Undergrowth of Bittermere Woods - Webstaff on 10/12/2024

Deep in Bittermere Woods lives a witch who once walked Elanith as a priestess of Niima.  She discovered something so unique and powerful that the forces of Lornon sent assassins after her, ending her life in one swift stroke so that her discovery could not be shared with the world at large.  However, even in death, the Arkati fought over what to do with her soul.  Gosaena recognized that she was removed from Elanith before her time and thus would not ferry her to oblivion.  Lorminstra demanded she be returned to her body, a deed for a deed.  Luukos wanted her for his own designs as payment for her discoveries.


Unable to go to silence, warred over by winter and hiss, Naidem took her.  For years, decades, centuries, she was among the forgotten in the landscape of the land between.  Not really knowing who she was, but merely a fleeting memory with a single burning desire to rediscover what was lost.


And so, she moved away from the others and into the woods.  She tended to a garden, one that was so different from what she knew in life.  And created her trinkets.  These little things, these forgotten things, and slowly, her past life began to inform her hands, and the old, forgotten discoveries returned.

Haunted by the resurgence of how she expired, the witch was uncertain what to do with these things, these bits, this knowledge, and as such she decided to test those that found their way to her garden.  Maybe, if she could trust them with the beginnings of her discovery, have them prove through trial their mettle, then maybe, just maybe, she could trust them with the rest.

New Game Opens on October 18th!

The Roof Over Troves 

The private property trove will also be running during the same time. However, we have 27 options for it and only 21 days. As a result, we are going to move 6 items (the Artwork Add and the Mail Box Add) to raffles during merchant week.

That leaves the following in the trove that are restricted to Non-Bungalow Owners: Room Add (3), Shrine Add (3), and Workshop Add (3).

It also leaves the following all property offerings: Move a Property (3), Mood Messaging (3), Bird/Bugs/Critter (3), and Food Additions (3).

Once again, the veil between realms thins and the aurora-filled skies of Naidem draw near, inviting adventurers to wander her orchards, woods, streets, and river.  Some select few will visit Naidem specifically for the S.

Each lantern has four windows, that can be fitted with panes found in the various games.

Additionally, the Lantern will tell the Tale of the Ferryman when appropriately manipulated.  This tale is portrayed through illusions, shadows, and a disembodied voice.

Gilded Locus - Webstaff on 08/20/2024

The gilded locus is a unique relic that is capable of granting vast enhancive power. It is an arcane invention of a multidisciplinary scholarly collective that incorporates techniques of lapidary work and glasswork with complex magical infusion. As an intricate, artistic construct that serves as an expansive repository for enhancive properties, any two loci are unlikely to be identical in either enhancive inscription or in form.

Players can receive a gilded locus with +1 max resource of the player's choice and 200/200 enhancive charges for free. The max resource will increase automatically as the player upgrades the locus. A player can have more than one locus, but only one locus can be used at a time, and loci are account attuned.

The locus can receive up to 20 enhancive properties.

  • The locus has a unique inventory slot
  • The locus can be upgraded at each run of Duskruin, Ebon Gate, and Rumor Woods
  • Platinum and Shattered will receive a 75% discount

Pricing

The following prices reset each event:

  • Add 1st property: 5k
  • Add 2nd property: 25k
  • 1st property boost: 5k
  • 2nd property boost: 10k
  • 3rd property boost: 15k
  • 4th property boost: 25k
  • 5th property boost: 35k

(the first two additions a locus receives will start at +5, subsequent additions will start at +1)

All property boosts include the following:

  • The boost itself: the chosen property will be increased by +1
  • The locus will receive one month of enhancive charging. During this time, it cannot lose charges. This bonus is stackable.
  • The +max resource on the locus will be increased as a free bonus! For the first 50 boosts, the resource will increase at a 1:1 rate. For the next 50 boosts, it increase at a 1:2 rate. Then a 1:3 rate, and so on.

The half-elven traveler is giving away loci right now at Duskruin! She can be found with QUEST TRANSPORT DUSKRUIN, then one UP!

Necrotic Lore Flares - Webstaff on 08/20/2024

Rotflares can now be converted to Necromancy Lore Flares by holding the armament in your right hand and executing FLOURISH CONVERT.

Do I need to convert my subscript to a flourish?
No. You can leave it as is. However...

Why should I convert my subscript to a flourish?

  • In some cases, like rage armor, converting the subscript to a flourish will provide a power boost.
  • Combat flourishes cannot be added to an item with legacy subscripts (other subscripts that have been converted to Combat Flourishes), so converting your subscript to a combat flourish allows you to add more combat flourishes. Keep in mind that by default only one combat flourish will be active at a time. The active combat flourish can be selected via FLOURISH UP/DOWN while out of combat.

FLOURISH CONVERT, and General Flourish Certificate Requirements:

  • You cannot have the same script on the item as a script or subscript AND a flourish at the same time, or both the legacy version and the flourish version at the same time (Example: You cannot have both Lesser Moods and Least Moods on the same item, but you can FLOURISH CONVERT Lesser Moods to Least Moods).
  • Certain scripts like some historical morphing weapons will prevent the addition of Flourishes. If you run into these, please let me know and I would be happy to take a peek to see if this can be resolved!
  • When adding flourishes, certain flourish scripts may have individual requirements. For example, lore flares must be applied to a weapon, runestaff, UCS gloves or boots.
  • You can ANALYZE the certificate while holding your item while the certificate is for sale, and will see a message if your item is or is not compatible with the certificate.

What's Next?
If this rollout goes well, FLOURISH CONVERT will be updated to support Flare Affinity, Rage Armor, and Notrot Flares.

All of these will be available for sale at this Duskruin!

[DUSKRUIN] HESS TEASERS - Webstaff on 08/18/2024

HESS Teasers!

Some HESS teasers to hopefully tide over those anxiously awaiting its opening:

A couple of  existing services are receiving a slight expansion:

  • The X/day combiner service will now also work on X/day tattoos.
  • The convert enhancive armor accessory to jewelry service will now also permit conversion of enhancive armaments.

New HESS services:

  • Convert SK item to tattoo
  • Convert SM (Self-Mana) item to SK (Spell Knowledge) item
  • Add greater rhimar script
  • Intermediate transmute to lathonian leather  (This will be leaving HESS after the February 2025 run)

Upstairs HESS:

Please note that, like the wheelbarrow and other extremely high end offerings before, nothing in this area of HESS should be considered a permanent addition and nothing is guaranteed to return next run.

I don't have a full list for you on offerings yet, but here are a few things you'll find:

What is HESS?

HESS is an acronym for High End Scrip Shop.  This is the place that you can use your bloodscrip to modify gear that you already own or can build new gear out of ores.  There are a variety of things at HESS every Duskruin.  Somethings change out, somethings stay.

You can find the Duskruin 2024 August HESS information here once the shop opens.

Duskruin Arena is Open! - Webstaff on 08/16/2024

Duskruin Starts August 16, 2024 and runs to midnight on September 8, 2024!

What is Duskruin?

Duskruin is an in-game event that takes place in Bloodriven Village, which is located east of the Landing off the Locksmehr River.  The dingy town is full of thieves and scoundrels, merchants and salesman that all gather for the Duskruin Arena.

What is the Duskruin Arena?

Duskruin Arena is located on the eastern side of Bloodriven Village and offers gladiator-like games for individuals or teams to take part in.  A standard match pits an individual or team against 25 combatants.  For extra fun, there is also an Endless Arena option, where you can test your mettle to see if you are the best of your profession by going the most possible rounds.

What if I'm not the kind of person that likes to do battles?

Have no fear!  Not everyone likes the Arena and not everyone wants to spend their time locked in battle.  You are welcome to visit the Bloodriven Sewers, known as the Ratacombs, and search around in the muck.  In the sewers, you'll have up to an hour to do 10 searches where you can find unique items, Bloodriven Currency (called Bloodscrip), or if you are really lucky, a pet sewer rat.

What do I spend all this Bloodscrip on?

Everything and anything within the shops of Bloodriven Village.  You can see a full list of offerings on our player wiki where our GMs have conveniently cataloged all of the shops for you!

Someone told me there were titles, how do I earn those?

Both the Bloodriven Sewers and the Duskruin Arena offer fun titles that you can earn from doing runs.  You can find the full list by visiting our player wiki.

Duskruin Arena Titles

Bloodriven Sewers Titles

What if I don't like any of these options but I still want to earn currency?

Have no fear!  There is an old gladiator that is trying to get back into the Arena and he needs your help!  If you hand him a 25-count booklet, then he will trade you bloodscrip and even give you some experience.  You can find him near the entrance to the Arena.

What's new this run of Duskruin?

We keep a running list of announcements, new items, and releases in two locations during Duskruin Arena.  We have our Saved Posts on the player wiki and we also have a Read Only Forum post on Discord that we keep pretty up to date.

Not on our Discord Server?  Now is a great time to join us!  We have lots of announcements, engagement, and discussions that take place daily and a dedicated channel for Duskruin.
