Release 44 Instructions

What worries me about this is how easy it is to steal. You walk up to a vendor and are just trying to interact, when you accidentally grab something off the counter.

It'd be like if you extend your hand out to shake someone's hand, but accidentally steal their wallet instead.

 

I'll see about taking a close-up of it!

 

@DarkStarr can you guys add doors to the Shogun Row Houses. With the Rental System in place, it's a waste not able to rent the rooms. Thank you for the awesome update.

 

I agree been killing stuff (5 skulls) for 4 hours now even got an artifact but still no loot bundle.... i asked around on people who got some and when they opened em...Onion ...apples ...whats so special about onion and apples to make em drop so rarely .

 

They are no-sell, no-trade. You have to finish each Path of Virtue quest line to obtain one. Each use will require a reagant which is rare, can only be obtained after the first at a Titan Colossus (which are not trivial to access) and will come at a cost.

 

They are a bit rare, but not too rare. I got a gray bundle off of an elf and it was... wheat bun, onion, mushroom, and one other food I can't remember. I guess it was his (her?) lunch.

I have been told that the contents are generated at time of use, so you can sell them unopened on a vendor as a sort of "grab bag".

 

I agree. How does this really make up for them taking the halberds and lowering the prices on things like longbows? The economy is tanked in the game now. Non-crafters do not have the gold to buy gear and the crafters don't have the gold to buy fuels and don't sell the things they craft. With so many players leaving we need a better source of gold in this game. I know they are obsessed with keeping the gold flow down but we need more. he way it is it feels like a full time job just to keep killing or crafting.

Crafters don't care that combat guys can kill and make more that way than us because they buy our gear and combat guys don't mind paying us what our items are worth since they would be making more than enough. We need something to farm that will bring this economy back.

 

There are two sides on this coin

 

Did the hafted axes get increased from 50 to 110 with R44? I noticed a bit of a bump, but I can't recall what their value was before.

Havn't seen a bundle yet, but they sound great. Hoping they move a bit more common.

 

I'm assuming this is the short sword:



I hate to be the one that brings this up, but... those are not SotA runes. We've already seen the runes that SotA will be using, and several of these are not part of that system.



This is apparently written in expanded Younger Futhark, and from what I can see does not spell out "Courageous" but something like "Nathilfoblatis"; in any event, there are fourteen characters rather than the ten that there should be.

Is this screenshot an unaltered asset? I love the look of the sword, but I'd really like to make sure the runic is actually our runic.

EDIT: Just in case you need it... Sir Frank's chiseled version of the runic font might make it easier to modify. Both Dame Lori and Sir Frank gave us permission to host their runic font files over on the Digital Lycaeum.

 

It will be fixed in a patch.

 

I just want a quiver as a normal item... as a ranger, I'd rather have a quiver on my back than a cape any day! Guess I'll have to watch for someone to buy this set and sell it off in pieces... can't see my way to buying a full set of armor just for the quiver...

 

There will be other versions available, including a crafted one. Probably next release.

 

Now we're talking!!

 

I think you've just named my next sword.

 

I've killed 10 trolls between the overland encounters, ruined keep, and nightshade pass since yesterday and the best drop i got was an emerald, no joke. Everything else was fragments and repair kits. Seriously...where is that mid-level loot increase we keep hearing about? Oh and not 1 supply drop. Am i doing something that lowers my odds?

 

Store item now has the quiver noted on the back! See here:

@Berek, @DarkStarr,

don't know who is the right person to say this and if it is known yet:
On the above shown map of New Britannia - Novia - I missed Soltwon.
Soltown is wrong placed to the west of Celestis -
it is east of Solania

Was this the easter egg to find in this R - and what's the prize for it?

 

@DarkStarr and @Berek it's a little late but it just came to my mind:
Will the Shogun Ship and the Pavilion be at the Shogun CotO vendor?
And the viking walls at the viking vendor?
And will the Shogun walls be added to the Shogun vendor as well ?

 

Umm, that incorrectly labeled map has been the same one used for release instructions since R29.
