A Valley of One

An excerpt from the journal of Professor Ellie Rafkin, The dim light from the campfire flickered against the canvass tent.  In the still of night the jungle was alive with the howls of monkeys and the singing of crickets.  A gentle breeze rustled the fronds of nearby palms.  Even though it had been months since I’d left the Lycaeum, the jungles of Eodon still made me uneasy.  I had seen such beauty in the Valley during my time here.  Brilliant fauna gave Eodon character and intimacy.  Meandering streams cutting through the verdant landscape made it feel alive and fertile.  In the […]

Developer Meet & Greets

These are some selected questions from our bi-weekly Developer Meet & Greets. February 2016  1. Can you fix items that are stackable that won’t go on a vendor after a transfer? This has been fixed in the upcoming publish.  All stackable items that are not vendorable will be reverted.  It is much easier to handle this issue via a global fix than trying to do each piece separate. 2.  Why was the loot in shame nerfed in publish 86.3, why is loot on unbound EVs not as good as it used to be? The global loot changes normalized the distribution of loot across […]

Pass of Karnaugh

 In the mountains east of Valor moongate in Ilshenar is a narrow mountain pass. It extends all the way through the mountains to emerge a short way north of Compassion moongate. The way through is blocked at roughly the halfway point by a large building which totally fills the pass (118.44’N 20.48’W 1027, 273).The only way to reach the far side is to navigate through the building avoiding, or battling, its hostile inhabitants. There are two floors to the building and four stairways between them; three on the north side and one on the south. Zombies, stone gargoyles, lich and […]

  The Yomotsu mines are found in a mountain range of Homare-Jima Island, Tokuno, south east of Homare’s moongate and shrine (73.54’N 74.44’W 260, 783). There is a single path meandering through the rock, as the miners have followed the ore seams, with a few wider areas and small off shoots. No miners are found in the mine but they have left behind several stealable items, guarded by the mines current inhabitants. The first creatures encountered, close to the entrance, are earth and dull copper elementals with Yomotsu warriors; these roam throughout the dungeon. Yomotsu priests are not usually met […]

Close to the entrance, note the stone memorial on the left, ghosts may resurrect here. To the right, on a table, is the first of the dungeon’s stealable artifacts. Beyond the guard station the route ahead leads to Garamon. The dungeon can roughly be considered in […]
