Including two spells: "Banquet of Boundless Power", and "Infinite Cosmic
Power"

You can now xp a test-Jinn to 19+4.

I anticipate this class going live after I complete coding their short
quest (class will be gained similarly to Gunslinger).

Please provide feedback in discord as you are able.

REMINDER: When the class goes live it will be renamed and so your testing
progress will not carry forward.

Please keep in mind there is a cleanup routine so if you sell many items
and reach the stock limit (400 unique items), based on previously modified
rules (see post 381), some of the items might be immediately cleaned up
and may not be available for buyback.

I just added "list buyback" option (for all available filtering details
please see "help store") - currently only for the Mainland Shop(w, s, w
from CoT), but if all goes well, it should apply to all shops across

If you rolled a 150 on your skill roll (roughly average at 200 skill).

Every 5 rounds you would gain: 0 to 3 SP

Meanwhile every round you were penalized:
About 300 Combat and 300 Awareness <- This is not a joke

CHANGE: NO PENALTY for being in Kukan-do
CHANGE: I tweaked the out-of-war sp throughput and in and out of war
timing slightly.

Its no mega heal but its probably worth styling to to get the warp strike

e.g., If you are now in drunken stance, your punch, kick, throw messages

]]> Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:59:30 PST /rss/changeboard.php/id/6894/board/changeboard
As some of you know, Guts has a soft-cap. When you reach this soft-cap
every points of guts doesnt quite count as much as the points before the
soft-cap. This is because it would otherwise be possible for ultra-buffed
characters to essentially take a lot of damage in very little HP.

Toxin suggested that I flex the soft-cap slightly higher each hero level.
Because otherwise when you soft-cap you never see notable improvement in
the skill throughout the rest of its life.
This seemed like a good idea. So it has been implemented.

to give bonus' and be beneficial to certain subclasses, by providing
bonus' to things that you cant otherwise find a bonus to directly
in the game.

You also would have noticed that two items of a healing nature were
broke. Thanks to the advent of AI and the fact that it has bothered
me for years that I couldnt figure out why they were broke and just
pencil whipped them in anyways, I have now fixed these items.

Not that any of you will go explore this masterpiece of an area for

I might add), but nonetheless it is one more thing off the list.

All joking digs aside on you guys not going there, I fixed these

LOOT generated on kill has the best chance of higher rarities and I have

Going forward, if you kill a monster that is more than 5 levels below you,
any ADD_EQ it may have had will be destroyed. This is in line with the
current system where you do not get gold or loot drops from monsters more
than 5 levels below you.

The Native "destruct" skill now gets a bonus from the total

to destruct more powerful items. There's a hidden mechanic
that items have behind the scenes called "ego", and when this

Anyhow, this new bonus will help you to overcome that,

This change has been reverted and the old system re-implemented but with a
"Chaitan TM" Curve for healing instead similar to how old kegs worked -
eat multiple in a short window and receive reduced healing. Please test it

To skin jerky, you now have to "prep" them with danar first in the guild,
by "offer"ing corpses to him, he'll then prep them for you and then you
can "do skin food" - you'll get more jerky per corpses but now requires
you to be in his room and it'll be a guild effort to store as many corpses

Aurumvorax has been given a "refresh" to make it a bit simpler
to play. Three main changes were made:

1. There is no longer the concept of "absorbing" the gold/coins
you have consumed. As soon as you eat them, they immediately
count towards your next growth stage (assuming you haven't hit
the max for your current player level already).

2. Aurumvorae are no longer restricted to a single gold vein bonus
at a time. Now gold veins from all climates can be consumed
without undoing each other's effects, building their respective
bonuses in parallel. So just dig and consume with reckless
abandon!

3. The total amount of gold/coins you have consumed (whether they
counted towards a growth stage or not) will now provide a
diminishing-returns bonus to all attack skills: clamp, collide,
fury, grate and pounce. This bonus is *very* slow to accumulate,
but will give you something to keep grinding at the higher hero
levels, perhaps.

If you run into any bugs, let me know.

Today, with your help, I identified circumstances where a room would clean
itself and destroy the pillaging camp.

When this happened you would become disconnected and some of your items
would be deleted.

Ive changed some things and so-far my Barbarian has been idling in his
pillaging camp for nearly 2 hours with no issues.

So I believe its mostly safe to idle in them but let me know if things
dont work out.

NOTE: If you leave the camp for any reason (including link death) your
camp is destroyed and your items are dropped in the room where you last
were. Without the camp present the room will continue to clean itself
every 20m or so. And so you could definately lose items on the ground in
your camp because they would be tossed outside when the camp collapses and
then later cleaned. So PLEASE dont consider your camp to be like your
house. It is a temporary structure.

I have also tested disconnecting in your camp. Going link dead in the
camp. And idling in the camp for 2 hours today.

All appears to be working as intended.

Crusaders and Shamans now have a new feature added to their respective
resurrection skills: "auto". If you "pray resurrect auto" or "sing
rebirth auto", it will toggle a new EXPERIMENTAL bit of functionality
called "auto-rez". While enabled, your Crusader or Shaman will attempt
to resurrect any ghost that enters the room in which you are located.
All the normal restrictions apply (mainly permit concerns). If the
resurrection succeeds, your character will then auto-rest to recover
the spent spell points. Obviously only one ghost can be rezzed at a
time, so if two ghosts enter, one will get rezzed first, etc. If you
have auto-rez enabled, "pray resurrect auto" or "sing rebirth auto"
will turn it off.

Let's see how this goes and how well it is received by the playerbase.

old Valentinus. Now you can be just like his punk ass!

The minimum amount of materia that channeling/skinning/burying
a corpse can give you has been raised from 1 to 5. For full
disclosure: the formula used to be 1 materia for every level of
the corpse. So this new approach just means that level 1-5 mobs
now all give 5 materia, but otherwise the level-to-materia formula
remains the same. This should help lowbie Shamans get started,
without having to buy loads of low-level materia from the NPC
merchant outside of the Native guild.

Cheers,
Marisil
]]> Sat, 04 Apr 2026 11:37:01 PST /rss/changeboard.php/id/6805/board/changeboard
All Shaman skills/songs that use materia now allow for you to
forgo explicitly specifying a materia type when you use them.
If you omit a materia, the skill/song will automatically pick
the best type for the skill/song that you have available.
This should make Shamans easier to play without having to
necessarily worry about skill/song and materia combinations.
As long as you don't spend materia like a maniac without
killing anything, you shouldn't really run the risk of running
out of materia. Of course, as has always been the case, you
have to be killing mobs that provide the tier of materia that
your songs/skills are using, regardless of whether you specify
the exact materia or let the song/skill auto-select it for you.

There is one song that is an exception: rebirth. It has a
dynamic materia cost which makes calculating an auto-selected
materia a bit more difficult code-wise. I'll try to look into
that, but in full disclosure, there are only two materia that
give it a boost anyhow: roagmo and efantig (efantig being a
stronger boost). So just set your alias to explicitly use one
of the two and forget about it. :)

On a final note, all Shaman songs/skills that were affected by
this change have been converted to a new skill system known as
"gen_skill". All "modern" skills use this system, and we have
been slowly moving "legacy" skills into the new paradigm for,
well...a decade or two. Anyhow, I mention this because while
in theory this shouldn't change the skill's behavior from the
standpoint of the player using it, in practice it sometimes
does. Namely, it can alter the range of the "roll" (think of
dice) of the skill level whenever the skill is used (in
comparison to what used to "roll" with the old system. So
after converting these Shaman songs/skills, don't be surprised
if things seem either underpowered or overpowered at first.
It might take a bit of playtime for me to smooth out the rough
edges.

I have completed functionality work on the Jinn subclass. Now for the hard
part -- testing.


CLASS NOTES

This will be a class that unlocks via achievement after a small quest.
Similar to Gunslinger.

RULES FOR TESTING

When testing is complete the class will be renamed to Djinn. So all
current Jinns will no longer be able to login that character without a
reincarnation. This mitigates the risk of test settings or funkiness
carrying over.

I am not ruling out the potential for rewarding testers but I dont want
the expectation to be walking away with a hero carried on the back of bugs
and mis-tuned test skills.

We will be testing in phases. Phase 1 is levels 1 to 10. Once you hit
level 10 you will not be able to progress. So no need to rush. Make
multiple Jinns. Provide feedback. Once we love levels 1 to 10 then we will
go higher.


IF YOU WANT TO TEST

You must message me (Burlok) on DISCORD. Which means adding me as a friend
first. When you make a friend request please send me a tell in-game with
your discord handle so I know you are not cat fishing me.

There is a PRIVATE SECTION for Jinn Testing where I have put testing
instructions as well as a chat. I will add you to this EXCLUSIVE CLUB once
I set you up for testing. TEST FEEDBACK SHOULD BE PLUGGED INTO DISCORD.

Cheers.

In furtherance of efforts to improve Shaman QoL, the season's fury song
has been moved into the "gen_skill" framework that we use for most modern
skills. You probably won't notice a difference there, but that's not
really the point if this post. In the process of converting the song, I
also changed the way it acts if you do not provide an explicit materia to
use as you sing it. Should you leave out a specific materia, i.e.
"sing season's fury smurf", the skill will now automatically determine
which materia is best for the current season, and, if you have it, will
use that materia. If you don't have the best one, then it will use the
second best, and so. This should help take the guess work out of using
the song. Note that this always *excludes* omatim materia in its

As some will lament a couple of years ago I disabled banding when I began
working on pillaging.

I have - today - hopefully made it where partied natives will now all get
pillaging points and spoils.

I have also - hopefully - fixed conditions where beastmaster pets would
get kills and so the beastmaster would not get the pillaging points.

What does this mean? Native parties probably snowball ridiculously.

Test it for me! Show Ghyath that Natives are not underwhelming at all!

The fighter guild has formally opened the new Mercenary
Recruitment Office, now overseen by David the Field Marshal.

This office serves as a dedicated command hub for warlords
to contract trained support under clear terms of coin, rank,
and readiness. Contracts are processed through disciplined
intake, with recruits assigned by subclass and delivered on
schedule according to the standing enlist framework.

Purpose:

Centralise warlord recruitment into a single, structured office
Provide reliable subclass hiring with level-based cost and preparation
time
Compensate the removal/change to class mazes
Enlist merc is still available

Prices and order times may vary, at the moment I feel they are modest.

If anything breaks we know who to blame...

chat Yeah.
I also added a soft-cap to forge. The soft cap is high enough it wont

Shamans now earn a materia-gain bonus based on their current total
"destructed" value. "Destructed" is incremented whenever you use the
"destruct" skill to destroy a MAGIC item (this is how it has always
worked, just repeating it here). As the Shaman destroys such items
over time, he or she will gradually earn a +X% bonus to all materia
gain, which will be displayed in "score" in the "Destructed" field.
For full disclosure, here is the formula:

x = total_destructed / 2000
x = log(x^(x^0.22))

Here's the bonus curve, given x, from 1 to 2500:

From time to time people complain about how disarm functions. Essentially,
requiring the player to manually rewield meanwhile npcs automatically
rewield as if they were never disarmed at all.


Ive put a new version of disarm into testing that handles the situation a
bit more like a debuff than actual manipulation of the weapon object.

Looking for feedback on this change. Currently the number of rounds
disarmed will be roughly 4. Sometimes less. Sometimes more. Depending on
skill roll.

Ive only implemented this for the disarm skill and mesmerizes unwield

If the change is agreeable Ill look at rolling it out further.

Dracolich blight spell will no longer destroy heals on the

There was a bug in the code for the Hunter Snipe skill which
checked the target's "perception" skill level when
considering whether the first shot against that target
catches them off-guard. There is no such thing as the
"perception" skill, so this has been changed to be
"awareness", which is what the coder probably intended
. Before this was fixed, every initial snipe shot was
getting bonus damage, which is not what we intended. The

After some discussion with the resident Bug monk. It was realised that one
of the imbues actually had an issue which caused the other elements to
fire more rapidly and uncontrollably. This issue has been fixed/patched,
but the chance to proc is now much better (twice better to be preciseish)
and in doing so, I've lowered the amount of areas/notches needed to get
the next imbue, you can find it out at help monk stick or read below.



Imbue unlocks (by notches / explored locations)
-----------------------------------------------
Your stick level increases once for every 3 explored locations notched
onto the stick. This means imbues unlock at specific notch totals:

Fire: 9+ locations
Lightning: 24+ locations
Ice: 51+ locations
Acid: 81+ locations
Poison: 99+ locations
Holy: 120+ locations

Tip: If you are just short of an unlock, you usually only need a couple
more explored locations to push your stick level over the next threshold.




As usual if I broke something (It's me, so probability is high) please let

I created a fun little Tower Defence game in the arcade (2d 2w u from CoT)
- It's not a super intensive game but its a fun little interactive thing
if you want something to do while bored.

The old fighter mazes have been retired and replaced with a new dungeon
built for pure combat progression: The Iron Proving Hall.
This is a level 30 dungeon packed with fighter-type enemies and it follows
the same rules as Aincrad.

Clear the room to advance: the next room won?t open up until everything in
the current room is dead.
No dipping out: if anyone leaves the dungeon, the run resets and it will
need to be started again from the beginning.

Boss + Loot
The final boss has a chance to drop a Tier set piece for fighter
subclasses. If you want fighter gear, this is the new proving ground.
If you were farming the old fighter mazes, this is the replacement. Bring
a proper build, bring sustain, and commit to the run, because the hall
doesn?t care how close you were.


I'll await feedback before I start working on the other Class Mazes but I
can guarantee it'll be worth it when you eventually get a 4 piece.

This is still true EXCEPT a worm gets 8 rounds before the sp drain kicks
in.

A worm currently auto-tunnels after each kill (plunging back beneath the
ground) and the sp cost was completely justified since people were idling
but by giving a grace period of a few rounds a worm is able to burst from
the ground to swallow its foes still without having an additional xp cost
for being cinematic.

Hey everyone,

I?m opening up invite testing for a new work-in-progress class:
Deathknight2.

This isn?t replacing anything yet, but it?s the start of a modern
?expansion-grade? DK-style kit, with a clean gameplay loop and strong spec
identity. If testing goes well, this could become a full new
class/subclass option going forward.

What it?s about

Runic Power is real gameplay (build it, spend it, manage it)

Frost + Unholy presences you can swap between

Procs that should feel obvious and exciting (not background RNG)

Room effects that behave properly (persist, tick, don?t stack infinitely)

Current kit in testing

Frost

Obliterate (generator)

Howling Blast + Frost Strike (spenders)

Killing Machine + Rime procs

Frost Fever status

Unholy

Rotrend (generator)

Graveblight (room corruption template)

Miasma Surge (spender that strengthens your room rot)

What I need from testers
If you hop in, I?d love feedback on:

Does RP feel starved / smooth / flooded?

Do procs feel too rare / too frequent / just right?

Does Frost feel like burst/precision, and Unholy like slow inevitability?

Any bugs, weird stacking, or edge cases (especially around room effects)

If you?re keen to test, DM me and I?ll get you sorted with access/invite.

there's a possibility that some old stuff went through as well. if you

Recent feedback from new and returning players has been that travel across
the land can be difficult as our memories from many years ago have faded
and that even when you know where you are going its very easy to get
turned around.


Ive implemented a system for general player testing that will allow
players to travel to realms they have reached a certain exploration
threshold in.

Currently that threshold is 61 percent.

See help hearthstone
See help gate

Both allow for the argument EXPLORED which will show destinations you meet
the exploration threshold for.

For you champion explorers who will have a huge list you can also restrict
the output by level EXPLORED <MIN LEVEL>-<MAX LEVEL>

Using gate / hearth / phearth will let you pick from these realms as well.
Hopefully all the costs and restrictions should be in place.

If anyone has other suggestions on how to use this system (or additional
skills to consider modifying) please let me know.

New and returning players have provided feedback that navigating the
realms of Tsunami can be challenging. As a result, Burlok is working on a
travel-system.

WHAT WE NEED: We need to record the “entry location” for each realm.

The “entry location” is the first room you would enter off of the main
area into the REALM. You can type “realm” and see where you are. For
example CoT is in MAINLAND TOWN.

CONTEST
Players are being given the opportunity to help Burlok declare entry-rooms
to the various realms for MUD PRIZES. There is a COG DISPENSER at cot
which will give you a gps cog.

You can see which realms are needed via the command “gps needed”.

Travel to a needed realm and type “gps submit <level>” where <level>
is the typical level a player would adventure in this area (you can only
pick 1 level). This level will be important to the travel system also.

You can view your progress with “gps contest” while holding a cog.

Burlok will be reviewing submissions every few days and approving ones
that appear to correctly identify the “entry room”.

The contest ends February 28 OR whenever the majority of the realms have
entries.

I will continue working on testing this in conjunction with anyone else
who wants to use it. If you find an abuse let me know.

I will add it to other pillagers (Berserker, Amazon, More?) once I am more
confident its working as intended.

The 300 round cooldown begins when the pillager who made the camp exits. A
