Publishes:Publish 32New Players The Glass Empire - New players will now have a much easier start on Pandora and an idea of what they are doing. - New players will have the option to start at the Glass Empire when creating their character. - The Glass Empire is a new city built. It's still a work in progress, but is geared with tutorials, training elementals, and all the things they need to start easier as a player on Pandora. - Young players will now start with a 30k check. - All new characters will start with a Stat Ball - The city is up and running, but still has a lot of work to be done to it. We will add to it as we go. - Pandora has an official Entrance in the Glass Empire. - New players will have access to decent non imbuable gear for each race they can pick up from the table. - New players will no longer start with the LRC Bag in thier backpack, as the free armor on table all adds up to 100% LRC. - New players will be able to tame with 0.0 Animal Taming a Glass City Kitsune inside the Glass City. It is exactly like a dragon, but is grey in color and looks like a baked kitsune. Will take 4 slots. This will help players in the newbie dungeon. - The Glass Empire has rules just like Insula, You cannot be hurt here. - Remember the Glass City is in the making. Things will be added and adjusted as time goes. There will not be a public moongate there, use the entrance of Pandora to get to Insula. Casting Bar - These bars will show you current spell cast and how long you have to wait before the spell is ready to use. - You can change the default position of your cast bar by using the [CastBarPos command. - You can toggle the cast bar on and off by using the [CastBarToggle command. - If you have a slow connection (dial up or McDonalds WiFi), the cast bars may lag your client. - After several moments of not casting anything the casting bar will disappear. Once you cast again, it will stay there while casting, until you stop for awhile again. - This 'technology' is the start of many things we can use on Pandora in the future. "This is a global server breakthrough, PandoraUO is officially the first live server to support spell cast bars." -Vorspire Exile! - Blackthorn has been Exiled by the King. He has started another force to fight Order and Chaos. The team name is Exile. - You will notice Exile as an option in you're guild master options along with Order and Chaos. - You will get the tag [Exile] - Being Exile, Chaos and Order are Orange and attackable to you and vis versa. - This allows 3 factions, more diverse enemies. All teams can attack one another. - The Exiles unofficial base is the mansion Blackthorn sits at right next to the Primeval Lich Champion spawn.

Champions - Abyssal Infernal Champion has moved locations to where it's suppose to be. It's a big cove, cave entrance is in Stygian Abyss Dungeon near a river of lava. It's where the old crazy Abyssal spawn was, and where it's suppose to be according to UO Guide and other sites. The champ has been nerfed a lot. (compared to the one that was their previous, now it's the Abyssal spawn that moved, but just more smaller monsters. - The Abyssal Inferno Ter Mur Champion location actually used to be Felucca Rules even though the entrance was in Ter Mur. It now have a Rule set similiar to Luna or Insula, where you cannot attack players or use stealing. But you can obviously attack monsters and take damage from monsters. - Primeval Lich Champion is back, and nerfed where you can actually kill him. Go to the big mansion (where the Field PvP was on the moongate, the entrance is in Abyss.) Beware this is a Felucca Ruleset! - Primeval Lich Level Puzzle is now in. Inside the mansion near the Primeval Champion spawn, along the wall is 8 levels, 4 on both sides. If the spawn is active (you popped it with valor or it just spawned) you will be able to play the puzzle. You must pull all 8 levers in order, it will be process of elimination to see when you mess up. Once you complete it you will receive a 105, 110, 115 or 120 powerscroll in your backpack. You will not be able to play it again until you have done the spawn and killed the Primeval Lich Champion. On each spawn, 1 game can be played.

In turn there is more places to vote on website and more stones in Insula to get prizes. Remember to vote on each website around every 12 hours, type in the code when your browser pops up and CLICK, don't hit enter, to cast a vote. Remember you're vote brings new players. - This one is my bad. For the last 6 months the Frost Orc, Lord of Globes has only been dropping about 33 of the total 101 globes he is suppose to drop. LOL: Should be working now, finally you can collect all 101. - The Gumps (most windows that pop up in game, for example, the public moongate menu. have gotten a core upgrade - The Dim Background (the clear gump that takes up you're entire screen around you're window) will now automatically drop something you're holding back in you're backpack. (Some players were holding stuff and running in moongate, and having to X their client out to fix it) - All Refresh Potions (new ones made from here on out) Will have only a 5 seconds delay until you can drink another one. This is to allow Full Necro mages to counter-balance Chivs Divine Fury. - All Magery Spells will use less mana. - The Donation Box in the training room will be available to all players, not just young. - New players should stay young anywhere from 3-6 weeks if they choose too. - When the Treasure of Tokuno Stones turn Green and Red, it will be announced to the entire shard. - The Treasure of Tokuno Stones will go green a bit less time, and the chances of how long it stays green is a bit less also. - 0.0 Skill in alchemy and above can now read Glassblowing book. - 0.0 skill in mining and above can now read Sandmining book. Publish 31.6.0.1- Casting Cleanse by Fire is much faster. - Cleanse by Fire spell has a chance to cure Deadly and Parasitic Poison if you are over 100. 120 Chivalry is a 55% chance 115 Chivalry is a 45% chance 110 Chivalry is a 35% chance 105 Chivalry is a 20% chance - So you could cure first time 10 in a row, or you could fail 10 in a row. But it casts extremely fast, almost instant. - Fixed the issue with monsters not attacking players. (Might have to kill the ones now, and let new ones re-spawn) - NEW Normal Refresh potions timer has been lowered to 7 seconds. Total Refresh is still 20 seconds. To have these 7 second timers you must make new normal Refresh Potions. - How much Karma lose from Necromancy has been lowered from the patch earlier this morning (but still more than before Publish 31.6) - Upped the Raptor Claw drop on Raptors a bit - Greater Cure Potion has a 30% chance to cure Parasitic Poison - Normal Cure Potion has a 10% chance to cure Parasitic Poison - There is a small wall in the Daily PvP, add a lot of tactics for such a small space. The group this morning seemed to love it. - Strangle got a slight buff. I have some necromancy plans Publish 31.6Tweaks - No longer use Fukiya's or Shuriken's in Daily PvP. - Remove Curse cast time has been slightly lowered. - Arch Cure cast time has slightly lowered. - Paralyze and Poison field spell will take a little longer to cast. - Murderers can no longer attend the PvM Event. - When releasing your pet, it will take 1 hour for it attack anyone. Now if you attack it, it will fight back though. This is to prevent people from releasing pets on new players to kill them. - Silver Serpent Venom drop rate has increased. About 1 out of 30 silver serpents will drop it. - Added Gargoyle Flag to Glassblowing, decorative menu. - Added Sandy Floor to Glassblowing, decorative menu. Like the Oceanic Floors you can buy, this one you make with sand and is the Old Bananna Tokuno Pigment color. - Oceanic Prices returned to somewhat normal. Ill keep an eye on this and lower when needed. - Added the Pandorian Ten Karat diamond to the Treasure Map artifact list (along with Polar Bear Mask, etc) This is the 1st step in completely the Sherlock quest in Bucs Den Felucca to get to 120 Lockpicking. It should drop much more often than it was now. Necromancer - When casting Necromancy it will take away more Karma from you than it did before. (It barley took any at all, and karma is easy to gain on Pandora, but this will start to seperate the Chivalry Warrior and the Necromancer a bit more, though you can still be both if you keep your karma up) Chivalry - The karma scale has increased slightly. Higher karma equals better results with most Chivalry spells. It works just like it does now, but you will want a bit more karma, Higher the karma, better the buffs/damages. Each spell is a bit different. - Remove Curse succuss chance has changed. To find out your chances, take your karma divided by 100 and you will get your succuss chance. So 10000 or more karma you will always succueed. So say you have 5000 karma. 5000 divided by 100 = 50. So you have a 50% succuss rate. - With negative Karma, you will not be able to cast Chivalry. You would just about fail everytime with negative Karma anyways. But this will apply to training also. You will need at least 0 karma to cast a Chivalry spell. Again this will make you keep your karma up if you want to use both Necromancy and Chivalry. Karma has not changed though, it's extremely easy to build it up. - Fixed a bug where Lower Regant Cost was counting for Tithing points, when really it has nothing to do with regs. Imbuing Drops OK, Collecting Imbuing mats got easier. Sorry, had to wait for market numbers. - Imbuing Mini Champ bosses, all have a 80% chance to drop their relevant Imbuing Material(s). This means about 4 out of 5 you kill will drop mats as opposed to the previous 4 out of 5 not dropping mats. This means you might kill 20 in a row and get mats each time, or might kill 2 in a row and not get any. - Also at the time of the bosses death, there is a 50/50 chance of getting 1 mat or 2 mats as opposed to 0 or 1. - Bottom Line? This will pretty much (80% of the time) be guarenteed reward for your work, instead of hunting for hours and coming up with nothing. Mini Champs are the best ways to get Imbuing mats, and in a small group, although many players can solo them. Sorry I did not introduce this earlier, but I needed the market to level it's self out. The following mini champ bosses are in Stygian Abyss dungeon, Ter Mur, will have a 80% chance of dropping 1 or 2 of EACH Imbuing Mat they hold, Each time it dies... (Some champs carrying 8 different mats, so that means you can get 2 of each, 16 imbuing mats, on 1 kill, yes you heard me!) Most of the monsters leading up to fighting these bosses have chances to drop them too remember. Complete Imbuing Mat Location List: http://www.pandorauo.com/wiki/index.php?n=TrainingRoom.ImbuingMatsLocations Devour of Souls: Essence of Achievment Green Goblin Alchemest Renowned: Essence of Control and Goblin Blood Gray Goblin Mage Renowned: Essence of Control and Goblin Blood Skeletal Dragon Renowned: Essence of Persistence and Undying Flesh Ancient Lich Renowned: Essence of Direction and Undying Flesh Acid Elemental Renowned: Essence of Singularity Fire Daemon Renowned: Essence of Order, Essence of Passion, Daemon Claw, Lava Serpent Crust.

Pixie Renowned: Essence of Feeling, Fairy Dust Wyvern Renowned: Essence of Diligence, Fairy Dust. - Void Orbs on Korpre drop has raised again, much more. - Korpre's will deadly poison you as opposed to regular poison. - Silver Snake Skin drop rate has increased dramatically. (still have to kill them awhile) But if they do drop a snake skin, there is a 50/50 shot at that moment it will give you 2 instead of 1 also. Publish 31.5Vote - Remember to vote around every 12 hours folks. Some of the websites have been blocking votes coming from in game (Vote stones in Insula). I want you guys to still get the prizes so that is OK, but if you have an extra minute please click Vote! On your tool bar at the top and vote on each of the sites. Your votes bring more players. Random Tweaks - New Player Dungeon is now filled with more Imbuing mat dropping monsters than regular ones. This will give players (if they have read about Imbuing, and do their research while training) an easier chance to get Imbuing materials to sell to others to make gold. - The Player vs Player Spell Damage Increase cap has went from 15% to 25%. It's still 100% for Player vs Monster - Making Parasitic Potions is harder, there is a chance of failing. (It's comparable to making Deadly Poison) - Smoke Bombs in Alchemy is easier to make. - Parasitic Poison can not be cured by a potion. Arch cure will cure it fine. Normal cure will cure it on average 1 out of 5 at random. Glass Baby - Gargish Artifact Glasses will take head slot now as opposed to ears. (Hunters, Insight, Harrower, Magi) - All Glasses, Gargoyle and Regular are now repaired with Glassblowing, not tinkering. - You can now create Gargoyle Glasses and Elven Glasses using Glassblowing.

Still the toughest Champion spawn. He will always drop Between; 2-4 Enchanted Essence, 2-4 Relic Fragments, 1-3 Rough Stones, 1-2 Void Orbs. - Wisps have been weakened, due to them being in Champion spawns also. - Pixies have been weakened, due to them being in Champion spawns also. - Stygian Dragon has been nerfed.

All Materials now weigh 1 stone each. - You will get less Magical Residue from unraveling, as it was giving much more than needed. - Silver Serpent Venom will be easier to get when killing Silver Serpents - Silver Snake Skin will drop more off of Silver Serpents - Faery Dust drop rate has been increased a bit on Pixies and Wyvern Renowned. - Raptor Teeth will drop more from Raptors. - Sliths have a little more hit points, but just as easy. - Poseidon's Limbs will drop 4-5 Oceanic Coins, instead of 1 or 2 Ranged Weapons - Gargoyle Throwing will scale better in damage and match compared to all Human and Elf ranged weapons. Pretty much means Throwing weapons will do more base damage and the speed they go at will match Human / Elf Ranged Weapons.
Weapon Abilities - Weapon Ability Mortal Wound will last a bit less time on both players and monsters. - Weapon Ability Shadow Strike will do more damage, but will cost more mana. Must have at least 80 Stealth to do it. (Tip, Imbuing Weapon Damage Increase on it, You're in Business) - Weapon Ability Paralyzing Blow will paralyze taget for longer, use a little more mana. - Crushing Blow will use a little more mana. - Armor Ignore will do more base damage - Gargoyle Throwing Weapon Ability, Infused Throw will use much more mana as it dismounts / stuns the target.

Click the green buttons next to each one to edit it. If you want to minimize it or fully close it, just click on Pandora Toolbar and you have options. Note* that if you keep it minimized it will stay like that when you log back in. If you exit it fully, it will come back up when you log in, or you can type [toolbar to bring it back up. Tweaks Couple of tweaks as we slowly balance everything out. (remember tweaks sometimes I are not final) Folks also keep in mind, there will be a lot of tweaks within the next month. If something is off, don't worry we will fix it. - Poison spell is about .10th of a second faster, which makes it .10th of a second faster than Cure spell. - Arch Cure will take a tiny longer to cast. - 1st Level Heal Spell will heal less. No other changes made with it. It will still cast extremely fast. - Ability double shot will take much more mana, as it's a very high damage ability and should be thought about before using. - White Wyrms have been fixed, all of them were deleted off shard as they would have bugged out for you. They also got a buff, they can range from 400 str to 1000 Hit Points -- Tame a good one! - Polar Bears are tamable again (after newly spawned ones are killed). They take 3 slots, and are actually quite a nice pet for taming skill at 35.1 - Gargoyle throwing abilities work again.

'Finding Glass-Quality Sand' and 'Crafting Glass With Glassblowing'. These can only be purchased from the Glassblower in Ver Lor Reg. You only have to buy them once and you have learned how to glassblow and how to mine sand, forever. - You can now mine sand again. To dig up sand, simply double click a pick axe or shovel and target sand, along water coasts is a good bet. You will mine more sand in Felucca than Trammel. You can start mining sand when you have 100.0 mining. (But you must buy the book first) - Sand for Glassblowing, besides mining, can now be gotten from Sand Vortexs & Sand Crabs. (Outside the Ver Lor Reg's entrance is a great spot for these) - Sand is weightless - Empty Bottles will no longer be sold by NPC's. You must use Glassblowing to make them, only takes 1 piece of sand. You also do not have to make them 1 by 1. Example: You simply can throw 400 sand in your backpack, click one button, will make 400 empty bottles. - When you drink potions now, instead of it returning to an empty bottle, it will delete it's self. - You can now make Ter-Mur style mirrors with glassblowing. - You can now make Glass Fukiya and Glass Darts with glassblowing. These are like normal Fukiya's but you can shoot your enemy farther away, almost double, and they will also do a bit of damage for a nice kill shot. - This is the start of glassblowing, I plan on adding much more to the future. Magery Changes Better PVP Keep in mind, these time changes are very small, but can make a big difference. - Poison spell will take about .5 seconds longer to cast - Harm spell will take about .5 seconds longer to cast - Lighting got a small buff - Fireball spell will take about .6 seconds longer to cast - Flamestrike got a small buff. - 8th Circle spells takes longer to cast, but got buffed. - All 8th circle summoner monsters have about 5x the hit points they did before. - Energy Vortex has a better shot at turning into a purple llama and is stronger. - All potions now have a 20 second delay between each time you drink one. - Metoer Storm takes a bit longer to cast but does more damage - Mirror Image will take more mana and bit longer to cast - Vengful Spirit, the Revenant will be stronger and last longer as long as your have high in necromancy and spirit speak skills. - Blood oath will take slightly longer to cast but will last a bit longer - Divine fury will uses a bit more mana, casting speed has slightly changed, but still feasable. 120 Lockpicking Quest! - There is now a quest you can take to get to 120 lockpicking. - See 'Sherlock the Master Locksmith' in Buccaners Den in Felucca. He will give you your first step. - This quest will take you some time, depending, but it is the only way to get to 120 lockpicking on Pandora and to open level 7 treasure chests, which we are upgrading very soon. - Keep note, that whatever character you start your quest on is the one that will receive the 120.0 skill lockpicking.

They are the protectors of Ter Mur. - Niporailem the Thief in Ter Mur's Tomb of Kings drops jewels/gems. (He's only thing besides Elementals and Treasure Chests) - Krakens now drop between 1 to 5 Oceanic Coins. Randomly. But around 100 more Kraken spawns added to world, using a sea horse is the best way to find them. - Around 500 more Sea/Oceanic monster spawns have been added all over Pandora. All of them will drop Oceanic Coins. - Oceanic items prices have risen, but the more spawns and Kraken drops more than make up for it. The prices will adjust to lower prices within the next couple of days. - Abyssal Infernal has been nerfed/weakened. The champ is now active in Ter Mur's Abyss dungeon. He is still hard, and you will need several of you. But gives powerscrolls, a lot of gold, chance of Relic Fragment(s). This is the only Champion, Powerscroll spawn in Trammel. PK Free. - Added another rare Ice Steed spawn in Ilshenar. - Bolas got a upgrade/tweak depending on how you look at it... * Bolas now weigh 47 stones each. (This will prevent carrying 20 on you) ** After throwing a bola and hitting a player with it, you will have to wait 1 minute to be able to throw another, as they are heavy and your arms get tired. *** The messages during bolaing have changed in text and color. - Neria Champion had a bug where she was too easy to kill. This has been fixed. - Added the new Treasure Chest artifacts to Revamped Artifact Room. - Pandora Coins, Oceanic Coins, Pandora Bucks, and Sand are completely weightless - Added the Gargoyle city 'Ver Lor Reg' to Ilshenar moonglow, along with other ones.

It looks fantastic and should get more players on Pandora. (As long as you guys keep voting, that means typing in code when your browser opens) Check the new website out http://www.pandorauo.com/ Also Vorspire made some updates to the Mibbit IRC chat client, should no longer looked squished, etc to some of you who had that problem. Also it can go full screen and looks very, very nice. Go to home page, click the circle next to the Ventrilo icon and click Recommend. Dead Love Baby Remember the Valentine Event is still going on. Read more info about it in Publish 31.1 notes. Can't thou find Cupid's love? TER MUR MINI-CHAMPS --- Imbuing Mats! As you guys know, we are getting a hold of Imbuing. That starts with the Imbuing Materials or 'Mats'. Like the last patch, monsters will drop these materials less, sometimes a lot less, depending on what your used to. No worries though. -- As Imbuing is going to be more challenging in some areas, there is more positive that will come out of it. All of the Mini-Champs in Ter Mur's Abyss Dungeon have been re-done. These are great places to farm monsters and try and collect Imbuing materials, but when you get to the boss, you better have some friends with you. This will create group PvM, really what UO always wanted to do. Let's get back to our roots! Around Abyss Dungeon each Mini-Champ location is marked with a statue of the Boss on a pedistal. You must kill all the monsters around that statue until you get to the boss. Now, these bosses have gotten a pretty big buff. Feel free to farm the champ until the boss, to try and get some Imbuing resources, but to fight the boss you will need some friends. Now the catch is, these bosses have by far, mathmatically, a better chance of dropping mats. Now I do know this is going to take some time to get used to, as it is going to be much different than what your used to now. (Spoiled Pandorians) The economy, and prices on all mats will sky rocket. It will take longer to build a suit if you sit around and do nothing, but that's kind of the point. Were looking at Pandora for the long haul, we plan on being online for many, many years to come and slowing Imbuing down will be really the fuel on the fire. This also will help newer players tremendously. HUH? -- 90% of the monsters that drop Imbuing resources are very easy to medium in difficulty. You really could create a brand new character, throw your LRC suit on, and go kill at least half of them. This will be a great way for newer players to hunt easy monsters, collect Imbuing Resources and Gems and sell to the older players for a good amount of money, as the older players will more than likely not want to farm. A smart player who is brand new I believe could be very rich in a couple weeks if they did it right. For Example) Only Elementals drop certain important jewels for Imbuing. Things like Earth Elementals, Water, etc. Shame, Trammel and Felucca are littered with them. A young player, with not even a pet could go through that dungeon and start collecting and sell for quite a bit. This has been thought about long and hard, and the positives out weigh the negatives by a long shot. Player's will take more pride in what they make, they will stay on Pandora longer as there is always a goal, and the new players have a single answer on how to build up their wealth. -- Take note I will be adjusting drop rates, etc as time goes, so no one freak out. But as most of you know, some Mats were not even worth anything. I mean such a great system and some of it's worthless? No. Having a perfect Imbued suit (which is subjective) is kind of a end-game goal. We need to make that end-game longer. -- I know some of you, who really are not looking at the big picture yet, will be like 'Won't this make a huge gap between the new and old players?' -- Isn't there already one? Let's take ANY game for example... OK World of Warcraft (ugh) -- You start level 1, are going to roll with the level 80's for awhile? No. It's just not how games work. Especially UO. Fishing and Treasure Upgrades I been wanting to upgrade Fishing for a long time, the following is just opening a door, more will be added to Fishing, etc later on ---------- - Special Fishing Net, Treasure Map, Message in a Bottle (SoS) and Oceanic Coins will now be much easier to fish up at random. - Kraken's are getting an upgrade. -- They will be quite a bit stronger, they will be Tokuno color Marina Blue. --- They will have a much better loot pack with more random items, also a much better chance of having a message in a bottle. They will have 15 Oceanic Coins on their corpse always. Kraken's will also have a chance to drop a level 6 and 7 treasure maps. - Remember Corgul the Soulbinder, Scalis the Enforcer, Virturebane all drop level 7s with relics and more. - Heart of Lion got a major upgrade and is Imbuable and Tokuno Dyable (But it might already be dyed a tokuno color) - 'Polar Bear Mask' will now be known as 'Mask of the Pandorian Polar Bear' - Huge upgrade. Some would say... Totem's little brother. Imbuable, Tokuno Dyable. - Dread Pirate Hat has been upgraded to 'Pandorian Pirate Hat!' - What you know about 20 Dex? Imbuable, Tokuno Dyable. (Dyed already a cool pigment) - Cold Blood has been upgraded to 'Frozen Blood of the Fallen Pandorian!" - Forget Archery? Water Speckled Dyed, Imbuable, Tokuno Dyable. SLICE AND DICE BABY! (Gargoyle's can equip it also) - The new Polar Bear Mask, Dread Pirate Hat, and Cold Blood can be gotten from Treasure Chests just like normal. But here's the catch. There is a chance you can still get the old Polar Bear Mask, Dread Pirate Hat and Cold Blood. Ha! Tweaks - You will notice some monsters, mostly the mini-champ bosses are different colors. (Love those new Tokuno hues) - More spawn for Imbuing Mat Monsters in Ter Mur's Underworld, Abyss, and Tomb of Kings. - Mini-Champ Bosses are much stronger. - Some random monsters got a bit of a hit point upgrade. - Abyssal Inferno, a NO PK ZONE CHAMPION WITH POWERSCROLLS! Now he has a TON of hit points. But he is a Champion, inside Abyss (Trammel). You only have to kill a couple waves of some easy mobs to fight him. You will get to him much faster than doing a normal Champion. Also it's in Trammel, the only one. This will give younger or non pvp players a way to Champ and get Powerscrolls with no PK Risk. Please keep note though, that he is tough, you will want to have a group. But the nice thing is, after he dies you can do it again right away. This will be great for a decent size guild of newer players to farm at to get powerscrolls. (He also has a chance to drop Relic Fragments and other goods) - All Mini Champs have been redone and shouldn't bug out. If there is only a couple monsters around the statues, well someone didn't finish it, so start killing. Allow around 1 minute between each new wave of monsters. (It might seem that they are acting weird, but they can be left, and picked up anytime. Kill any monsters around statue and wait a minute or so. If you do think it's bugged please PM me in IRC chat) - Put a exit gate in Medusa's Lair. - Getting Gems from Mining will be tougher. This will go back up once it balances. - Getting Mats from Lumberjacking will be tougher. This will go back up once it balances. - Miasma got a buff. - Slasher of Veils now drops Relic Fragments, other Imbuing Mats, lots of Pandora and Oceanic Coins, with better loot all around. - Added a lot more Oceanic Monsters like Sea Spider and Southern Dolphin to the Rivers, work in progress. (Just loaded the river North of Insula this morning) - Fixed a bug where people weren't fishing up Big Fish. - Ankh Dungeon, the new Tokuno ToT dungeon, has gotten a lot more monsters. - Island of Soulbinding (Where Corgul is, South of Port of Sea Horse) spawn has been tamed down, so you can focus on killing Corgul himself. (Also keep in mind, there is a lot of open water around that Island, grab a sea horse, good hunting grounds) - Vorspire has cleaned up all the scripts a lot, making Pandora an even more well oiled machine. - Added a couple of cool rares that will spawn at random inside the Maze near Skara Brae. They will be deco, and look like they will fit right in. Sharp eye sniper. - I want to thank you guys for literally taking over my Ter Mur Lava Pit with your houses. There are just too many to destoy now... Ya live and ya learn. Publish 31.1Remember, Join Global Chat Join the official new global chat! Talk real time with other Pandorians, general and trade chats! Connect_Here! Simply click the link and you will be at the log in screen, if having trouble use PJirc on PandoraUO.com Valentine Event A new event is active, and will be much like our Halloween one for those who remember. Cupid, the God of Love has been a Pandorian citizen for quite some time. An evil witch has put a curse on our beloved Cupid, exploding his love across Pandora in pieces. Before Cupid can rebuild his love for Pandorian citizens he has called upon the citizens of this land to slay dead love rembrants. Our King Konstantine tried to fight this evil himself, but did not have enough power to wipe the dead love off the land, but instead has quarantined it in the lost lands of Moonglow. The entrance is in the Umbra mage shop in Malas. How it Works Going to Umbra in Malas via moongate run NW to the mage shop. There you will see Valentine prizes on the tables for display. Go inside the cave entrance to the Lost Lands of Moonglow and slay the Dead Love of Cupid. At total random one of the prizes could be on the corpse. Some Dead Love will be quite easy, others may be quite strong. Choose your love wisely. This is trammel rule set and the event will go until the end of the day on Valentine's Day. New Artfacts that are now Imbuable - Demon Bridle Ring - Venom - Axes of Fury - Channelers Defender - Legacy of Despair - Abyssal Blade - Standard of Chaos - Stone Dragons Tooth - Life Syphon - Blade of Battle - Deaths Head - Petrified Snake - Banshees Call - Storm Caller - Sword of Shattered Hopes - Staff of Shattered Dreams - Stone Slith Claw - Raptor Claw - Dragon Hide Shield - Pillars of Strength - Sign of Order - Sign of Chaos - Cast Off Zombie Skin - Breastplate of the Berzerker - Giant Steps - Eternal Guardian Staff - Boura Tail Shield - Token of Holy Favor Jewels and Elementals Jewels will now only drop off the follow elementals. Shame is the best spot for these and I have increased the spawn in both Tram and Fel. Every elemental has a good chance to drop it's jewel, but not all will. Jewels can still be gotten by lock picking chests in dungeons. All elementals have gotten a slight buff, but by no means are 'hard'. - Ice Elemental (Sapphire) - Water Elemental (Tourmaline) - Snow Elemental (Diamond, Star Sapphire, Amethyst) - Acid Elemental (Diamond) - Blood Elemental (Diamond) - Poison Elemental (Amber) - Fire Elemental (Citrine) - Air Elemental (Emerald) - Earth Elemental (Ruby) - Various Pandora Coin mobs will drop various gems. Tweaks and Misc - Horselord has been nerfed. Changes will also be applying to yours if you have one over the next couple of days. - Prices raised on Vendor Contracts the Banker's sell. This is so people think twice about buying hundreds of them and never using them. - To get a Golden Skull to enter Doom's Guantlet will take longer. You must turn in 3k daemon bones, instead of 1k daemon bones to get a Golden Skull. This will slow down people popping in just to grief and will also will force more wiser decisions when to enter. Now that Malas is Trammel rule set, this is very easy. - Tokuno Lesser Treasure Artifacts can no longer be gotten on the entire map of Tokuno on Tuesdays. (This does not effect when the Stone is Green for the relavant dungeons). Now that Tokuno dungeons (except Ankh) are trammel, there is not much risk. - Wind, Felucca, is now a Pandora Coin Mob hot spot. The actual town of Wind and the outskirts are littered with Pandora Coin Mobs. There also is now no Guards in Wind Felucca. - Added another Virtue Bane Peerless spawn in the Rare Lake enclosed by Mountains via a Wind Teleporter. (East Section, Pentagram) - Wither andildfire got a nerf, including less damage and more mana and longer to cast. This will allow these spells to be effective in groups of players, but will take away the advantage of being 1 player spamming it running around soloing a champ. - Wraith Form got a nerf and will gain a bit less mana leech, uses more mana and takes a bit longer to cast. - Vampiric Embrace got a small nerf: uses more mana to cast, takes a bit longer to cast, bigger fire resist hit. - Ability whirlwind got a small nerf. - Most Imbuing Mats will be a bit harder to get of the corpses. - Toxic Slith and Pixie spawns have been nerfed. All the imbuing mats they dropped became worthless as spawn was out of control. They have been fixed. Same spots, just not spawning as often. The Pixie and Wyvern Renowned Bosses are on their own timer and have chance to spawn random through the day that their same previous location. Also added the Fire Elemental Renowned in Abyss. - Pixies have gotten a buff. This will also more than likely force teaming up for the Lord Oaks spawn. - Stygian Dragon now drops between 1-4 Relics, Lots of Pandora and Oceanic Coins and has the best, along with best chances on Pandora, like Virtue Bane, to drop the new Crimson Cinture. Of course also, he has a list of unique artifacts he can drop. He has gotten a buff though. - Medusa has changed and been upgraded. To fight her, you must slay the Fallen Serpents at her alter until you get the Giant Egg on their corpse. Once you do, place it in the basket and you will be teleported to her. If the basket is red, means someone is in there or she is already spawned and you will have to wait. Make sure you kill her before you leave as you will not get back. Also take a party with you. She now drops between 1-4 Relics and other goodies like sea coins and chance of dropping new Crimson Cinture. She has a couple of unique artifacts also. Their is a Taxed healer and corpse stone in the SE corner of Medusa's room if you die. She has been buffed. (If the Egg teleporting system ever bugs out please message me in IRC Chat and we will fix ASAP) - Naverey Night Eyes now has a chance to drop a couple of Relic Fragments (or none) along with Sea Coins and more. Publish 31New Website! (We Love Vorspire) Head over toPandoraUO.com and we have a brand new and highly functional website. This is a work in progress, but will have many features for you players. Also if you have no joined IRC yet, join from PandoraUO.com homepage, select Pjirc for now, as Mibbit is in the works. This will bring new players because of the professionalism, and allow players to read updates and find information much easier. Much work to be done on it, but there is a great start. Donation is also changing, more info below. We are almost to the point where your donation will be automatic and instant with Pandora Bucks. Client 7.0.23.1 Update your clients, all the way up to 7.0.23.0 by going into your UO directory (where you installed UO). Scroll down to find UOAutoPatch. Right click it and 'Run as Administrator'. You must do this to see new art work and animations on things we are adding to Pandora. We promise to stay the most up to date, so thats what we do. New Housing Board and Batten Walls and Stairs are now available to everyone via customize house menu. Gothic Walls, Large Chuch Windows and Stairs are now available to everyone via customize house menu. Serial Killers Murderer titles will now be shown on your paperdoll if you are a Red. If you have over 5 innocent kills then your paper doll will say The Murderer 'Your Name'. If you have 150 murder counts or over your title will become 'The Serial Killer' instead of 'The Murderer'. If you are a serial killer status then your name above your toon will appear a cool dark brown to people, also the same on your corpse. This is for all Murders, Serial Killers, AKA Reds! (anyone over 5 innocent kills) You can now be attacked anywhere in Trammel facets anytime! By blue players or red players.(Not including safe zones like Insula and Luna walls) Here is the catch though, whoever attacks you flags gray to you, and you can defend yourself. Blues, if your going to attack a red or brown at Brit Trammel bank, make sure you kill him, because once you attack, they have the right to kill and loot you at no murder count to him. This will create more risk for murderers and more group pvp in all maps on Pandora. This was voted for on the forums. You have spoken! Ethreals and Pets All NEW (not ones already that you have) ethereal mounts will be able to be dyed with Greater Pigments of Tokuno. (Yes the cool new colors) They no longer can be dyed with the Pet Dye in the donation room. All New Donation Pets can be dyed with Great Pigments of Tokuno (not ones already out there, but we will work something out later, maybe). Regular Pets can only be dyed from the Pet Dye via Donation and Pandora Coin Room. Donation Room Donation room got a face lift. (Please allow a couple of hours for it to all take effect). You can now buy anything in there with Pandora Bucks instead of paging staff. Once you donate, you will just be given Pandora Bucks. It's up to you what to buy with them then. This is also the start of the donation system become fully automatic and instant. Take note that to buy pets, you see the Donation Animal Trainer. The window will say they cost GP, but it's really PB until we can edit the graphics. Some prices have changed and some of the donation pets now come in a new color. All NEW Donation Wearables can be dyed with Greater Pigments of Tokuno. (This goes for Garg and Human) All Donation Wearables (Oceanic Shroud, Unholy Sash, etc) now also come in Gargish Version of Each. For example) Instead of Oceanic Sandals there are Gargish Oceanic Landing Pads. Known in game as Pandora Dollars, all new currency will be labeled Pandora Bucks from now on, as this is the name Pandorian's have given them. All old Pandora Dollars, can be exchanged with Konstantine, or possibly will have a exchange stone. New PvP ToT Dungeon Besides Fan Dancer Dojo and Yotusumo Mines (which are Trammel Rules) there is now another ToT Dungeon to get ToTs when the Stone Turns Green in Ilshinar! Known as Ankh Dungeon, this place has many entrances and shortcuts that you will find once running around. The easiest way to explain how to there for now is go to a moonagte > Ilshinar > Road to Ankh Tokuno Treasures. Follow the road all the way, you will come to the entrance. This new ToT Dungeon will have higher spawn rates and more monsters than the other two. Being in Felucca rule set, High Risk = High Reward. Any monster in this dungeon can give you a lesser tokuno artifact when the stones are green. Careful though! Tweaks and Misc All NEW Pandorian War Doom Artifacts can be dyed with Greater Pigments of Tokuno now. Greater Pigments of Tokuno now only come with 3 charges opposed to 5, as we have opened up another dungeon to get them, and more items can be dyed with them. (ex. Ethereals) When you have no fame or karma your title will be The Citizen. Publish 30Happy 2 Year Pandora!

This is our biggest publish to date, which means it took the most work. The Christmas 1/2 off donation sale did well, this is what you Pandorians get. More stuff. So thank you to all the donators out their who are raising the bar on Pandora and the entire Ultima Online genre. New MOTD Message of the Day
It can handle colors, even links for you to click on within the messages that open your browser if we want you to read more information or see a screenshot. This is a important feature to double check everytime you log in, by just looking at the date, so you are always in the know and don't miss anything. No! there is no way to cancel it from showing up when you log in because it's important. Just right click to close it whenever you want, and type [motd in game to open it back up anytime. .NET Framework 4
With this we are using Dynamic Saves, which this will effect the server world wide. Less lag, lower save times, faster script compiling, faster information processing, etc. It's pretty much going from a V4 Engine to a V8. Too much to explain here. Special thanks to Vorspire and ASayre (The guy who wrote the first line of code for RunUO, which is the engine Pandora runs on and every other free shard out there. Though ours is nothing like theirs by now as we do take the crown for most content and complexity than any Ultima Online world.) For you who are detailed, nerdy, coding minded read more about it HERE. You do not need to download anything, it's all on our servers. Introducing Super Gumps
This not only looks great and professional, but it allows you to focus on what your doing at that moment, and prevents making mistakes by doing many things at once as UO is a complex and busy game. Also it is a huge lag and crash preventer. It might take a little to get used to. But it's kind of like a mini traffic light, keeps things running smooth and controlled so not so many things going on at once. We believe it's best to adapt to this way as this is the future of these kind of game engines, especially UO. As we promise to our players to stay ahead of the curve and be the most innovative shard in the world, it is the now on PandoraUO. There are too changes in game that this effects, so you will just see for yourself as you play. (Notice as your reading this, everything is dim around the Pandora Update and News window? Wink Wink. This also opens up a huge door for more complex and awesome systems in the future. It allows things on UO you did not know were even possible. Virtue Bane Peerless Pack
He can be found in Buc's Dun (Felucca) around every 8 hours. (Let's bring back Buc's Den PvP). He will also spawn in Ter Mur (Trammel), on the swirly island where Ice Steed can be found about once a day at random. If you don't know where it is, just look on this MAP. See the swirly looking thing in the bottom left corner? Bane Chosen Dragon Rider, is a protector of Virtue Bane and ride's a Bane Dragon (looks like a dark swamp dragon) which is a tamable, ridable mount and is about equal to a Greater Dragon and has a chance to be even stronger than a GD. You must kill the Chosen Rider first to knock him off his mount. Then you must subdue to beast (hurt it until it's very low, don't kill it!) and tame it. Takes 113.1 Animal Taming minimum to tame it. 5 Slots. Will spawn around Virtue Bane randomly. Bane Chosen Recruit, is a on foot guardian of the Virtue Bane. Has a chance to drop 1 - 4 Pandora coins. Will spawn around the area also. Order and Chaos
Safe Zone places include Insula, Luna and Inside Luna walls, Artifact Room. You will have to figure out all the safe zones to be sure. If you do not want to PvP in all facets and you are in a Order or Chaos guild. Simply type: I resign from my guild. I wil be doing more with these 2 teams down the road. Treasures of Tokuno
Treasures of Tokuno stone that is outside the Fan Dancer Dojo and Yomotsu Mines will have a chance to turn Green more often and longer to drop Lesser Tots. Any monster inside these dungeons has a chance to put a artifact in your pack at random. Only when the stone is green though! There are now over 50 new Greater Pigments of Tokuno colors added on to the 10 already on Pandora. These colors are very cool and unique, they are on display at the Lesser Artifact Turn in Building in the town of Mako-Jima in Tokuno, near Ihara. Use the moongate > Tokuno > Treasures of Tokuno and it will place you in front of the building. (Beware the stones don't make the colors look near as cool as they are ha!) To have a chance to get these new pigment colors to dye your weapons and armor and more, you must collect 10 Lesser Tokuno Artifacts from any monster inside the Fan Dancer Dojo or Yomotsu Mines when the stone at their entrances is Green in color as stated above. You collect 10 and walk to Ihara the Treasure Artifact Specialists in the location mentioned above. He will put in your back 1 RANDOM Greater Tokuno Artifact. Out of the 11 Greater Tokuno Artifacts you can get, 1 could be a colored pigment bottle. If you get a colored pigment bottle then it will choose 1 color out of the 58 or so colors at complete random. Good luck! Pigments of Tokuno now only come with 5 charges each bottle. Note* You must be at the latest, or close to it, client to show most of the new colors, if you see them as straight black then you are out of date, and follow steps stated above about Client 7.0.21.2. Gargoyle ThrowingCyclone/Soul Glaive/Boomerang (This will effect all NEW throwing weapons, crafted or looted, including artifacts) All Gargoyle throwing weapons can now be Imbued, Including the artifacts. All throwing weapons ranged has increased. You will be able to throw them from longer ways away. All throwing weapons natural swing speeds have increased, you will throw them over and over faster. Dex does play a part though. Throwing weapons damaged has been increased. Throwing weapons have new / modded weapon abilities...
Geo LocationGeographic Location Display of players is back. Click the stone in Insula if you want to show information about yourself, such as country, state, region, etc. Your Country, based on your IP, will automatically show at first, for old and new players, so people can easily group up with people who share common interests such as language, culture, music, etc. You can always hide / show this information anytime you choose via the Location Stone. To see where a Pandorian is from, simply move your cursor over their avatar. If you do not see a country listed then they turned it off or their ISP has some kind of block on it. Remember you can turn this off whenever you choose, but it's a cool feature. Geo Location Stones Locations: Insula, on top of Serpent statue. In front of Luna bank. On Moongate> Geo Location Settings P.Coin and DonationNew Mini-Game on Pandora, called "Liar's Dice." If you don't know this game or it's rules read about it HERE! You will be able to buy the game for your house, etc. in the Pandora Coin room. Also there will be a couple public ones to use for free around Pandora. Added Futons for house deco in Pandora Coin room. Added Lady Bug trophies to Pandora Coin room. Added Blackrock Coffins to the Pandora Coin room. Donation Skill Balls (+20, +10, +5) Have been tweaked and bettered (Is that a word?). They have a different look and no longer will require staff to set your skills manually for you anytime you donate for one. They will automatically read your skill and your cap via powerscrolls and adjust properly. Added "Linked Gates" to the Donation House. 2 Moongates that are married to each other. You can lock 1 down, and lock the other 1 down where ever you want and they will allow you to travel back in forth with ease between the 2. Perfect for multiple houses, etc. The cost will be $40 for the pair. Added Everlasting Enchanted Apple to Donation House. It's an Enchanted Apple that when ate removes any curses on you including Mortal Strike. Same delay and timer as a normal Enchanted Apple that you can cook. ($50) You can buy Rustic Distillary tanks from the Pandora Coin room. They are only for decoration in your home. We have too many citizens with drinking problems as it is, so they do not make drinks. See what they look like HERE Gothic and Rustic HousingGothic and Rustic housing is now available! (This is the kind of stuff I can pull when you use the most updated clients) Use the custom house menu on your house sign, they will show up on the last page of your Walls section when building your house. (This does not include the stairs yet) Pandora Underworld, DeathThere is now a Corpse Retrieval Stone at various locations. Evantually it will be at somewhere around the majority of dungeons, but for now it will replace the Corpse Summoner in Insula next to the Training Elementals. It looks like a big grave stone, shadow in color. Pay 7500 Gold coins and your corpse will be summonened to your location with everyone on it. This works for new and old players. Careful about where you summon it though, if your in Felucca another player can loot it. Make sure you to get to the Corpse Stone, if you need it, before your body fully decays. Usually between 5-10 minutes. This is perfect for very new players, and old players who are in a bind with spawn around it, or simply to lazy to go get it. Ha! (Thank you Pandorian MinaLisa for the script) When you die in Pandora, you will automatically ressurect in 15 minutes time from your time of death. Of course you can find other ways of coming to life before this, using all the normal ways, (Ankh, Healer, Player Ressin You, etc). This will help the people who are stuck as a ghost in a random dungeon, etc. and need to come alive to use their runebook. Also there is a bonus if you do wait the time in the Pandorian Underworld: You do not lose any fame or karma coming back to life! When you die you will get a message saying you have 15 minutes. There is no window asking if you want to be ressed or not once 15 minutes is up, you simply will gasp for air and be pulled out of the Underworld.
Misc. Tweaks and BugsHigh Stakes Poker has been activated in the Casino. Use the Moongate > Pandorian Settlements > Las Casino Browser Books will be placed in their appropriate spots around Pandora. For Example) A book called "Skill Training Guide" when you double click it, it will open your web browser to Pandora's Skill Training Wiki. When joining the [DailyPvP you will have to shrink or stable your pets before you go. When you type [dailypvp while on a pet it will automatically dismount you and tell you to get rid of the animal. Too many people's pets were getting stuck in holding, and this should have been done a long time ago. Much more efficient and cleaner for everyone. You will no longer remain hidden when your pet is being aggressive. Your pet is bonded to you, so when he attacks or fights anything you will become unhidden as you are in the battle too. (this was a long time bug and just now getting around too it) Fixed a bug where growing plants, while in bowls would just show a error when your cursor moved over it (TID Error out of range thing). This has been fixed. You can now see the status of your plant growing much easier. When creating a new character with a name already in use, you cannot do anything until you find a name not taken by typing it in your chatting area. This will prevent people running around with the name Generic Player. Communication Crystals now will get 10,000 charges by using diamonds, and goes a bit down depending on what gem you use from there. Players have been using these locked down by their Vendors at their houses, and are able to read people saying things like 'Oh man shes out of refresh potions'! Well time to make some refresh potions! Removed the bug "Chat is not currently supported" message when logging in, when it actually is supported. Added new messages that pop up when you our chat banned/chat banned lifted. Pretty much explains the most common reasons oh why server banned you and usual time frame so people don't think they are banned forever or wonder what they probably did. If you page about it or PM any staff asking about it your time will be longer. Just wait it out, not that big of a deal. Pandora rarely crashes, but even 1 small bug that crashes it once and awhile is unacceptable to our team. 1 bug that has been haunting us and crashing the shard once a month has been fixed. Not saying it will ever crash again, as it happens with all games and is expected. (There will probably be a crash from this huge patch we will have to fix, ha!) But know that we always run Pandora in Debug mode now, so when it does crash we know the exact problem down to the line of code out of millions, then will never crash again from that specific bug. Pandora saves once an hour, so the roll back is never a huge time frame if it does crash. In 2 years Pandora has shown Online and running status about 99.45% of the time. Restarted and ran all updates on the Pandora server box. Vote Stones have minor changes. You will now get 500 gold as opposed to 2.5k for each vote as most people voting do not need the extra gold but still gives some. Also there is a 50/50 shot if you get a Pandora Coin each time you vote at each stone. You might get 5 Pandora Coins in a round of voting, might get non. But you will on average at least get 3 voting on all stones. This is mostly to prevent on all the people farming the vote stones creating 1000's of characters and items on the shard that are just not needed. Remember, only use 1 account per day to use voting stones. When your web browser opens to vote for Pandora, you must type in the CAPTCHA code, and CLICK the button to vote. It is very easy to see people who do not actually do what they are suppose to. Staff deletes 100's of Pandora Coins a week from players who do not actually vote. If you have not been caught yet, you will. It can also lead to jail time. We work very hard to give everyone a clean, professional and FREE Ultima Online world to call home. All we ask is you take the 30 seconds and actually vote. Your votes, put us at #1 on the websites, which in turn brings more players. Fixed bug with vote stones where you could double click and use them anywhere. You now must be right next to the stone to use it. A few changes to character creation to be more efficient and reduce items and garbage on Pandora. Things like, you will only get the new player LRC armor that applies to the race you are. You also now only start with 6k check and 5k gold, only if Young status. Older players will get a little gold also. Your new player will no longer start with a runebook to give scribes a better market again. This prevents again from people creating new characters just to farm the gold, creating 1000's of unused character that just I have caught. This is not good for the server what-so-ever. Also it's one of those things, where I don't want to do it, I like players having a lot of gold! But a few exploit it and ruin it for everyone. You will gain less valor at champ spawns, and will take less time to start decaying. Malas runes will appear in an orange color inside your runebook to tell the difference between all facets easier. Misc tweaks to the dueling gumps and other menus. On logging into Pandora it will no longer tell you the amount of players, items, mobiles etc etc. This is pointless information when you can see everyone who is in the global chat channel by typing [c. Usually that number plus 15-20 is how many players are on the shard at that given time, or just look on the website. This is little stuff to become more professional and sleek. Gargoyle's can now wear Bone Harvesters properly, and if it's human it will change to Gargish if equipped by Gargoyles, when equipped by human/elf it will turn back to a normal looking one. When creating items for a Gargoyle via Blacksmith or Tinkering, or any race for that matter. You can just make the weapon in human form, when you equip it with a Gargoyle it will change to Gargish. If you equip it back on a human it will change back. Ex. Create a normal (human) cleaver, but if you equip it with a Gargoyle it will turn to a Gargish Cleaver. Vis Versa. Increased the gold drop rate of Trammel Facets. (Trammel, Malas, Tokuno, Ter Mur) Felucca facets will still drop slightly more. Reset the I wish to Duel 'Top 10' scores. Removed [r or Region global chat for now, as players were abusing it to see what players were in the area when PKing. Added a Geo Location place to Moongates, Has the Geo Location Settings stone there. Remember Your AttitudeA lot of work has been put in Pandora and this update. We do not always tweak everything perfectly and there might be minor changes to some things in this patch as we go along and collect more information. A rule on Pandora is no negativity. If you complain about patch or anything in it in global chat you will be chat banned for 1 week. You can have a opinion, but don't need to share it with the entire shard. Publish 31, Major GoalsPvP Battles, Free For All, The Maze, Red Light, and more will be put back in. We were going to put them in this Publish but we got some more great ideas and still adding to it. It will be worth the wait. Email registration for Pandorians. This will be used to verify accounts when forgot information, news letters, and other helpful things. Toolbar for players, a toolbar that you have while in game to allow easy to use commands by just clicking it. For example, Mail, Daily Pvp, etc. More items, shrouds, and things Tokuno Dyable. New mounts and monsters. Order and Chaos additions. And more. Thank you Again thank you for being loyal to Pandora. We looking forward to many years together. As long as players keep playing and donators keep donating we will never stop to make Pandora the best free UO world ever. Patch notes 22-11-11 PATCH 28 - Client Version: 7.0.20%
DEAL OR NO DEAL- The popular game show on TV is now back on Pandora from popular demand. Buy a game show ticket from the stone click on Howey the host. Please read about the game on Wiki to get a basic idea of how the game works before you play, but it's very simple. You can win up to 1 million gold. To play costs 100k. Do not play it more than once or twice a day to allow others to play also. During gameplay there is also chances of getting rares, like a Kon the Wise Statue by random. - Deal or No Deal can be found near Yew Trammel Bank. TWEAKS & BALANCES- The Treasure of Tokuno stone will have a chance of turning green less often for awhile as there is a huge surplus in ToT Artifacts. - There is now a 5 second delay between drinking cure potions, which in turn will fix poison in PVP. - There is now a 4 second delay between casting Teleport, which in turn will fix people's teleport scripts that exploits what the purpose of the spell is for. - You can no longer cast Wither inside the Daily PVP. - Another patch will come in 2 - 4 weeks with some fairly major changes
PATCH 27 - PANDORIAN WAR & MALAS / DOOM PATCH / ECONOMY%Pandorian War, Malas & The Guantlet
If you get a Pandora Doom one instead of a Pandorian War, you can keep it or smelt it for a relic etc. (All Guantlet artifacts are effected by this except for clothing ones.
So bottom line, when you are killing things in guantlet, when you get an artifact, it will randomly choose (even chances) of a Pandora Doom one, Pandorian War one, or a Gargish Pandorian War one. There are a total of 95 different Artifacts that can pop in your back while hunting in Guantlet. Including 30+ Gargoyle ones.
Tweaks & Economy
Housing
not only be great for economy for a gold sink, but also will create a housing economy in the long run. Houses now have much better value. So if you own a house, you just made money. This might take time to get used too, but new players will be able to buy a small house just voting for 2 days on the voting stones. If you want a big house, you will have to work for it. All current House Placment Tools will be deleted. Please visit the architect to buy a new one.
