Straight from the Camelot Herald:

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

Dark Age of Camelot

1.65h Version Release Notes

October 1, 2003

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

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

– All self buffs with 15 minute durations have had their durations increased to 20 minutes.

– You can no longer /hood while dead. (Pendragon only)

– Monsters no longer have extended cast times when casting spells. (Pendragon only) (This was noticed mainly by necromancers whose pets suffered from trypanosomiasis).

– Nodrop/Notrade/Nodestroy items now display as such in delve.

– All NPC triggered teleports now should teleport players at the proper angle of arrival. This should primarily be noticed when using gatekeepers.

CLASS UPDATES

– The following AE DD lines have had their cast times reduced from 4s to 3s

Calefaction: Molten Earth line
Liquefaction: Simmering Cloud line
Pyromancy: Explosive Blast line
Runes of Darkness: Raven Drove line
Runes of Suppression: Field of Suppression line
Runes of Destruction: Odin’s Ire line
Illusions: Deluge of Illusion
Vacuumancy: Lesser Kinetic Dispersal
Void Mastery: Lesser Null Squall

– The Minor Vitality Drain line in the Sorcerer/Cabalist Body Destruction list has had its damage increased slightly.

Savage

– Savage buffs have been halved in duration, and had their health cost halved.

– The Savage “Irreverent Gesture” line has been changed from a shout to a 2 second cast time.

– Savage buffs now subtract a percent of your maximum health, not your estimated health. Since estimated health was lower, this is an increase from what it used to be.

– We’ve toned down the damage that Savages do while wielding any weapon other than a Hand to Hand weapon (to be equivalent to Hand to Hand weapons).

Theurgist

– Added new earth summon spells in the Theurgist Abrasion list at levels 40 and 48.

– Added new ice summon spells in the Theurgist Refrigeration list at levels 32, 40, and 48.

– Reduced the hitpoints on earth elementals, but increased the duration of their summon from 30 to 60 seconds. Their offensive bonus and run speed increases with higher spec.

– Spells cast by Theurgist ice elementals have been tuned to cast faster, do more damage, and scale appropriately with level to help deal with resists.

COMBAT STYLE CHANGES

– Mjolnir’s Fury has been changed to have a medium attack bonus and no defense penalty.

– Ice Storm’s growth rate has been adjusted upward.

– Demolish has been changed to have a medium attack bonus and a medium fatigue cost.

– Raider’s growth rate has been adjusted upward and all penalties/bonuses removed.

– Poleaxe’s growth rate has been adjusted upward.

CLASSIC CAMELOT WORLD NOTES

Item Notes

– Siege weapons and their sub-components have received new models and icons.

– Many trinket items have received new icons.

– The Accursed Demon Scythe’s proc has been adjusted so as to not conflict with the effect from the Firefox style.

– (Pendragon Only) The Superior Accursed Demon Scythe’s proc has been adjusted so as to not conflict with the effect from the Firefox style.

– The Ghostly Cloak one-time drop reward can now be equipped by all three realms.

SHROUDED ISLES WORLD NOTES

Item Notes

– We have changed the few Midgard items in the game that were slower than 5.5 seconds to restrict them from Savage use. Savages who already own one of these weapons at the time of this patch will not be affected by this change. However, any weapon that has a delay slower than 5.5 seconds has been replaced in all future drops in the game with an identical version that will not allow savages to equip the new item. Please note that this restriction from Savages will not show up in delve at this time.

– Nosdoden, Myrddraxis and Xanxicar will now drop more items when slain.

– The Vinebound Bladeblocker has had its effect improved to be equivalent with other effects of the same level.

– The cloak rewards from the Writhing Death quest are now dyable and will take an emblem.

– The Moonbound Protector now has a reactive effect instead of a volatile effect.

FOUNDATIONS NOTES

– The method of teleportation for the housing teleporters have been changed. All the housing teleporters, those that can be purchased and those that are in the markeplace on Mordred and Gaheris, have been converted to the scroll method of teleportation. Players will be able to purchase a scroll from the merchant and hand it in to be teleportetd to the desired location.

COOPERATIVE SERVER

– Fixed an issue that could cause the Evil Keep Lord at Dun Crauchon to spawn more often than normal.
