Build Changes - Feb 8th 2021

[Kruell]

We have made structural changes in the game code and scripting, allowing us to make instances more interactive. These changes won't immediately be noticeable. If you find Instances or bosses get stronger as you bring higher level or more people to fight them, this is intended. We will be monitoring how this system works in the limited manner it is being used. More areas and Instances will be utilizing this code as time goes by.

Ancient Temple
We have converted this into an instance for lower levels. Rewards vary now and it is geared towards level 8. Players up to level 15 can enter. This instance will get tougher the higher level you take in.

Raiders Den
Idahria Daneiros (Raider Chief) now has her own instance. The Blackspawn built up her shack to a real headquarters and she now spends all of her time there. A Golden Key is still required to enter her dwelling. Be warned that this Instance also gets stronger the higher level you take in. For lower levels, there is a chance they get an NPC that will join them in the fight. Her guards are tricky though and the keys get passed around often. You may have to go back and keep hunting amongst the corpses to proceed.

Ringleaders Lair
After 4 years, the Ringleader realized that his enemies have figured out the secret password to his lair. The password is now changed frequently. It will be the player's responsibility to discover the new password each time they enter the Instance.

Blackspawn Ridge
The changes made here are purely script changes to improve the experience. Players are now guaranteed to at least get a blue drop if they finish the Instance. This is the first Instance using the new drop system which accounts for rewards from each boss to increase the chance of later boss drops.

Patina Caverns
In the Northern Wasteland, the refugees have tried to dig a well and instead discovered the lost Patina Caverns. During the time it was lost, the denizens have grown a bit stronger. With content geared toward levels 15+, this area is a new pathway for mid-level gameplay.

MISC
Potions have been changed somewhat. With the addition of Alchemy some potions have been removed from game and made craftable. Most notable, faction shops will no longer be the best place to get high level potions. So find a good alchemist to get good potions.
