After having a turbulent weak due to patch 1.9 we are very happy to have finished a few things beneath 1.9 bugfixing.


Item-bonus system and item level-restrictions

At first the more or less unpopular but needed changes. During the last week many players mentioned that some of their equipment did not deliver boni anymore. The reason for this is the newly implemented item-bonus system which was missing for a too long time. All "magical items" will be influenced by the system meaning that they will no longer deliver any boni if the item-level is by far higher than the players level. Besides we are going to implement an item level-restriction system. Usually top-items like dragon drops are items with level-restrictions. If you want to find out if your character will be able to wear a certain item in future we suggest you to look up allakhazams item database.


Trophies and guild houses

It took quiete some time, but now that it is done preperators/taxidermists in capitol cities will offer you their help to make a trophy out of some monsters remains. These trophies could of course be placed in the soon available guild houses - we're already excited who will have the nicest guild house.


General News

As you already know we are currently busy working on the horse system. Our primary question was how to categorize the horses to best fit into Uthgards concept and we are now going to give you a short overview.


Tier1: The currently known lvl35 horses. They will boost your speed by 135%, but won't be available within rvr zones.

Tier2: The thouroughbreds are the lvl45 horses. These horses will not be available within rvr zones too, but will boost your speed by 150%. You need to finish a quest in order to be allowed to buy such a horse.

Tier3: The war horses. Their name says it all - horses available in RvR zones boosting your speed up to 150%.Of course you will have to work hard for the right to use such a horse. You need to finish a quest in order to be allowed to buy such a horse.

Tier4: Magical horses. There is not much known about these horses and the chance to achieve one will be quiet low


Finally we want to announce the monster abilities. Players of the realm Albion have been able to "test" the new monsters. Soon these monster abilities will be introduced to the rvr zones, so be aware brave heroes of your realms.


We wish you a lot fun in game

Sincerely,
your staff

Great news! good job
Would you implement horse barding, armoring and saddlebags? (crafted)

Those horses are new to me so I'll have to see what becomes of that.

Abou the item level range; it screws up some bg char templates but I guess that's no biggie and it was probably needed so good job guys.

only hope quests for warhorses are not fg quests cause that would be a problem for lots of people.

Good Job. I hope because of that Item bonus, and many destroyed BG Templates, some morep people will come to the 50 RvR now, bevore making a new BG Sc.

Who will be the questgivers for t2-t4 horses?

You have to wait for the release.

unipony!!!!

well item lv restrictions could be nice to avoid ppl going into BGs, but for those who dont enjoy the zerg mode in the frontiers its a pain

i would like to know whats the level diference required between item lv and character lv, so i can re equip those chars that lost all their bonus
