    Hi all,

    Just a quality of life note for the entire community regarding resets.

    We do our best to do frequent resets however there is not a specific time period for them to be done. Often we are waiting on a module update before we ask people to log off and reset so there in a minimal interruption to gameplay. Please be patient If there has not been a reset in 48 hours please let us know, otherwise, we'll complete the reset when appropriate or time allows.

    Happy Gaming!

    Additional Quest Updates

    As an extra bonus!

    The Angry Bone Tribe Goblin Quest has been updated; trying to complete the original vision of its creator in terms of challenge, fixed some secret doors, (hopefully fixed some encounters), adjusted treasure variety, NPC variety and challenge (including a tough optional fight for an extra reward). The DM team also removed some of the phallic-humor here, though, if you know Latin we didn't give it up entirely.

    Some great cosmetic changes, looking forward to screenshots of people on the throne.

    Revisions to the Clean Up Crew sewer goblin quest, explained a little of Fahruz the Animator's backstory(I know you were dying for this and you can complete his story on the Angry Bone Tribe quest - now called Osiratum Tribe) And adjusted spawns so you get a lot more variety and some of the more challenging spawns will now show up in the level-range of the quest.

    Ran the first attempt at this; players got half-way through the challenges. The dungeon remains unconquered...for now.

    I have two more teams who hope to try, please firm up a time you want to make this happen with me.

    If anyone else wants to put a team together to brave this dungeon, let me know!

    This is to take place Saturday evening.

    I have received a handful of questions to be answered on the day, but please do keep sending them in and I'll look to address them.

    The Events function in our Discord channel has been set, same as before. Hopefully there's a good attendance and people get as much out of it as the first Town Hall.

    Thank you.

    Edited the steps. Reminder that this is still advised!

    Plot tickets area also a good way to communicate with the team about questions/concerns/advice for your character moving forward with various game elements/stories/plots/goals/etc.

    There's a bounty hunter outside the east gate
    There's a bounty hunter in Redwoods

    not all bounty hunters accept the same items - some are specialized to their areas

    Hi all. We're conducting a top to bottom review of the items produced from the crafting system and looking for some community help. We've been making adjustments piecemeal but there remain items that just aren't "worth it". The first of the crafting streams we are diving into is https://nodebb.cityofarabel.com/category/368/crafting

    If you've been using the crafting system for metal armours, we'd love to have you participate and contribute. The other crafting streams will be done along the way so if you've experience in Tailor & Leather Working or Gems etc, we hope you'll participate when we're there.

    If you're interested, drop us a message in the Faction Request Channel on Discord.

    Happy Gaming!

    As this is all a work in progress and things will be implemented over time, we're not offering rebuilds/remakes. DMs asking for skill checks will take into account that older characters didn't have the opportunity to take a relevant new skill

    Cheers!
