Horizons: Live Maintenance 7/20

Additions

Community

• Owners of a consigner can list an additional 10 items over your previous
  item cap set by the number of active cd-keys applied to your account.
• Support for trade permissions on privately owned NPCs.
  • Please Note: All the items on a Consigner will stay on that Consigner
    even if the seller is denied permission to trade with that Vendor after
    the item is up for sale. This means sellers may find themselves unable
    to retrieve their items off a Consigner until it is sold or the 7-day
    deadline gives it back to them in certain conditions.

Formulae

• Added Expert Dragon Scale Pack Formula so that dragons may now craft their
  Tier 5 backpacks.

School Dropping

• A mysterious figure has been seen on the shoals in Dalimond Bay, just north
  of the lighthouse. He speaks of forgetfulness, and claims to be able to assist
  others in forgetting their past.

Trading Point System

A new Training Point interface is now available.

Select "Training" from the launch gem, or click on the training point
value shown in the General tab of the Character window.

Note the interface is in "work sheet" format, meaning none of the
changes you make will apply until you click OK. Buy back points will increase
slowly over time, even when logged out, but will never exceed a quarter of the
total number of training points you have ever received.

Training points are earned at a rate of 12 per adventure level, though only
your highest level will count. You can spend up to half of your training points
on any one stat. Also note that all previously spent training points have been
undone, as the new system is incompatible with the old.

Bug Fixes

Adventure

• Changed Bane of Chaos I, II, and III abilities are now unable to be removed.
• The Hangover augmentation will no longer pop up the script windows 'Headache'
  or 'Retch'. Instead it now will cause all actions by players to take 20% longer
  to do.

  health regeneration will properly begin
• Superior Resurrect will properly remove a death point from the target.
• Fixed a cause of more than one special attack's effects being used in a
  single attack. This was caused when using a special attack on a target that
  then moved out of range right before the attack completed, thus compounding
  its bonus with the next attack (special or otherwise).

  contents were moved directly to another silo.

Event Updates

The fierce sandstorm that has been occupying the desert just south of Tazoon
has finally dissipated. The howling winds, and devastating Dust Elementals have
burnt out their energy and no longer remain, but the desert is still bustling
with new activity. The sandstorm has stirred up many of the native scarabs.
These small beetles are now roaming the dunes, looking for a suitable place
to lay their eggs before they return to their nest deep within the dunes. The
activity in the desert isn't limited to just the beetles though. The Healer
tower has received word of a recently uncovered town of human statues. Rumors
are flying of an ancient myth where an entire town was cursed to stone. The
members of the Healer tower have dispatched representatives to investigate the
rumors.

To the southeast, with a suddenness not expected, the Blight surrounding Feladan
has considerably receded. Despite the mysterious circumstances, the Elves have
been singing their praises to the Ethereal Substantiators that were built recently.
They claim that the Ethereal Substantiators have fulfilled their job, and have
removed them so their unsightly presence do not mar the peaceful serenity of
the Feladan Woods. With the Blight finally gone, an Elven Shrine, and portal
has been erected allowing easy access to their fair city through the racial
portals. The Elves also claim that while most of the Felandan Woods were cured,
one part still remains tainted. This area surrounds the once active Blight Portal,
and Elven Guards have been set up to keep an eye on it. Istarians are advised
to stay clear of this area, the Elves do not wish to accidentally re-open a
conduit to the Realm of Blight, and lose their homeland again.

While the good news is flowing in from Feladan, grave news has come in from
the far eastern horizon. Scouts have reported a large regiment of meatblights
moving in from eastern continent, and setting up camp just outside of the great
wall known as 'The Wedge'. Upon receiving the descriptions of the regiment,
the Empire of Istaria recognized them as 'The Crimson Scourge', one of the first
Withered Aegis factions to cross over from the Realm of Blight, and into the
Realm of the Prime. The Empire fears that if these monsters have been dispatched
from beyond the eastern wedge, that their masters may be following shortly.
