Patch Note Teasers for Monday 7/30/2018

[Sirsir]

Please see this reddit thread for the source. I've transcluded the post here~

 

So many clan improvements!!

 

Also, the buff to Erethdor's Grimoire will apparently make it the best-in-slot pocket item for melee~

 

Quote

Clans - Clan Broadcasts

Achievement broadcasts are now available for Clans!

• You can customise your Clan achievement broadcast settings in the Clan Settings tab, changes are automatically broadcasted to admin+ to ensure your clan can track changes.

• By default anytime a player in your clan triggers an achievement broadcast (For example, has received a spider leg top drop!) it will now output this to your Clan

• If you are guesting in a clan chat you will also be able to see Clan Achievement broadcasts from that clan in your Guest Clan Chat

• The clan's name will be shown when a Clan Broadcast fires, this can be prefixed via the Prefix Settings located in 'Chat Settings'

• If a clan member logins in for the first time after 30 days, a message will go out to the Clan to let them know and welcome them back.

Clans - Clan Avatar

• The Avatar Warden Job title is no longer required to summon an avatar

• You can now activate your weekly buff at your Avatar Control Stone located near your Avatar Habitat, once activated you can choose between a base XP boost of 3% which can increase up to an additional 3% XP if your Fealty is rank 1, 2 or 3 OR a Skill Plot Bonus which increases the clan resources gained from that Skill Plot by 50%, whichever buff you choose lasts a week and can be switched out and/or renewed at any time (Note: you do not need an Avatar out to benefit from either of these bonuses), however if you wish you'll be able summon the Avatar as a pet via the Follower Pets tab if your buff is active.

• The buff icon for a Clan XP boost now only shows one icon and the total % of additional XP you're getting.

• Clans with a Avatar Habitat are no longer capped to three Avatars, each player can now have one each if they wish, the Clan Avatar is now accessible via the Pets > Follower Pets window (Note: You need a Avatar Habitat active, as well as activating your weekly boost to see this)

• You no longer need to pay for Clan Buffs, as a result you will no longer be able to collect Anagogic Orts, you can still check them out in your Currency Pouch.

• The Avatar Gather resources action can now be accessed via the Avatar Control Stone at your Avatar Habitat.

• You can now customise your avatar options via the Avatar Control Stone located near your Avatar Habitat, once you've confirmed your Avatar changes you'll be informed that your Clan will receive your changes shortly.

• Avatars will gather while summoned as pets in the Citadel, gathering the currently set resource, up to a weekly maximum shared by the clan which scales based on the Habitat tier

(Note: this message appears once per login to avoid spam)

Solak

• Only 2 roots will spawn on phase 1 of the Solak fight, in group mode.

• Each Blightbound crossbow has a 25% chance of saving a bakriminal bolt when their effect activates.

• The blight percentage on phase 2 of Solak will now be drained at a faster rate. Should the hitpoints cap be reached, the rate of which it drains is then even greater.

• Blightbound crossbow drops have been made more common from group mode Solak.

• Erethdor's Grimoire is now a pocket slot item.

• Erethdor's Grimoire now increases critical hit chance by 12% and increases the damage cap up to 15,000.

• Torn grimoire pages are now dropped from Solak.

• The Lost grove creatures creatures now drop an Ancient elven ritual shard, which works the same way as the Grimoire previously worked (restores 37% of your total prayer points over 30 seconds, with a 5 minute cooldown). The drop rate is increased whilst on a Lost grove creature slayer assignment.

But why

So as to let you know whether it was a clannie or guest clannie.

 

It can be modified in your Chat Settings if one finds it irritating. More options are always good!

We will certainly need to test this feature on @Tristan to ensure that it works, as well as the kick and ban features to ascertain that they weren't broken with the update.

[AmusedDragon]

Interesting that the avatar is literally just cosmetic now.

 

Solak changes are welcome. I hope it breathes some life back into that boss.

Well that's a minor convenience since I got my skills up to 80. More capping likely in my immediate future.

We used to have them every week, then stopped because attendance was poor. But now that people have to cap for the full avatar bonus, it's a good time to try them again!

Yup I see potential in some new events here. I used the Citadel to get to 80 cooking, might use it to continue that.... Maybe

Not to mention the more people with Ava out in the citadel makes cap go even faster.
