Dragonstone - Patch 1.8.1

Cycle 9 - Patch 1.8.1

Balance Changes

Can now damage passive/non-hostile mobs.
- Finally, you can use wands to hunt animals!

Warning: Forge items are now capable of damaging or even killing your pets! Caution is advised.

Sea Dragon Helmet

Movement penalty while underwater is halved. 🡹
No longer has mining speed penalty while underwater. 🡹
[Ability: Cleansing Pool]
- Base healing increased from 0.4 ➜ 0.5 (+25%)
- Flow State healing increased from 0.8 ➜ 1.0 (+25%)

Developer Notes (Click to show)

We decided to make the Sea Dragon feel more at home underwater by improving their mining speed and movement control while underwater. ~Dragon

Sea Dragon's healing felt a little underwhelming, so we slightly increased its base numbers to add more weight to its stand-alone HPS. ~Dummy

Angelic Axe

Angelic Smite proc chance reduced from 1.5% ➜ 1% (-33%)
Fixed an issue where Angelic Smite was not dealing damage to the entity that triggered the smite. 🡹

Developer Notes (Click to show)

Now that the Angelic Axe is being used more often in dungeons, we feel that Angelic Smite was going off a little more often than we'd like. We want it to feel like a rare and exciting moment when it happens, so we are reducing the proc chance in order to keep this item balanced in PvE content. ~Dragon

All Wands

Added Looting III enchantment to all wands. 🡹

Infernal Wand

Spell damage increased from 27 ➜ 30 (+11%)

Essence Generator

Nether Essence:
- Wither Skeleton Skull: 5 ➜ 1

Aether Forge

Raven Wings:
- Elytra: 2 ➜ 1
- Nether Star: 2 ➜ 1

Dragonstone Changelogs (1.21)

Dragonstone - Patch 1.8

Cycle 9 - Patch 1.8

New Items

Molten Tools

Tier II Hellforge Tools!
Reinforced with very high durability.
Upgraded enchantments, comes with Efficiency V and Fortune III.
Autosmelts mined ores, logs, and sand.

Infernal Armor

The Hellforge's Tier II armor set!
Equipped with additional armor points, armor plating, and a shorter dash cooldown, this set is designed with melee combat in mind.
This is our first armor set that goes above the vanilla limits of armor, featuring 21 armor points and 18 armor toughness!

Aether & Nether Gemstones

Melee weapons can now be upgraded with Gemstones, just like wands!
Choose from 3 different types of gemstones, with more coming soon!
All Tier I melee weapons now have 1 gem slot, while Tier II melee weapons have 2 gem slots!
Crafting station located on the right side of the Hellstone Forge

Forge Potions

Five new potions are being added to the forge!
Restoration Potions: Health Potion, Mana Potion, Golden Elixir.
Buff Potions: Leyline Potion, Smite Potion
Crafting station located on the right side of the Aether Forge.

Developer Notes (Click to show)

These new forge potions should allow players to recover more quickly from the high damaging abilities of forge items and difficult bosses. Mana Potions will help mages recover mana more quickly to sustain their magic attacks and have higher uptime, as they often exhaust themselves too quickly and have to wait for their next mana surge or rely on natural regeneration to continue fighting. The new Leyline and Smite potions should help make dealing with dungeon hordes a little easier and faster, especially at higher difficulties. ~Dragon & Dummy

⚙️ New Mechanic ⚙️

Armor Plating

We are adding a new armor stat called Armor Plating.
- Armor Plating is being added to our new Infernal Armor set and Dragon Helmets. (Replacing chromatic scales)
Here is how it works:
- Upon equipping an item with Armor Plating, you begin generating Armor Plate stacks.
- While armor plating is active, all incoming damage is reduced by 40%, and you are immune to most forms of knockback.
- Taking damage from any source reduces your armor plating by 1.
- When your armor plating reaches 0, it becomes "cracked" and is no longer effective.
- Armor plating will regenerate after 60 seconds have passed. It will also begin to regenerate if you don't take damage for 15 seconds and still have some armor plating left.

Balance Changes

Armor

Aether Armor (Full Set)

Armor Toughness increased from 4 ➜ 6 (+50%)
Magic Resistance reduced from 30% ➜ 20%

True Aether Armor (Full Set)

Armor Toughness increased from 10 ➜ 12 (+20%)
Magic Resistance reduced from 50% ➜ 20%
Fire Protection enchantment reduced from Lvl IV ➜ Lvl III
[Ability: Mana Surge]
- Cooldown reduced from 150s ➜ 90s (-40%)
- PvP nerf reduced from 50% ➜ 25% (-25%)
- Now notifies you when cooldown is finished. 🡹
- This ability no longer benefits from Cooldown Reduction. 🡻

Developer Notes (Click to show)

The high magic resistance of Aether Armor made PvP matches with other magic users very slow. We still want them to be a little resistant to their own element, but not to the extent they were previously. We shifted some of that resistance into their offensive utility, and a little bit into armor toughness to help mages survive longer in dungeons. ~Dragon

Mana surge had too low of an impact with too high of a cooldown in PvP. With careful testing, we believe these changes will help mages deal burst damage more often. ~Dummy

Hellstone Armor Set

Removed Melee Resistance. 30% ➜ 0%
Fire Protection enchantment increased from Lvl III ➜ Lvl IV
Improved animation for Hellstone Dash. 🡹
[Set Bonus: Level 2]
- 🡹 Added +10 Max Mana
- 🡻 Removed +10% Melee Damage
[Set Bonus: Level 3]
- 🡹 Added +1 Base Melee Damage
- 🡻 Removed +20% Melee Damage

Developer Notes (Click to show)

Tier 1 Hellstone Armor was not only competing with Tier 2 Aether Armor, it was often stronger due to a number of problems with physical builds dealing way too much damage in PvP scenarios. These changes help to bring physical more in line with where it should be. ~Dummy

We also gave the Hellstone Armor a small amount of mana capacity to help melee users utilize their right click abilities more often, such as Molten Slash and Magma Bomb. ~Dragon

Raven Wings

Now grants immunity to fall damage. 🡹
Removed damage resistance while flying. 50% ➜ 0%

Developer Notes (Click to show)

We are removing damage resistance while in-flight to combat potentially annoying PvP scenarios. ~Dragon

Sky Dragon Helmet

Added +4 Armor Plating. 0 ➜ 4
Removed Chromatic Scales. 20 ➜ 0
Can now hover slightly above the ground and maintain empowered buff while flight suppressed. 🡹

Developer Notes (Click to show)

Sky Dragon Helmet was severely weaker than the other dragon helmets, largely due to being locked out of its flight buff in boss fights. These changes allow for the sky dragon to enhance their magical attacks while keeping their floaty movement in dungeon boss fights. ~Dummy

Fire Dragon Helmet

Added +4 Armor Plating. 0 ➜ 4
Removed Chromatic Scales. 20 ➜ 0
Removed 30% Melee Resistance. 30% ➜ 0%
[Passive: Infernal Strength]
- Strength I now begins at 20 HP. 16 ➜ 20
[Ability: Meteorite]
- Max meteor charges reduced from 10 ➜ 3 (-70%)
- Damage increased from 40 ➜ 60 (+50%)
- Vertical knockback increased by 300%
- Now applies Inferno Hex to all entities it hits. 🡹
- Animation adjusted to make the meteor feel more powerful. 🡹
[Ability: Combustion]
- PvE damage reduced from 3x ➜ 1.5x (-50%)
- PvP damage reduced from 0.5x ➜ 0.33x (-33%)

Developer Notes (Click to show)

The Fire Dragon Helmet was definitely a controversial topic when discussing how it should be balanced. First of all, Fire Dragon specifically made the best use of chromatic scales in both PvP and PvE content, and was next to impossible to kill in PvP scenarios. We have replaced chromatic scales on all dragon helmets with armor plating. Additionally, it had too many meteors and poke potential, so we condensed the power of them while giving them less stacks. Finally, we made a straight nerf to combust, as it was scaling unexpectantly with physical stats. ~Dummy

Meteor make big boom boom now! ~Dragon

Sea Dragon Helmet

Added +4 Armor Plating. 0 ➜ 4
Removed Chromatic Scales. 20 ➜ 0
Healing Potency reduced from 50% ➜ 25%
Removed 5% Parry Chance. 5% ➜ 0%

Developer Notes (Click to show)

Healing was largely overlooked as only one healing build existed. After calculating potential healing numbers with different amounts of investment into healing, we decided to nerf the sea dragons healing potency to level out its raw healing potential with a green focused Aether Staff. ~Dummy

In addition, we are removing RNG stats like % parry chance from all dragon helmets for the time being as we consider more skill-based methods of blocking or parrying attacks. ~Dragon

Void Dragon Helmet

Added +4 Armor Plating. 0 ➜ 4
Removed Chromatic Scales. 20 ➜ 0
Removed 10% Dodge Chance. 10% ➜ 0%

Developer Notes (Click to show)

This item is pending a rework, but for consistency purposes, we are giving this dragon helmet the same treatment as the others. ~Dragon

Melee

All Melee Weapons

Increased base damage vs mobs, now uses PvP Power to control damage vs players.
Slash attack no longer occurs while in the air to avoid confusion when attempting crits.
A sound now plays when landing a direct hit (not a slash hit) to let you know you did full damage.
Reduced particle size of slashes to reduce visual clutter.

Developer Notes (Click to show)

We finally figured out a way to change how much damage is dealt between Mobs and Players with physical weapons. This should help make physical builds more viable in dungeons. Additionally, damage vs players was slightly reduced in order to keep physical in check as it was previously too strong in PvP. ~Dummy

In addition, testing revealed that slash attacks made it difficult to tell if you landed a crit or not, as more often than not the slash would hit the player when it felt like it should've been a crit. We changed the behavior of slash attacks to no longer occur while in the air to reduce the feeling of missed crits. ~Dragon

All Axes

Slash attack damage reduced from 0.9x ➜ 0.8x (-11%)
Slash attack now only occurs on direct hit. 🡻

Developer Notes (Click to show)

This change to axes was made to prevent axes from constantly slashing while chopping trees. This also helps to balance their power a little bit, as axes have much wider slashes compared to swords which made them a little too powerful when swinging freely. ~Dragon

Aether Blade + Eternal Wind

Damage increased from 11 ➜ 16 (+45%)
PvP power set to 69%. 11 ➜ 11 (+0%)

True Aether Blade

Damage increased from 14 ➜ 20 (+43%)
PvP power set to 63%. 14 ➜ 12.5 (-11%)
[Ability: Whirlwind]
- Cooldown increased from 2s ➜ 6s (+200%)
- Knockback vs mobs increased by 47%
- Knockback vs players increased by 100%
- Removed weakness effect after casting. 🡹

Developer Notes (Click to show)

The True Aether Blade was another controversial item when it came to its balance. Its AoE damage capability in dungeons far exceeded the True Aether Wand, and it found little to no use in PvP. We decided to make it a CC tool to help mages deter physical units by increasing the knockback power of Whirlwind. In addition, we increased Whirlwind's cooldown to reduce knockback spam in both PvE and PvP. ~Dummy

Hellstone Blade

Damage increased from 13 ➜ 18 (+38%)
PvP power set to 67%. 13 ➜ 12 (-8%)

True Hellstone Blade

Damage increased from 17 ➜ 23 (+35%)
PvP power set to 65%. 17 ➜ 15 (-12%)

Aether Axe

Damage increased from 13 ➜ 19 (+46%)
PvP power set to 66% 13 ➜ 12 (-7%)

Angelic Axe

Damage increased from 17 ➜ 21 (+24%)
PvP power set to 67% 17 ➜ 14 (-18%)

Hellstone Axe

Damage increased from 15 ➜ 20 (+33%)
PvP power set to 68% 15 ➜ 13.5 (-10%)

Volcanic Edge

Damage increased from 18 ➜ 25 (+38%)
PvP power set to 66% 18 ➜ 16.5 (-8%)
[Ability: Magma Bomb]
- Cooldown increased from 12s ➜ 15s (-25%)

Developer Notes (Click to show)

Magma Bomb deals a large amount of damage very reliably on a relatively short cooldown. Instead of targeting the high damage, we decided to increase the cooldown slightly to maintain the item as a good wave clearer in PvE and heavy poke tool and/or finisher in PvP. ~Dragon

Reliquae Aurora

Temporarily removed AoE and Crit Chance. 🡻
This item is pending a full rework.

Chaos Hammer

Damage increased from 19 ➜ 39 (+105%)
PvP power set to 43% 19 ➜ 17 (-11%)
[Ability: Explosive Pain]
- Damage increased from 20 ➜ 60 (+300%)
- PvP damage increased from 10 ➜ 20 (+100%)
- Cooldown reduced from 8s ➜ 4s (+50%)
- Added range limit to thrown blocks to reduce lag. 🡹
[Ability: Grand Slam]
- Damage ceiling increased from 80 ➜ 120 (+50%)
- PvP damage ceiling increased from 30 ➜ 40 (+33%)

Developer Notes (Click to show)

While Paragon Items remain as a source of uncertainty in the development process, we still want to ensure they are at least as viable as a Dragon Helmet. As such, this item is receiving various buffs to maintain a power level similar to a Tier IV item. ~Dragon

Ranged

All Forge Bows

PvP power reduced from 50% ➜ 30% (-20%)
Arrow Velocity is now displayed in blocks per second instead of a multiplier.
Now fires custom projectiles that we have more control over.

Developer Notes (Click to show)

We found that bows were out damaging other weapon types with zero investment, so we tuned their damage to be more respective of uninvested weapon damage numbers of other damage types in preperation for future ways to invest in ranged/bow capabilities. ~Dummy

True Aether Bow

Can now continue charging to reduce arrow spread. 🡹
All three arrows can now damage the same enemy. 🡹
Damage reduced from 57x3 ➜ 49x3 (-14%)

Developer Notes (Click to show)

With the ability to deal shotgun levels of damage up close, and choke the spread for longer distance sniping, this is now a very formidible weapon. As a safety precaution, we are reducing the damage slightly and will be keeping a close eye on this weapon. ~Dragon

Hellstone Bow

Arrow Velocity reduced from 80 ➜ 50 (-38%)
Explosion damage multiplier increased from 0.7x ➜ 0.75x (+7%)

Magma Bow

Arrow Velocity reduced from 80 ➜ 50 (-38%)
Explosion charge time reduced from 3.5s ➜ 2s (-43%)
Explosion damage multiplier reduced from 0.8x ➜ 0.75x (-6%)
An entity hit by an exploding arrow will now take damage from both the arrow and the explosion.

Developer Notes (Click to show)

After discussing feedback on the Magma Bow, we decided to heavily buff the charge speed for explosive arrows to make the bow feel quicker, more reliable, and much more fun to use. In addition, we reduced the arrow velocity of Hellforge bows to ensure that they are not strictly better than Aether bows. They both have their own benefits and drawbacks.

All Forge Repeaters

Now have a new Arrow Spread stat.
- Set to 2° on most repeaters for now.
Arrow Velocity is now displayed in blocks per second.

Developer Notes (Click to show)

Repeaters were dominating single target DPS with no investment, especially in PvE content. Their original purpose was to relieve strain of pulling back arrows while still having a bow type weapon, however they ended up being an infinitely better choice than regular bows. We are nerfing them in hopes of letting regular bows shine once more. ~Dummy

Aether Repeater

Damage reduced from 24 ➜ 16 (-33%)
Arrow Velocity reduced from 40 ➜ 20 (-50%)

True Aether Repeater

Damage reduced from 33 ➜ 22 (-33%)
Arrow Velocity reduced by 60 ➜ 20 (-33%)

Hellstone Repeater

Damage reduced from 38 ➜ 26 (-32%)
Arrow Velocity reduced from 60 ➜ 40 (-33%)
Explosion damage multiplier increased from 0.7x ➜ 0.75x (+7%)

Magma Repeater

Damage reduced from 48 ➜ 36 (-25%)
Arrow Velocity reduced from 80 ➜ 40 (-50%)
Explosion damage multiplier reduced from 0.8x ➜ 0.75x (-6%)

Magic

True Aether Wand

[Ability: Aether Barrage]
- Cooldown reduced from 20s ➜ 12s (-40%)
- Reduced the spread of barrage projectiles by 80%. 🡹
- Barrage projectiles will ignore immunity frames, allowing all 7 shots to deal damage. 🡹

Developer Notes (Click to show)

The barrage ability of this weapon is often used as a finisher or as a high damage tool, but was found to be unreliable outside of point-blank range. We are tuning the spread and damage capability to make this ability more reliable in fast-paced PvP combat, and reducing the cooldown so mages have more opportunities to deal good burst damage to a tanky opponent, especially considering the new existence of instant consumables. ~Dragon

Infernal Wand

Updated item description to state that projectiles leave behind a lingering AoE for a short time.
Temporarily removed unfinished secondary ability.
- Replaced with Hellstone Wand's secondary.
  - Cooldown of this ability is shared between the two wands.
Other players' AoE circles are now colored red to differentiate between your own AoE circles.

Developer Notes (Click to show)

This item has very strong crowd control potential in PvP. As such, we are keeping a close eye on this item and are working on finishing up the unfinished secondary ability we accidentally released. ~Dragon

Aether Staff

Now has a party targeting option.
- Enabling Party Healing will ensure projectiles only track and collide with party members.
- Turning this off will allow you to track and heal anyone.
- Toggle by looking directly down and pressing F (your swap hand keybind).

Developer Notes (Click to show)

This change was to allow healers to target party members that are closely fighting other players, without accidently healing non party members. Additionally, you can still heal players in the open world without needing to be in a party with them. ~Dummy

🧟 Dungeon Changes 🧟

Outpost

Warden Shield health reduced from 300 ➜ 250 (-17%)
Added forge potions to forest crate loot.

Ancient Digsite

Ancient Pharaoh now fires the "cursed sand" attack at the same time as the tornado to make the attack easier to predict.
Demonic Seal Shield health reduced from 500 ➜ 250 (-50%)
Hellfire Archdemon base health reduced from 8600 ➜ 6600 (-23%)
Added forge potions to desert crate loot.
Boss Loot Changes:
- Now drops 2 rare items at base instead of 1.
  - Rare count is 2 + 1 for every 100% difficulty added. (3 at 200%, 4 at 300%, etc.)
- Added Infernal Heart (Relic)
- Added Infernal Ruby
- Added Outpost Cooldown Reset
- Removed Red, Green, and Blue Hellstone Focus Gems
- Removed Mana Generator
- Removed Mana Crystal
- See updated loot table and weights here!
  - https://wiki.dragonstone.pw/books/the-dungeon-codex/page/ds4-ancient-digsite

Developer Notes (Click to show)

The health reduction is to compensate for the Repeater nerf and to slightly reduce the duration of the boss fight at higher difficulties, as this dungeon already takes enough time to finish as it is. In addition, we have boosted the base rare drop count to account for this dungeon being of much higher difficulty than other dungeons. ~Dragon

🛠️ Forge Changes 🛠️

Dragon Communion Altar

Crafting a Dragonstone now also requires 10 Infernal Rubies. 0 ➜ 10

- Reduced Obsidian, Nether Brick, and Blaze Powder requirements from 30 ➜ 10
- Smelting time reduced from 10 min ➜ 5 min

Developer Notes (Click to show)

We made the difficult decision to remove the shard dust options for smelting dungeon ores, because we found that there was little reason to gather and spend vanilla materials anymore. ~Dragon

Hellstone Forge

Hellstone Pickaxe:
- Reduced Magma Block requirement from 150 ➜ 75
Hellstone Shovel:
- Reduced Magma Block requirement from 100 ➜ 50

Reduced particle size of melee weapon slashes to reduce visual clutter.
Players in the forge now receive Fire Resistance to prevent hellforge lava from burning players.
All forge armor and spirit armor use a netherite base again, which makes the items themselves immune to lava.
You can now add armor trim to forge armor once again.
- Note that trim will be lost if we make any stat changes to forge armor, so please keep copies of your trim templates!

- Must be flying, left click with an empty hand to cast.
- This can allow you to go over your mana cap.

Future Plans

We plan on removing the Undead Damage bonus from all Aether items and moving it to new equipable items called "Trinkets".
- (Same for Demon Damage on Hellforge items)
Affinity will be re-introduced, we are redesigning the system to focus more on unlocking new abilities for existing forge items rather than granting raw stat buffs. This will allow you to continue to use your favorite lower tier forge items without them becoming non-viable in later dungeons.
- Example: Having more than 25 Air Affinity may grant the True Aether Blade a new attack, and make the existing Whirlwind ability shoot three wind projectiles instead of just one.

- Developer Notes: We want you to suffer but not THAT much.

Active Area Buff: Increased duration from 5 sec --> 8 sec.

Quality of Life

Most forge items will no longer knock back or target party members.
- Developer Notes: Yay no more getting knocked into a horde of lvl 80 husks by your teammate with a true aether blade. This will be added to forge wands in a future patch, they are more difficult to work with.

We are working on fixing many bugs with the hellforge.
We plan on buffing several hellforge items to ensure they remain competitive with their aether counterparts.
We plan on fixing a couple of unfair/undodgeable attacks on the Digsite boss (triple fireball especially) so very high difficulties are at least possible.

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.

Server Updates

Updated Dragonstone to 1.20
Released Spirit Forge, more information below!
Upgraded Dragonstone's Server Hardware.
- CPU: 16-Core AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
- RAM: 128gb DDR5 5600mhz
- STORAGE: 4x 1TB m.2 SSDs + 2x 10TB HDD + 1x 4TB Backup HDD for Dragonstone
~~Installed Iron AI to cover for irontrooper205 while he is away.~~
- Uninstalled Iron AI due to showing possible signs of sentience.
Got sticked.
- As a temporary fix for a dupe glitch, a persistent stick was added to everyone's last inventory slot to prevent soulbound items duping upon death.
- This has since been replaced with a command that makes sure all players have at least 1 exp level.
Fixed Scheduler (Automatic Reboots, Backups, etc.)

Known Issues

Many forge items are experiencing bugs after the update, we are working on fixing as much as we can!
We are aware of an issue that causes player locations to be randomly rolled back, causing players to appear at a previously visited location after a server reboot.
The server's automatic reboot scheduler is currently not working.
The nametags of named pets do not properly appear in most cases when looked at.
Players who have not yet interacted with Nariel in the Outpost Dungeon cannot click the chat options.

General Bug Fixes

Fixed a duplication bug.

Dungeon Changes/Bug Fixes

Fixed custom biome in the Outpost dungeon.

Dragonforge Changes/Bug Fixes

Changed the tiers of all forge items to be a bit easier to understand.
- There are now 5 tiers instead of 10.
- Higher tier items will now often be direct upgrades compared to lower tier items.
Many improvements and minor fixes to item descriptions and colors.
Reworked the custom stats back-end to make development easier.
Fixed the bug that caused players to spawn with 0 mana.
Added new textures for shard dust, dragon shards, aetherite ore, aetherite ingot, and starlite alloy.
Fixed Mana Generators (if you have any in your /mmoinv from the previous cycle, please take them out, move them around in your inv and put them back in!)
Fixed Aether Armor not having a set bonus.
Reworked all Forge Bows to allow auto-fire and use custom projectiles for increased development flexibility.
Removed Pocket Mana Generators
- They have been converted to Mana Generators which can be equipped in a mana slot with /equip
Mana Crystals now need to be equipped in a mana slot with /equip

⋘⋘⋘ Spirit Forge ⋙⋙⋙

The place where your past items return to you.

We are replacing the Spirit-Binding system with the Spirit Forge!
As of June 2022, any item you make in the Dragon Forge is automatically unlocked in the Spirit Forge!
After a server reset, you can go to the Spirit Forge to re-make any item you have forged in the past!
You are given some Draconic Essence to spend at the Spirit Forge after every reset.
The amount of Draconic Essence you are given increases with each reset you experience.

⋘⋘⋘ Dragonforge Balance Changes ⋙⋙⋙

Please move these items around in your inventory to trigger an item update!

Aether Bow

This item is now an Autobow.
No longer requires arrows to fire.
Uses a new ammo/reloading system.
Automatically fires when holding right click.
Reloading does not require any materials, it just slows you down for a brief moment.
Undead damage bonus decreased from 80% --> 50%
Removed crits.

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

Same changes as Aether Bow, this item is now an Autobow.
Fires more rapidly than the standard Aether Bow.
Removed crits.

Developer Comments:
See Aether Bow.

Dovahkiin Helmet

Shockwave cone radius increased from 30° --> 50° wide.
Shockwave range increased from 20 blocks --> 40 blocks.

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)

Completely reworked!
This bow is now an Autobow.
Rapidly fires flak projectiles that explode on impact or after a short delay.
Rapid-fire is somewhat inaccurate and difficult to control.
Durability increased from 150 --> 888

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)

Meteorite base damage increased from 30 --> 40
Meteorite range increased from 5.5 --> 7.5

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)

Added permanent Fire Resistance potion effect.

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

Increased attack speed from 0.7 --> 1.7
Increased melee AoE range from 2.0 --> 4.0
Fixed Chaos Slam ability's vertical velocity by changing vertical velocity from 0.3 --> 3.0
Increased Chaos Charge regeneration rate from 5 sec (40% chance) --> 1 sec (33% chance).

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.

Forest Sprites no longer attack players.
- Forest Sprites now heal and buff the nearest mob.
- (Buff duration scales with dungeon difficulty)
Recoded mob leveling system to be much more efficient, flexible, and easier for developers to work with.
- This will accelerate development of future dungeons using the new difficulty system as mob levels are no longer hardcoded and can be set dynamically by the dungeon.
Mob portals won’t spawn as many mobs at higher difficulty levels to reduce client lag. Mobs have very slightly more HP to compensate.
Mobs lvl 150 and above now have their movement speed capped.
Nariel's particle beam now has a max length of 24 blocks to reduce lag.
Reworked Outpost boss scaling and loot tables to allow for infinite difficulty and reward scaling.

- Updated loot table info here: https://wiki.dragonstone.pw/books/the-dungeon-codex/page/ds2-the-outpost
Added new Dungeon Cooldown Reset items!
- These can be made at the forge with shards.
- They are used to reset your dungeon cooldowns so you can get forge materials faster.
[Bugfix] Fixed bug where the corrupted warden shows it's tier twice in the death message.
[Bugfix] Dungeon mobs should no longer despawn when far away.

Dragon Forge

Most Tier I and Tier II forge items no longer require shards to make.
- Material costs of most forge items have been tweaked slightly to account for this change.
Many of the smaller forge GUIs have been updated to look cleaner.
Improved auto-fire on all forge bows, fire rate now smoothly scales with water affinity when holding right click.
- Previously you would have to spam right click to take advantage of the increased fire rate granted by water affinity because holding right click only triggers 4 times per second. Now holding right click will send a trigger 20 times per second.
All forge bows can (finally) be reloaded at any time by pressing F
- If you want to change this keybind, edit the "Swap Item With Offhand" keybind in your settings.
Flying with the Raven Wings now makes particle trails again.
Some forge materials are now interactible, meaning you can place them on item frames and armor stands.
- This also fixes the issue where you can't open ender chests while holding these materials.
- Affects the following materials:
  - Aetherite Ore
  - Aetherian Steel
  - Starlite Alloy
  - Dragon Shard
  - Dragon Shard Dust
  - More will be fixed soon! (They are more complex)
Forge bows and wands now display fire rate in shots per second rather than cooldown per shot.
Focus Gems have been updated to reflect the above change, you may need to unsocket your focus gems to fix their stats.
Red Aether Focus no longer decreases wand fire rate.
Aether Wand projectiles now have slight seeking capabilities and will home in on the targeted enemy.
- (Can be helpful when dealing with phantoms)
[Bugfix] Aether Axe & Angelic Axe should now work on cherry trees.
[Bugfix] Fixed broken "Void Negation" passive ability on the Void Dragon Helmet.

Known Issues

None.

List

Developer Comments:
Comment

True Aether Bow

PvP Damage Nerf increased from 10% --> 20%

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)

Reduced lightning cooldown from 25 sec --> 10 sec

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

No longer requires Dragon Shards to make.

Raven Wings

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

Focus Remover

No longer requires 1x Lodestone

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

(NEW!) Eternal Wind

This item is basically an unbreakable Aether Blade.
Great for mob grinders!

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

The second tier of Aether Armor.
A must-have for higher difficulty dungeons, especially if you use a lot of magic weapons!
Comes with a powerful set bonus: the ability to trigger a Mana Surge! Long cooldown, but can lead to some truly massive DPS spikes for magic users.

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

(NEW!) Sky Dragon Helmet

The first craftable Dragon Helmet since the third cycle! (1.15)
Grants you the ability to fly using our new custom flight/hover system! Great for builders.
As with all dragon helmets, they are extremely difficult to make, but have extremely powerful Tier IV stats.

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

Durability increased from 1024 --> 2048

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

Aether Excavator

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!

With new forge items on the horizon, expect additional balance changes soon!

Hotfix 3.4.1 - 5/11/2024

Patch 3.4.2 - 5/12/2024

Pack version updated to 1.11.168.

Patch 3.4.4 - 5/12/2024

Added 4000 point bonus to run-outpost for getting a time below 2 minutes. This should bump you up to 5 stars.
Added 7000 point bonus to run-outpost for getting 90% or more of all shinies on the map. This should also bump you up to 5 stars.
Added 10 second environmental damage immunity when going between worlds due to an issue where dungeons can spawn you high up in the air after exiting.
Finally fixed the target dummy to show actual accurate DPS (damage per second).
First hit will show zero, that is normal.
Resets after going 2 seconds without receiving damage.
Fixed some mobs' boss bars still showing decimal places in their remaining health.

Patch 3.4.5 - 5/13/2024

The new dungeon boost on run-outpost has ended!
Instead of increasing the cooldown like we usually do, we decided to keep the cooldown the same (1 hour) and reduce the loot instead.
New drop rates are as follows:

(Resource Loot Drop Amount)
Tier 1: 40 --> 20
Tier 2: 80 --> 40
Tier 3: 130 --> 60
Tier 4: 180 --> 90
Tier 5: 250 --> 120

Rare loot drop amount remains the same. (+1 per tier)
Reworked the rare drop table to make it more resource focused.
- Also slightly increased the chance of Aether Essence once again.

Thank you everyone for playing this new dungeon type so much! Expect more in the future!

Patch 3.4.6 - 5/13/2024

I have discovered that it is actually possible (with some difficulty) to achieve 5 stars on run-outpost without bonus points.
I decided to remove the previously added bonus points from Patch 3.4.4.
Why? I want 5 stars to feel like a special accomplishment and give that feeling of overcoming a great challenge.
To compensate for this, I buffed the lower loot tiers and massively buffed tier 5 loot.
New drop rates are as follows:

(Resource Loot Drop Amount)
Tier 1: 20 --> 30
Tier 2: 40 --> 60
Tier 3: 60 --> 100
Tier 4: 90 --> 150
Tier 5: 120 --> 400

(Treasure Loot Drop Amount)
Tier 1: 1 (Unchanged)
Tier 2: 2 (Unchanged)
Tier 3: 3 (Unchanged)
Tier 4: 4 (Unchanged)
Tier 5: 5 --> 7

Let me know how you feel about this change in #server-discussion or a suggestion thread! See loot tables here.

Patch 3.4.7 - 5/18/2024

Improved mana surge buff icon.

Item Changes

Dovahkiin Helmet
Increased shockwave cone from 50° to 90°
Added a short 0.7 second uninterruptible casting time to the ability.
Added missing "Fus" sound during casting to complete "Fus Ro Dah".
Developer Notes: Finally added the missing Power Word! To balance PvP, we also added a short casting time to telegraph your attack so players have a small window of opportunity to block the attack with a shield. We also increased the shockwave cone radius to better match the particles that are emitted when shouting.
Void Dragon Helmet
Void Negation no longer has a cost and is automatic.
Void Power now has a maximum duration of 1 hour.
No longer generates or stores Aspect.
Developer Notes: This is mostly just cleaning up the Void Negation passive in preparation for a future rework.
Buffs and reworks are planned for all Dragon Helmets!

Please remove and re-equip these items to trigger an item update for text/lore changes!

Patch 3.4.8 - 5/20/2024

Fixed an issue with the Outpost Boss loot table that caused a stone block to drop instead of the Boss Artifact in certain situations.
Fixing this required me to change the internal ID of all artifacts. If you have a Warden's Crown or other artifact, please ping me while in-game for a replacement as old ones are no longer functional.

Patch 3.4.9 - 6/1/2024

Increased the maximum chance for a rare mob to spawn from each mob portal in Outpost from 5% @ 1000% difficulty --> 10% @ 2000% difficulty.
Fixed Sky Dragon Helmet displaying incorrect cooldown for "Wind Shield" in item description.

Patch 3.5 - 6/2/2024

The /sort command can now be used in dungeons.

[Wind Shield] Damage increased from 12 --> 24.
[Wind Shield] Mana Cost reduced from 12 --> 8.

⋘⋘⋘ Patch Summary ⋙⋙⋙

May 18th, 2022

Greetings everyone, with us now being in the end stages of the Sixth Cycle, we have prepared a large patch with several changes. This is part one in a series of updates which will bring many changes to Dragonstone in preparation for the Seventh Cycle. These changes are being released early to give everyone time to decide on items to spirit-bind and carry into the next cycle.
As always, please report bugs to us via #issues or #tickets! We appreciate your reports.

Patch Summary:

Elemental Affinity improvements with more worthwhile buffs.
Balance changes and reworks for many forge items.
Item abilities now display which element the spell belongs to.
Improvements to item descriptions, added buff icons directly in item lore.
Aether Essence forging time reduced, more forge cost changes in the next cycle.
Complete rework of Mendstones to make them easier to use.
Higher tier Mendstones are now stackable.
Added /soul to view your forge stats.
Introduction to Paragon Items.

Coming Soon:

Lightweight Team/Clan System.
Turret Wards to defend your base from unprepared raiders.
Removal of the Peaceful Player system.
Brand new mob arena style dungeon.
Improvements to existing dungeons.
An actual use for Draconic Essence.
Portable Ender Chest.
New forge items.

Dragonstone Official Resourcepack v1.9.98

Added new buff icons.
Added some new textures for upcoming items.

Elemental Affinity Changes

Thanks to a new system, we are now able to buff Dragonforge stats whenever you gain Mastery in an Element.
Elemental Affinity buffs have been reworked to take advantage of this new system, providing more beneficial bonuses that properly interact with damage and stat bonuses from forge items.
As of this patch, the maximum mastery level is 25.
Click here to read more about Affinity!

-------------------- Air --------------------

Reduces anvil costs by 1% per level.
Reduces spell and wand cooldowns by 1% per level.

-------------------- Fire --------------------

Increases physical damage by 1% per level.
Increases damage to dungeon bosses by 2% per level.

------------------- Water -------------------

Increases bow damage by 1% per level.
Increases health regeneration by 1% per level.

------------------- Earth -------------------

Increases damage resistance by 1% per level.
Increases knockback resistance by 1% per level.

Some items can grant bonus affinity in certain elements while equipped, however this only improves amplification for spells that use the same element and does not improve the above stats.

Elemental Amplification

Gaining Affinity and Mastery in the elements will also amplify spells that use the same element, making them more powerful.

For example, an Air Spell such as "Whirlwind" from the True Aether Blade can be amplified by Air Affinity.
Having 25 Affinity will amplify the damage of most spells of the same element by x1.25 (1% per point)

The Affinity Bars located on the right side of your hotbar will display your Elemental Amplification, as this is a combination of Elemental Affinity gained from both your Elemental Mastery and from equipping items.

Thanks to this, as another example, if you primarily use Fire based spells and wands, it may be beneficial to pursue mastery over Fire as well as items that grant you bonus Fire Affinity.

Dragonforge Balance Changes

Global Changes

Removed PVP nerf from all armor pieces, including Dragon Helmets.
Reduced Affinity Bonus on most armor pieces.
Aether Tools no longer repair on kill due to making mendstones more easily accessible.
Unobtainable forge items from previous cycles can now be fully repaired with a Draconic Mendstone.

Aether Blade

Reduced PVP damage from 10.5 --> 9.9

Aether Axe

Increased attack speed from 0.9 --> 1.0
Reduced PVP damage from 11.4 --> 10.8

Angelic Axe

Increased attack speed from 1.0 --> 1.1
Reduced PVP damage from 14.25 --> 13.5

Developer Comments:
With peaceful being removed and Dragonstone taking more of a PVP focused turn this cycle, we decided to rebalance forge items to ensure they are balanced in player vs player combat.

True Aether Blade

Reduced PVP damage from 13.3 --> 12.6
Removed movement speed bonus. (10% --> 0%)
Whirlwind ability damage is now amplified by Air Affinity.

Developer Comments:
This item has remained one of the strongest items in both dungeons and combat for quite some time. We have decided to make some tweaks to this item to ensure it does not become too powerful with the new changes to the Affinity system. Whirlwind now scales with elemental amplification and cooldown reduction granted by Air Affinity rather than directly increasing base damage.

Aether Bow

Reduced undead damage bonus from x2.0 --> x1.8

Developer Comments:
The Aether Bow has been performing a bit above it's tier level since the last buff, we have scaled it back slightly to ensure its power level remains consistent with other items of the same tier.

True Aether Bow

Reduced undead damage bonus from x2.0 --> x1.5
Reduced arrow velocity bonus from x1.5 --> x1.2

Developer Comments:
This bow has been very strong since release, especially since the last round of buffs. We did not want to nerf the piercing as that is arguably the most fun part of using this bow, so instead we toned down the undead damage to ensure future dungeons don't become too easy. This bow can still one-shot many lower level dungeon zombies, and with Water Affinity granting bonus damage to bows, you will be able to easily recover the lost damage. We have also toned down the arrow velocity a bit out of concerns for player combat, as the zero-gravity arrows make this bow very easy to land long-distance shots with.

Aether Wand

(Red Aether Focus) Reduced damage bonus from 4.0 --> 3.0
(Red Aether Focus) Reduced PVP damage bonus from 3.2 --> 2.4

Developer Comments:
The Aether Wand was found to be extremely overpowered in combat with Aether Armor when fitted with only red focus gems during testing. These changes should hopefully bring it down to a more reasonable level, however we will be keeping a close eye on this item.

Aether Claw

Durability increased from 4096 --> 8192

Developer Comments:
Although this pickaxe is already very strong, it is quite expensive and still runs out of durability more quickly than we would like. We have doubled it's durability (for the third time) to hopefully make it worthwhile to use.

Gravedigger --> Aether Excavator

Renamed to Aether Excavator

Developer Comments:
We have decided to rename this item to free up the name for use on a future item.

Aetherian Vengeance

Increased vengeance stack duration from 7 sec --> 17 sec.

Developer Comments:
This weapon is fun to use in the nether, however we felt that the stacks decayed too quickly to be viable. This change should make it easier to get some value out of the Vengeance buff.

Raven Wings

Added "Ascend" ability (3✵ mana, 0.5 sec) which allows you to flap your wings to ascend slightly while gliding.
The strength of "Ascend" is amplified by Air Affinity.
Removed magic damage bonus. (10% --> 0%)

Developer Comments:
With the addition of Aether Armor, we have decided to shift the focus of Raven Wings more towards utility instead of magic power. This new ability will allow you to soar to new heights and conserve fireworks when flying. It is also very simple to use, simply tap your sneak key while gliding to flap your wings. Air Affinity makes your wings more powerful, giving you more height per flap.

Spirit Elytra

Changed enchantment Unbreaking III --> Unbreaking I

Developer Comments:
Due to the self-repairing enchantment on the spirit elytra, the item effectively had infinite durability because it would repair faster than it could be damaged. Reducing the level of the unbreaking enchantment should bring it more in line with the durability of a standard max-enchanted elytra.

True Void Bow

PVP Damage increased from 18.75 --> 20.0
Void Rifts are now summoned if the arrow hits a block or an entity.
Landing a successful hit will no longer consume durability.
This weapon is now two-handed.

Developer Comments:
The True Void Bow is an old item that some players were able to last forge in the Third Cycle (1.15). It has been out of rotation for quite some time, however we plan on bringing it back later in the future. We have decided to give it a small combat buff to ensure it remains competitive with the other available bow options.

Dwarf Helmet

Added "Dwarven Spirit" ability which grants you Haste X and a movement speed bonus.
This consumes 1❃ (Aspect) per second and requires a minimum of 10❃ to use.
The helmet generates 1❃ every 10 seconds and can store up to 100❃
Reduced knockback resistance from 65% --> 30%
Removed dynamite explosion when attacked.

Developer Comments:
The Dwarf Helmet is an old item that some players were able to last forge in the Third Cycle (1.15). It has been out of rotation for quite some time, however we plan on bringing it back later in the Seventh Cycle. We have decided to give it a rework to make it more worthwhile to obtain.

Void Dragon Helmet

Added "Void Negation" ability which allows you to negate the effects of Void Curse and instead turn it into a useful buff.
This consumes 1❃ (Aspect) per second while negating.
The helmet generates 1❃ every 10 seconds and can store up to 100❃
While negating, void curse depletes 20x faster and you regenerate 1 HP/sec.
Void Curse is turned into Void Power which grants a bonus to magic damage, dodge chance, movement speed, and mana regeneration.
Added permanent Night Vision.
Increased dodge chance from 6% --> 10%
Reduced max mana from 50 --> 40
Removed mana regeneration. (0.5 -->0.0)
Removed "Void Bolt" ability.

Developer Comments:
The Void Dragon Helmet is an old item that some players were able to last forge in the Third Cycle (1.15). It has been out of rotation for quite some time, however we plan on bringing it back later in the future. We have decided to give it a rework to ensure it's power level is consistent with the other Dragon Helmets.

Harbinger Horns (Paragon Item)

Reworked "Harbinger Bolt" (Paragon Ability) to summon an aqua beam that instantly hits the targeted location for 6 magic damage and x1.5 damage on headshots.
This consumes 5❃ (Aspect) and 5✵ (Mana)
The horns generate 1❃ every 10 seconds and can store up to 100❃
Reduced physical damage bonus from 50% --> 25%

Developer Comments:
Some tweaks are being made to this item to ensure it remains balanced but also powerful as a Paragon Item.

(Bound to: ImDummyThinn)

Storm Dragon Wings (Paragon Item)

Added "Eternal Storm" (Paragon Ability) which summons a powerful storm field around you which zaps and debuffs nearby enemies while also granting buffs to your magic damage, movement speed, and mana regeneration.
This consumes 2❃ (Aspect) per second and requires a minimum of 10❃ to use.
The helmet generates 1❃ every 10 seconds and can store up to 100❃
Dragon Wings (Ability) now costs 5❃ instead of ✵ mana.
Increased fall resistance from 50% --> 80%
Reduced max mana from 80 --> 50
Removed armor (4 --> 0)
Removed knockback resistance (50% --> 0%)
Removed mana regeneration (1.0 --> 0.0)
Removed "Infernal Strength" passive ability.
Removed "Smite" ability.

Developer Comments:
This item was reworked to ensure it remains balanced but also powerful as a Paragon Item. Previously this item was a bit too strong as it could smite far away players with heavily damaging totem-piercing lightning just by looking at them. These changes should bring it more in line with how powerful we want Paragon Items to be while keeping it fair.

(Bound to: METOOCOOL)

Usur Sword

Reduced attack damage from 999 --> 888

Developer Comments:
The usur sword has a higher winrate than we would like in competitive play, so we have decided to reduce the damage output slightly to ensure it is not as meta-defining, but still viable for competitive play.

Forging Cost Changes

Most changes to forging costs will be done in the next cycle. For now though, we are pushing the most requested changes immediately.

Aether Essence

Reduced forging time from 3 days --> 1 day

Developer Comments:
This was originally meant to be a sort of "pity timer" for those who got unlucky with dungeon drops, however with the loot pool being diluted by new items, it is quite rare to see one of these drop in a dungeon nowadays.

Mendstones Reworked!

All mendstones now work on all items of the same element, and will repair a percentage of the item's durability rather than a fixed amount. Higher tier mendstones will repair a higher percentage of durability.

Aether Mendstone ★☆☆☆☆

Repairs 25% of the item's total durability.
Can now repair all Aether items.

Aether Mendstone ★★☆☆☆

Repairs 50% of the item's total durability.
Can now repair all Aether items.

Aether Mendstone ★★★☆☆

Repairs 80% of the item's total durability.
Can now repair all Aether items.

Aether Mendstone ★★★★☆

Repairs 50% of the item's total durability.
Can now repair all Aether items.
This item is now stackable.

Aether Mendstone ★★★★★

Repairs 100% of the item's total durability.
Can now repair all Aether items.
This item is now stackable.

Paragon Items

In past cycles, it was possible for someone to spend a large sum of dragon shards to obtain a unique and powerful Tier X item. Only one of these items were created each cycle. These are now known as Paragon Items.

Once per Cycle, there will be one "Paragon Ascension" available in the Dragon Forge. This item requires a massive amount of Dragon Shards to obtain. The wielder of this item will be able to commune directly with the Aspects of Dragonstone, who will use the immense magic stored within to create a Paragon Item in their image.

Server Changes and Bug Fixes

Implemented a "Void Queue" system to help alleviate the initial lag caused by returning everyone to survival at the same time.

Fixed description on the "Aetherian Vengeance" claiming a 7.5% bonus chance for wither skeleton skulls, when the actual value was 5% rolled separately from looting.

Spirit Armor

Changed enchantment Unbreaking III --> Unbreaking V

Developer Comments:
Spirit Armor is actually retextured leather armor with the stats of netherite armor. However we overlooked the durability of leather armor being significantly lower compared to netherite. This has gone unnoticed for quite a while due to the self-repairing nature of Spirit Armor. We have decided to increase the unbreaking level of Spirit Armor to give it more effective durability to reduce the chance of your armor breaking when taking heavy damage.

⋘⋘⋘ The Nestkeeping Patch ⋙⋙⋙

November 14th, 2022

Greetings all, we have decided to go over some of Dragonstone's features and remove/clean up some of our systems to reduce the maintenance overhead and ensure that Dragonstone can continue to run in the long term without anything breaking.

We will also be slowly resuming production as most of the staff team have been on break for the last couple of months due to extreme burn-out. We will be returning soon as we get our creative energy back to bring you the next Dungeon along with the Hellstone Forge, hopefully before Christmas break.

Feature Changes

Removed the Auction House
- Instead you can now use /trade at an unlimited range.
- We may bring it back in the future if there are not enough shops for everyone.
- If you were one of the several players using the expired items section as storage, those items are now in limbo. If you need them back, please open a ticket.
Removed Combat Tagging system.
- We are removing this system for now as it requires several dependencies and is difficult to keep updated.
Added Honor Rules. Read more about it at the link below!
- https://wiki.dragonstone.pw/books/dragonstone-wiki/page/raiding-honorable-combat

Shop Changes

Shop Owners are now required to have their shop permits in a protected container in front of their shop stall to speed up permit inspections at the end of each month.
- Most permits were moved automatically by Dragon.
- You are now allowed to make protected chests in the shop. If you need a refresher on how to make protected chests, please use "/kit ShopTutorial" and read the second book!
Increased build limit of island shops upwards by 6 blocks.

⋘⋘⋘ The Calm before the Hellforge Patch ⋙⋙⋙

January 8th, 2023

Greetings all, after a long delay, we have finally been able to re-write some of our backend systems to be more resilient. This will allow us to create better items with less risk of things breaking between patches and updates. We have completely re-written the mana system so that we have more control over it and no longer have to rely on an addon that randomly breaks every couple months. We have also added a better cooldown display for several forge items. Additionally, we have removed the Spiritbound enchantment in preparation for the Spirit Forge and new binding system which will be coming in the next cycle.

Known Issues

Temporarily removed tombstones due to a duplication bug. They will be re-added once this is fixed.
- Keep Inventory is enabled server-wide until tombstones are fixed.
Due to issues with the resource pack, 1.19.3 clients are incompatible at this time.

Major Changes

Added Artifact Inventory!
- This can be used to equip new upcoming items, such as Artifacts, Relics, Prisms, and Mana Generators!
Use /mmoinv or /rpginv to open your Artifact Inventory!

Server Changes and Bug Fixes

Fixed long-standing inconsistent bow damage bug.
Updated MMO system to be more stable and future-proof.
Updated Custom Enchant system to be more stable and future-proof.
- As a result of this update, many enchantments were removed as they have not been updated.
Reworked a whole bunch of back-end systems to be more stable and resilient.

Dungeon Changes and Bug Fixes

Revamped the Dungeon Difficulty Scaling system to support increasing the difficulty via items and buffs.
Dungeon Difficulty is now a % based system that influences various dungeon mechanics, mainly the amount and level of mobs that are spawned by Dungeon Portals.
Each player in a dungeon will add 50% to the Dungeon Difficulty automatically.
Boss Tiers are now upgraded based on the Dungeon Difficulty. Please check the respective dungeon pages to see which difficulties each boss tier will spawn at!
- (For example, it is now possible to spawn a Tier 5 Boss in the Outpost Dungeon by increasing your Dungeon Difficulty to 400% or beyond.)
Items that can increase Dungeon Difficulty will be added very soon!

Dragonforge Changes and Bug Fixes

Removed the "Spiritbound" Enchantment.
- All Spiritbound items are now unrestricted due to the removal of the enchantment.
- We have swapped out all Spiritbound forge items in everyone's inventories with their standard versions.
Removed MMOBars due to it breaking in a recent update.
Reworked the "Tornado" enchantment to be more compatible with knockback.
Worked on "Spirit Forge" which will be used to re-create your past items in the next cycle using Draconic Essence.
Minor lore improvements/fixes to various forge items.
Added new stat display system in place of the old MMOBars.
Added new subtitle cooldown display system for many forge items.
Completely recoded the custom mana system so it breaks less often and gives developers much more control.
- You can now have "excess mana" where your mana can go above your mana cap for a short time.
- Any mana above your maximum will be dissipated at a rate of 10% per second.

Paragon Ascension Queue

The Paragon Ascension Queue is now full for this cycle, we have 3 players waiting to ascend over the next few months.

Reworked Vengeance Stacks to grant the following buffs:
- Grants +0.5 base damage per stack.

We have decided to rebalance the Aetherian Vengeance to be slightly better outside of the nether.

The Necrotic enchantment no longer functions properly and was removed.

Raven Wings

Added Passive: You take 50% reduced damage while flying.
The aether particle trails while gliding have been temporarily removed due to a change in the enchant system. They will be re-added in the next patch.

Tactical Nuke

Damage reduced from 15000 --> 300

Developer Comments:
This weapon was very annoying to fight against, mainly because it instantly broke your armor. The damage has been reduced so that it no longer instantly breaks your armor.

Mana Generator --> Pocket Mana Generator

Renamed to Pocket Mana Generator
Reduced ❃ mana regeneration from 0.10/s --> 0.05/s
No longer reduces max mana.

Developer Comments:
With the addition of Mana Slots in the Artifact Inventory and new Mana Generators to equip in those slots, the old mana generator has been nerfed to compensate for it's ability to not require a mana slot to function. Luckily, it no longer reduces your max mana.
