Shadow DungeonBiome

Shadow dungeons make up floors of Shadow Tower.

All Shadow Dungeons have increased chance for better loot. Defeating monsters, Elite Monsters and Bosses in Shadow Dungeons rewards players with Shadow Shard and key fragments (type depends on difficulty), aside from gear loot. Elite monsters can also drop Binding Darkness and rarely Starfire Dragon Egg Fragment.

The post is quite long, so we won't preview it right now. Show


Geode
  • Rowan has been sending out an SOS, and the Trovians have responded! It's time to go visit that mysterious cube that's been showing up on the Atlas.
  • Geode is a whole new world with its own Hub. Explore the caves of Geode, meet new Companions, and gather resources to level Crystallogy.
  • To the East of the Trove Hub is the giant SS Solidarity that'll carry any Trovian to Geode - just look for the Geode portal on the ground or climb up the ship. Geode can also be accessed via the Atlas.
  • Follow the Geode Expertise Thread to get an explanation of all things Geode. It will start automatically the first time you zone in to Geode. All but the first of these Adventures will grant class experience upon completion along with the various item rewards.
  • Daily Bonuses do not apply when you're on the planet Geode, except XP day.


Geode - Sanctuary
  • Sunseeker Spire - the Geode Hub is where all the Geodians from the largest Boulder to the smallest Pebble have gathered to resist the Shadows.
  • The Geode Hub consists of four levels:
    • The 1st level is where portals to the Geode Caves can be found along with a module forge and module workbench.
    • The 2nd level is Crafter’s Commons. Around the edges of this level can be found:
      • The Crystallogy Center, where Sunseeker Lazul teaches about Crystallogy, an ancient Geodian profession
      • The Companion Ranch where Sunseeker Gabbro awaits to assist with hatching or training Companions
    • The 3rd level is Sunseeker Square, where the Sunseekers make their home. Around the edges of this level can be found:
      • The Reliquary Research Center for all Reliquary-related needs
      • The Bomber Royale Blastadium for all Bomber Royale rewards
    • The 4th level is Sunseeker Landing - access this area to go back to the Trove Hub. The Blue Transit Portal in Crafter’s Commons will fast travel right there!
  • Travel between levels using either the Transit Portals or the airavators (built with the new Anti-gravity blocks).
  • Three new repeatable Adventures are available from assistant Pebbles found near Lazul, Th’lan, and Gabbro. These Adventures reward class experience and Lesser Crystal Caches for the first 20 completions per day.
  • Sunseeker Spire is protected by a massive energy shield that keeps the Shadows out and the Geodians in. The surface outside the shield is too dangerous for Trovians currently. Once the Trovians are better prepared, they will be able to venture beyond the barrier and into the Geodian wilderness.


Geode Caves
  • Travel through 3 new environments to gather resources, upgrade new modules, and meet a new set of creatures.
  • Geodians are usually pacifists, so aggressive abilities are not allowed in the caves - instead there are Modules to assist in cave journeys.
  • The atmosphere of the caves is intense and difficult for Trovian life – no mounts, wings, or allies can be summoned in the caves.
  • Up to 14 players can be found in the same cave at a time. Players cannot be invited in to caves.
  • All caves have up to 5 tiers. Travel through airlocks in order to reach deeper tiers of the caves.
  • Look for signs in the cave that point to lairs – lairs can contain a jackpot of resources, sometimes including a Bronze Companion Egg!
  • All caves contain Gleamstone, Builderite, Ancient Gears, Day Drops, Moonlit Moss, and Wallflowers.
  • The Moonglow Grotto is a predominantly purple cave that uniquely contains Moonstone, Quirkstone, Lunarium, Dream Dew, Acrobat Bark, and Queen Trumpets.
  • The Sunken Sunvault is a predominantly orange cave that uniquely contains Blazine, Sparkzite, Everlight, Sun Sap, Cave Birds, and Fireheart Flowers.
  • The Verdant Veins is a predominantly green cave that uniquely contains Geminite, Chronozine, Mightstone, Cave Kelp, Cogwine, and Builder’s Blossoms.
  • Watch out for hazards - the caves contain explosive plants, fire flowers which will drain N-charge, and creatures.
  • Creatures can be injured, hungry, cold, or overburdened with treasure. Solve their problems to receive crystals or Lesser Crystal Caches!
  • Lesser Crystal Caches can contain crystals or (rarely) Crystal Pinatas, Drillbits, or Bronze Companion Eggs.
  • Drillbits can be used to craft the Bovine Buildmaster or Rocket Drill mounts.


Reliquaries
  • Reliquaries are resource caches which can be equipped while exploring the Geode caves to charge them up.
  • Reliquaries are charged up by feeding, healing, and comforting creatures in the caves.
  • After a Reliquary is fully charged, take it to the Reliquary Cracker in the Geode Hub to open it!
  • Reliquaries can have their chances of an uncommon or rare result improved through the use of Lodestars.
  • Most Reliquaries will take 6 hours to open, while rare Reliquaries will take 2 hours.
  • Accelerite can be applied to speed up Reliquary opening - each Accelerite consumed will reduce the time by 2 hours.
  • Additional Reliquary slots can be obtained using Space Expanders.

Modules
  • Modules are a new type of equipment that will assist progress through the Geode Caves.
  • There are 8 modules, and all can be leveled 10 times. Leveled modules are more efficient in even the early cave tiers.
    • The Geodian Acclimation System (GAS) controls how long the player can survive in the caves. Upgrading it allows for longer, deeper cave dives. When you're out of GAS, you're out!
    • N-Charge powers the other modules - upgrade it to stay stronger longer.
    • The Omni-Tool allows the player to harvest Geodian blocks and interact with cave creatures. Upgrade it to mine faster or further.
    • The Climbing Claw allows the player to grapple to any location within range or to stun cave creatures. Upgrade it to travel faster or further and stun stronger creatures.
    • Rocket Boots allow the player to hover or travel upwards to reach resources that might otherwise be difficult.
    • The Thumper makes crystals and ore visible that would otherwise be hidden.
    • Barrier Generator protects against fire flowers and other hazards.
    • Path Painter allows for marking paths. While staying on a marked path, movement speed is increased.

Companions
  • Companions are cave creatures who've been raised to assist the player in the caves.
  • There are 8 types of companions with 3 different rarity tiers.
  • All Companions grant various benefits when taken on journeys in to the Geode Caves.
  • Companions can be hatched from Bronze, Silver, or Gold Companion Eggs. Gold Companion Eggs are always a rare result, while Silver Companion Eggs are always an uncommon or rare.
  • Companion Eggs can be hatched in the Egg Incubator found in the Geode Hub near Gabbro.
  • Bronze Companion Eggs can have their chances of an uncommon or rare result improved through the use of Lodestars.
  • Companion Eggs will take some time to hatch - Bronze Companion Eggs will hatch in 10 hours, while Silver and Gold Companion Eggs hatch in 2 hours.
  • Accelerite can be applied to speed up Egg hatching - each Accelerite consumed will reduce the time by 2 hours.
  • Companions can be trained in the Companion Trainer found next to the Incubator. Training Companions will add new benefits or increase existing ones.
  • Any unwanted Companions (you monster) can be sent to find a much better, actually loving home by using the Forever Home Finder near the Egg Incubator.

Crystallogy
  • Crystallogy is a new profession found in the Geode Hub.
  • Gain resources while in the Geode Caves in order to level up this profession and craft all the recipes.
  • This profession has recipes for items to assist cave travel in various ways, including assisting cave creatures, tomes for Geodian resources, costumes, and even Space Expanders to add additional reliquary or incubator slots.
  • New VFX Blocks can be crafted from this profession. Add a range of vfx to a cornerstone or club world with these blocks.
  • New Anti-gravity blocks can also be crafted from this profession. Add an airavator to a cornerstone or club world with these new blocks!
  • A new Geode Biome workbench has been added to the Crystallogy Center. Recipe unlockers for the recipes on this workbench can be crafted via Crystallogy.

Geode Mastery
  • Geode has a new type of Mastery.
  • Acquiring items from the Geode Caves, leveling Crystallogy, or leveling Modules will all grant Geode Mastery. (These all continue to also grant Trove Mastery.)
  • Geode Mastery contains rewards to assist progress through the Geode caves – earn metamatter to level Modules, Eggs to earn new Companions, and Space Expanders to unlock additional reliquary or incubator slots.
  • Geode Mastery does not grant stat bonuses.
  • A /geodemastery command is available, similar to the existing /mastery command.

Leaderboards
  • Geode Mastery Points – Tracks total Geode Mastery points. The top 2000 players in this category receive a blue name color weekly.
  • Total Mastery Points – Tracks combined Mastery and Geode Mastery points. The top 2000 players in this category receive an orange name color weekly.

Bomber Royale
  • Bomber Royale is a new competitive combat mode that can be accessed via a top level menu item – it’s literally the bomb.
  • Up to 20 players can join in a Bomber Royale match, although the match will start 15 seconds after 15 players are queued.
  • Players will start on a glass platform that deconstructs, eventually dropping them to the actual map.
  • Bomber Royale maps are completely destructible and will randomly deconstruct themselves over time. The goal is to be the last player standing - literally!
  • Bomber Royale is completely independent of class abilities - every player starts equipped with Rubber Bombs and a Climbing Claw. All players also have the same health and energy amounts.
    • Rubber Bombs are a thrown explosive that bounce off the first surface they hit and explode on the second surface. They consume energy when thrown and will damage other players.
    • The Climbing Claw is a grappling hook that pulls the player to the target location.
    • Several power ups are available across the map:
    • Rubber Bomb power ups decrease the energy cost of throwing a Rubber Bomb
    • Climbing Claw power ups decrease the cooldown of the Climbing Claw ability
    • Health power ups heal the player when triggered - but also slow them down! Only one can be held at a time.
    • Lava Bomb power ups change the next 3 Rubber Bombs thrown to Lava Bombs - these will turn the area in to lava, including any water
    • Sticky Bomb power ups grant the Sticky Bomb on the first pick up, and reduce the cooldown on subsequent gains. The Sticky Bomb does not bounce - it lands in one spot and explodes 5 seconds later.
    • Bomb Jump power up grants the use of the Bomb Jump ability. Bomb Jump gives the player a little escape ability - use it to quickly blast out of the way or knock back an opponent.
  • The last 10 players standing will receive the following rewards:
    • 3 coins to the last player standing
    • 2 coins to the last 2-4 players standing
    • 1 coin to the last 5-10 players standing
  • The first player to kill an opponent will also receive a coin.
  • Coins can be redeemed for rewards at the Bomber Royale Merchant in the Geode Hub.

Inventory Changes
  • To accommodate the new items added in Geode, 2 new inventory tabs have been added.
  • A module inventory has been added to hold modules for exploring the Geode caves. Players cannot directly interact with the modules in the inventory – but can upgrade them at the Mining Facility in the Geode Hub.

Store

Rise of the Shadow Tower Update! Arriving on 9/15/15!

==Game UPDATE==

Lunar Lancer is now live!
  • This fast and foxy fighter can throw spears and grapple to them, support their allies by dropping an area effect buff, and (while fighting) can transform into lunatic mode – dishing out more damage and taking much less.
  • An all-new weapon, the spear is now live and available for the Lunar Lancer

Lunacy Pack is now live!
  • Pick up the Lunar Lancer, both costumes, two new mounts, and two store-bought legendary tomes at a deeply discounted price!

Shadow Tower is now live!
  • Use the Adventurer’s Crafting Bench to craft a Shadow Tower portal that can be placed in your Club World.
  • Unlock normal mode using a Shadow Key, and unlock hard mode using the new Moon Key.
  • Each Shadow Tower floor is made up of 4 Shadow Arenas, or Dungeons, followed by a Shadow Titan boss fight. Defeat each floor once a week for unique rewards in the form of Titan Souls and Lunar Souls (spent at the Shadowy Market at the end of each floor).
  • Hard mode floors grant a 50% bonus to damage to any class that is the only one of its kind. This is reduced to 25% for two of the class and 0% if there are three, or more.
  • Eyes of Q’Bthulhu earned from Shadow Caches increased slightly.
  • The Shadow Tower has replaced standalone Shadow Arenas, thus Shadow Dungeons and the Shadow Lair no longer spawn.

Legendary Tomes
  • Legendary Tomes are now live. These tomes are worth 100 Mastery Points and can be triggered once a week for a large number of resources.
  • Eye and Tentacle of Q’Bthulhu Legendary Tomes can be purchased with Lunar Souls
  • Chaos Chest and Dragon Coin Legendary Tomes are available in the Trove Store.

Deals Update
  • Rotating deals now refresh hourly instead of daily
  • There is no longer a $5 rotating deal and instead there are two $20 rotating deals
  • There are new, rare rotating deals, including a class coin, inventory space, Golden Chaos Chests, and more!

Challenge and Dragon Cache Update
  • There is a new Ancient Dragon Cache which is now earned through challenges and on the Trove Store. This has 3 times as many Dragon Souls, 2.5 times as many Dragon Coins, no eyes of Q'Bthulhu and 35% less Flux. It no longer grants penta-souls as a rare result, but rarely does reward 5 coins or 10 dragon souls.
  • Previous Ancient Dragon Caches will now be called ‘Flux Filled Ancient Dragon Caches’ and remain unchanged.
  • Challenges now only go up to rank 3 and completing this rank grants a full non-tradable Dragon Soul. Uber 6 now grants a 4X multiplier instead of 9X.

Baldness
  • Added a bald hairstyle to the barbershop! Go take off all that nasty hair! Designed by Mr. E.

Additional Updates and Fixes
  • Origin portals can no longer be opened in the Shadow Tower

  • Golden Thread final objective is now to hit mastery rank 20 and challenges now unlock at mastery rank 20.
  • Fixed a bug where inventory items could appear upside down, especially for Mac users.
  • Reduced the count of consecutive days logged in needed in half for the consecutive days logged in badge. Some people have worked hard to max this, but the barrier was just too high if it got reset. This should make it more reasonable to try again if you can’t log in a day.
  • Fixed extremely rare crash when merchant NPCs are attacked.
  • Custom keybindings for Flask, and adventure item slots have been reset.
  • Untradable Dragon Souls and other untradable items can now be deconstructed for 100 glim.

Looking pretty good Kaasislvs! Remember that these don't use dark heart quests, but rather regular and boss quests. I'll try to take a closer look at your files tomorrow, thanks for leaving them in a dropbox.

Your Shadow Temple was accepted, so that thread is finished now. Feel free to submit whatever other mad scientist stuff you have up your sleeve (and if it's a shadow dungeon, I'll probably fast-track it, as I'll be adding several new ones all together in the Shadow Tower update)

Fixed the wiki also, it was wrong there :(

After loading it up, I will say this shadow dungeon is looking pretty good. You have a couple problems with your starting/ending area, though -- it's missing several services and it's not sufficiently high above the red plug (although it is centered). The actual 'room' will need to be raised about 60 above the red plug so that players spawn inside it. The services required in the completion area are: Rejuvenation Station (/wadd placeable/refiller_healthflask) Trading Post (/wadd placeable/tradingpost) Deconstructor (/wadd placeable/crafting/deconstructor) Personal Chest (/wadd placeable/chest_personal_basic) Shadow Lock (/wadd placeable/portal/arena_shadow) Shadow market (/wadd placeable/vendor/shadow shard_01) Oh, one other thing - do me a favor and add some airvent jumpy blocks to the chain sections to make ascension a little more snappy :)

Had to move the blue plug to the center of the spawn room to catch the player's spawn location, but it looks good now. Thanks for the quick adjustment :)

Thanks for following the guidelines, this one required no surgery on my part! A+ would evaluate again.

Your starting room does not surround the spawn location in the world. It should be positioned in such a way that it surrounds the location 0, 62, 0 in the metaforge, or 62 blocks directly above the red plug. Setting this back to Active for now.

Unfortunately sir, you have not submitted a dungeon! This is a lone blueprint bereft of plugs or sockets, created without consideration given to any of the shadow dungeon guidelines. I would recommend you check out http://trove.wikia.com/wiki/Lair_and_Dungeon_creation for future creations :)

Would definitely like to take a closer look, please email your files to [email protected] or upload them to dropbox/etc.

Please email your files to [email protected] or upload them to a dropbox so I can take a closer look :)

Hello sir, please email your files to [email protected] or upload them to a dropbox so I can take a closer look :)

Would definitely like to take a closer look, please email your files to [email protected] or upload them to dropbox/etc.

If you'd like to upload your files somewhere or email them to [email protected] I'll take a closer look, but based on the images I suspect the artistic direction might not really work.

Hey all,

As we rapidly approach launch we have a 'burn down' list of bugs that we're focusing on. We've locked down our features (most of which are out to you, two of which are still on the way) and now it's all hands on deck to polish the bugs and fix the problems.

I wanted to start this thread for two reasons: One, it can take one to two weeks for our changes to land in front of you and I want to be able to be more responsive than that. Two, I want to make sure we're catching everything we need to catch by launch and there's nobody better to tell us when we're missing something than you guys.

Treat this post as a living document. I'm going to be playing with formatting, marking off what we complete, and adding new issues as they rise up.

Issue - Status
Lag and Rubberbanding - This has gotten worse, you're not dreaming. We're targeting both the symptoms and the problem. More info as we get fixes in.
Mount speed desync bug - Open bug. Mounted movement speed is the same as walking
Styles don't fully load - Open bug. If you open styles they don't fully load
Chat Polish - Open. Chat needs some love to be launch ready
Loot not lootable - Open question. Under which if any conditions does loot vanish or become unlootable. It looks like one condition is if it goes too far from where it spawned.
Club roster doesn't scroll past 50 - Open.
Ice shadow dungeon death bug - Open. If you die in this dungeon sometimes you can't respawn without a restart.
Failed to loot due to full inventory bug - Open. Even with empty slots this message will pop-up sometimes.

Dev Fixes - These are not yet live
Client Crashes - We fixed a number of these today on 6/23 - we have two big ones left. At least one of which we're trying to get in a hotfix this week.
Keybindings - In progress. Keybindings need to change the keys in the UI, set everything correctly, and save correctly
Desync bug with placed blocks - Fixed. Will go live 7/7 at the latest.

Fixed Bugs - Note: Some may show up here even if they aren't in the list above as we address them.
Rollbacks on server outage - Fixed. Live 6/16.
Empty chunks in world space - Fixed. Live 6/16.

I'll set this to design review :)

:P

Fast tracked this bad boy, it's going in.

That's correct, you want to make a fairly vertical structure that requires interesting but NOT TOO ANNOYING utilization of air vents and jumping. Distributed platforms with clusters of 2-5 shards...

That's correct, in the future Grumpntug will provide more biome-specific shadow dungeon color palettes, but for now we're looking for shadow dungeons in the four palettes provided (Desert,...

This guy! He knows. Do as he says.

They need to be doable with 2, but no reason having more can't make them easier.

The existing Permafrost-themed shadow dungeon was made by Cretoriani, the other shadow dungeon and the shadow arena were built internally.

As long as they abide by the guidelines!

The post is quite long, so we won't preview it right now. Show

A note to all creators, near and far, who have remarkable ideas for new shadow dungeons or Radiant Ruins lairs that have thus far gone unrealized -- your wait is over, friends! You can check out shadow dungeon guidelines on the dungeon/lair wiki. Radiant Ruins lairs are mostly the same as all other lairs, the only difference is the requirement to refrain from placing NPCs and to include the requisite Dark Heart Spawn objects.

The sidebar over at /r/trovecreations has also been updated. Shadow dungeons and Radiant lairs are both in the 'High Need' category (shadow dungeons will likely always be 'High Need'), which means that if we accept your submission, you'll receive 1.5x the normal credit reward.

Take a look, and when your new dungeon or lair is ready for some constructive criticism, head on over to /r/trovecreations!

The post is quite long, so we won't preview it right now. Show


Arriving on 3/18/15!

This patch features four new mounts, including two new crafted corgis and two colors of FriedSushi's excellent Cookiephant mount. There's also a few new Knight skins in the chaos chest this week from player submissions (Bone Knight and Elysian Guardian) which will come to the store the following week. Both have some great new VFX, helms, and weapons. Overall this week we've really taking adventuring up a notch with more lairs and more loot. There's the adventure box, more loot from dungeons, and just a ton more lairs in general. Read on for the full list of changes!

== FEATURES==

COOKIEPHANT ADVENTURE BOXES
* Cookiephant adventure boxes are live!
* These are a new type of loot box that will rotate over time. Once they rotate out they may come back in the future, but likely not for some time!
* They drop relatively commonly from monster kills, and only slightly more often from quest chests.

STORE UPDATES

* Chaos chests feature early access to two new knight costumes this week: Bone Knight and Elysian Guardian!

ADVENTURE WORLDS/BIOMES

* Should you get lucky and find a Heart of Darkness, the Shadow Market will gladly take those of your hands in exchange for some extra-shadowy goods. But what value do these hearts hold for this mysterious being? Should you really be furthering its possibly-nefarious agenda? Are you sure you want to be trafficking with beings of shadow...?

* Fixed a bug where liquid sounds would play infinitely after fighting NPC's in liquid.

Hail Trovians!

This past year we've gone from a game where I could log on and chat with literally everyone playing to a home for thousands of players adventuring in new worlds every hour of the day. We've gone from a game with some limited building and destruction to one with endless adventure, construction, trading, and a great community.

But we’re not stopping there. Not when our goal is becoming ...


The Ultimate Sandvox
Modest, right? Simply put, if there’s something fun to do with voxels in an MMO adventure setting, we're going to be there and we're going to be the best.

But enough about the past! Let's talk about the future. If we're aiming to be the top, what are we doing to earn it?


Earth, Wind, and ... Water
But not necessarily in that order. Wind first. We're adding wings (Gliding), sky islands (Radiant Ruins), and a new profession (Rune Crafting) – not to mention a new class – in the near future.

After that, we'll take up Water. Imagine an island kingdom, trading with pirates, fishing, “swimming,” and a Class that goes with it all.

Finally, mag rails winding their way through mysterious caverns sounds like fun to me, along with a helping of earthly features in the same vein!


Better Building
OK. OK. You builders are going to get love, too: more block colors and types, more mechanics, a few portals, and anything else that we can think of. And we also want to let you guys – the truly dedicated ones (you know who you are) – build even more of the gameplay. From end-game Shadow Dungeons to other gameplay arenas, we'll be figuring out new ways to open the game up to you.


More Adventure and Expanded Economy
You combat junkies need bigger monsters to fight, new abilities to wield, and more loot to earn! (These are the things that keep us up at night, too.) We also think it should be easy and rewarding for everyone to trade and participate in the economy, so we'll be creating a system this year to make the Trade channel simply a small part of a larger economic system!


Beta ... and Launch!
Our goal is to bring Beta to a close sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I want you guys to treat us like we're not. Call us out on what needs to work better, and don't let us get away with “buggy” when we can do better. Our primary goal is a fully-functional battle station. We're getting close and we won't rest until it's ready.

What is wrong guys... Avarem / Trove Forums
If you can log in you're patching fine.

The Shadow Dungeon rarely shows up instead of a normal Shadow Arena.
