Camelot Patch Notes

Straight from the Camelot Herald:
===================================


Dark Age of Camelot

Version 1.66zc Test Release Notes

November 17, 2003


===================================



NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES


- We have modified the Trials of Atlantis Options Menu to include 'Mouse Mode', which offers the same choices as were present in SI and Classic Clients for 'Mouselook On', 'Mouselook Off', and 'Mouselook Reverse'.

- Item-based spell duration bonuses no longer work for damage over time spells.



MASTER LEVEL EXPERIENCE CHANGES


- In a continuing effort to respond to player feedback about Trials of Atlantis, we are introducing a system in this version that will award Master Level Experience to certain trial monsters. To gain Master Level Experience from a trial, you must have already completed the trial encounter at least once and received credit for it, as well as be grouped with someone who still needs credit for the trial. Players who have not completed the trial yet will not receive Master Level Experience for the trial. Please note that you will never gain Master Level Experience for completing trial encounters that are for trials higher than the one you are currently working on. Also note that battlegroups do not work for this system. You must be in the same group with the player receiving credit for the first time.



SHROUDED ISLES WORLD NOTES


Midgard Quests

- Ota's Quest has a step which requires players to gain enough faction to speak with a bergklan pelterer, but it is requiring longer than we intended for players to adjust their faction. We have added an NPC named Pelterer Blegkrak to the entrance area of the big camp of bergklans, and though you'll still need to gain faction to talk to him, he is more willing to listen to outsiders than pelterers in the past have been.



TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES


Volcanus Quests

- The quest Magical Ingredients has been altered slightly. Players who have completed the quest are urged to return to Alchemist Yilanna in the Volcanus Haven for an extra reward for their hard work. Those of you still doing the quest will be rewarded properly upon completion.


Volcanus Encounters

Chimera

- It will now be a bit more difficult to pull the elite taur defenders away from Chimera's lair.

- The elite taur defender's chance to mesmerize players has been lowered.


Item Notes

- Lion's Fur Cloak can now be dyed.

- Lion's Share Sleeves previously had a Bonus to Healing Effectiveness value of 28% which rendered the item unusable due to the imbue value being too high. The bonus has been reduced to the correct value of 4%.

- Players will now receive the Archery Skill bonus when equipping the Cape of the Gale.

- Skyros's Sword in Midgard has received a reduction in weapon speed. The speed was incorrectly set to that of a two-handed sword.

- Multiple items in Aerus were using a non-functional requirement. These items will now receive the corresponding bonuses and list the correct mobs.
