Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.65 Release Notes
October 8, 2003
===================================
Version 1.65 is the first patch where many of the balance changes came
directly to us from feedback from the community via the reorganized Team Lead
program. Of course there are other sources for player feedback to reach us,
but the Team Lead program is designed specifically to monitor, assess, and
relay community feedback to us.
For those who are unaware, a few months ago, we hired a producer to be in
charge of Realm balance; to work with the Team Lead program to focus feedback
and give suggested changes. 1.65 is the first live Camelot patch to show the
fruit of this labor. We want to thank all the Team Leads, the Pendragon
testers, and everyone else in the community that gives us constructive
feedback for their efforts in making Camelot a better game. We hope that this
live version is the first of many to make Camelot more fun and balanced for
everyone.
As noted on the Herald, this patch will bring change to the overall RvR
experience in Camelot.
- The frontier keeps now have a new layout to provide variety in keep taking,
as well as to shift the focus from a single door fight to a courtyard fight at
many of the keeps.
- We have implemented a login check to prevent attackers or defenders from
"camping" a frontier or relic keep with alternate characters.
- Based upon Team Lead and Player feedback, we have implemented many
RvR-centric class, combat style and realm ability changes.
- New siege weapon art is in place for all siege equipment.
- The resist system has been updated to lower the effect of extremely high
resist cases and to lower the extreme effectiveness of casters resist
debuffing their own damage.
Further, many PVE changes have been incorporated into this patch.
- Three additional bonus zones on the Shrouded Isles client have been
unlocked. See the Shrouded Isles section for details.
- New crafting quests to aid crafters have been introduced.
- The drop rates of lower level monsters has been increased, to help lower
level players keep their equipment at an appropriate level.
And, finally, in response to player feedback, we have incorporated some
long-requested features into the game - such as the /hood command and spell
list organization for non-cloth casters.
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug that in some cases was causing increased resist rates for direct
damage spells on epic (level 65+) monsters.
- All old world dragons have become more resistant to attacks from extremely
small raiding parties (less than 3 groups). This does not affect the way the
dragons will fight at all; it only changes the minimum number of people that
need to fight the dragons to kill them effectively.
- The /gc autoremove account
- All possessive class titles in Midgard have been fixed.
- All known spelling errors in spell text have been fixed.
- Gaining the points necessary for more than one realm level will now award
you the correct number of realm skill points.
- Spell resists from realm abilities are now displayed and applied separately
to the character, which should reduce some of the extreme cases of very high
resistances.
- Previously, resist debuffs counted double versus resist buffs. This has been
changed to make them count normally against item, buff, and racial resists.
- The amount of aggro generated by any damage add or damage shield spell has
been reduced.
- Added the 'Stormcalling' spec line to the Player Market Query interface.
- We have added a new channel to the system window, "Resists Changed"
messages. Any time your resists change from equipping items or spells
(including those cast by Animist turrets), the messages will be printed in
this channel, which can now be toggled. You can toggle the colors and display
of these prints by right-clicking on the system text window.
- You should now see a pulsing "sprint" icon when sprinting.
- You should now be able to place instruments on the walls of your house.
- When you use the F7 key to find nearest object - it should select the coins
first if a monster drops multiple objects.
- Guild permissions, when set, should now propagate to all zones much more
consistently.
- Monsters should no longer turn with your character after being stunned.
- There is now a gold amount line printed in the chat window after completed
trades.
- Mythic Customer Service now has the ability to set a "Server Message of the
Day" on each server.
- Many of the items that can be found in Darkness Falls have been reviewed and
determined to be weaker than what is appropriate to the level of the item. To
correct this problem new items have been created based on the original item
design, but with more level appropriate magical bonuses. These new items can
be found both available for purchase with seals and dropped from important
monsters around the dungeon. The original items will no longer be available
for purchase nor will they drop from monsters. Combined with the new items,
the Darkness Falls merchants have had their stores reorganized. Due to this
reorganization, the Albion merchant imp Daro is no longer necessary and has
been removed.
- All NPC triggered teleports now should teleport players at the proper angle
of arrival. This should primarily be noticed when using gatekeepers.
- The information button in the class trainers' window was not working
correctly. It displayed all styles and abilities as being rewarded at one
level higher than it was supposed to. This also meant that level 50 styles
rolled over to level 1. This bug has been fixed.
INTERFACE CHANGE AND BUG FIXES
- The /hood command is now implemented. Players wearing hooded cloaks can
switch between hood up and hood down with this command. Default for hooded
cloaks is hood down.
- Ability Casters (non-cloth wearing casters) will now have their spells
displayed by spec line and spell level, similar to 'List Casters' (cloth
wearing casters).
- We now, by default, display RvR combat deaths in the color of the realm
scoring the kill.
Example:
(green text) Bob was just killed by Hibchar!
(blue text) Bob was just killed by Midchar!
(red text) Bob was just killed by Albion Keep Lord!
- There is now a graphical timer that shows how long your character has before
autoreleasing after death.
- Nodrop/Notrade/Nodestroy items now display as such in delve.
- Quickcast will now grey out (like other spells/abilities with recast
timers).
- Added new bindable keys for Right Handed Weapon Slot, Two Handed Weapon
Slot, and Ranged Weapon slot. Pressing these keys will act the same as if you
had dragged the icon to the quickbar and clicked on it.
- In the /realm screen, it now lists keeps that have been claimed by a guild.
- You can now type "/afk
- Fixed a bug where keys that were held down (such as Ground Target,Mouselook,
etc) would not work in high framerate situations.
- Fixed a bug where a key bound to 'Shift-
- Added new slash commands, /rpfilteron and /rpfilteroff to enable and disable
the RpFilter. This flag saves on zoning and logging.
- Styles that must be performed from Stealth now correctly state this when
delved.
- Direct damage spells should now delve correctly.
- All SI classes should now show up under the proper categories in the LFG
windows.
RVR KEEP CHANGES
- We have introduced a new frontier keep layout at all frontier keeps except
for Dum Crimthainn, Caer Erasleigh, and Nottmoor Faste, which will keep the
old layout. This keep layout adds an interior door at the lord tower, and
removes one of the doors at the gatehouse. Additionally, new doors have been
added at each rampart into the lord tower. These new doors will only allow
players from the realm that owns the keep to enter and exit the tower.
- We have replaced the Battlegrounds keeps with the new frontier keep layout.
- A group leader can now claim outposts for his guild with any full group of 8
players. Claiming will require confirmation of agreement by all group members.
- The experience bonus near frontier keeps now matches that of dungeons.
- When a frontier keep is claimed by your guild, with the guild and new
frontier bonus, you will now get the highest experience bonus in the game when
hunting around that keep.
- Players who attempt to log in near a frontier keep or relic keep that is
"under attack" or owned by an enemy realm will now be moved to a "safe point".
"Under attack" is defined as when the doors are actively taking damage or are
completely broken open. The safe point for attackers is the portal keep of the
enemy frontier they are in. The safe point for defenders is the border keep
with the portal pad of the frontier they are defending.
- Note that players who go linkdead near a frontier will have a 10 minute
"window" during which they can log back in without being moved to the safe
point.
- Some of the regular courtyard guard contingent of the relic keeps have been
associated with keeps throughout the frontier. When a keep is under enemy
control, the guard associated with that keep will no longer be available to
assist in relic defense.
- Players can no longer climb up two of the climb points at Dun Crimthainn.
They have been blocked in order to give Crimthainn four climb points like all
of the other frontier keeps.
CLASS UPDATES
- Single line respecs have been granted for Savages, Cabalists, Enchanters,
Runemasters and Spiritmasters as a result of the changes below.
- All self buffs with 15 minute durations have had their durations increased
to 20 minutes.
- The following AE DD lines have had their cast times reduced from four
seconds to three seconds
Calefaction: Molten Earth line
Liquefaction: Simmering Cloud line
Pyromancy: Explosive Blast line
Runes of Destruction: Odin's Ire line
Illusions: Deluge of Illusion
Vacuumancy: Lesser Kinetic Dispersal
Void Mastery: Lesser Null Squall
Thane
- The power costs on all higher level Thane spells have been adjusted down.
- The values on Thor's Vigor have been increased to be consistent with other
spec buffs.
- The radius of the Thunder Shout line has been increased to 300 and the
damage adjusted upwards.
- The radius of the Call Mjollnir line has been increased to 350 and the
damage adjusted upwards.
Skald
- Increased the range of the Chant of the Brawl line to 1500.
- Decreased the reuse timer on the Warcry and Battle Shout lines to 15
seconds.
- Added a new shout in the Warcry and Battle Shout lines. War Howl is a new
level 43 shout and Battle Roar is a new level 50 shout.
- Skald base hit points have been raised.
Minstrel
- Added a new shout in the Discordant Note and Lesser Cacophany lines.
Discordant Howl is a new level 43 shout and Deafening Cacophany is a new level
50 shout.
Savage
- A bug in Savage's chances to triple or quad has been fixed. Savages should
now triple more frequently than before, and quad less frequently than before.
Due to this, overall savage damage should decrease.
- Savage buffs have been halved in duration, and had their health cost halved.
- The Savage "Irreverent Gesture" line has been changed from a shout to a four
second cast time.
- Savage buffs now subtract a percent of your maximum health, not your
estimated health. Since estimated health was lower, this is an increase from
what it used to be.
- We've toned down the damage that Savages do while wielding any weapon other
than a Hand to Hand weapon.
Sorcerer/Cabalist changes
- Added a L50 baseline lifedrain in the Body Destruction list (Essence
Devourer).
- The Minor Vitality Drain line in the Sorcerer/Cabalist Body Destruction list
has had its damage increased slightly.
Cabalist/Enchanter/Runemaster changes
- The Diminish Immunities line in the Cabalist Vivification list, the Vex of
Cold line in the Runemaster Runes of Destruction list, and the Amplify Heat
line in the Enchanter Empowering line have been reduced from 15 to 8 seconds.
These three lines debuff damage types the caster herself can cast, which makes
the leeway provided by the increased "teamwork" duration the other resist
debuff lines have unnecessary.
Cabalist/Enchanter/Spiritmaster changes
- The focus damage shield spell lines found in the Cabalist, Spiritmaster and
Enchanter spell lists have been adjusted so that using them against monsters
or players higher level than the =caster= has reduced effect. These spells
have been used in exploitive ways that make certain encounters much easier
than originally intended. Players will now have to use more conventional
tactics to get past high-level encounter areas.
Warden Changes
- Increased range on Nature's Revenge chant to 1500.
Cleric Changes
- The range on Stunning Flash line was raised to 1500.
Necromancer Changes
- +CON bonus from items now grants the necromancer's pet additional health
when summoned.
- +QUI bonus from items now grants the necromancer's pet quicker attack speed.
- +DEX bonus from items now grants the necromancer's pet quicker casting
speed.
- Melee resistance bonuses on items worn by the Necromancer will now be
inherited by the pet.
- Magic items with +HPs worn by necromancers now correctly transfer the
additional hits to their pets when summoning.
- Items with +CON/+DEX/+QUI/+Hit benefits transferred to necromancer pets will
use the necromancer's level for the purpose of determining level-based caps.

- Increased range of Confusing Gust line to 1500. This is a bug fix.
- Added new earth summon spells in the Theurgist Abrasion list at levels 40
and 48.
- Added new ice summon spells in the Theurgist Refrigeration list at levels
32, 40, and 48.
- Reduced the hitpoints on earth elementals, but increased the duration of
their summon from 30 to 60 seconds. Their offensive bonus and run speed
increases with higher spec.
- Spells cast by Theurgist ice elementals have been tuned to cast faster, do
more damage, and scale appropriately with level to help deal with resists.
REALM ABILITY CHANGES
- The realm ability Empty Mind was not functioning properly. It has been
fixed, and the effects and costs have been lowered. Empty Mind now grants 5%
resistance per level at a cost of 3, 6, and 10 for levels 1, 2, and 3,
respectively. All players who had previously purchased this ability have had
the ability removed and the cost refunded.
- Spell resists from realm abilities are now displayed and applied separately
to the character, which should reduce some of the extreme cases of very high
resistances. As a result of this change, all players who had previously
purchased the realm ability Brilliant Aura of Deflection and/or Avoidance of
Magic have had these abilities removed and the costs refunded.
- Volcanic Pillar's radius has been changed from 700 to 500 to bring the
ability more in line with the original intent of the design. All players who
had previously purchased this realm ability have had the ability removed and
the cost refunded.
- Note that the refunded abilities above can be re-purchased by players. They
still exist, with the modified abilities above.

Quests- General
- We are excited to announce a few new types of quest rewards for players that
are working to increase their tradeskills. These rewards can be gained through
quests given by your tradeskill masters in the capital cities of each realm.
Players must have a minimum skill level of 500 and be a minimum of level 5.
For now, players will be able to do the level 500 quests repeatedly until they
have received all of the different types of tradeskill rewards. In future

SHROUDED ISLES WORLD NOTES
We are proud to introduce a new free zone expansion to our customers who have
Shrouded Isles. Each realm has a new zone available for use by anyone who has
Shrouded Isles installed. These zones are targeted for players who are level
35 or higher. The new zones can be reached by either swimming to them or by
using one of the new flying creatures routes available from the nearest
faction based creature tamer.
Albion: Inishail Island
Directly west of Gwyddneau is the foggy marshlands of Inishail Island. The
island has a large presence of orcs who were fleeing from the constant attacks
of the ogres, but who now unfortunately have instead come into contact with
hostile lammias who came to the island to eradicate any undead presence on
Inishail. These two factions are now battling for control of the island while
avoiding the marshlands, where slimes and sinkholes abound and threaten to
kill anyone who ventures into the swamp. Adventurers wishing to explore the
island can swim from the shore or if they are liked by the lammia, they can
visit Nimea in Clifton for a quicker way to the lammia encampment on Inishail
Island.
Midgard: Modernagrav
The eastern rockwall of Faraheim has been destroyed by morvalt who are
following rumors that the Mother can be found on the island east of the rocky
barrier. They were saddened to find that the only thing on the island was a
huge, half-buried, ancient skeleton with a large undead presence guarding the
remains. Fearing the remains were the Mother, the morvalt have set up a camp
to try and contact the spirit. The iarn dwarves have heard of the new island
as well and have sent some explorers to the area to investigate. The friends
of the iarn dwarves will be pleased to find that they can talk to Minerva in
the new iarn dwarf settlement in Faraheim for an unusual trip to her brethren
in Modernagrav.
Hibernia: Allta Fearann
For generations, a legend has spread through the ranks of the mantids telling
of an untamed land. The mantids believe their legend is finally becoming
reality. They have found a great island untouched by mortals which they have
named Allta Fearann. Though a closely guarded secret by the mantids, it has
been discovered that this new land is off the coast of World's End. The
mantids realize that they are not strong enough to complete their exploration
of the land alone, and are allowing those who have shown their friendship a
quick passage to Allta Fearann from their base in World's End to help them
tame these wild lands. Dalniver is the contact for those wishing to use this
passage.
- There are new ridable routes to the new faction based mounts. These new
routes will all require you to have the proper faction to use the mounts (the
same faction as the destination points), to ensure players do not accidentally
take a trip into a hostile area. The new merchants can be found in the
following areas:
Albion: Vilmalin can be found right outside Caer Diogel and will sell players
a ride to Clifton.
Midgard: Korlis can be found just outside Hagall and will sell players a ride
to the Iarn dwarf outpost in Faraheim.
Hibernia: Zrrazk can be found just outside of Necht and will sell players a
ride to the Krrzck outpost in World's End.
Quests- General
- We have added quests to the new SI zones for players level 36 and 49. The
level 36 quests must be completed before starting the level 49 quests. They
begin with the following NPC's: Hibernia - Xaxnxi, Midgard - Shiake, Albion -
Veena.
- Rumors have run rampant throughout the realms of strange visions of a far
away place filled with incredible creatures and amazing treasure. Many young
adventurers have heard these rumors and decided to find out the truth for
themselves. Some are seeking help in order to begin their journey or to assist
one who has already made his way there. Will you assist them with their
journey into the unknown?
Albion adventurers should visit Gothwaite Harbor and talk to Squire Wellings.
Midgard explorers should visit Aegir's Landing and offer assistance to Kauko.
Hibernian players should meet with Ailionora Para in the Grove of Domnann.
Albion Monsters
- Undead seedsman, haunted appletree seedlings and haunted appletrees can no
longer be charmed.
- The final Apocalypse encounter in Caer Sidi has had its difficulty level
tweaked slightly downward to match the other epic dungeon final encounters.
- Dales of Devwy - A bloodied adventurer named Syhtric has stumbled into Fort
Gwyntell with a dark tale to tell. He was the leader of a band of profiteering
mercenaries that disappeared in the Dales days ago. His wounds are severe and
he may not live long, it would be wise of anyone traveling through the Dales
to hear him out and heed his warnings.
Midgard Monsters
- Monsters should now stay further away from the outside entrance of Trollheim.
Hibernia Monsters
- A new, hardier species of shriller has been spotted outside of Fomor.
- Some monsters in Fomor have been relocated to make navigating past the
entrance of the dungeon slightly easier.
Item Notes
- We have changed the few Midgard items in the game that were slower than 5.5
seconds to restrict them from Savage use. Savages who already own one of these
weapons at the time of this patch will not be affected by this change.
However, any weapon that has a delay slower than 5.5 seconds has been replaced
in all future drops in the game with an identical version that will not allow
savages to equip the new item.- The new items have had their names modified so
that they can be differentiated from the versions that are not restricted. The
new versions of the "Mourning Rage", "Dull Asterite Great Sword",
"Brittle-bone Great Axe", "Dragon-shadow Great Axe" and "Dragon-shadow Great
Hammer" are named "Mourning Fury", "Lusterless Asterite Great Sword",
"Bone-shard Great Axe", "Wurm-shadow Great Axe" and "Wurm-shadow Great
Hammer", respectively.
- Nosdoden, Myrddraxis and Xanxicar will now drop more items when slain.

other effects of the same level.

an emblem.
- The Moonbound Protector now has a reactive effect instead of a volatile
effect.
- The Writhing Fang Greave (Midgard) will now display the correct DPS in the
quickview window.
- The Spear of Victory (Hibernia) will now display the correct DPS in the
quickview window.

- Fiacha Qua (Hibernia) will now drop items with a higher bonus, as
appropriate to the level of the items.

- Hurionthex's Belt of Intellect (Hibernia) can be recharged.

Bladed Ericril, the Pristine Frost Orm Jerkin and the Pristine Fire Orm
Gloves.
- The Singing Beads (Hibernia) should now have a necklace icon in your
inventory.
- The Disonant Falchion's (Albion) instrument bonus has been replaced with a
strength bonus.

like other weapons dropped in the area.
