<p>Created page with &quot;&lt;pre&gt; From: Rufus Title: Code Update 2020/08/14 Posted On: Friday, August 14 2020, 08:42AM -------------------------------------...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> From: Rufus Title: Code Update 2020/08/14 <br /> Posted On: Friday, August 14 2020, 08:42AM<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> TRADESKILLS<br /> <br /> - tradeskill-fletched quivers are usable in the aux slots<br /> - Arrows changed to -30, 0 and +30 (representing -3.0, 0 and 3.0% <br /> modifier to hit).<br /> - Added a new flag (mostly to tradeskill items) where you can auction <br /> or sell them in player shops, but merchants will never buy them.<br /> - You can search recipes:<br /> <br /> recipe &lt;tradeskill&gt; search &lt;keyword&gt;<br /> <br /> ex:<br /> <br /> recipe smithing search arrow<br /> <br /> Both the tradeskill and the word 'search' must be spelled out in <br /> full<br /> - Recipes can bond items to you. No, none of them do that yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> MINING<br /> <br /> - There is now a mud-wide way to disperse resources based on the the <br /> prospecting skill. These resources can be mined for ore that's used <br /> for smithing.<br /> <br /> - The wait on prospecting as you move is much shorter, though you can't <br /> follow anyone when you're prospecting (like being too encumbered)<br /> <br /> - Chances of finding things, especially in non-well-traveled paths <br /> is decent, though there will be some discovery.<br /> <br /> - Initially, only outdoor and non-water rooms qualify for the generic <br /> resources in place.<br /> <br /> - Both single-room resources and mines (small instances) will happen. <br /> These are not governed by any in-game system and we hope not to have<br /> to. If you have a mine, chances are you won't be able to fully mine <br /> it by yourself, so a little help might not be a bad thing. <br /> <br /> - You can find mines and resources with prospect that you cannot mine <br /> yet due to minimum skill levels.<br /> <br /> - Finding any mine or resource will put a recycle timer on you before <br /> you start automatically prospecting again. Even if you are set to <br /> prospect, you won't and will suffer no latency on moving while this <br /> recycle timer is in place.<br /> <br /> - There is some code in place to prevent mines and resources from <br /> showing up in the same location. Find one and it'll be a while before <br /> one can be found in that room again.<br /> <br /> - All the resources currently findable, once mined, can be bundled. <br /> You'll want to do that.<br /> <br /> - You'll be notified when a resource for that room is depleted. Mines <br /> have 8-10 rooms worth of resources.<br /> <br /> - Don't walk around randomly mining things. It won't cause things <br /> to magically appear like prospect will. It's still an option to <br /> find static resource points, but you'll just be wasting your time <br /> at this point.<br /> <br /> SMITHING<br /> <br /> - Smithing has 47 recipes that can take you from 0 to 100 skill.<br /> <br /> - You can make throwing daggers. They can't be wielded and <br /> they're almost as good as sticks (I can't beat 0 rent, sorry).<br /> They should be more accurate though.<br /> <br /> - You can make all the tools that you can buy for smithing. You'll<br /> need to buy a forge and an anvil (use the ones from Gunther in <br /> Freiburg) and a few other tools (buy his book!). After that <br /> you can make all of the rest of the tools even though Gunther <br /> has them all for sale as well.<br /> <br /> - Each tool has a durability to it. It's not in terms of damage, <br /> but another tracker. Purchased tools will last so long. Created <br /> tools by a smith will add their skill level to that default <br /> number to increase their durability.<br /> <br /> (in short: tools made by players are better)<br /> <br /> HOWEVER: There's no way to know how durable something is yet <br /> and the decay-on-use will not be enabled out of the gate.<br /> <br /> - You will be able to craft arrowheads that are used in fletching.<br /> <br /> - Gunther and his new associates carry everything you need to work <br /> your smithing up. However, mined ore is probably cheaper than <br /> purchased ore. <br /> <br /> You'll find things fall into a few categories:<br /> <br /> Tools (hammers, chisels, etc)<br /> Room Objects (forge, anvil)<br /> Raw materials (ore, charcoal, handles - which are made as a step)<br /> Molds (for casting)<br /> <br /> All raw materials and molds should be bundle-able.<br /> - You can use the repair command as though you had the repair skill <br /> at 40 smithing. You can use the repair command to repair weapons <br /> as though you had both the repair and forge skills at a skill of 90.<br /> <br /> - Smithing brings five new aspects to the tradeskill interactions.<br /> <br /> - The first is sometimes you have to specify two of the same object. <br /> If a recipe calls for 2 nails, you have to specify each <br /> individually:<br /> <br /> smith nail 2.nail<br /> <br /> - If you specify the same nail twice, it will give you an error. Some <br /> recipes in smithing will require two of the same object.<br /> <br /> - The second is recipes can now have items that are required in the <br /> recipe that are not consumed. For instance, many smithing recipes <br /> you must specify a specific type of hammer to use. You do this the <br /> same way you would specify any other item:<br /> <br /> smith hammer nail<br /> <br /> - When you look at a recipe, even if you haven't mastered it, it will <br /> show you the items that do not get consumed in both a failure and a <br /> success condition. If an item never gets consumed, you will see it <br /> in the recipe, always. That being said, some tools may wear out after <br /> a while and may need to be repurchased. This is a function of wear <br /> and tear and not consumed as part of the recipe making process.<br /> <br /> - The third thing is items that will be consumed on success but not on <br /> failure. An example of this might be when you're making a hammer and <br /> it requires a handle as well as a head, if you botch the recipe, <br /> you'll preserve the handle but you won't if it succeeds.<br /> <br /> - The fourth new thing is room objects. These objects are required to <br /> be in the same room as you, you'll always see them in the recipe, if <br /> you don't have them, it'll tell you that you need some exact items. <br /> You DO NOT need to specify these on the command line for a recipe. <br /> If you have a recipe that requires a hammer, a block of iron and an <br /> anvil, you would type:<br /> <br /> smith hammer iron<br /> <br /> Once it matches the recipe, it'll see if the room objects are <br /> available.<br /> <br /> - The last thing is that some of the early recipes never fail even if <br /> your skill check fails. You will still get the items that result <br /> from the recipe. (The 'conversion' recipes are like this).<br /> <br /> Other fixes<br /> <br /> - You can herblore potions to get their spells again<br /> - Balm can be used by mobs like the nurse again<br /> &lt;pre&gt;</div>
