Well, a few days before school start, so i better finish what i've been promising the last month.

- Added the basic ointment
http://www.uoex.net/guides/?19
they dont work yet, but can be found on felucca monsters as loot, so by the time i finish this you guys can stack some up and apply them.
The chances are, scripted: TokenRating * 0.0001, if it's a Felpar then *2 the chance.
So basically, one gargoyle in felucca gives i think 30tokens, so that's 3% of ointment drop if it's a regular gargoyle, and 6% if it's a felpar (15% of all fel monsters are felpars).
Dragons are nicer however, 125tokens approx, so that's 12.5% chance of ointment and 25% if felpar.
Ointments will also be able to be bought for tokens or loot.


- Added a new champion - Doctor Apocalypse. It drops neat loot for tamers and bioengineers. I'll let you find that out yourselves.
This champ is here thanks to Cope, who thougt of it, planned it out and scripted it. Thank you Cope!


- Added a new quest, details will follow... (probably within a few days if not hours)

- Yard wand - altho it's really poorly coded, it's a new addition to the functionaly here. The items in it are pretty expensive, but well, where else would we be spending all the money :) It contains alot and alot of misc items, trees, ground tiles, stairs... all of which you can add to your house or even around your house! It might be a little hard to dig how it works, but it works fine anyway.
Basically, you can place items 4 tiles south, 1 tile east, 1 tile west and 0 tiles north. So if you are standing at the edge of your house, that means you can place the items outside of your house.
To delete the item, simply doubleclick on it.
For now you can be deleting the items at free will and get full refund. But in time i will make it so if you remove it more than 1 day (or week) from when you placed it, you will only get half of the money.


Enjoy :)

The samurai quest is in:
You need to find a ghost that wishes to restore a family's honor, you will find him in a house on crane marsh in tokuno. Every time he comes, he get's killed, so to talk to him, you need to protect him agains the evil creatures around.

After that, you continue the quest at yomotsu mines, you need to get the key, and give it to the prisoner there - he will give you a reward.

Also, the prison guards (6 of them in the mines), drop tokuno arties.
There's 2 artifacts that can be gotten only with this quest, but i'll let you find that yourself.

Hey Colibri,
This is a fun quest.It was actully alittle more fun than I thought it would be.

I do have a questinon though.you said "Also, the prison guards (6 of them in the mines), drop tokuno arties.
There's 2 artifacts that can be gotten only with this quest, but i'll let you find that yourself."

There's artis on the guards?Moogie and I have been down there alot checking things out and no artis yet.Good gold and the two speceal artifacts, but no other ones.Is there a rarity or once a day spawn like in doom maybe?

According to the scripts, it's a 15/900 drop of a random tokuno arty . So basically you should kill 60 of them to get a fairly good chance of seeing one.

I think there's a bug here... it adds the arty to their equipment, and since they are already wearing something, it might not show. I'll fix this and it will be in when we restart the next time.

Btw, how are the ointments? Extremely hard to get or moderately hard? I intended them not to be in abundance, but since you need alot of them to fix a pet, they shouldnt be an artifact. Would love some feedback :wink:

So far, i think it'sa good drop rate. Not too hard, but u still have to work at it to get them.

Ointments rate is not too bad, of course i would like to get more then what i do, but thats normal for me :) I get 4 or 5 day if i work it for a 4 or 5 hours!, lol But it depends on what you kill and the spawn rate so may get more if i do harder spawns. I was doing vendors in Brit.

Thanks moogie, that's a great information. Well, not so great... 1 ointment for 1 hour is in my opinion kinda low, was thinking of about every 20 minutes. So i guess i will double or triple the drop (when i do i will publish it).

I've only gotten 1 ointment so far, but haven't hunted for them that long. Got mine in Brit also.

would be nice to just up the spawn rate, its really slow on here. I dont care to wait 20 minutes while a guard spawns :P

well, I thought a bit about where to test this a bit and 4th level shame came to mind. in 30 minutes I had 5 ointments from blood eles, which were giving me right at 100 tokens or just under.

I do have a bit of an advantage perhaps in that I can use 3 steeds thanks for the extra control slot (and many thanks to Moogie and Styles for the awesome present of the steeds). What I'm getting at, some folks may have trouble jumping into a small cave with 6 fel blood eles.

Now, I didn't test the long term effect in shame. By that I mean spawn rate. It's possible that once they spawn is killed out that it won't come back for two hours...of that I have no idea.

On a related note, none of the ointments I got could be activated by a dbl click. did I get decorative ointments perhaps?

for now they are decorative (so it's possible to collect them), but will work .. "soon".
