New content and Functionality

With April 1st falling during the time of the March event, expect some fun and surprises this month

With the return of spring, we are seeing the return of the baby rabbits to landscape. Those little guys always like to get a head start on things.

Asheron has returned home and has once again made his island open to the people of Dereth, make sure that you stop by and pay him a visit.

Colosseum Changes

Some changes have been made to the Colosseum. Here is a list of the changes that have been made for the March event. Please note that any creature changes were only made to those who appear in the Colosseum.

Arena battle 13
- Replaced the second Carenzi fight with a Tukora Lugian fight

Swarm Demons
- Lowered the AL on Olthoi Swarm Demons

Golem Crystal Lord
- Balanced the Golem Crystal Lord so that it can be hit by Melee/Magic/Missile
- Rebalanced Golem Crystal Lord's resistances and AL, it should be friendlier to melee characters
- Removed the Crystal Lord's ability to counteract enchantments and limited his self buffs

Elite Guardians
- Reduced the Elite Guardian's regen rate slightly

Ninjas
- Increased the Ninja fight by 2 Ninjas
- Ninjas now wield a number of elemental tachis instead of just frost
- Ninjas have lower resistances now

Tusker Annihilators
- Tusker Annihilators have lower AL and are more resistant to Bludgeon attacks

Wisps
- Wisps no longer drop treasure

Thunder Chicken
- Thunder Chicken now has a visible electric aura
- Lowered the Resistance values of the Thunder Chicken, which makes it harder to damage with those damage types

General
- Corrected Colosseum NPCs use of the word "Dericost"
- Master Arbitrator returns your ticket if your fellowship already has access to a Colosseum Arena
- Fixed the Colosseum Chest. The chest should no longer lock itself before you have had a chance to loot it
- The amount of XP that the Master Arbitrator gives you for the Empyrean Rings has been increased
- When a Colosseum Arena is in use an Arena Statue appears behind the Arbitrator now. This statue lets players know that its Arena is in use and when used the statue will inform the player how long the Arena has left before it becomes available again.
- Alarms in the Arenas now countdown in a more useful way. They inform players each minute for the last 5 minutes how much time they have left.

Miscellaneous Changes and Improvements

Currently, players are locked out of the Lower Catacomb and the Ley Line Cavern when they have completed the quest. This should be fixed for March

Spring is in the air and the snow has all melted away.

The Festival decorations have finally been removed from Glenden Wood.
