Greetings Salemites,
This patch contains the lion share of the expedition code and as such the servers will remain down for another 30 minutes to an hour to backup their current state in the event everything goes to hell. I also have a fair bit of small changes in this patch pushed live to Providence so that I can count this as your weekly patch . As for next weeks patch, the Expedition will have to due. This means that my target for the next soonest 'content' patch would be January 6th but with the new year even that might be a small challenge. Either way I'm sure we will have plenty of small fixes and general updates around the Launch to keep you guys satisfied.
New Exploration Event
The Greenwood now has its own unique exploration event! Go and check it out its one of my favorites!
New Trade Orders
HIs Majesty has a new Trade Order!
Salvage Change
*Players may now only salvage things they know how to build.
Witchcraft Changes
*Level 7 Incantations now require twice the materials.
*Sapping Authority from claimstones and town bells now requires that the player be offline for 2 additional days and must be done in the subsequent season after a bloodmoon.
Oil Press Changes
The Expedition came with a basket press. And as such it required me to dabble in oilpress code. This may have some unintended complications with your presses. One of which is it may seem like you lost some of your items. But you did not. Just 'scrollwheel' them out. They are still there just might not be visible.
*Existing Presses are now known as oil presses.
*Oil Presses now repair with stone.
*Oil presses blueprints have been changed slightly.
*Oil Press Inventory has been changed.
*Oil Press is now slower.
*Oil Presses now have a unique sound effect when used.
*Oil Presses now use the Stir Animation. Players encouraged to bug Marp if they want a unique animation.
Bugfixes & Misc.
*BUGFIX: Trying to char an unattuned doll will instead have it engulfed in flames.
*BUGFIX: Rattler Poison is now effective on players again.
*Yule Logs have an additional use.
*Serums can now be added to Physician Bags
*Suppositories can now be added to Physician Bags.
*Curious Potato now acts as a potato restore.
In the Works
