May 2009 Release Notes

Hello there and welcome to the Release Notes for the May 2009 event, Secrets of the Apostates! This month we see some changes to existing quest experience and some new quests have appeared as always. An old friend has put up his tent in Zaikhal, who players will want to go speak with. So lets see what’s new and exciting this month in Asheron’s Call!


  • The Core Jester has had his interactions reorganized so that the gives are the first action, this should help reduce the number of people losing cores from dragging monsters through the GY and then needing to heal while trying to turn in the core.


  • The xp reward for the following quests has been increased:
Fiun Healing Machine
Abayar's Laboratory
Gaerlan
Prodigal Mosswart
Prodigal Olthoi Egg Turn In


  • Pookie should work as before, where he won't agro unless attacked or ID’ed.


  • The Fiun Spellcasting Gloves are now enchantable.


  • A new PK dungeon has been added to the game, head over to Baishi to check it out. Just make sure you are a Player Killer before you try to enter!


  • The NPC for the Dreams of the Hopeslayer quest now makes you wait 13 days on turn ins. Also the pickup has been changed from a static flag to a 13 day timer.


  • The skeleton jaws have had their drop rate increased.


  • A new level of crystalline crag has opened up.


  • The Dereth Explorers quest has been updated.


  • The Monthly kill task has been updated.

Developer Comments

Spell Component Exchanger

5/15/2009 - Link

The spell component exchanger was something we had been talking about since the 100th update. We had been discussing on if a system like this was necessary and how we would implement it. Strong support of this idea from our players, both on the forums and in game, led to the decision to add this feature.

This was the most requested feature when players were asked in game across all servers, I wouldn't count that as spam.


For those who asked, this will work just like the rare exchanger but without the casino key. The cost is 1 MMD per trade, and all components have essentially the same chance of showing up (due to the math a few components have a .05% difference in chance).


We do listen to the requests of players. Some we agree with some we do not. A particular player spamming the forums with his particular idea wouldn't sway our decision.
