Server Changelog

• Change: Item creation time on Epic has been significantly shortened to better match their previous lengths.

• Purchasing premium time while the event is already running doesn't count
  
• Your premium account is extended by 72 hours at the time of the event start if you meet these requirements

• Unique creatures are prevented from spawning

• All skills are limited to 30 while on Guidance
• Player-owned villages/deeds are disabled on Guidance, use building permissions and the new yard system to protect your property instead
• Players can only own one building at a time
• Newbie buffs, including the new item protection buff, have their timer frozen while playing on Guidance, making them effectively permanent until you are leaving the server
• Wells and fountains are always refilled, no matter what tile they are on

• Quests given by NPCs have been added to Guidance, to help introducing new players to the gameplay
• NPCs with quests available have a "!" icon above their head
• The "Talk" option in the right-click menu of such NPCs opens a dialogue window with all the details
• An improved "Journal" window was added to the quick bar where you can always track your quest progress
• Quests can have multiple stages with multiple goals
• Quests can have rewards for completing or starting them, reward details are displayed in the NPC dialogue or Journal window

• Added a yard system to Guidance which lets you protect small areas surrounded by fences
• The "Expand yard" and "Remove yard" options are available in the right-click menu for tiles when a mallet, hammer or trowel is activated
• Yard tile sections are only protected if connected to a building at some point
• The building which owns the yard must be entirely surrounded by walls or fences
• The "View protection" option in the right-click menu lets you view currently protected tiles and tiles which need additional fences for protection to apply
• Yard tiles can be invalid if not surrounded by fencing, making them removable by any player
• Yard tiles require the same amount of carpentry skill as adding tiles to a building, minus the skill required for the walls as yard tiles don't have those
• The total number of yard tiles is limited to the number of actual building tiles, so a 2x2 building for example would allow 4 yard tiles
• Yard tiles have the same placement restrictions as actual building tiles, which means they can't touch other buildings
• Items that are not allowed inside buildings are also not allowed inside yard tiles (such as mission structures or guard towers)
• Yard tiles can protect mine entrances as long as a mine door is present, removing the mine door will also remove the yard tile
• Yards prevent actions that would invalidate the yard, such as tunneling a cave entrance, unless the player has permission to modify the structure

• Added a building packing mechanic to transfer buildings from Guidance
• Added "ornate puzzle box" item as quest reward which lets you pack a building into it
• You must stand outside of a building owned by you on Guidance and activate the ornate puzzle box to get the "Copy building plan" option in the right-click menu
• This stores the entire building (excluding yard tiles) inside the ornate puzzle box and destroys the structure
• After moving to another server, the "Preview building" and "Deploy building" options will appear for the filled ornate puzzle box
• The area needs to be prepared (flat) and you need permissions for it in order to deploy the building from the box
• After the building is deployed, the ornate puzzle box is destroyed
• The ornate puzzle box cannot be dropped, traded or lost on death
• Deploying a packed building is not possible on PvP servers

• Fences within buildings (or their yards on Guidance) are now protected against destruction, lock picking or locking/unlocking using the building permissions
• Iron rocks now yield 2.0kg of iron lump instead of 0.8kg
• Bashing a fence, bridge or part of a building now always uses the same damage bonus you would get from having the deed permission to destroy structures as long as you are the owner of the structure
  • In other words, bashing your own structures is now as fast as bashing structures as a village mayor
• Bashing a fence, bridge or part of a building no longer requires 21 body strength if you are the owner of the structure it is part of or if you are the mayor of the village it is in
  • In other circumstances you now require 21 body strength in all cases
• "Reimbursements" action on settlement tokens is no longer shown when it's irrelevant/doesn't do anything anyway
• "Manage player payments" action on settlement tokens has been renamed to "Purchase premium time" and was moved out of the "Bank" submenu
• A new newbie buff has been added, granting item protection on death
• Changes have been made to action timers:
  • Penalties to action speed caused by hunger, thirst or low stamina have been decreased, with the maximum penalty staying the same but partial penalties being substantially lower
  • Having the water bar above 85% prevents thirst from affecting your action timers at all
  • Most actions have had their maximum timer lengths shortened significantly
  • These changes have the general effect of faster action timers at low skill, low stamina or low tool quality, with far less impact in cases where the timers were close to the fastest possible times already

• The whole system handling Actions is now more robust and has a lower impact on server performance
• Actions converted to the new system can always be bound to keys, be set as default action or are able to use the new toolbelt mechanic
  • Converted actions: Dig, Flatten, Level, Dredge, Mine, Tunnel, Cultivate, Pack, Pave, Sow, Farm, Harvest, Cut down, Chop up, Prune, Pick sprout, Plant sprout, Shear, Tame, Brand, Unbrand, Milk, Groom, Feed, Lead, Stop leading, Climb up/down, Improve, Repair, Create map, Embark/Disembark, Settlement related actions (Add to upkeep, Settlement management, ...)
  • Some converted actions may have minor changes made to their functionality to fix various bugs or to improve their usage
• Invalid actions are now visible in the right-click menu and show more informationabout what is needed in order to complete them
  • These invalid actions can be enabled and disabled by clicking the [?] icon in the top right-hand corner of the right-click menu
  • This should help new players to understand what to do how, the "Dig" option for example shows up and hints that you need a shovel set as active item
• Some actions now have embedded options in the right-click menu, indicated by a triple-dot icon on the right edge
  • Right-clicking the triple-dot icon allows you to toggle or select more options related to that action
  • The "Dig to pile" option can be toggled for the "Dig" action that way for example
• Not all actions are converted to the new system yet, but will slowly be updated over time
  • Converted actions are usually placed on top in the right-click menu, with icons showing their required active item
  • If you run into any issues with actions not performing as they previously did, please create a bug report

• The action queue is now visible in its own UI element inside the event window
• Actions in the queue can now be reordered or canceled in their UI window
• Holding alt while hovering an action in your queue shows more information about that action
• The action queue window can be undocked from the event window and moved around on the screen
• The action queue window can be hidden entirely by right-clicking the top right corner of the event window

• The existing toolbelt UI element has been removed, including all its functionality
• Toolbelts are now containers, holding up to 15 items (2 base, 1 additional for each 10 quality, 1 additional for each rarity level)
• While a toolbelt is equipped, all items inside are considered activated for actions which have been converted to the new actions system
• If your actual activated item is not valid for a given action, items inside your toolbelt are checked by the system to see if something from them will work
  • If your actual activated item is valid, it will be used instead and the toolbelt items are ignored
  • Actions which work with multiple items have their own preference list for items, "Cut down" will prefer a hatchet over axes, weapons or a saw for example
  • If multiple items inside your toolbelt have the same preference level, the item with higher quality will be used
• An icon on the left in the right-click menu indicates what item will be used for the action
• More details about the action and the used item is available when hovering over the action in the action queue

• Added a new quickbar which combines functionality from the existing quickbar, select bar and toolbelt
• The quickbar consists of two rows for slots, each slot able to hold an item or a quick bar button
  • You can drag items from your inventory onto quickbar slots
  • You can remove buttons by dragging them off the quickbar
  • Clicking the [+] icon at the top right of the quick bar opens a menu with more buttons which can be dragged onto the quickbar
• The top row of the quickbar changes its contents based on the selected tab on the quickbar, making large amounts of items and buttons available for it
  • You can create up to 10 tabs by clicking the [+] next to an existing tab
• The bottom row of the quickbar will not change when selecting a different tab, allowing a static list of commonly used items or buttons
• Clicking an item on a quickbar slot will activate it
• Quickbar slots can be bound to a key by hovering the slot with your mouse pointer and holding the key you want to bind it to
• You can scroll with your mouse wheel to activate items in the top row when hovering your mouse pointer over the quick bar
• The arrow on the far right corner of the quickbar allows you to toggle the select bar
• The lock icon on the quick bar locks all slots to prevent accidental changes to them
• The size of the quickbar can be adjusted by right-clicking it

• Default actions have been changed from a static list of action combinations to a dynamic, customizable system
  • Default actions must be enabled in the user interface tab in the client settings in order to work
• When hovering something that has a valid default action, the default action keybind and the name of the action that will be performed are shown
  • If "Repeat action" is bound to a key, the last action performed on that target type is also shown so you can repeat the action with that key
• The new star button in the top right of the right-click menu can be used to edit your default action configuration for the currently active item and target type
  • When hovering the star button with your mouse, you can hold down a key to change the default action keybind
  • The currently set default action for the given combination is highlighted in the right-click menu
• Clicking the star button lets you edit your default action for the current combination of the active item and target type
  • Clicking the star button will start the "edit mode", making valid options for the default action begin to flash
  • Clicking a highlighted action (the current default) in edit mode will remove that default rule from your settings
  • Clicking a non-highlighted action while in edit mode will set that as new default for the current combination of active item type and target type
• Advanced customization for default action rules is available when right-clicking a valid action while in "edit mode"
  • The first option is the rules related to the active item, letting you select any item of the current item type (e.g. any hatchet), just the current item (e.g. a specific hatchet), any item, or any item that match any of the selected categories
  • 
    After selecting the active item rules, you can select the rules relating to the current target of the action
    
    • 
      Similar to the active item options, these let you choose any of the target type (e.g. any birch tree), just the current target (e.g. a specific birch tree), a broad "any" category (e.g. any tile), or any target that matches any of the selected categories
      
  • 
    These advanced rules can differentiate between being mounted, not mounted, or both, which can be toggled between by clicking the very bottom option of the target rules before selecting the target rule
    
  • 
    Once a new default action has been set for the current active item and target pairing, if any other default actions that exist have a higher priority than the newly set rule, they may be removed from your configuration to ensure the new default works
    
• 
  The new default action settings are saved in their own configuration file alongside any other settings files the game client creates (e.g. the keybindings file)
  
  • 
    The client is shipped with a preset file of default actions, allowing you to use many of the new default actions immediately without having to customise anything
    

• Added a new portal system, allowing access to all servers with a single character
• The new portals (big blue crystals) will soon become available in starter towns on PvE servers and Chaos, allowing you to select another starter town on your current server or on another server to teleport to
• Your current server and the destination server combination will determine what will transfer together with you
  • Travelling between Southern Freedom Isles (SFI) and Nothern Freedom Isles (NFI) transfers everything except items
  • Travelling to a server which is also reachable with a boat transfers everything that would also transfer when you would be travelling with a boat
  • Starter items are an exception and will transfer between Southern Freedom Isles, Nothern Freedom Isles and Guidance
  • Existing transfer rules between Northern Freedom Isles and Defiance are unchanged, use the PvP portal like before to travel between these servers
  • Existing transfer rules between Southern Freedom Isles and Epic are unchanged, use an Epic portal like before to travel between these servers
• All servers have a direct link to Guidance, where everything except items will transfer to
  • When leaving Guidance, all items you have will transfer together with you (away from Guidance)
  • When travelling to Guidance from another server, you must return to that server first before you can continue travelling to another server

New tutorial server: "Guidance"

New portal system

Rework of the action system

Client renderer improvements

• No deeds - players will instead use the new enclosure mechanics, which will allow them to protect a fenced area around their house, where the building’s permissions will be enforced. This will also prevent the fences that make the enclosure from being bashed by other players. To prevent abuse, the maximum size of the enclosure will depend on both the Carpentry skill and the size of the building
  
• Players will only be able to own a single house on the entire server
  
• House packing - players will be able to move their house to a regular server of their choice, packing it into an inventory item.
  
• Skill limit - players will only be able to reach 30 skill, and accounts that transfer there will be capped to 30 skill (non-premium accounts are still limited to 20 skill)
  
• No priests - players cannot become priests, and current priests will not have their priest abilities on this server
  
• Limited creature type spawns - more dangerous creatures will not spawn on Guidance, so there’ll be no trolls or hell hounds chasing newbies there
  
• No rifts, holy sites, uniques
  
• Quests - inside the starter village, you will be able to find an NPC giving introductory tasks to anyone that wishes to do it. These will touch on multiple subjects that you need to learn to get started in the game, with new, more complex quests unlocking when you finish the simpler ones. Players can get some small rewards by finishing the quests, to help them on their way and motivate them further
  
• Newbie buffs will not run out while the player is on Guidance
  

• New players that still have the newbie buff will no longer drop items on death - so on Guidance, new players will never lose items when dying
  
• Scavenged iron rocks will give more iron
  
• Players will be able to bash their own structures without 21 Body Strength (so also without premium)
  
• Bashing bonus normally applied only while bashing structures on deeds, will now apply to all situations where an owner is bashing a structure, both on or off deed
  
• Many actions will have their duration reduced, and low stamina will increase the action time less than before. This will affect low skill action timers the most.
  

• A blue portal crystal will appear in every starter town on PvE servers and on Chaos
  
• Using it allows you to teleport to any starter town that has a portal in place
  
• This also includes Guidance, the new starter/tutorial server
  
• The portals allow you to teleport between SFI and NFI servers/starter towns, no more separation

• No-drop items or other special items on the same cluster will transfer the same way they would when crossing the server border with a boat
  
• The master cape will always transfer between all servers
  

• Epic transfer mechanics stay unchanged
  
• You can use any epic portal on SFI servers to get there as usual
  
• If you are on NFI, teleport to SFI first using the new portal system, then use any Epic portal
  
• The current Home Server<->Elevation portal mechanic for starter towns stays in place
