  • Update April 12th, 2007 - Large Loot Changes

    Most of this update is behind the scenes, but it allows for loot changes to be more streamlined which will be noticed in some ways noted below. We will be monitoring the results of these changes.

    * In general, all Creatures have had an increase to their magic item drop rates as a result of the conversion to the new method that is level dependant for drop rates of magic items on generic creatures.

    * More Item types and properties added to the random item generator. Armors, Boots, more bow properties, etc.

    * Spittlefist Chieftain was the first to use the streamlined loot table system. As such he will now generate "Boss Loot" or much better drop rates on coins and magic items and such. As such, his respawn timer has been changed to a longer delay. Players will find it a rewarding process to do the caves in their entirety, but camping the "Boss" will not be an option.

    * Some creatures have been moved to the new loot system, many more to go. For example, clerics of bane will not drop super scrolls anymore, but some goblins will. Much work to do on this and balancing to monitor.

    * Razor Beetles have been changed from "Animals" to "Beasts". So they will now generate loot. We have made it so animals do not generate loot. That way people don't slaughter Euni's bunnies and get rich

    yeah! Finally, I can stop losing money in healing because the beetles never drop anything!
