Umbris Camp Re-Opening

Post by +Veritas »

Okay...my goal after work is to finish the camp and re-open it. Changes to expect...

-The process by which players obtain the artifacts/rewards will be done via quest holder books, exactly like how it is done at Sgail (Fel Skara Brae).

-Some structures will be updated, complements of +Nyx.

-Possible addition of newer units...haven't decided if I want to break these guys out now or for the eventual Britain series week-long quests that I am also working on...

-Will be testing a spawn system that will trigger certain mobs when stronger players approach the camp. Haven't figured out how I will be doing this exactly, but let’s just say...standing still and macro healing for easy oints won't be quite as easy as before.

Will all the rewards be account bound now too? and also will they require massive amounts of resource farming like the Sgail ones?
If that is the case could they possibly be improved upon? *nudge nudge* :)

I think you need to tell the guy who is holding you at gunpoint to give you more breaks when it comes to doing the content I provide...I mean this forcing you to do these areas against your will is harsh enough...at least provide frequent breaks.

The "Qizixs Footlocker" quest has been modified and is now called "Qizixs Foot Locker". The questbook is now obtained from the jailed NPC and not the quest giver outside of the camp. I won't put here any more details, but you can figure it out as you go through the quest. Reward is no longer dependent on the coincidence of it being in the footlocker. Go ahead and drop your current "Footlocker" quest books, as they will no longer be accepted.

Also, please remember to stay on top of or within one tile of the NPC you interact with to ensure you get a reward. A method of making sure you stay within one tile while the reward is given, is currently theorized and will be implemented and tested soonly.
