Winds of Valen · published · build 24883747
We are very excited for todays massive update, smithing is getting overhauled to add more depth and to tie into future skills. Along with this we are releasing high level mining and smithing content in the new abandoned dwarven mining outpost. This of course means new armour set!
Smithing Rework
Smithing recipes reworked, anvil is now used to process metals and a new workbench is for making equipment.
Most recipes now require cloth or leather as base. This will tie into future skills.
Tanner added to Valen Gate who will tan your hides and provide leatherworking services.
Weaver added to Valen Gate who will sell rough cloth and provide tailoring services.
New tier 60 smithable armour set, crafting this might require you to ask around.
Crafting cost has been rebalanced so all equipments value has change.
Smithing power now works on all smithing facilities, hammers now provide anvil power which is specific to anvils.
Abandoned Dwarven Mine Outpost
An abandoned dwarven mining outpost can now be found deep within the caverns.
Added a new high-level mine. The deeper you go, the more valuable the rocks you mine will be.
The rocks in this mine are special, they deplete on a timer rather than number of charges. This makes it more friendly for mining with others a the same time.
However, this new mine is a dangerous place. If the mine collapses or if you log out/disconnect while inside, you will die and lose the ores in your inventory and your backpack.
New dwarven smelter, this smelter requires no coal to smelt bars because instead you need to provide fuel to heat the furnace up to the desired temperature to start crafting. Without fuel this furnace slowly cools down.
Additional Features
New boar enemy in birch forest.
New high level ore.
New silver ore.
New high level ore backpack.
New NPCs in Cavern.
New NPCs in Valen Gate.
New Essence Infused Coal craftable at Reduction table.
Important Changes
Due to rebalance, all but one of your old mithril equipment will be converted into the original bar cost to make on login. These bars will be place in your bank. This was necessary to due to how mithril equipment value has changed.
Steel armour set visuals nerfed. Steel armour looked too good for the level it was, to address this we have swapped out the model for something thats more practical and less fancy. If you missed the vibe of the old steel armour, don't worry we plan on bringing it back with at a slightly more appropriate level in the future.
