Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.84a Release Notes
Untitled
May 18, 2006
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- The /angry emote text has been updated to be grammatically correct.
- The command "/gc who" now shows AFK players as <AFK>.
- The ability, Memories of War, was not scaling correctly. This has been fixed and will now grant 20% value at level 50.
- Fixed a discrepancy in how Dun da Behnn was being spelled in the chat window when targeting that particular outpost on the realmwar map.
- Fire and Forget pets - such as Theurgist and Animist pets - may once again be cast on Phase Shifted players. However, pets will still not actually damage a player who is Phase Shifted until the effect wears off. (Note: This change reverts functionality back to the way it worked before 1.83, based on feedback received from the player community.)

TRADESKILL NOTES
With this version, we will be starting the revamp to the tradeskill system. Due to the number of changes required, the revamp will take place over the course of several versions. For version 1.84, we will be focusing on changing aspects of the tradeskill system that will help us clear the way for the major changes to come.
Consignment Task Notes
- Consignment tasks are now available for Spellcrafting and Alchemy, up to skill 650. Please note that only a select set of recipes for each tradeskill was chosen to be given as a consignment task; the recipes selected share some ingredients, to minimize the load on inventory space.
Tradeskill Tool Notes
- The smith's hammer, sewing kit, planing tool, spellcraft kit, mortar and pestle, and alchemy kit are no longer required components for recipes. You will only need to be standing near the lathe, forge, or alchemy table if the recipe called for that previously.
Armorcrafting Notes
- Chain (Albion & Midgard), Scale and Plate recipes have been changed to no longer require liners as recipe ingredients. Due to this change, the recipe's ingredients have been altered to require the leather and cloth materials that were needed for liners (for example, if you needed 3 metal bars and a cloth liner for a recipe, you will now need 3 metal bars, cloth squares, and heavy thread instead).
- (Albion) To reduce recipe clutter, we have removed the recipes for boned legs, vest, arms, helm, gauntlets, and boots, up to material level 6.
- (Midgard) To reduce recipe clutter, we have removed the recipes for svarskodd legs, vest, arms, helm, gauntlets, and boots, up to material level 6.
- (Hibernia) To reduce recipe clutter, we have removed the recipes for nadurtha and daingean legs, vest, arms, helm, gauntlets, and boots, up to material level 6.
Tailoring Notes
- Liner and liner conversion recipes have been removed from Albion, Midgard, and Hibernia tailoring.
- Liner stores have been removed from all areas of the world.
- (Albion) To reduce recipe clutter, we have removed the recipes for boned and cymric legs, vest, arms, helm, gauntlets, and boots, up to material level 6.
- (Midgard) To reduce recipe clutter, we have removed the recipes for svarlaedar legs, vest, arms, helm, gauntlets, and boots, up to material level 6.
- (Hibernia) To reduce recipe clutter, we have removed the recipes for constaic legs, vest, arms, helm, gauntlets, and boots, up to material level 6.
Other Tradeskill Changes And Fixes
- Spellcrafting and Alchemy components will now stack up to 200 and weigh a maximum of 5 pounds when stacked fully.
- Legendary weapon components are now stackable up to 50 (Torch of Innovation, Cauldron of Vivifying Water, Vial of Heavenly Breezes, Dust of Creation).
- Many items which are used in crafting have been added to monster treasure tables throughout the lands (excluding ToA).
GENERAL WORLD NOTES
Classic Underwater Changes
- Continuing the project started in 1.83 in Midgard, the ability to adventure underwater is being added to the classic zones of Albion and Hibernia. Players will find that they can now dive in and explore the depths of the rivers, lakes, and ocean front that litter their landscape. Monsters added to the Albion and Hibernia underwater areas currently do not have loot tables; this will be addressed as the patch cycle continues.
- Boat routes have been added to the Albion and Hibernian realms for the classic zones as part of the underwater upgrade. The boats function similar to the boats available in the frontiers. Dock masters for Albion can be found at Cotswold, Prydwen Keep, and the Prydwen Keep bridge. Dock masters for Hibernia can be found at Mag Mell, Tir na mBeo, Ardagh, and Howth. The dock masters sell tickets for the following boat routes:
Albion:
Cotswold to Prydwen Keep
Cotswold to Prydwen Keep bridge
Prydwen Keep to Cotswold
Prydwen Keep to Prydwen Keep bridge
Prydwen Keep bridge to Cotswold
Prydwen Keep bridge to Prydwen Keep
Hibernia:
Mag Mell to Tir na mBeo
Mag Mell to Ardagh
Mag Mell to Howth
Tir na mBeo to Mag Mell
Tir na mBeo to Ardagh
Tir na mBeo to Howth
Ardagh to Mag Mell
Ardagh to Tir na mBeo
Ardagh to Howth
Howth to Mag Mell
Howth to Tir na mBeo
Howth to Ardagh
- Along with tickets to the new boat routes, the dock masters also sell a new water potion that will work for characters of any level. This will allow players to explore the new underwater content at their leisure without worrying about drowning (at least for an hour). The effect of the 'standard nereid potion' will last for 60 minutes and the potion has 20 charges.
- Consignment tasks will no longer send players to the NPCs patronizing the Trifecta Dealer.
- The available teleport locations used by the major porter NPCs have been standardized. This means you should have the same available locations whether you use the porter in the border keep, the cities, or your house. You will also notice the number of options has increased overall with the consolidation of the porters.
- The keywords used by the major porter NPC's have been standardized. For example, all keywords to port to your guild house are now just [guild] instead of [guild], [guild house], or even [guild's house] as they were before. As well, some of the locations will recognize shortened versions of the keyword for sake of typing convenience. ex. Saying 'Ligen' will take you to Druim Ligen.
- The following pets will now perform emotes as commanded by their owner: The Necromancer abominations, the Enchanter underhill pets, the Spiritmaster spirit pets and the Bonedancer commander pets. To issue the command you must target the pet and /say or /whisper the command word.
The word triggers are:
Dance, silly, pick me, stagger, doh, confused, tired, cold, stinky, look out, dismiss, beg, salute, military, present, shrug, agree, disagree, cry, slit, wave, rude, beckon, shy, cheer, victory, clap, flex, kiss, point, laugh, chicken, sweat, worship, lecture, surrender, forward, ponder and curtsey.
