Patch Notes - Forestry Profession Overhaul, New Equous Mount, Level-up Stats!

Added:

• Forestry Overhaul

  • All trees now have a chance to drop stashes on the ground while harvesting them. These stashes instantly regenerate 30 stamina and provide a forestry buff. Additionally, the stashes can chain into other stashes which provide wood, resin and have a chance to drop a new charm.

  • Trees have a chance to drop a fertile seed on the ground. Once looted, the fertile seed can be planted and will grow into a tree in 20 minutes. The tree gives more wood yield and higher experience. The tree can also be left for 8 hours which will make it grow into a mature tree with more health. The mature trees are not time efficient for the materials provided compared to the younger trees but are more passive

  • Added Hexite Infused Trees. Hexite infused trees provide more experience and loot than regular trees. Additionally, once chopped, they leave behind a stump which can be harvested for very high experience and wood yield. This stump ignores damage and decays after 30 seconds, allowing you to harvest it as a group. The stump periodically debuffs you but the debuff can be cleared with a new forestry ability called “Break the Roots”. Break the Roots has no cooldown but costs stamina

  • Added 2 new forestry abilities - Break the Roots and Hewing Strikes. Break the Roots is used in the Hexite Stump minigame to clear the debuff and Hewing Strikes provide forestry speed.

  • Added several new forestry charms and instruments

• Sailing Mini Overhaul

  • Sailing flotsam resources now convert into an open version of themselves when interacted with. The open resource can be looted by an unlimited number of players for a short period of time. This means that players can easily gather sailing resources as a group, similar to the uncharted shipments.

  • Also added some rare drops to the sailing resources.

• Added a Mining Quest to introduce the player to quarries and rich vein prospecting

• Added a new drop to the sentinel - Energy Crystal Fragments

  • Collect enough Energy Crystal Fragments and you can craft new trinkets at the heart workstation

  • 4 new trinkets are available. Trinkets provide profession specific gathering speed as well as a profession specific buff proc in the following categories

    • Survivalist Energy Crystal - Hunting / Fishing / Leatherworking

    • Stonesmith Energy Crystal - Smithing / Masonry / Mining

    • Verdant Energy Crystal - Forestry / Carpentry / Scholar

    • Landweaver Energy Crystal - Tailoring / Farming / Foraging

• Level up stats for all professions

  • When leveling up for all professions you will gain additional stats automatically, these can be viewed in the Compendium>Progression Tab.

  • Gain Power, Speed, Crit Multiplier for that profession with each level

  • Note: After feedback from the community we opted to not give crit chance from this. We are committed to make changes to the game such that no stats are undesirable

• Added a new Mount Type - Equous (Horse)

  • The Equous is a decent all rounder mount that aims to provide solid speed, storage, and off-roading capabilities without being the best in class at any of them. We see it as a nice second mount unlock to carry you through the early game.

  • Added a quest to unlock Equous mount (Taming level 22)

  • Added a repeatable Taming game loop to befriend Wild Equous

Changed

• Existing Mount Rebalance

  • All Nubi climb height increased

  • All Cervus climb height increased

  • Cervus I and II have massively increased item storage (more slots and depth updated to x10)

• Updated the levels at which a few mounts unlock to create a better progression

  • Nubi III now level 15 Taming (was 25)

  • Nubi IV now level 28 Taming (was 33)

  • Cervus I now level 30 Taming (was 20)

  • Cervus II now level 35 Taming (was 27)

• Equipment can now have a chance to provide buffs on hit.

• Reel in and Let it Run now have a 1 second cooldown and cost stamina to cast to hopefully help solve the issue where trophy fishing can spam you with debuffs that you can’t clear.

• Magnetic Rocks and Geodes from mining how despawn in 2 minutes up from 30 seconds

• Deluxe food duration has been increased to 1 hour across the board

Fixed

• Updated Empty Bucket interact time to 1 second to fix a bug

• Updated a few cases where you could previously “use hands” for crafting and extracting to avoid unintended interactions from profession power stats

• Update Vault Tooltip anchoring

• Fixed a bug with the crafting recipe for the Oyster Pearl Charm, and also buffed it

• Fixed the Level 50 Merchanting quest being in the wrong category
