Mobs 2.0 Series: The Horse Patch!
Horses spawn wild in the Midlands and Broceliande. For now, no taming skill or animal lore needed.
Simply run up to the horse and press F. Ownership code is still too early yet for live play, so anyone can jump horses with no criminal penalty, for now. Also, mounts are not saved with the character yet, so keep that in mind.
New flying mob, the Harpy! They spawn at Umbergoth near New Minoc.
Dragons are known to spawn in Trollkin Mountains, Aelyntir, and Vilhorn Reach.
Balrogs with explosive whips spawn at the Muridor Keep located deep in the region of Hel.
Kobolds and Vendigo spawn at various ruins camps in Broceliande and the Barrows.
Find a horse, ride out and find them!
Next patch will probably have more new mounts, more mobs from the beastiary converted over to the better AI.
Mob AI Upgrade and More! Client b6.10c
Vendigo now cast unholy spells.
Balrog now has explosive whip, and flies.

This will be a continuing expansion with more mobs every patch.

Fixed client crash when logging in while holding a structure in preview mode.

Back To The Content!
Lots of new Regions have been defined and most have at least some spawns plus POI's.
The way Moongates identify the region has been tweaked. You are encouraged to hop the 'moongate circuit' and then look on your map in the interface menu, zoom out to see where you are.
For those that don't know, that's all the moongates really are, is a closed loop circuit that bounces you around the map until you finally get back to where you started.
There's are 8 hops to finish the loop.
Defined Procedural Quest Types:
Explore (NEW)
Hunt Mobs
Fetch Resources
Message Delivery
Newly defined regions include:
Sea of Woe (need to add water texture back to the sea lol)
Foothills of Mir
Hyraeth
Midlands East
Vilhorn Reach
New POI Zones:
Baraskur (orc and ogre stronghold in Urukstadt)
Germelhausen (undead village in Urukstadt)
Umbergoth (griffins and harpies spawn in Trollkin Mountains near New Minok)
New Faction Zones Defined for Future Use:
Stonewatch, Norgard, Helgate, and Ironwatch Keeps
These keeps are placed strategically near various moongates and will be part of a faction control system in the future. They each have a bindstone that can be used at your discretion.
These new POI's and regions unlock new variations for quests. Also, both faction towns New Minok (order) and Legion Keep (chaos) now have 1 vendor that gives quests paid in silver instead of copper.
