Lord of the Craft update v4.5.1

[501warhead 1796]

 

Evening LotC’ers. Here are the patch notes for the next patch; LotC 4.5.1

 

Some of you may wonder: NEW MAP!? and the answer is… not quite. Due to the rapidly approaching dissolution of Nexus-Core the Nexus patchnote system is now going out of commission. We will now, from this point forward, be updating the global patch numbers (e.g. - 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5) as patches and content roll out

 

This update will be slated to go live later tomorrow, after the warclaim is all finished.

 

There will be some scheduled downtime immediately after for 5-10 minutes to make sure everything is functioning as intended.

 

Crafting

• Time between repairs now takes into account skill level
   

• Repairing now gives a portion of the amount repaired as experience to the relevant skill
   

• Added Alchemist Shears to blacksmithing
   

• Added a new set of chainmail to blacksmithing - Witch Hunter's gear (Magic Resistant Chain)
   

• New weapons have been added, and divided by max and lowest percentage of damage. Cheapest weapons will have the lowest amount of damage, capping at 20%. As the weapons get better, they get more expensive, but you have a guaranteed minimum amount of damage boost.
   

• Arrows shot while mounted now have greatly reduced velocity and damage
   

• You can no longer wear iron armor while mounted
   

• Fixed the odd red scrolling numbers on food

 

Skills

• Added a unique enchantment to enchanting - Experience Boost! Hint: Add a point to unbreaking
   

• Added a unique enchantment to enchanting - Magic Resistance! Hint: One in a trillion
   

• Added a new command to see the skill leaderboards: /sk <skill> top
   

• Added a new fish to a rare biome…
   

• Added several rare and hard to obtain items to fishing tables, making it easier to obtain
   

• Rescaled the grapple-hook range to be more generous than before (up to ~6 blocks from ~1-2)
   

• Rescaled alchemy experience, potions now give exponentially less than before
   

• Added a new herb finding mechanic - use Alchemist’s Shears to find herbs in different places
   

• Alchemist’s fire now has a chance based upon your alchemy skill level to explode on you when tossed
   

• Very skilled lumberjacks may now find they can fell a tree in a single chop with their trusty diamond axe
   

• Trees cut down in any region will now have their leaves decay, regardless of region flags
   

• Added Aengul Eye to mining drops
   

• Rumour has it that a tinker managed to open a nether portal once more, although no one is quite sure where - constructed portals still can’t manage to stay open long enough… Perhaps some investigation is in order.
   

• Greg Corp. has released blueprints to a new, shiny tinkering device! The Sealed Thanhic-Powered Icebox is your go to for all your food storing needs!
   

Personas

• Implemented High Elven Racial Buff
   

• Added a new command to view the highest net worth: /money top
   

• Rescaled Dwarven knockback resistance to 20%, up from 15%
   

• Necrolyte speed bonus was increased by 50%
   

• Constructs can no longer ride horses
