⋘⋘⋘ Patches & Hotfixes ⋙⋙⋙

July 3rd, 2023
Greetings everyone, thank you so much for such an active start to the new cycle!

With a new cycle comes a new set of patch notes. Lots of things broke, and lots of things were fixed, but we all pulled through together! We have fixed many issues with broken forge items, automated task scheduling, and have also massively upgraded our server hardware a couple of months ago! Now we support many players out and exploring without needing to pre-generate the map, which was the most tedious part of starting a new cycle.

A lot of things have changed, such as redefining the tier system for forge items, completely changing the Spirit-Binding system to make it mostly automated and much easier for staff to process, as well as redesigning the way forge bows work to give developers more flexibility with creating new mechanics that are less likely to randomly break with time.

Aether Bow

Developer Comments:
Currently, the enchants that allowed for the marksman (zero-gravity) and piercing enchants no longer work. Instead, the bow is now an Autobow so we can take advantage of custom arrows to re-add the bow's previous functionality. Additionally, the undead damage bonus was reduced to match the 50% bonus of the True Aether Bow. Crits were removed from bows as they no longer function correctly and would be a bit too powerful with this new system.


True Aether Bow

Developer Comments:
See Aether Bow. 


Dovahkiin Helmet

Developer Comments:
The Dovahkiin Helmet's shout was missing entities at close range due to it's narrow cone radius. This caused you to have to look directly at an entity up close in order to hit it. To solve this, we increased the cone's radius. We also increased the range so each shout feels more powerful. Note that the cone cannot be rotated upwards, it is always forward and looking up has no effect.


True Void Bow (Legacy Forge Item)

Developer Comments:
With many of the True Void Bow's enchantments and abilities broken, we have decided to completely redesign this item to make it feel more like a proper second tier forge item. Currently only one person on the server has this item unlocked, however we plan on bringing it back to the forge at a later date.


Fire Dragon Helmet (Legacy Forge Item)

Developer Comments:
We decided to buff the meteorite so it feels more impactful when dealing with large hordes of mobs in dungeons.


Sea Dragon Helmet (Legacy Forge Item)

Developer Comments:
For consistency with other dragon helmets, we have decided to add permanent Fire Resistance to the sea dragon.


Chaos Hammer (Paragon Item)

Owner: THOG

Developer Comments:
For a paragon item, this item was very slow and sluggish to use, so we have decided to greatly increase it's attack speed in melee combat to make it actually usable in dungeons. We have also increased the regeneration speed of Chaos Charges to make the weapon more usable over a longer period of time, as before you would run out of abilities within the first minute of a dungeon.

Comment


True Aether Bow

Developer Comments:
Players have been reporting that this weapon is a bit too powerful in PvP combat after the rework. We feel that a slight pvp damage nerf should help balance things out.


True Dragon's Talon (Paragon Item)

Developer Comments:
This paragon item is due for a rework due to power creep from other forge items. In the meantime we've reduced the cooldown of the lightning ability.

Most Items

Raven Wings

Developer Comments:
Why did I make this item cost 4 stacks of experience bottles? Those are so annoying to get lol


Mendstones

All Mendstones have been made significantly easier and quicker to forge!

Focus Remover

Developer Comments:
I guess back when I made this recipe, I did not know that Lodestones required a Netherite Ingot. Whoops!

FINALLY!!!

We have managed to update the server to 1.20.4 after pulling my scales out repeatedly while dealing with plugin issues and having to fix a bunch of stuff due to plugins deciding to do full recodes.

Production has resumed once again on new dungeon content, including a new prototype dungeon mode we've been working on! Expect to see new dungeon content released within the next few days!

(NEW!) Eternal Wind

Developer Comments:
We received a discord suggestion a while back for some sort of forge item dedicated for use in mob grinders. Here it is!


(NEW!) True Aether Armor

Developer Comments:
Highly recommended if you plan on attempting 300% difficulty or higher in our upcoming Ancient Digsite dungeon!


(NEW!) Sky Dragon Helmet

Developer Comments:
Finally, Dragon Helmets are making a comeback! Remember, once you forge one, you will unlock it forever in the Spirit Forge, so even though it is difficult to craft, you only have to make it once!


Aether Shovel

Developer Comments:
This buff to the Aether Shovel will give it the same durability as the Aether Pickaxe.


Aether Excavator

Developer Comments:
This buff to the Aether Excavator will give it the same durability as the Aether Claw.

Cycle 8 - Patch 3.2.1


New Mini Dungeon!!!

We have released a new type of dungeon we are calling a "speedrun dungeon"!
The goal is to run to the end as fast as possible before the time runs out. Collect shiny things along the way to maintain your speed!
The faster you are (and the more shinies you collect), the higher your score! More points = better loot.
There's even a leaderboard you can see at /warp forge with the fastest times!
Note that this dungeon has custom music, so please play with your sound enabled! (Control the volume of the music using the "Boss Music" slider in your sound settings)
We have also added a practice version of this dungeon that gives no rewards, but also has no cooldown. To encourage competition, practice runs count towards the leaderboard!

Dungeon Info

Name: Outpost Run
Type: Speedrun Dungeon
Difficulty: Medium (Steep learning curve)
Time Limit: 200 seconds
Max Players: 1
Lives: 1
Cooldown: 4 hours 1 hour!
