Patch Note September 30, 2020

Skills Adjustments:

Disarm Traps, Open Lock and Pickpocket:
  • Vanilla functions restored.
  • Removed the need of thieves tools.
  • Thieves Tools will be converted into the vanilla Thieves Tools
PickPocket:
  • Completely reworked to use its default in-game "button"
  • Adoh custom rules are kept, see here.
  • Added theft animation on opponent successful spot
  • Added theft progress bar (3 seconds)
Disarm Traps:
  • Reverted to vanilla
  • Added original tools to the game +1, +3, +6
  • Adjusted Spot Trap CD
  • Adjusted Disarm Trap CD (due to Skill Mastery feat)
  • Traps will give XP on disarm
  • Traps will respawn after their CD
Open Lock:
  • Reverted to its original use. (also skill mastery will work as in vanilla)
  • Slightly adjusted Open Lock CDs (due to Skill Mastery feat)
  • Doors can be re-locked (won't give XP on Unlock)
  • Chests can't be re-locked (will give XP on Unlock)
Dungeons and Raids Check:
  • Dungeons and raids are now listed from low level to raid level while checking for their availability with player wand
Henchmen Improvement:
  • Henchmen statistic, spells and skills improved overall
  • Henchmen basic equipment improved
  • Henchmen left alone for more than 30 minutes will be destroyed to reduce server CPU load
Disarmable Creatures:
  • Creatures with weapons are now able to be disarmed.
  • A disarmed creature, like players, will have its weapon go into inventory instead of on the ground.
  • The creature will be able to re-equip the disarmed weapon
New ADOH ILR:

Adoh will now use a custom ILR (needed since there will be many changes on items, mostly on crafting)

Nordock Craft Gear & Weapons:
  • Equippable from character level 30+
Socketable items:
Equippable based on item used slots and on its max slots. For a 6 sockets item, this is the ILR scaling:
  • ILR 1 - if empty
  • ILR 15 - 1 property
  • ILR 20 - 2 properties
  • ILR 25 - 3 properties
  • ILR 30 - 4 properties
  • ILR 35 - 5 properties
  • ILR 40 - 6 properties
Items with different max slots will follow a similar scaling.

Normal Items:
  • Will still use the value scaling system as for wiki
Sequencer Robes:
  • 1 spell: lvl 10
  • 2 spells: lvl 20
  • 3 spells: lvl 30
ATS Crafting Gear & Weapons:
  • will use the value scaling system as for normal items, but with a 2/3 of value decrease (lower level required to equip the items)
Party Range Adjust:

Since some players were abusing the party range scaling rule, a new check has been added to a party when checking if able to gain XP.
  • The difference from the Highest member and the Lowest member (ECL included in the operation), CAN'T be higher than 10. So it means that in a party of 6 formed by 31, 31, 30, 29, 29, 6, while its average range is between -5, the difference from highest member and lowest member is 25, which being higher than 10 makes that party NOT able to gain XP
Loot Adjustments:

Loot into dungeons and raids have been adjusted to separate loot tiers.

Nordocks:
  • can now be looted into Solo LVL 40 Dungeons only, and will prepare characters for RAID encounters.
Socketable Items:
  • can now be looted into RAIDS only (also gems will be provided into RAIDS only).
Increased the number of tokens from dead UNI, Boss and from chests. Even if a creature won't provide loot, a defeated boss will always provide tokens.
Due to this change, purchasable Nordock items prices have been slightly increased
  • Normal Ammo and Throwing weapons can now be looted and might roll as vengeful, which will also make them unlimited.
Also:
  • Added mass rewards for world boss events!

Disarm and Knockdown CD:
