Subject: Arena and Ratacombs Updates

I'm excited to say I've spent the remaining amount of my sanity on some Duskruin Arena updates! HOORAY!

Just kidding, I never had sanity.

The arena matches are much more action packed now. No more herb munching and waiting an obnoxiously long time to maximize your bloodscrip. Matches will be roughly 6 to 7 minutes long where you face 25 creatures one-on-one. Every 5 matches you'll face a champion similar to the champions in the previous version of the arena. There are over 20 new creatures in the arena to face. Most creatures can perish to a critical blow, outside the champions. You earn bloodscrip for each creature you kill. You also earn a bonus if you defeat all 25 creatures in the time limit. Dying no longer incurs a bloodscrip penalty, but surrendering still does.

I've also introduced new hazards. I removed the darts, arrows, spiked ball-and-chain, and boulders. Hazards can now be avoided in a small mini-game during arena matches. I will leave it to you to figure it out. It's not terribly hard, and the term "mini-game" probably is an exaggeration of what it is. But it adds flavor. Hazards are a little more deadly though.

You can now earn a time bonus too that works in a more favorable way. The quicker you make it through, the higher the bonus. You can earn a max of 225 bloodscrip plus the time bonus.

The Ratacombs have also had a minor update. It seems more wildlife has escaped into the sewers, as well as some other sort of rats. So you may find something different this time around. There are also some minor obstacles in the sewers when you SEARCH to add some flavor.

We'll be relaunching this Friday and staying open for a week.

Subject: New Items

So we've added a handful of new items.

There are 5 helmets that have resistance and padding in Gamac's Goods.

There are 3 new mannequins in The Mar and Scar with high-end loot. We've readjusted the price on the faenor waraxe as well (lower). All the armors are similar in properties. I'll explain more about the other wares later. There is also an infamous spoon and a butcher knife for sale there too.

We added 2 new X/day items, floating disk and invisibility, but they are 2x/day.

There is a 6x/6x acuity NerveStaff for sale.

>>Would that spoon happen to be mangled?

D

>>That 6X/6X Nervestave is going to be very nice for whomever gets it.

It's not limited.

>>Also, are the high end scrolls back, same as last run?

Scrolls are still there.

>>Please tell me one of them has a katana... preferably in a metal I don't own!

Should have spent time suggesting katanas of rare metals instead of calling me a slacker!

>>So when you say new wild life escaped into the sewers do you mean different types of rodents or something completely different? Just curious what I will be adding to my walking zoo this weekend.

Different types of rats. Sewer rats are the most abundant. There are 15 more descriptors and 5 new types of rats.

>>Is this going to be limited like the rot staves?

Right now, there is nothing limited at this event. But there is a high chance we will rotate some gear for next time, so don't count on the same wares after this run.

>>Also, I see one comment about leaving it open for 2 weekends this time, is that real or will it be shorter?

The event will run from 5/1 at (roughly) 9pm until 5/10 at (roughly) 9pm ET.

Some shops MAY be closed on opening night, but we'll make sure they are open by Sunday at the latest.

I was able to add hoop, shard, sliver, fang, and hook. Plurals don't work as it's set up right now. Hope you all will enjoy the 5 new nouns though!
