World Changes

The Resource System Shadowbane will be unveiling the first phase of its long awaited "Resource System". This system will be tied to each zone which will offer a resource type. Currently, the only resource in Phase One is gold but further phases may include additional resources such as wood, metals, and ores. It is designed to add smaller, auxiliary points of conflict for players to fight over. These areas will become highly contested points of interest and will have the opportunity to change hands at least once a day. In Phase One, once conquered, gold mines will drop gold into warehouses in their cities on an hourly basis. This gold will, in turn, be used to automatically pay maintenance cost of those structures that were given access to the warehouse and are protected by the Runemaster. Additional resources and augmentations will be introduced as the system is fully implemented allowing players to upgrade existing and new assets with functions and abilities to be announced. Furthermore after Phase One is completed, during a siege, the warehouse inventory can be recovered or stolen by anyone. This system will allow nations to focus efforts more on the political and combat faces of the scene and not the maintenance and upkeep of cities. Phase One of the Resource System has been implemented and most adventuring areas now contain a "mine" Added a new adventuring zone in the desert with the Epic Encounter containing Shuggroth M'ael

City & Siege

Banes may only occur during specified times of the day. Like mine windows, the defender chooses a time between two bounds (currently, the same times as mines). If the defender doesn't choose a time, the closest bound is chosen for them. Guild and nation leaders may set a message of the day for their members.

Removed all methods of dropping items; Now dragging and dropping items onto the world will prompt the user if he wants to destroy the item or not.

Using a potion while sitting should no longer make your character stand up. Added "Glass Weapons" to the Hot Zone and Epic Mob creature loot. Fixed a pet exploit. Fixed a flight exploit PvP Experience Gains Only Characters that are Level 40 or above can grant or gain experience from PvP combat. Players in the same Nation or Guild will not yield experience gains. While killing an errant character may yield experience, errant players themselves gain none from PvP combat. Characters who have a Deathshroud effect prior to being killed will grant no experience gains. If a player has been killed in the last 60 minutes by the same individual, they will yield no experience; this is for testing purposes only and will be increased during the course of testing. Hot Zones will yield double experience gains during PvP combat. If the character being rewarded is too far above the other one, though, experience gains will be minimal and could be even zero (0). If the other character is too far above the rewarded characterÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s level, the gains will be capped.

City & Siege

Banestone hitpoints have been slightly increased. Added the Battlefield Alliances system. Battlefield Alliances allow guild leaders and inner council members to specify other nations as "allies" or "enemies." When you encounter members of ally and enemy guilds, they'll be explicitly marked as so, so it's easier to tell who to kill. There may be future benefits as well... To view a list of ally and enemy nations, as well as a list of recommended nations, use the new "Battlefield Alliances" option under your guild menu. To add a nation as an ally or enemy, a guild member must target a character from the nation he or she'd like to add, and either type "/recommend", select "Recommend" from the Target Context Window, or select "Recommend" from the Guild menu. The Guild Leader and Inner Council members can accept or deny the recommendation from a third tab on the Battlefield Alliances Interface. Once a nation is flagged as an ally or enemy, their status cannot be changed for at least another six (6) hours. When a Nation is added as either an Ally or Enemy, a message is sent to both the the Guild *Channel (who added them as an Ally or Enemy) and to the Nation Channel for the Nation that was just added to the list. Adding a Nation to the Battlefield Alliance list is not reciprocal; while Guild A may have Nation X as their enemy, Nation X can label Guild A as their Ally. When a Nation is added to Battlefield Alliance list, their members will have a new designator under their name (either Ally or Enemy) and their name will be color coded in the game-world (red for Enemy, Blue for Ally); this does not alter the color of their name in the Selection Window that identifies their threat level.

Class Changes

The Confessor power Fortress of Faith's skill prerequisite has been changed from 115% Benediction to 115% Thaumaturgy. The Confessor power Uvoriel's Judgement's casting time was reduced to 4 seconds. The Confessor power Purgation's casting time was reduced to 4 seconds. The Confessor power Sanction of the Temple's casting time was reduced to 2.5 seconds. The Fury class's persistent area of effect powers, Call the Blizzard and Call Storm, have had their recast timers halved to 30 seconds. The Fury power Dampen Rage is now instant cast, while its recast timer is now 35 seconds. The Fury power Evil Eye is now instant cast, while its recast timer is now 5 seconds. The Fury power Inflict Poison now not only inflicts poison, but a new, minor stamina drain. For dispel purposes, the Wizard power Sign of Sorthoth's damage component is now flagged as "magic." In other words, you can now dispel it with any power that dispels "magic" effects.

Discipline Changes

The Strigoi power Feral Fury's wear off string should now correctly report the caster's name.

===Patch 11===

Centaur, Dwarven, and Human weapon vendors can now add the Holy Proc Effects to weapons. Elven, Nephilim, and Shade weapon vendors can now add the Unholy Proc Effects to weapons. Implemented Siege Effects that buff the attacking and defending Nations during the War Phase of a siege with increased attack ratings, power and melee damage, and hit points. Siege Effects have extended to the allies of both the attacking and enemy Nations.

Class Changes

When a Rogue casts Hide or Sneak, any creatures or guards will forget about them and not try to attack them while hidden.

General Changes

Implemented a Kill List that works like the Death List but shows whom you have recently killed. Fixed an exploit where players could "Use" items in their banks or while peeking (for Thieves) which would not consume the item used Lists will no longer reset to the top; for example when selecting a Trait in Character Creation, the list will not scroll to the top any longer. Login Errors are more explanatory. Added a toggle for turning on and off timestamps for chat messages; this can be turned on and off in the Chat Windows Properties menu. Fixed an issue where players could still target other players when they have stealthed. Fixed a server crash issue. When specific items in the world are placed in a creature's inventory, the creature's name and zone will be broadcast to the world.

World Changes

Sea Dog's Rest has a new Vault Keeper that will allow you to not only store items in it like a bank, but allows all characters on your account (that reside on this server) to access anything put in there Sea Dog's Rest has a new Gambler who will sell you packages of certain types; some items are top grade... some are not. The Gambler, also known as Fate's Peddler, has packages for every weapon and armor type, one for Runes, and one for City Improvements. However, she only sells some of those packages at a time and this list is changed after every server reboot. For every weapon and armor package, you have a very high change of receiving low-end items, a small chance of receiving an item with high stats or baked in enchantments (such as the Vorgrim items), and a small chance of receiving a 110% weapon with high-end enchantments. Runes and Deeds work the same way, the most desirable items have a smaller chance of being obtained.
