Bone Knight

70

Arriving on 3/24/15!

This week we are introducing a small preview of the upcoming Fish and Ships update by including a ship (and sail) in the Power Pack, through Mastery, and a big ship in the Chaos Chests. On top of this new clubs now have deep water in the Sea of Regret and there are new terraformers that can be crafted for this deep sea of regret (cheap) and a deep Sea of Tranquility (more expensive).

We're also introducing Chaos Factor which grants one chaos chest per day on log in per point. These are very hard to get. You can get one at rank 100 mastery, one if you have max mastery, one per $1000 spent (which you can now view via Glyph and soon in game), and chaos chests now very very very rarely drop a tradable coin which grants one.

Finally, we're running an event this week in which every Shadow Arena and Dungeon grant double damage to one random class. Have fun!

== FEATURES==

Ship and Deep Water Preview
* The Power Pack now contains a clipper class Trovian ship and Trovian sail. All previous purchasers will of course be granted these automatically.
* Mastery rank 70 now grants a clipper class mastery ship and rank 80 a mastery sail
* You can acquire the starter sail in the hub
* The chaos chest contains a rare galleon class chaos ship.
* Club worlds now start with deep seas of regret.
* There is a craftable deep sea of regret terraformer which is quite cheap
* There is a craftable sea of tranquility terraformer

Chaos Factor
* Chaos Factor is now live. For every point you have you will gain a chaos chest every day that you log in.
* You earn one point at rank 100 mastery, one point at max mastery (as long as you keep it), and one point per $1000 spent on the game. There is also a very very very rare tradable coin that comes from chaos chests and grants one permanent point on consumption.

Shadow Power Event
* For this week only all Shadow Arenas and Dungeons will grant double damage to one random class!

== GAME UPDATE==

New in the Store
* You can now purchase the Bone Knight and Elysian Guardian costumes on the store!
* The Chaos Chest has been randomized. See what you get this week!
** Look for a giant ship, a magical pet, and a bouncy bug.

Adventure
* There are now multiple starting zones in adventure worlds which are rotated between. This should make it much easier to find content near where you spawn in.

Mastery
* Mastery rank 100 now grants a non-tradable choas coin.
* Rank 110 has been added and now grants the wings that used to be at 100.
* You'll notice that post-100 there are no longer rewards for the middle ranks. We don't want to keep giving adventure power post 100, and are looking at some other designs for how mastery works post-100. In the meantime we'll focus on major rewards only past 100 while we work on this.

Crafting
* Terraformers no longer cost Glim and have had their costs updated.

Classes
* Shadow hunters will no longer mark allies.
* Candy Barbarian's candy now has a much shorter delay before auto-looting

Bug Fixes and Polish
* Fix for some club worlds not loading at all, and some loading slowly
* Purple and gold dungeon portals have more informative text on them
* Balefire Beast dragon form has had its missing thigh fixed
* Club worlds at capacity will now be able to add ten club members above the normal capacity. No more getting locked out of your club events!

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.
* They commonly drop glim, flux, and other adventure resources. Uncommonly drop random style boxes and eyes of Q’bthulhu. And finally, they rarely drop the Blue and Pink Cookiephant mounts!


== GAME UPDATE==

GENERAL
* Players now have 2 jump by default!
*Update to hub! Added a pirate store building, and updated the trending world building.
* You will now enter a hub world at the start location.
* Ally: Samantha has leveled up, and now has more stats.
* Fixed a bug where some players received "World not found" when invited to a world by a player marked as Offline.
* When leaving a world, you will now relinquish your claim to any cornerstones.
* We'll now drain the login queue a little more slowly after server updates to prevent what appear to be client lockups.
* Sick of your old, tired cornerstone? Use /clearcornerstone to get rid of all of the clutter and get a new, shiny, blank cornerstone! (Note that all items, blocks, and everything else on your cornerstone will be permanently deleted and will not be refunded!)
