Monks will be the most magical of the Squares and will have access to the [[Minor Spiritual]] and Minor Mental circles. [[Savant]]s will, obviously, also have access to the Minor Mental circle.

Mining and Smelting, single skill.

Can make ingots of metal for forging and hopefully other crafts in the future.

Mines are excavated. You can make your own and dig directionally.

Players can search ores, and intuit ores based on mining skills. Bonus for [[Dwarf|dwarves]].

Teamwork for deeper excavation. Shoring up mines.

Digging too deep has hazards, like critters.

Skill helps chance of finding ore, gems, shoring up mines.

Even rare ores are a possibility.

Good smelters can improve ore quality through normal or mechanical means. Increased skill is a greater quantity of ore, more efficiency.

Can smelt mundane and magical metals.

Exotic metals require even more exotic techniques.

CAN MELT existing items, but at a reduction of overall material. Skill determines how inefficient it is. Some possible restrictions on certain metals (like coraesine, black ora)

I believe he also mentioned some rogue only [[Combat Maneuvers|Cmans]] are on the way.

It was also mentioned that when mining and smelting come out, those metals can be used for making [[lockpick]]s.(rarer metals will be released)

For those of you who weren't at SimuCon, there is going to be a change to [[Armor]] in the future to where there will be a benefit to over training.

In so far as the change goes, Ildran said that they were looking to focus more on the agility of [[Rogue]]s, in that over training in armor would allow one to "roll with the punches" more... which equated to damage and crit reduction, if I remember right.

But, before someone starts screaming about how they don't want to spend TPs and over train in armor for these bonuses...

Ildran also said that the armor ranks that you have (read; Train in 30 ranks for brig and stop) will count towards these new mechanics. You will still see these benefits, but at an extremely reduced rate (compared to someone wearing brig with, say... 130 ranks of armor).

Warriors, of course, will have more benefits/options, as Armor is more of a "core skill" for them.

Thus, this potentially falls under the "Rogue love" category.

I didn't go to Simucon either, so I don't know if anybody announced anything or what specifically was announced if anything was announced, but here is what is announcable were announcements to be made:

Right now there are two major things in view. First is the [[Elemental Lore]] Review, which is between Naos and myself, and will have a significant impact on the [[Minor Elemental|400s list]]. We've laid out the groundwork for adding/modifying lore bonuses, and work continues on that. I want to make sure sorcerers have a justifiable reason to consider stacking up some e-lores, IF you so choose.

Second is [[Alchemy]] Phase 2, which will introduce a few dozen new items for sorcerers to make (actually close to 100 if you count all the distinct products with all their little variations). I count 20 unique recipes that are creatable by sorcerers only. None of these Phase 2 items will be replicating spell effects from existing castable spells. Some will be familiar magical effects, others will help establish the sense of player crafting for which Alchemy was conceived. Still others will be totally new items sure to evoke a few oohs and aahs. Implementing A2 is my project.

I'm also continuing to kick out the glitches in [[Animate Dead (730)|730]] to make sure it's as functional as it was intended to be.

Announced at SimuCon:

There are town-based storylines in [[Icemule Trace|Icemule]], [[Ta'Vaalor]], and [[Teras Isle]] beginning in the late fall (post-[[Ebon Gate|EG]] for the most part). We're focusing on storylines in which players can actually influence the outcome to a degree, more than sweeping, world-changing events with a pre-planned, set-in-stone conclusion. The goal is more involving players than putting on a show for players to watch.

We are also planning a late spring/early summer pay event that will be service-oriented, along the lines of the [[Artisan Faire]].

Previously announced, we plan the return of the [[Winterfest Caravan|Winterfest]] late this year (outside Icemule - it's there for a reason, and not just because it's the "cold" city), and early next year, the [[Highman Games]]. Both of these are free events.
