between items and abilities.
- When purchasing vault or guild vault upgrades in the Aberoth store, players are now given a short description of what the upgrade will do.
- Precious gems are now bought and sold for the same price in shops (there is no longer any profit for a shopkeeper buying or selling precious gems).
Gurun expansion
- Gurun's maximum buy price has been raised to 10,000 gold (up from 7500 gold). His maximum sell price is now 20,000 gold (up from 15,000 gold).
New creature and item
- Added item decay. Only the following items decay: rat brain, rat tail, gray wolf heart, white wolf heart, and the new item. If any of these items are currently in your vault, the decay process will not start until the first time you pick the item up, so old structures and old items will never decay if left alone. However, once picked up, or if new items of these types are added to your vault, they will eventually decay, even if they are part of a structure or are left alone afterwards.
- Decay times (in real life time) are 8 days for rat brains, 12 days for wolf hearts, and 4 weeks for rat tails.
- All decayable items in the game (and future decayable items) will give a status of the decay state of the item when picked up. If an item does not give a decay status, the item will never decay.
- When polymorphing, the skill focus for the new creature will now be whatever your player was focusing on before the polymorph. If the new creature does not have that skill, your focus will be whatever skill is most similar.
- Slightly upped silver dagger stats, and upped required skill to 30 (up from 25). Upped spiked shield skill to 10 (up from 5). Lowered bone shield skill to 20 (from 25). Terror shield remains at 35, but other bone shields are now evenly spaced between 20 and 35.
Poison cloud and acid cloud changes
Name change and rot modifications
- When the rotting of hearts, brains, and tails comes in a future update, the items will only rot in vaults when they are picked up. That way existing structures will be saved. I will make an additional special rule for existing white wolf hearts so they will not start to rot until they are picked up for the first time.
