Oh, one thing I can announce about HESS. The slate of intermediate transmutes that were released in August 2023 will not be available in August 2024. I can't speak to beyond that, but this is the last run for those this year.

General Announcement 4 - Updates, Claim, Battle Vault, Gladiator NPC, Easter Eggs

Discord Message Link: https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1207762863079563315/1207762863079563315

Duskruin is just about here, and with it heralds a few changes! Some changes will be live in February and some will be waiting until August. I plan to talk about the projects I'm working all here in this thread for the year. Keep in mind, there are more staff members working the event than just me, so I'm just talking about the projects I'm lead on. This doesn't represent Duskruin as a whole.

DUSKRUIN ARENA

The arena will feature a new boss that will randomly come around, an immense clockwork golem. It will take the place of an automaton should you get one to spawn in. The automatons will also spawn, but only one or the other will happen per entry. Like the automaton, the golem will have a special drop which I'll explain in a bit. Endless will feature them, so it's a good way to try to get one to spawn as bosses have a higher chance to happen after round 25.

SEWERS

The way caches spawn has changed a bit. The will have a bigger range in which they can be found, but the ceiling has been lowered. This means they should be seen a little more frequently. The announcement that comes after a cache is found will go to a queue and fire off at some point randomly after one is found. Golem parts are added in as a rare drop in the sewers as well and will take the place of a bloodrune stone for that search attempt. Bloodrunes will still drop, and we will be featuring a legendary bloodrune (more on this in another post).

GIFTBOX and EVENT BOX

Both GIFTBOX and EVENT BOX will be retired this run.

...

And we will have CLAIM! The system will go live with a trial run in Platinum first that is outside of the Duskruin offerings! More on CLAIM will be announcement shortly in a separate post, but some changes are coming alongside it. CLAIM has a GIFT and EVENT option, we will be offering 2 of each this run of Duskruin. Once in February and once in March. The EVENT option will cost silver. Both will contain a 25-entry booklet that can be used with the NPC. The price will be scaled to 25-entries vs 12-entries, so this EVENT option will be a little more expensive, but it will be the same in scope. The booklets will not be attuned, so they can be traded with other players just like before. I will continue to monitor to see what we can do there.

That means this run of Duskruin will have a 25-entry booklet in February and another in March for the same amount for the EVENT option, which is higher than what we've been doing last year. Like every event, CLAIM won't be active until after the initial weekend, we usually try to get it live by the first Tuesday or Wednesday. Details on cost and what it all includes will be announced and placed in this thread once it goes live. The GIFT option will be similar to what GIFTBOX offered, but double.

BATTLE VAULT

This run we will have a new item in the SimuCoin Store that will cost 6,500 SimuCoins. It will include two 25-count booklets, 30 Advanced Spellup Pills, and two special items that will be attuned to your character. You may only redeem one BATTLE VAULT per run of Duskruin per character. Because it is per character, you can redeem multiple per account if you wish to have the extras that come with it. The BATTLE VAULT itself is not attuned in any way, so you can trade them, hand them off, etc. But I'll repeat, you can only redeem one per character though.

Author: GM Wyrom
Date: 2/15/24

BATTLE VAULT: SPECIAL ITEMS

The first special item is an empty golem chassis! This item will be used to collect golem parts from the arena and sewer. You will be able to rebuild a golem. You will need the chassis to be able to start the build process, which means you will need a BATTLE VAULT to participate in the build-a-golem item. You will need a bunch of drops from the arena and/or sewers to complete it. The chassis is exclusive to BATTEL VAULTS. In August, you will be able to bring your golem to life with a motor (noun TBD)! Once you fully complete your golem in August, you will have a golem companion that will follow you around and do an assortment of actions! These golems are character attuned. BATTLE VAULTS that are purchased in February and March will always produce a chassis, even if redeemed in August.

The second special item is a golden scroll that will will award 2x base experience abosrption for 30 days. These scrolls can only be redeemed during the February/March run of Duskruin, afterwards, they will expire and will not work. You can wait to any point of this run of Duskruin to activate it and it will last 30 days from that point on. Start it right on Friday with Duskruin or wait until March 10th to have after! Maybe start it on March 1st? Choice is yours! Just don't let it expire! These are character attuned, so the character who redeems the BATLLE VAULT is the only character that can redeem the golden scroll.

GLADIATOR NPC (BOOKLET EXCHANGE)

The booklet exchange NPC will have a 10 minute timer instead of the 30 minute timer. You run the risk of losing a lot of experience if you die, so use this frequently at your own peril. The NPC also has some better debugging if you use the wrong item.

EASTER EGGS

There are still some hidden easter eggs in the arena.

Wyrom Battle Vault Announcement

Author: GM Thandiwe
Date: 2/18/24

Wyrom Battle Vault Announcemnt I want to announce this a bit earlier than the end of this run. But reviewing the BATTLE VAULT, we will be making some changes for the next planned one in August.

• The chassis will continue to be in the August run.
  • You will only be able to have one golem with you at a time per character, but you could complete a second.
• The motor (noun TBD) will be obtainable another way in August.
• The scroll will be 50% more exp the next time we offer it.
  • I know I said 2x and I coded 2x, but I mathed +50% when I proposed it. The scrolls will remain as is until the next time we release them (so have fun with the crazy exp rates that are my mistake right now).

Scrip Exchange NPC - Experience Update

Author: GM Thandiwe
Date: 2/18/24

[Scrip Exchange NPC] Experience Update After this run of Duskruin, the NPC that exchanges markers, booklets, keys, and any future exchanged items will award instant experience once you're saturated. That means you can still saturate with the initial 5,000 experience, but anything exchanged while saturated will result in it being a direct amount of instant experience.

CLAIM Updates

[New Distribution System] CLAIM
GIFTBOX and EVENT BOX are being retired for CLAIM. It currently is live in all instances and we did a test run in Platinum and Shattered over the weekend. The current iteration of CLAIM will be updates after Duskruin, so some of the output will likely change next time we use it. Big thank you to @Naiken for taking an idea and making it into so much more!

Will will have a very small testing window coming to all instances Wednesday afternoon. There will be a GIFT of 3 free entries and an EVENT of 5 paid entries (1.25mil silver) during this test of the system. The test will only last roughly 24 hours, so if you'd like these bonus entries, make sure to grab them early on Wednesday after they launch! As long as there aren't any hiccups, we'll have GIFT and EVENT going Thursday afternoon around 3pm to 4pm ET.

General Announcement 5 - Create-a-Golem

Discord Message Link: Create-a-Golem
Author: GM Wyrom
Date: 2/16/2024

This year at Duskruin, you'll be able to build a golem if you participate in both the February/March and August runs. In the BATTLE VAULT, you will receive a chassis in the February/March run which is the foundation of your golem, without it, you cannot build one. These are character attuned. At Duskruin, you will come across golem pieces either in the arena by facing a clockwork golem or randomly searching in the sewers. There are 5 types of pieces you can find, arms, legs, plates, gears, and heads.

On the chassis you will ADD {part} TO {chassis} to attach a piece you find. You will need 2 arms and 2 legs. FLIP the chassis to select which side you are adding arms and legs. If you've already added a piece and wish to replace it, you can, but you will lose the old piece. There are over 10 of each piece currently with plans to continue to add more.

During the February/March run, you cannot finish the golem, as you will need the next BATTLE VAULT in August, which will be a motor/engine of sorts. So for now, you'll have just a incomplete chassis with anything you attach to it this run. You will be able to attach pieces next run if you don't find everything or maybe something new comes along that you like. After the golem is complete, you can still swap out parts.

The only verbs it will have for now are ADD, LOOK, and FLIP. I may add some more after we get everything released to have it do something between now until August, but no promises.

If you don't want to participate in this, you can BREAK the chassis for a violet exp orb. Be warned, there is no replacement and you will not be able to complete your golem. You only get one chance to build a golem. The violet exp orb will be account attuned so you can hand those off to other characters on your account

You glance down to see a hammer-fisted cast iron arm in your right hand and an empty golem chassis in your left hand.

You're about to replace an oversized iron left arm on an empty golem chassis. Repeat ADD arm TO chassis within 30 seconds to confirm this action. An oversized iron left arm will be lost.

You attach a hammer-fisted cast iron arm to an empty golem chassis.

You pick up an upturned steel bucket head.

You attach an upturned steel bucket head to an empty golem chassis.

Lots of combinations you can make!

General Announcement 6 - Various Discord Q & A

HESS CERTIFICATES Questions and Answers

Author: GM Thandiwe
Date: 2/19/24

Why do some certificates take longer than others?

• Chances are that the certificate you are hoping to have completed on a weapon or armor require review. If this happens, then please understand that it takes time for us to review them. We want to make sure that you don't have complications with your item further down the line.

Are all of the HESS certificates out for this run?

• Yes, at this time all HESS certificates are out.

If I have Rotflares on my weapon with Dispell and I want Flare Affinity, how do I do that?

Does Flare Affinity work with paladin bond flares?

• It does not.

Does Flare Affinity work with scripted flares?

• It does not.

When do I have to start paying a surcharge?

• After your fifth service on an individual item.

Can I reforge something with an Ethereal String on it? For Ethereal Strings, they only work on a dagger, handaxe, war hammer, quoit, discus, javeline, throwing dagger, throwing axe, and spear. So your could reforge from (example) a dagger to a handaxe, but no other edged weapon profile would be eligible. Longbow to hand xbow is fine?

• Yes, as long as the old and new weapon use exactly the same weapon skill.

Can brawling weapons be reforged to UCSE?

• No, brawling weapons and UCS cannot be converted either way.

How do I figure out what to set in Duskruin?

• Type DUSKRUIN HELP in-game.

If I do DUSKRUIN REWARD SCRIP instead of LOOT can I still get golem parts?

• Yes, special drops are still accessible under SCRIP instead of loot.
• Turning of loot simply means less runs to the pawnshop.

• Yes. Your options are:

DUSKRUIN BOOST RANDOM: Receive random boosts.

DUSKRUIN BOOST BOUNTY: Receive bounty boosts.

[Prime] And the world spins on… With this year’s Duskruin, we are attempting something new. Some of the storylines will be continuing at Bloodriven Village and you may see some Merchants as well. While not all storylines or towns may have a way to weave a town like Bloodriven into their workings, some will and may. As such, we’ve created an avenue for this to happen. Please keep an eye on the calendar for these events. All events will be on the calendar if they are to happen, there will be no surprises or pop-ups to ensure that those interested don’t miss out.

Also, some merchants may come around. All merchants will also be on the calendar, and they will be in public areas. Merchants will not be associated with shops, though they may work on shop items.

We hope that you enjoy these changes. Who knows, perhaps you’ll see one of the local authorities of your favorite town in the Cheap Seats, cheering you on.

General Announcement 8 - Bloodrunes

Bloodrunes
In the sewers at Duskruin, there are stones that can be chiseled to create bloodrunes. There are tiers of bloodrunes with varying rarity, you have classic, divine, arcane, mystic, and legendary. In previous runs, some bloodrunes were harder to come by in each rarity tier. I've gone ahead and made everything equally available within each rarity tier.

Golem Legendary Bloodrune
Constructed entirely of mismatched metal armaments and pieces, (player) towers over those nearby. Large copper pauldrons are fused in place and incised with glowing (complexion) glyphs, while a barrel-shaped torso with an iron grate in front of it displays a burning fire of (hair color). Each of (his/her) joints has a series of pistons surrounded by bolts that aid in movement, while gears at the incredibly short neck allow the inverted kettle-shaped head to rotate. Nothing more than thin slits within the bronze metal, (his/her) eyes radiate a (eyecolor) glow.

Automaton Legendary Bloodrune
Tall and blocky, (player) stands before you, an enormous automaton comprised of steel and bronze plates. An inverted bucket, complete with glowing (eye color) eyes, creates the head, the strap hanging loose at the back, while a ladle-shaped jaw is bolted in place next to massive screw-shaped ears. Squared shoulders descend from either side of a pot-bellied stove that serves as the torso, the glow of a (hair color) fire burning fitfully inside.

[Bloodrunes] This will be the last run where bloodrunes drop in the sewers. We will have a different way to acquire a bloodrune moving forward that uses the same sort of drop mechanics, but purely for bloodrunes (like a treasure pile with tiered dropper rates).
Both legendary bloodrunes were found and left behind. Wyrom will add them both back in, however, if they are not found by our little shindig happening (Shenanigans), they will be offered there.

[Duskruin] - Somnis Sliver now in HESS

There is now a somnis sliver in HESS you can use to do an intermediate transmute of your armor to LESSER somnis.

>read my sliver
A somnis sliver will grant the user the ability to transmute valid armor to somnis. The item must meet all applicable restrictions of that material to be valid for the service. Some items may be ineligible and might not be assessed until after redemption. All final transmutes will be at the lesser tier of the material and cannot be upgraded to the greater version at this time. The item weight will be reset to the base weight of the new material. This material change may result in updates to reflect the new material, but a full alteration is not included in this service. Some items could be ineligible due to existing scripts or properties. WHISPER details to the sliver about the specifics for your service and your availability. GAZE at the sliver to review your request.

We will be having some Duskruin Shenanigans starting at 8pm ET in Prime and then we'll be doing it again at 10:30pm ET in Platinum.

Discord link: Duskruin Shenanigans

This time around we will be trying out something new. It will have a 4,997 bloodscrip entry fee to get in. Inside will be a magical orb you can TOUCH for 3 bloodscrip to receive a violet exp orb that is account attuned and limited to one per account. This makes it 5,000 bloodscrip to enter. There is no guarantee to win anything beyond picking up the violet exp orb. We will then have a bunch of games that a random person will be selected as long as you JOIN. You may only win once per account per instance. You will need no additional bloodscrip to participate. Once you win, you're welcome to stick around, but you cannot win again or try for a later prize. There is no trading in your prize if you don't want it or want something later.

The doors will close shortly after 8pm, so don't wait too long. No re-entry will be allowed.

Outside of the area, there will be another magical orb you can TOUCH for 1,000 bloodscrip for a violet exp orb that is account attuned and limited to one per account. If you go inside, that means you can get up to 2 per account.

Updates

Clockwork golems are now clockwork automatons. This will solve some concerns with certain spells working. They will also no longer spawn with equipment, as they weren't intended to.

The "rust-cover" golem pieces are now rusty. I'll be putting a fix into the golem pieces to convert.

Some of the gears have been rearranged to have the proper adjective usages for helical, spiral, and bevel. The old ones will still exist because they're technically okay still. Consider them like rare misprints.

Some of the golem pieces that were not dropping as much as others have been nudged and reminded to drop more.

Author: GM Thandiwe
Date: 2/3/2024

Located down an alley and secreted away, a young merchant sells fans modeled after the famed fighting fans of the Sparrows of the Night Queen. She will not speak to those that come seeking her out, instead just watching from the shadows of her shop as customers come and go.

While her fans are simple and elegant, they are not weapons, however, they do still allow for the chained dance of the Sparrow.

The cost of a base fan is 2,500 bloodscrip, with each unlock costing 1,000 bloodscrip.

Shop Teaser/Announcement 3 - Fancy Stance

Discord Message Link: Fancy Stance (certificate)
Author: GM Valyrka
Date: 2/3/2024

A certificate will be available for purchase this Duskruin that adds fancy stance messaging to your weapon.

This fluff messaging does not take up a script spot.

Examples:

stance off
Gripping your steel falchion, you take an aggressive step forward.

stance advance
Leaning forward, you position your steel falchion at your knees and ready yourself for battle.

stance forward
You pull your steel falchion across your body, preparing to fight.

stance neutral
Lightly gripping your steel falchion, you shift your balance from foot to foot.

stance guarded
Bringing your steel falchion across your chest, you glance about with a watchful eye.

stance defense
Stepping backwards, you pull your steel falchion close, protecting yourself from attack.

Thank you to GM Ethereal for helping code and APM Estild for his help in getting a new script slot added to make this happen.

With the release of this certificate comes a new field on items called Fluff Script, which will allow you to add fluff scripts that won't interfere with your mechanical scripts.
The way it works is as follows:

• The primary script always takes precedence.
• Multiple fluff scripts can be stacked into the fluff script field, but the order of importance is noted by the order of addition.

Example: Primary Script has verbs RUB, EXHALE, PULL, 1st fluff script has RUB, PUSH, PONDER, 2nd fluff script has PONDER, GAZE, GLANCE

• Rub, exhale, and pull will always default to the primary script.
• Push and ponder will always default to the 1st fluff script.
• Gaze and glance will default to the 2nd fluff script.
• And so on as it goes.

Shop Teaser/Announcement 4 - Crafter’s Tome Update

Discord Message Link: Crafter’s Tome Update
Author: GM Ethereal
Date: 2/6/2024

Three updates to Crafter’s Tomes/Monocles will be going live when Duskruin opens on the 16th:

1. Crafter’s Tomes and Monocles will be updated to support the new Bard service. They’ll provide appropriate stat and skills boosts when used in conjunction with the service. Affinity will not be reset during this update, so the item should be usable immediately.
2. Warrior’s will no longer see a difficulty assessment message when applying the grit service.
3. A new certificate will be available from Tome Raiders: a black voucher. This voucher will unlock to assess your service bonus when PONDER’ing your tome or monocle. It’ll provide both an IC range as well as the numerical value.

Example:

>ponder tome

Your crafter's tome pulses with a crimson light, suffusing you with necromantic knowledge.

You open your crafter's tome and scan through the pages, studying the text and diagrams contained within. After a few moments, you feel a presence briefly touch your mind, as if searching it. The feeling fades as you close your tome once again.

You sense that your ability to ensorcell is proficient.

[Your skill bonus given your current condition and environment is 488.]

Looking closely at the settings on the side of your ebonwood box, you notice a dial set to "gold-set" and a knob set to "moon."

> look

The round pocketwatch has been crafted from bronze, its surface graced with an embellished filigree whorl. Set within the panes of clear glass are tiny clockwork hands, the appendages affixed with gears and cogs set in thin layers beneath a disc of lacquered vellum. A herringbone copper chain allows the timepiece to be attached to the wearer, leaving a diminutive golden bell to drape against the bow and crown.

> gaze my pocket

Toggling the closure spring with your thumb, you open your round bronze pocketwatch and gaze at the timepiece, noting that it is 9:40 AM by the elven time standard. You close the pocketwatch with a quiet *CLICK*.

Shop Teaser/Announcement 8 - The Daily Grind

Discord Message Link: The Daily Grind
Author: GM Avaluka
Date: 2/13/2024

Meat Grinders are a new food crafting item debuting in "The Daily Grind".

What does it create?

• Raw, cookable sausages filled with up to two (2) filler ingredients and flavored with up to two (2) added flavors.
• Raw sausages can be impaled on the end of any "stick" you may have lying around and cooked over a fire source (or you can CAST fire spells at them). If you like them crispy, you can cook them up to 3 times total.

What do you need to create the sausages?

• Iron or silver wands (or lightning-based spells.
• Salt (either regular salt, sea salt, garlic salt, celery salt, etc.)
• Intestines.
• A piece of raw meat.
• (Optional) A second piece of different raw meat, an organ (heart, liver, or kidney), grain, wine, blood, vegetable, or mushroom.
• (Optional) Up to two (2) flavor ingredients to infuse into the filling (these are items exactly like the alcohol still - Foraged Items, food, cooking/brewing additives, etc.)
• The combination of the base ingredient (meat) and the optional 2nd filler ingredient will change the taste messaging you end up with, as some meats are more gamy or greasy and obviously a blood sausage tastes different than one infused with wine.

What sort of things can I do to change the sausage's looks?

• OTS grinders can adjust the article (the first 15 of the 15/15/15).
• An unlock certificate can be purchased to allow changing the adjective, as well as a separate certificate to allow adding a long description to the sausage.
• All articles, adjectives, and long description options are based on what ingredients you have put into the grinder (no customs at this time).

What other things can be unlocked?

• You can unlock the ability to make ropes of sausage links (an item that will create a "rope" that will let you TWIST off individual 3-bite sausage links).
• You can unlock the "Spicy" or "Rancid" after-effect, which are messages that appear after you EAT the sausage.

To support Avaluka's sausage maker, Vanah has released mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, and pancakes in the cooking system. Also in the Daily Grind, Accents shop are two items to turn forageables into Finishing Touches which add a sentence to food taste messaging, a cutting board, and a spice mill. A whisk can turn heavy cream milked with a milking pan or purchased at a grocer into whipped cream. She even feature-creeped herself into adding pancakes.

Shop Teaser/Announcement 10 - Private Property Clocks

Discord Message Link: Private Property Clock
Author: GM Tivvy
Date: 2/15/2024

Sometime during the event, I'll be putting out a cart with a contract to place a standing clock in your private property. This will not work in premium homes, tents, or any other location except in a private property you are the owner of. The clock will chime on the hour and it will be audible throughout your property. Once the clock is placed you can TURN the clock to toggle it on and off. There are also a few fluff verbs you can use to interact with the clock once placed, CLEAN, LISTEN, LOOK, OPEN, PINCH, STARE and UNLATCH.

The clock is a script first coded by GM Kynlee. I've made some updates to add more ring flavors and a few other small improvements under the hood. You will be able to take the contract to any willing GALD merchant and have its appearance customized. The noun must remain clock, but it cannot be a grandfather clock. It will support long descriptions but not shows. Once placed, you cannot change any of the custom settings, so be sure you have it how you want it before raising your contract!

You analyze your clock contract and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This clock contract is used to place a standing floor clock in a private property that you own.

TURN the contract to choose between one of six different hourly ring messages.

Current ring setting:  Striker

The appearance of the clock may be altered by any willing merchant with a long description but show descriptions are not allowed.  The noun will always remain "clock".

Current article setting:  a timeworn
Current adjective setting:  mahogany
Current long description setting:  a timeworn mahogany clock with a nacre-inlaid face
Current clock hands metal setting:  faenor

You should RAISE your contract while standing in the room where you want to install a standing floor clock.
