Camelot Patch Notes

Straight from the Camelot Herald:

===================================

Dark Age of Camelot

Test Version 1.69g Release Notes

March 23, 2004

===================================

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

– Fixed a bug with the Battlewarder master ability. Convokers should now be able to cast the Battlewarder to their area of choice regardless of whether or not they have line of sight (For example, a caster in the courtyard during a keep defense will now be able to summon a battlewarder on the outside of the keep door to deter attackers). The battlewarder has also had its level and rate of attack increased.

– (Pendragon Only) We have re-enabled focus shell spells on Pendragon for the Druid, Shaman, and Cleric classes.

– (Pendragon Only) Absorption buffs no longer give any benefit while the player also has a focus shell up.

– (Pendragon Only) Focus shell spells now remove correctly from the target when removed by the caster’s breaking focus.

TRADESKILL UPDATES

– (Pendragon Only) The Midgard 800 Weaponcrafting quest has had one of its requirements changed. Players can now hand in the adamantium heavy bladed moon claw to continue the quest.

– (Pendragon Only) Players who were receiving the wrong items for the Hib 800 Armorcrafting tradeskill quest should return to Dunstan in Tir na Nog and try the quest again. He will now properly reward those who successfully complete his requests.

CAMELOT CLASSIC WORLD NOTES

Midgard Quests

– Lover’s Circle – Quest Journalists will no longer remove this quest from players’ completed quest list. Players over level 25 may once again obtain this quest.

Item Notes

– In some cases, the salvage values of stackable common loot were set incorrectly, so that it was impossible to get a salvage return. This has been corrected for all realms.

TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES

Monsters

– The gorgon lifesapper, guardian, spellsmith, prowler, keeper, dismantler, high warrior, and the grotesque gorgon are now all classified as female.

– Naxos wave-riders now use duration based buffs instead of concentration buffs. This change will allow players to remove a buff cast on them by a charmed Naxos.

Unique Object Generator Changes

– Removed the old power bonus from all unique object templates.

– Reduced the chance of piety, intelligence, empathy, and charisma to the same level as other stat chances for Atlantis unique object templates.
