4.9.0 Premium Testing Notes

• 3 min read

This is not a PATCHNOTE. It is a testlog, and everything in here is open to change before 4.9.0. Changes are put in bullet points for the purpose of quick testing.

The main piece of content being tested is Velmuth, which has been worked on by Waterfiend & BQ, and we're hoping the fight will be both stunning visually as well as awesome in terms of gameplay.

This is the first patch with Shmitty back on the development team, and they have been going insane on both new content and bug fixing. We're super happy to have them back and hope their hard work on fixes and improvements will be appreciated. (Over 50% of the bug fixes are by Mr. Shmitty.)

New Additions

  • Added multiple elemental sor and essence crafts.
  • Added Velmuth & Mirr. (/quake velmuth's cove, /spawn Mirr)
  • Added Velmuth LG and AR drops.
  • Shards now no longer drop, they have been replaced with fragments and one full shard "Shard of Sidon's Fall"
  • 1, 2, 3 fragment drops from raids, challenges and oryx - 1, 2 from everywhere else
  • Oryx Crate now drops 3, 4, or full shard
  • Ebox has 1 or 2 fragments, 3 (extra rare)
  • Added a vial button to potion storage ui. (WOOHOO!)
  • Added a new command /averagedamage (alias: /ad), works only inside a home or guild hall. It averages your outputting damage taking everything into consideration. It has two modes, the first of which being the default mode and the second mode having armor piercing. (/ad 1 or /ad 2) (Suggestion: Liv)
  • Added /checkaveragedamage or /cad which can be used to check your current /ad mode
