SEPTEMBER Patch Warnings

[Sipo]

*Pots, Fields, and any other structure that we consider needing Aether values will have those values 'grow' with the character. I.E. a pot is not pure based on the materials that made the pot, rather the quantity of purity goods that have been harvested from the pot. Therefore, the purity on these things changes over time and is not static upon build completion.

Will we be able to see the current purity of the pot?

It was confirmed in some other thread that it will be possible

*Food & Tools only care about the Aether value element. The rest of the elements it does not.

Tools, as of this upcoming patch already? Interesting >.> Tell us moar!

Edit: Aditional questions in case any of them is worthy of an answer. When you say spawns will have 0% aether, is that plants, minerals, animals and fishies as well? How about water? Will our water spots stay intact? :O not that they'll be of any use anymore.

Any hint/info on which of our existing goods will convert their max element to aether? Just to not end up with useless flour after the patch and so on.

I plan on adding new Darkness mobs.

Great now we have to deal with idiotic memes in the game.

Oh boy - so much for pvp arson making it nearly impossible to destroy a base in one go.

You do realize how foolish it is to complain about systems and mechanics that have yet to be announced in detail by extracting data from unrelated patch notes and making an ASSumption?

Yes of course I do. But a portion of the fun of salem is trolling and causing general hysteria on the forums. In the future I will only do that from my sock puppet account so that I may redeem my true intellect in your eyes.

JC, is there any plans in this patch to speed up the hickory nut and birch bark growth? They seem REALLY slow since berries and maple leaves got such a boost. I'm not saying they need to be daily like berries are, but somewhat of an increase would be nice. Second thing would be pockets, I'm not asking about changing the function at all, but can we get them grouped like the backpack is? Personally I use shift + alt to move items around a lot, and individualized pockets tend to be annoying. (Yes I know about shift + roll for moving all items, but many times that's not efficient either.)

when is the patch?

[Trenial]

Later September, soon(tm).

Thank you... time to consume all the purity inspirations then...

Excellent.

Wager on new Proficiency skill buff?

MM @ 250 for 250K inspiration per point is nice... but patch indicates it'll all be moot soon what iron/copper you can locate... or inspiration of lockets, etc...

Love to see a H/G one created... tempted to start saving for such... considering JC admissions to date.

[Trenial]

H&G indeed could use a fools gold item.
