New:  Fishing is now interactive with many new features and items.

New item: Fishing rod

New fishing reels

• Light fishing reel
• Medium fishing reel
• Deep water fishing reel
• Professional fishing reel

Fishing Reels

Fishing Reels are added to rods so that they can be used for fishing.  A fishing reel holds up to 1 line (which in turn may contain other things), and may be placed in a rod.  Fishing Reels will take damage from use, with rare fishing reels taking less damage and less likely to break rod.

Rare reels make it easier to reel the fish in.

New handles for fishing:

• Handle –  same item as current in-game version.
• Wrapped handle –  same item as current in-game version
• Reinforced handle
• Padded handle

New fishing lines:

• Basic line – used on pole, may only contain a (wood or metal) hook
• Light line – used on basic fishing reel, used to catch smaller fish
• Medium line – used on fine fishing reel, used to catch medium fish
• Heavy line – used on deep water fishing reel, used to catch large fish
• Braided line – used on professional fishing reel, used to catch ‘special’ fish

Floats

Floats can be added to lines which affects which fish are more likely to be caught.  There are 4 types of float:

• Feather – part of butchered loot from rooster, pheasant and hen.
• Twig – found on bush tiles.
• Small moss – taken from moss.
• Bark – found on overaged birch trees.

Floats will take damage over time when used, and will need replacing from time to time.

Hooks

• Hooks are added to lines to catch fish.  There are 3 types of hook:
• Wood – same as current item, better for fly fishing
• Metal – same as current item, better for deep water / sea fishing
• Bone – made from goblin skulls

Hooks behave as a container, which may contain bait, and will take damage over time as they are used.

Wood type will affect how fast a fish turns up

Bait

When used on a hook, bait increases the chance of catching particular fish.  There are 12 types of bait:

• Fly – You catch these using a pottery jar with a bit of honey in it, on animals that require grooming.
• Cheese Piece – Cheese Broken into smaller pieces.
• Dough Ball – a small ball of dough.
• Wurm – Found on dirt and mycelium tiles.
• Sardines – Caught using fishing nets in shallows.
• Roach – Caught in shallow waters.
• Perch – Caught in shallow waters.
• Minnow – Caught in caves.
• Fish Bait – Small fish chopped up.
• Grub – Found in shrivelled trees, prised out using an awl.
• Wheat Grain – from wheat!
• Corn Kernel – from corn.

Each time a fish bites on a baited line, the bait will take damage (e.g. the fish eats a bit of it).  Bait is not required to catch fish (i.e. you can catch fish without bait), but the chances are a lot lower. Different fish prefer different bait.

Fishing Net

The fishing net can be used to catch small fish in shallow waters.  Small fish may be used directly, or turned into bait to use on larger fish. This is the only way to catch sardines.

Keep Net

A keep net may be attached to a boat, and is used to preserve freshly caught fish (i.e. reduce decay).  It can also be planted on the ground next to a player.  Note that it must be planted, in water, to behave as a container; just dropping it will not allow fish to be placed in the keep net.  It can only be picked up when empty.

Tackle Box

The tackle box is a special new container designed to streamline fishing.  As well as being a convenient place to put spare floats, lines, bait, and other fishing paraphernalia, it automatically replaces fishing consumables as they are used up.  In particular, as bait and floats are consumed (i.e. reach 100 damage), if your tackle box contains a suitable replacement, it will be automatically be moved to the rod when it gets to 100 damage at the end of the fishing action.  The tackle box needs to be in inventory to work, and a consumed item will only be replaced by the same type of item (e.g. a feather float will only be replaced by another feather float; it will not be replaced with a moss float).

The auto-replacing will happen at the end of the Fish action.  The auto-replacement depends on fishing skill, with each item type having a specific skill requirement:

• Bait will be auto-replaced at 10 skill
• Hook will be auto-replaced at 30 skill
• Float will be auto-replaced at 50 skill
• Line will be auto-replaced at 70 skill or at any skill if reel exists.
• Reel will be auto-replaced at 90 skill (does not apply to fishing poles as they don’t have reels).

When an item is consumed (i.e. it wears out), you will get a message at the end of the fish action.

Spears

In addition to rod fishing, this update includes spear fishing.  This utilises the current spears already in game, with no functional difference (as far as fishing is concerned) between metal and long spears.

Fishing Rod Rack

The rod rack is a new container for storing fishing rods and poles when not in use.  It operates in a similar fashion to a polearm rack, and has different models for empty and utilised states.  Rod racks may be placed and secured.

Fishing Buoy

Buoys can be used to mark fishing spots.  They are floating items that are anchored to a particular item, and may be used to show special fishing spots, for example.  Buoys use the same placement rules as sign posts, except they need to be placed on underwater tiles.  They operate as light sources (similar to a street lamp), and may be dyed. If blessed will not use fuel, but do require fuel to be lit.

Water

All water tiles are now categorised into 6 groups:

• Sea – open water
• Sea shallows – open water shallower than 25
• Lake – enclosed water, larger than a pond
• Lake shallows – enclosed water shallower than 25
• Pond – enclosed water, not big enough to be a lake
• Water – not big enough to be a pond

Note: Any water tiles underground, uses Lake or Pond (or Water)

Note: The calculation is performed on server start so modifying water sources will not change their type until the next restart.

Brackish water

Lake water is considered fresh, while sea water is considered brackish.  Brackish water can be drunk and used for cooking as usual (with no ill effect), and can be boiled to make salt – 1 salt per kilogram of brackish water.

General Attributes

All fish now have a set of attributes which determine where and when they are more likely to be caught:

• Preferred water type (lake, sea, etc)
• Minimum and maximum depth.
• Feeding height.
• Rod types.
• Time of day – some fish like to feed in the morning, afternoon, evening or even at night
• Baits – each fish has a favorite bait, some baits it likes, others it is less likely to eat, and some it will never touch.
• Outside or in caves – some fish are only found underground
• Rare fish can only be caught on special tiles (which are out at sea).

Special Tiles

Special tiles are an area where special (rare) fish may be caught.  They will now move with the season, and have been recalculated (i.e. they will have moved on server restart).  Non-special fish types may be caught on special tiles, but special fish can only be caught on special tiles, and a lesser chance if close to a center spot. These areas can overlap, so its possible to find places where two special fish can be caught.

Special tiles are only found in open water (i.e. sea).  Finding and recognising tiles is unchanged, and uses a pendulum.

New:  Chicken coop added

Requires 50 Fine Carpentry skill to create and continue.

Coop info

Coops contain multiple sub items inside.

• Nesting Box, This is where the loaded hens reside.
• Feeder, this is where you place food.
• Drinker, this is where you place water.
• Egg Box, this is where you get the eggs from when they are laid.

Locks and permissions

• Coops are lockable and spawn on creation with a 1ql small padlock.
• Coops have manageable perms, like any other lockable container.

Loading

• You can only load hens into the coop.
• To load a hen, one must first lead one, then right click the coop and click “load creature”.
• To be able to load the creature there must be water in the drinker and food in the feeder.
• You can only put food in the feeder that can be planted. Example: pumpkin seed, or corn.
• Loadable chicken count is QL / 10 + rarity (max 13 for 100ql fantastic).
• QL must be greater than or equal to 10 to load a chicken.

Feeding and watering

• Polling for the feeder and drinker happens every 4 hours at which time, creature count in food is subtracted from the feeder. E.g. if there are 4 hens loaded 4 food will be subtracted.
• Also 250 grams of water for each hen will be subtracted from the drinker.

Egg output

• Eggs will be created every 12 hours.
• Egg ql is dictated by the ql of the coop.
• Egg count is equal to the count of the chickens.
• If either the feeder or the drinker is empty on egg poll the chickens will be unloaded on the center of the tile where the coop resides.

Misc. info

• You cannot load a coop with chickens in it.
• Chickens in a coop, on deed, count towards the ratio.
• You cannot bash a coop with chickens loaded.
• The egg box will only hold 100 eggs.

New: Tower influence chaining system on PvP servers:

Influence Chaining

An influence chain is any land that a kingdom has influence over that is fully connected (chained) back to a valid starting point for that influence. All kingdom capitals and starter deeds (for base kingdoms) are considered a chain start point, and any tower or deed in a kingdom must connect back to that start point via influence chaining.

In order for a tower or deed to be considered chained to a kingdom’s influence, it must have a continued chain of influence (from kingdom towers) back to a chain start point. Towers radiate an influence out to 60 tiles from their base, and deeded land has influence as well. Because of this, any new towers built must be built within a 100 tile range of another tower of the same kingdom (minimum range remains 50) in order to continue the chain.

In order to carry over the current state of towers on the servers at the moment, any tower within 120 range of another will still be considered chained, and allows for a valid spot between those two towers to build a new one to maintain the chain should one tower be destroyed after the update (and can no longer be rebuilt at 120 range).

There are a few penalties involved with this system to promote completing and holding chained influence:

• Any tower outside of chained influence will no longer respawn tower guards.
• Any deeds outside of chained influence will respawn spirit guard waves 3 times slower.
• Any deeds outside of chained influence will no longer have guards maintain fences, bridges, floors and walls – similar to when a deed has less than a month of upkeep remaining.
• Any deeds outside of chained influence will have on-deed mine doors take 3 times as much bashing damage.

Tower Conquest

Towers will no longer be able to be conquered to convert them to your kingdom. To remove a tower, you will have to bash/destroy it, then reconstruct a new one within your tower influence chain.

Bashing a tower will now spawn waves of guards when it reaches 30, 60, and 90 damage, and waves will become more challenging as the damage increases.

At 90 damage, the kingdom that owns the tower will get a message in the Deaths tab stating that the tower is under attack.When the tower is destroyed, there will be a global message to all kingdoms on the server that the tower has been destroyed.

Change:  Major priest rework.

• All of these demise and protection enchants have been removed from existing items. They will no longer apply to weapons and armour. These spells instead been reworked into the following spells to enchant jewelry.
• All of these spells conflict with each other and Nolocate, meaning you can only have one of these enchants on a single piece of jewelry at a time.

• Rite of Death – Now grants 0.2% Soul Strength towards 100 and 5 hours of sleep bonus.

Healing Rework

• Healing spells now work off a global healing resistance debuff. This debuff is applied based on how much health is healed on the target, and will reduce all further healing on the target from any of the listed healing sources based on how much time remains on the debuff. The maximum time is about 20 minutes, and the reduction scales linearly from that mark. For example, if you have 10 minutes on your healing resistance, you’ll receive heals at 50% effectiveness.
• Cure Light – Now heals 15% + up to 5% more based on cast power. Previously healed 15%. Target of the cast now gets an on screen message stating that their wound was healed. Range increased from 1 tile to 3 tiles. Can now be cast on a creature and will automatically target their highest severity wound.
• Cure Medium – Now heals 30% + up to 10% more based on cast power. Previously healed 30%. Target of the cast now gets an on screen message stating that their wound was healed. Now deals more damage to undead. Range increased from 1 tile to 3 tiles. Can now be cast on a creature and will automatically target their highest severity wound.
• Cure Serious – No longer heals a wound fully. Instead, heals a wound for up to 90% + up to 30% more based on cast power. Target of the cast now gets an on screen message stating their wound was healed. Now deals more damage to undead. Range increased from 1 tile to 3 tiles. Can now be cast on a creature and will automatically target their highest severity wound.
• Heal – Now heals 40% to 200% based on cast power. Previously healed 30% to 150%. Target of the cast now gets an on screen message stating they were healed. Range increased from 1 tile to 3 tiles.
• Life Transfer – Amount healed remains the same, but no longer heals wounds at random and instead prioritizes high damage wounds. Also bypasses the minimum damage threshold for healing, and will always apply some amount of healing as long as damage is dealt with the attack. Now works off the global healing resistance.
• Light of Fo – Completely different operation. No longer heals wounds at random and instead prioritizes high damage wounds. Still limited to 5 wounds. Cast power heavily impacts the severity of wounds that are able to be healed. Cast time increased from 10 seconds to 15 seconds.
• Scorn of Libila – Completely different operation. No longer heals wounds at random and instead prioritizes high damage wounds. Wounds healed limit increased from 2 to 3 per target. Now heals at minimum 3 wounds even if no damage is dealt. Each target that is dealt damage now allows up to 3 additional wounds to be healed, increased from the previous 1. Difficulty reduced from 60 to 50. Area of effect adjusted to 7×7 – 11×11 based on cast power.

Spell Resistances

Many offensive spells in the game now also have their own resistances. These function identically to the healing resistance above, but have much lower maximum durations for their resistance values.
Drain Health – Resistance applies to both the offensive and defensive portions of the spell. For example, using this to heal will give you a resistance to Drain Health, which not only reduces healing received from consecutive casts, but also reduces damage taken from others attempting to Drain Health you. Resistance is capped to 5 minutes.

• Fireheart – Resistance capped to 2.5 minutes.
• Fire Pillar – Resistance capped to 3 minutes.
• Fungus Trap – Resistance capped to 3 minutes.
• Hypothermia – Resistance capped to 5 minutes [Shared with Inferno and Worm Brains].
• Ice Pillar – Resistance capped to 3 minutes.
• Inferno – Resistance capped to 5 minutes [Shared with Hypothermia and Worm Brains].
• Pain Rain – Resistance capped to 4 minutes.
• Rotting Gut – Resistance capped to 2 minutes.
• Scorn of Libila – Resistance capped to 5 minutes. Applies to damage portion only. Healing is affected by global Healing Resistance.
• Shard of Ice – Resistance capped to 2.5 minutes.
• Smite – Resistance capped to 5 minutes.
• Tentacles – Resistance capped to 3 minutes.
• Tornado – Resistance capped to 3 minutes.
• Worm Brains – Resistance capped to 5 minutes [Shared with Hypothermia and Inferno].

Locate Rework

• Locate Soul – Now has a 2 minute cooldown. Utilizes Locate Resistance.
• Nolocate – No longer able to be cast on creatures/players. Utilizes Locate Resistance.
• Lurker in the Dark – Now has a maximum radius of 100 tiles. This is reduced by up to 50 tiles based on the highest equipped Nolocate jewelry of a player. This is reduced again to 25 tiles when it’s a stealthed player.

Locate Resistance

• When located successfully by another player, you obtain “Locate Resistance” with a duration based on the highest Nolocate power jewelry you have equipped. This resistance prevents you from being located by any player until it expires. At 100 nolocate, this duration is 5 minutes. Being located by other players in your kingdom will not apply a cooldown, even if you have Nolocate.
• If the casted locate spell does not beat your nolocate (the power is lower than your jewelry), the Locate Resistance is not applied and the locate spell fails. The locate spell will still receive a cooldown.
• The messaging is identical whether you resist a locate due to having a higher nolocate power or have Locate Resistance. This means players cannot know for certain whether you are resistant or whether their specific cast did not defeat the threshold required.

Specific Spell Changes

• Aura of Shared Pain – Removed from Magranon. Added to Libila.
• Bearpaws – Damage bonus for players has been increased significantly. The new damage bonus is roughly triple the previous values of Bearpaws. Bonus damage for non-players remains the same.
• Bless – Followers of Libila no longer need to Bless a creature in order to tame it. They can still bless a creature to prevent a white-lighter from taming it.
• Bloodthirst – Epic changes to Bloodthirst now apply to all servers. Now deals up to 33% increased damage at 10k instead of modifying base damage. Additionally, Bloodthirst now has a power / 100,000 chance to inflict an infection wound on the target (10% at 10,000 Bloodthirst). This infection wound will ignore enemy glance rate. Infection wounds now heal or worsen every minute, and will rapidly worsen. Bandaging or treating the infection wound will stop the worsening effect, but it will still tick every minute.
• Break Altar – Now costs 20 favor to cast on normal altars. Remains 80 favor to cast against WL/BL.
• Charm Animal – No longer able to be interrupted by taking damage during combat.
• Cure Light/Medium/Serious – See Healing Rework above.

• Dispel – Now has a difficulty increase based on distance. Does not apply to item dispels. Now partially dispels effects on creature targets based on cast power. The dispel resistance is no longer a pass/fail mechanic and now reduces the power of dispel casts on a target with resistance. Dispel resistance has been translated to the new resist system.
• Dominate – Power of the cast now uses Channeling as the primary skill check, with Soul Strength added as a bonus. This is the reverse of previous functionality. It should be easier to dominate creatures if your Channeling is higher than your Soul Strength after this change. No longer able to be interrupted by taking damage during combat.
• Drain Health – No longer heals a set amount when cast. Instead, it now heals for double the amount of damage dealt. Uses new spell resistance (see above).

• Fungus Trap – Deals wounds 10 times faster for 1/10th damage. Base damage increased from 250 to 350. Damage per power reduced from 2.5 to 2.0. Damage now ignores armour. Now displays an on-screen message for nearby players when being cast and finished casting. Uses new spell resistance (see above).
• Frantic Charge – No longer grants bonus movement speed (to mounts or otherwise). Duration multiplied by 20 to match other buffs like Excel, Oakshell, and Truehit.
• Frostbrand – Now bypasses the minimum damage threshold and will always apply a wound, regardless of the target’s armour.
• Genesis – No longer instantly kills undead, and instead inflicts a heavy internal wound between 50% and 125% health based on power. Damage ignores armour, but does not ignore other DR factors such as body strength and similar.
• Heal – See Healing Rework above.
• Hell Strength – No longer limited to below 40 strength. Now applies a temporary “curve” to Body Strength and Soul Strength based on cast power. Both stats are modified at roughly half value of Forest Giant Strength’s effect.
• Humid Drizzle – Cooldown reduced from 15 minutes to 30 seconds. Cast time reduced from 40 seconds to 30 seconds. Creatures now gain a 15 minute resistance to Humid Drizzle when affected. They will not be able to be affected by another Humid Drizzle until the resistance expires.
• Ice Pillar – Deals wounds 10 times faster for 1/10th damage. Base damage decreased from 250 to 150. Damage per power increased from 2.5 to 4.0. Damage now ignores armour. Now displays an on-screen message for nearby players when being cast and finished casting. Uses new spell resistance (see above).
• Mend – Quality reduction is now based on how much damage was repaired. For example, mending an item with 7 damage will only reduce quality by 0.7. Maximum amount of damage mended per cast remains 20.
• Mole Senses – Now performs an “analyse” on the rocks below the surface when cast. This will display ore types detected in the caves below, with the radius and types of ore discovered based on cast power.
• Nimbleness – Favor cost reduced from 80 to 60.
• Land of the Dead – Amount of corpses raised is now limited to cast power.
• Life Transfer – Favor cost reduced from 120 to 100. Healing uses the new healing resistance (see above).
• Light of Fo – See Healing Rework above. Now displays an on-screen message for nearby players when being cast and finished casting.
• Locate Artifact – Now available on all deities, including Fo and player demigods.
• Lurker in the Woods – Now able to locate unique creatures as well as champions.
• Mass Stamina – Cast time reduced from 20 seconds to 15 seconds.

• Oakshell – Maximum damage reduction decreased from 80% to 70%. Maximum glance rate decreased from 40% to 33.3%. Can now only be cast on players on PvP servers. Oakshell now reduces mounted movement speed across all servers instead of just Epic. This movement speed penalty has been fixed to apply to hitched creatures as well.
• Pain Rain – Base damage increased from 4,000 to 6,000. Area of effect changed to 5×5 – 9×9 based on cast power. Uses new damage resistance (see above).
• Phantasms – Reworked into essentially a new spell.
• On players: Now applies a debuff that causes the outlines of enemies and allies to swap randomly every few seconds.
• On non-players: Now causes the target to attack a nearby unit that is hostile to the caster. For example, with two trolls attacking you, casting on one of the trolls will cause it to attack the other.
• Rebirth – Creatures resurrected using Rebirth can no longer be equipped with gear, unless it is valid equipment (such as saddles, horse shoes, etc. on a zombie horse). This removes the ability to equip zombie trolls with weapons and armour.
• Refresh – Cast time reduced from 15 seconds to 9 seconds. Range increased from 1 tile to 3 tiles.

Player Demigods

• Demigods now have a “template” deity that their religion is based on, selected from the four base gods.
• These templates affect the affinities that each demigod provides. For example, demigods with Vynora as their template will be able to pray on water and get double favor from sacrificing pottery. Any demigod following a different template is unable to obtain these affinities.
• Priests can now link with any priest of the same template. For example, this means that any Libila priest can link with any other blacklight demigod (Tosiek, Nathan, and Gary). Any priests of Tosiek, Nathan, and Gary can also link with each other.
• The existing demigods have the following templates:
  • Libila: Tosiek, Nathan, Gary
  • Fo: Nahjo
  • Vynora: Paaweelr
  • Magranon: Smeagain
• Demigod passives have been rerolled with the exception of the template passives (listed above).
• Passives are now more likely to align with the template deity, but some will be outliers to create interesting combinations.
• Demigod spells have been completely rerolled using a new system to distribute the spells.
• The new system uses the affinities of the demigod to determine what type of spells they should obtain, as well as avoiding overpowered or useless combinations that render a god too strong or too weak.
• Updated information regarding their current passives and spell lists can be found in this spreadsheet on the second sheet (Deity Information).

Miscellaneous & Messaging

• Spell List Improvements – The Spell List window has been completely overhauled and has many new features to offer.
• Larger Window – The window that displays is now larger. This should prevent having to resize the window in order to see all the passives and spells available to you.

• Maximum cast power for champions on home servers has been increased from 30 to 50.
• Tile spells now use multicolor line messaging for casting, similar to creature casts.
• Creature enchant spells will no longer give “would never help the infidel” errors when attempting to cast on an allied player following a deity that doesn’t agree with yours. Instead, this error now only occurs when attempting to cast on enemy players.

Cooking changes

Thanks to the special efforts of Pandalet we have an awesome handy guide for those who wish to read up on what to do or how things work, check it out here.

General

• Standard meals can still be made, however junk items such as nails are not used as an ingredient and if present in a container, they will stop the food item being made.
• Meats now have a material, e.g. Meat, Dragon and Meat, Game. As you can see it does not use the animal type, but a category as we have so many animal types. Some of the categories are: (there are 16 total)
  • Dragon
  • Game
  • Human
  • Humanoid
  • Snake
• Meat and fillets can now be put in FSB and Crates.
• Fish and fillets can now be put in FSB and Crates.
• Existing Zombified milk will lose its zombie status. New zombie milk should be fine.
• You will be able to seal some containers so long as they only have one liquid in them, this will stop the liquids decay.
  • Small and Large Amphora
  • Pottery Jar
  • Pottery Flask
  • Water Skin
  • Small Barrel
  • Wine Barrel (sealed with a peg)
• Cooking will now be from recipes, this does not mean that you cannot continue cooking like you used to though, although some recipes will have changed.
• A personal cookbook is now available which has the recipes that you know about in.
• Hens eggs can now be found when foraging on grass tiles. And you will be able to put them in FSB, but that makes them infertile. The egg count on a server will be only the fertile ones.

Old containers and tools – now with more use.

• Sauce pan – had to change size of this, but that means some recipes need a new one which is larger.
• Pottery bowl – can now be used to hold liquids as well, a lot of recipes use this.
• Hand – used to make some mixes, and other things. Note if a recipe says a hand must be used, actually any active item will work.
• Fork – how else were you going to mix some stuff!
• Knife – used a lot in food preparation.
• Spoon – An alternative way to mix things (so same ingredients can be used in multiple recipes. Also can be used to scoop.
• Press – can be used to squash something.
• Branch – branching out, could be used as a spit …

New containers and tools

• Stoneware. – used to make things like breads, biscuits etc
• Cake tin – used to make cakes
• Pie dish – used to make pies and tarts
• Roasting dish – used to roast food.
• Plate – used to make salads and sandwiches on.
• Mortar+Pestle – used to grind small things (e.g. spices)
• Measuring Jug – used to get a specific amount of liquid, its volume can be adjusted (volume is same as weight for this).
• Still – used for distilling.
• Larder – used to reduce decay of food items in it, so long as it has ice.

New crops

• Carrots
• Cabbage
• Tomatos
• Sugar Beet
• Lettuce
• Peas
• Cucumbers

New Bush

• Hazelnut bush – now you know where the hazelnuts come from.

New Tree

• Orange Tree – because it seemed like a good idea.

Spices

• All can be planted in a planter, except Nutmeg.
• Cumin
• Ginger
• Nutmeg.
• Paprika
• Turmeric

New Herbs

all Herbs can be planted in a planter.

• Fennel
• Mint

New items that are only found by forage / botanize.

Note all above spices and herbs and the new vegs can be found this way as well)

• Cocoa bean
• Nutmeg (note this is a spice but cannot be planted in a planter)
• Raspberries
• Hazelnut sprout.
• Orange sprout.

Rocksalt

• Rock tiles that would of produced salt when mining will now be shown as Rocksalt veins (this may take a day or two to show), but have a limited life (e.g. you get 45-50 rocksalt from one).
• The Rocksalt can then be ground into salt using a grindstone. You can get more than one salt from each Rocksalt depending on your milling skill.
• Veins that had salt in, will be unaffected, e.g.you will still be able to get the random salt when mining them..

Trellis

• A new trellis has been added for hops.
• Trellis can now be harvested when their produce is in season (except ivy ones which don’t have a season).
• To help plant your trellis in nice straight lines, you can plant them using a wall, fence or tile border. And have three options, on left, center and on right.
• There is a limit of 4 planted trellis per tile. Any extras that are currently planted on same tile will become unplanted.
• A trellis must be planted to be able to be harvested.

Flowers

• Flowers can now be used in some recipes and rose petals, oleander, lavender and camellia.

Milking

• Milking is now a multi-step process, e.g. the more skill you have the more milk you can get, but does also depend on the creature’s age.

Harvesting

• Harvesting fruit from trees and bushes are now also a multi-step process, again depends on your skill and the tree / bush age as to the maximum harvested. Also the result QL is now closer to your skill level (at higher levels).
• Harvesting trellis is very similar, but uses your skill and the QL of the trellis.
• Harvesting fields will also use this way to calculate the QL of the yield.

The goodness of food

• Each meal made will have a bonus attached to it, so the same type of ingredients making the same meal (in same type of cooker and same type of container) will end up with this same bonus.
• This bonus will give a timed affinity to a skill, the skill can be different per player, e.g. fish and chips may give a temp weaponsmithing affinity to Joe, but to Tom it gives carpentry, (also may not give it to any skill).
• Nutrition has not been changed.

Bees

• Wild bee hives will appear in spring at random locations and they will vanish at the end of the year (in winter). Note they will be in different locations each year.
• As time passes honey will be made in hives together with bees wax, the amount will depend on nearby flowers, fields and trees.
• Each wild hive will start with one queen bee, this may increase by one every wurm month, to a maximum of two, so long as the hive has over a certain amount of honey in it. When there is two queen bees if there is a domestic hive nearby it may migrate to it.
• A single queen may migrate to a nearby domestic hive if it is a better ql.
• Domestic hives will be loadable. Even with a queen in it. So you can move it to somewhere, e.g. your own deed. Watch out as bees sting!
• Bees in hives in a vehicle still need food, so if no honey of sugar they may die if there for a long time.
• Domestic hives that had a queen in it, will go dormant over the winter period and will become active again in spring. But it is possible for the queen to die over winter if no honey is left in the hive (Note can put sugar in hive to keep the queen alive.
• Honey (and beeswax) can be collectable from hives.. But you may need a bee smoker.. So bees do not sting you, note that this bee smoker is useful at other times, like if you want to chop down a tree that has a hive, or load/unload a domestic hive which has a queen in it.

Recipes

• Instead of examining a food container to see what it will make, you now can use Lore, to see what it will make or to get hints on what ingredient you could add into the container to be able to make something.
• Some more specialised recipes will call for a meat of a specific category, or a specific fish, but most will use any meat or any fish or even any veg.
• Most new recipes only require one of each item, main exception is making sandwiches which normally requires 2 slices of bread.
• Some recipes are an intermediate step, or some sauce which is used later e.g. there is cake mix and white sauce.
• Lots of new food category types e.g.
  • Biscuits
  • Cookies
  • Curry
  • Pie
  • Pizza
  • Salads
  • Scones
  • Tarts
• And some of your old favorites like.
  • Cakes
  • Meal
  • Sandwiches
  • Tea
  • Wine
• And there are some new drinks which will need distilling, e.g. different spirits.
• Note you will need to experiment to find their recipes, but do note some items need a mix before adding other items, e.g. you will now need a cake mix to make cakes.
• Some ingredients will only be found doing forage/botanize actions, whilst others, once found, they may be able to be planted as a crop or even in a planter (e.g. most spices and herbs can be planted in a planter).
• Fresh is an attribute of an item when just found from foraging or picking, if you put it in a FSB it loses that attribute.
• Some recipes are nameable this means that whoever is the first to make the item for that recipe, will have their name added to the front of that recipe name, e.g. if Pifa was first to make a meat curry (assuming that was nameable) then it would show to everyone, when they discover it, as “Pifa’s meat curry”.
• These recipes can be named on each server. E.g. the same recipe can be name by multiple people so long as different servers.
• Note only one recipe can be named per person.
• Some recipes are pre-named.
• Some recipes may only be makeable once you have that recipe in your cookbook, these recipes are only available from killing certain creatures.
• Recipes can be inscribed onto papryus (or paper), to do this you need to be looking at the recipe in your cookbook, and then use the reed pen on a blank papryus (or paper).
• You can then mail these or trade them to others, where they can add it to their cookbook, if they don’t know it, by either reading the recipe and selecting to add to their cookbook or activate it and r-click on the cookbook menu option.
• Some old items are still make the old way, e.g. sandwiches, those are now called endurance sandwiches, and will not give any CCFP or timed affinity. These can still be used for the climbing as you may take a bite from them even when full.

Planter

• Items can be planted in a planter, e.g. a herb or a spice (not all spices).
• The planted item will start growing.
• After a while it will be available to be harvested.
• Harvesting will be available daily.
• Each time you harvest it will prolong its life
• Eventually it will get too woody to be harvested, then it is time to start afresh.

Lore

• Using Lore on a container, will let you know what could be made
• If the contents match a known recipe (known by you that is). You would get a message like:
  “The Ingredients in the frying pan would make an omelette when cooked.”
• If the contents match an unknown recipe. Message would be like:
  “You think this may well work when cooked”
• If the ingredients would make any recipe but has an incorrect amount of a liquid then you would get something like:
  “The ingredients in the saucepan would make tea when cooked, but…there is too much water, try between 300g and 400g.”

Partial Matches

• It performs checks in this order
  • Unknown recipe that is not nameable.
  • Unknown recipe that is nameable.
  • Known recipe that is not nameable.
  • Known recipe this is nameable.
• If the contents form part of any recipe, it will give a hint as to what to add to make that recipe. E.g. “have you tried adding a chopped onion?”.
• Note the recipe is picked at random from a list of possible recipes and so is the shown ingredient.

Cookbook

• Every person has a cookbook, where your known recipes are shown.
• The cookbook is client-side, and this means it is more responsive (and dynamic).
• The recipe list is shown at start and each recipe is coloured depending on;
  • If it is a favourite (shown in goldenrod)
  • If it is globally known (shown in green)
  • Rarity colour (if applicable).
  • If known by you (shown in white)
  • And If unknown it will be in red. This is shown when the recipe is a requirement for a known recipe.
• When you expand a recipe you see what is needed to make it, You can drill down if an ingredient matches a known recipe. Note it is possible that an ingredient that is a result of another recipe not to be shown as a container, this is because there is not an exact match. E.g. wort, used in making beer, can be made from several different recipes and it is then used to make further recipes, But the final recipe just says it needs unfermented beer, not the actual recipe.
• Right-click menu options
  • You can set any recipe as favourite.
  • You can add a note to any recipe.
  • You can mark a recipe to be written to paper (only one can be written at any time, and will be reset if you relog)
  • Once you have marked a recipe to be written, you then need use the right-click menu option on the paper/papryus with an active filled pen.
  • You can search the recipes by their name (similar to how crafting recipes works), or by any notes
• You can also filter the list to just show favourite recipes.

Nutrition

• The existing nutrition system has been augmented by the calories/carbs/fats/proteins system (CCFP).
• Every edible item has a set of CCFP values. These are combined when creating a result item to give the result item CCFP values of its own. When eating something, the CCFP values increase the player’s CCFP bars, with the amount of increase being based on the amount of food consumed (where the maximum amount of food a player can consume is determined by current food bar value).
• The elements of CCFP affect the player as follows:
  • Calories – high bar reduces stamina drain
  • Carbs – high bar reduces water usage
  • Fats – high bar increases favour regeneration also used to reduce sleep bar drain.
  • Proteins – high bar reduces food usage
• When a player’s food bar is full, no further food may be eaten:
  • Exception is that an endurance sandwich can always be eaten.
  • A second exception is sleep powder.
• Similarly, when a player’s water (thirst) bar is full, no further drinks may be drunk.

Temporary affinities

• When a player consumes a prepared food, they will be granted a temporary affinity. This gives a 10% bonus to skill gain in a specific skill for a short period.
• The duration of the temporary affinity is set by how much of a food item is consumed – the more that is eaten, the longer the temporary affinity will last.

Runes

• Runes can be created from the resources left behind from rifts, rift crystals, rift stones, and rift wood. Most of these runes can be attached to another item to give that item a bonus, while others can be used one time to activate their effect.
• Crafting together a piece of these resources and a lump of metal will give the option of 5 runes:
  • Fo
  • Magranon
  • Vyn
  • Libila
  • Jackal.
• Crafting runes will use one of three skills depending on the rift resource used:
  • Fine Carpentry for rift wood.
  • Jewelrysmithing for rift crystal.
  • Stonecutting for rift stone.

• The combination of metal type and god type will determine the effect of a rune, while the rift resource used will determine what the resulting rune can be attached to or used on.
• Barring some exclusions, the following material types are used on their corresponding group:
  • runes made from rift wood can be used on wooden items.
  • Runes made from rift crystal can be used on metal items
  • Runes made from rift stone can be used on stone, pottery, cloth and leather items.

• There are a total of 65 different rune effects available, via the 13 different metals and 5 possible god types available.

• Rifts
  • Invasions from the moon Jackal! Team up, kill creatures and sacrifice their hearts to bring the next wave.
  • Rifts will spawn randomly over the server, away from deeds.
  • Source can also be sacrificed to open the rift if hearts are not available.
  • They will spawn on all servers.
  • Collect loot dropped by Rift creatures, with shoulder pads, rings, bracelets providing over two dozen different bonuses!
  • Bonuses from Rift equipment will be disabled on PvP servers (for now).
  • Invasions will be marked with a red light shining into the sky, they will appear 3 days prior to an invasion on PvE servers, and 1 hour prior to the invasion on PvP servers.
