Game Development: Wells Go Far

[jorb]

We've been developing, and here's what's new

New Vendor
Seamstresses will shortly after the restart arrive in the colonies peddling a few nice things.

Well
Prospect using a Woo Woo Wand, and you can find well points. Wells can be built upon them.

Herbs in Mordor
Now become progressively rarer the farther out you get.

A reward!
Players who have been logged in during the past week have been given some free snuff!

Enjoy!

EDIT: In case you're wondering what we are actually up to at the moment, the answer is that we are rethinking and working on more meaningful alchemy mechanics.

Good evening,

The new shop contains the clothing previously available around Thanksgiving, including the much-sought Chain. Additionally, an interesting item that can add an additional socket to a piece of clothing:



(Price on Chain adjusted from 350s to 10,000s apparently)

The wells are 0% purity, but loftar stated in IRC that this will likely change in the future. Below is a picture of the new vendor and chair (right, chair circled in yellow) and new wells (west), which costs:
-30 Stone
-8 Dry Boards
-2 Ropes
-1 Bucket


To use the well, right click a bucket on the well, and wait for the (somewhat lengthy) animation to finish. Wells are indestructible, just like mine entrances.

Apparently, the new thread chair is a thing.

Faithfully,

-Paul the Paymaster

thanks!

Decorative Lace:
Works the same as other socket items with a %chance to add 2 sockets to your clothing. It can not be used to repair broken sockets and works the same as others in that only one can be put in each piece of clothing.

New additions to the silk NPC. The Good Cheer clothing from the cash shop has made a return.

Legendary thread is a chair that can be placed in the game world and sat on.

There are now wells in Boston which are for decoration but are also functional. There appears to be some clipping with its graphic so far.

Just like mines, wells cannot be destroyed upon creation.

Wells do not yet have a purity

LOL

Time to get 1,000 biles..

Poor new players

[Viackura]

wait what herbs exactly, indian feathers?

[qbradq]

Herbs get rarer the farther out you are? Does that mean less herbs or more rare herbs? Also, thank you for wells! But I'm still not sure why you have to have leather to make a Woo Woo Wand. A real dousing rod is literally a stick. Just a stick. And you don't need to kill three deer to get it

[Chillingbear]

I take it that that whole herbs in mordor is saying that the further in the darkness you go the less herbal life you will find?
