The traveling merchants have been... err, traveling for too long but have finally returned to the realms to share their wares... for a price.

Several items have had their prices reduced and you'll find never-before-sold loot including the Frozen Medal of Honor, Gem of the Harbinger, and some of the new Darkness Falls items!

The Merchants have set up shop in their usual areas, so be sure to pay them a visit  and stock up before they take their leave a fortnight from now!

In Albion: Just outside of gates of Castle Sauvage in Camelot Hills
In Midgard: Just outside of Svasud Faste in the Vale of Mularn
In Hibernia: Just outside of Druim Ligen in Connacht

Notes below!

  • Speciality siege ammunition can now only be loaded and fired into level-appropriate siege engines.
    • These changes affect all siege weapon types that require ammunition: Trebuchet, Catapult, Ballista, and Palintone
    • For example, flaring greek fire siege ammunition can no longer be fired by sturdy field catapults (Thidranki) or strong field catapults (Braemar) but can be fired by tough field catapults (Wilton) and better; while the igniting greek fire siege ammunition is now the highest level greek fire that can be fired by sturdy field catapults.
    • Information-delves for each specialty siege ammunitions have been updated accordingly.
    • This fix is aimed at reducing the damage from siege in battleground zones to level-appropriate values.

Character and Guild Search Stats Downtime

The character and guild search stats (found HERE) are unable to update currently. The search function still works but no RvR, experience, or tradeskill stats will update until we implement a fix. We have that fix ready but it requires live server downtime to implement it. As such, we are planning to implement this fix when 1.118 goes live in a few short weeks to avoid taking the live servers down more than necessary. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience this causes in the meantime.

Greetings all,

With the 1.118 patch we've spent a lot of time working on not only exciting content and improvements but also on some behind-the-scenes fixes for Guilds and other systems that won't find their way into the patch notes. These fixes were necessary and will help us better reach our goals as we march onward. In addition, the notes linked below are only the first part, part A, of the entire 1.118 patch. We will be doing a second, 1.118B version in the coming weeks that will include some of our other promised features like the New Frontiers pathing improvements, as well as much more!

For now, you can read the 1.118a patch notes HERE!

Musings of a Scholar...

The following is an excerpt from “Treatise on Spiritual Residue, Spiritual Conduits, Spiritual Anchors, and Spiritual Reasoning” by Junior Scholar Anna Roversham of the Albion Academy’s History of Magic Studies Institute:

Contrary to popular folklore, ghosts do not exist. What most common folk believe is ghosts are in actuality a spiritual residue formed from the souls of those who died in a moment of great emotional turmoil (1); these residues can take many shapes and sizes creating the common forms most people tend to think of as ghosts. All spiritual residues are translucent and they will try to take on the form of the first soul that started the process. Unlike the traditional ghosts of folklore, spirits gather energy from other souls based upon the trigger for the first soul’s residual manifestation; i.e. a powerful sense of vengeance can build if more than one soul contributes to the cause that they died for, which can become a proportionally equivalent physical manifestation of that spiritual residue.

A particularly nasty physical manifestation is King Uther Pendragon. His soul and spirit were focused on unifying the land. Much of his desires were reflected in his followers and thus sprouted one of the largest mass turbulence events in history. The entire Spirit World became a reflection of Pendragon’s fury and drive. It seems his soul truly believed the land still needed unification and he did not understand that the Lyonesse he found was not the same Lyonesse back when he was alive (2).  That this was even possible creates an interesting conflict with Alain de Lille’s Theory of Spiritual Limitation (3) as related to the Avicennian understanding of Multi-Spirit Sameness (4), which shall be discussed more in depth in chapter three.

It was only through the workings of a brave group of adventurers, men and women with loose affiliations to the different guilds tasked with defending Albion, that King Uther was driven back into the Spirit World. However, it is what they found there that is the most interesting development of this entire episode.
 

1. See Merlin’s work: “Ghosts, Zombies and other children’s tales”
2. Uther visited Lyonesse several times during his reign, but did not annex the land.  See Bertrand Muskhaven’s essay “King-touched lands: An indepth history of Albion and the surrounding areas” for more details on this.
3. From Alain de Lille’s “The Theory of Spiritual Limitation”, first published in its entirety in the Journal Spiritae Naturalis.
4. Detailed in Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Abdallah ibn Sina’s ground-breaking text “One in the same: How all spiritual residue is linked”, as translated by Sir Hubrecht Delacey.

A Scouting Report...

Location: Jotunheim (Date Unknown)

I believe in the Gods. How can you not? But I never thought I’d see one. There was no mistaking Ymir as soon as he stepped from the portal. Although most Jotun look alike, Ymir is ancient and much larger. He brought with him a horde of frost and stone giants. They gained a foothold in Vanern Swamp.

How can this be? We know the stories all too well, the ones told around the feasting halls of how Odin himself slew Ymir with the help of his two younger brothers.  Ymir’s flesh created the land which we now stand upon, his bones the hills, and his blood filled the void drowning all but two of the Jotuns and remained to become the very seas and oceans we sail upon. Apparently Ymir’s essence was too powerful to extinguish and over the centuries he’s once again grown in power.  I can’t help to wonder if our own shamans knew of his return.  What plans does this ancient god have for us, revenge?  Will Ymir take back what was stolen from him?  Will the seas dry up if Ymir reclaims his blood that was spilt?  What of the flesh?  What will happen to Midgard if he succeeds?

I must focus on my mission… a small army of our kinsmen clashed with Ymir and the jotun causing him to flee back into Jotunheim. Many jotun and giants lay hewn on the battlefield but our losses were greater. His plans were disrupted and we took this chance to explore Jotunheim, but there is something eerily familiar about this place. Like I’ve been here in a dream or I’m constantly being watched. We have been here for what feels like a very long time, just trying to keep the enemy at bay. Due to the incomprehensible nature of Jotunheim, there is no day or night. In the end, I’m not sure how long we have actually been here. I think this may be my last report since everything here wants to kill us mortals. Perhaps I shall take my place at the table in Valhalla tonight.

-Arin Snowtouch

UPDATE 5:05pm EST: Pendragon is now back online. 1.118b patch notes can be found HERE!

The Pendragon server will be coming down today, June 25th, at 2pm EST / 7pm GMT, for an update.

The test server should be back online by 6:30pm EST / 11:30pm GMT.

Don't forget we also have a Live Dev Q & A at 7pm EST tonight to discuss the Otherworlds Campaign as well as 1.118b's changes. The stream will be accessible HERE!

Want to hop over to Pendragon to help test? Read the Pendragon Character Copy FAQ! Also, we highly recommend creating a separate game directory when testing Pendragon as patching between Live and Test servers will sometimes result in file discrepencies. If you do run across any issues when patching back to live, try deleting the mft.myp file in your game's directory and running the patcher again.
