Don't be alarmed! Crafting and enchanting still work exactly as you would expect.

• Items, with the exception of artifacts, are all pared - there are 33 weapons, armour (all pieces), spells (both types) and rings. These all top out at 2 billion gold and can all be bought from the shop and or crafted. Some of these might move the appropriate crafting skill to 230-250.
• Items with attached affixes have had their prices adjusted as well, since they are not references, but duplicate items.

Crafting + Enchanting (and Future Alchemy)

These skills required you, currently, to spend a disgusting amount of gold, so I have changed how crafting works - slightly:

• Crafting is still random, but: the roll is now between 0 - 100 and not 0 - 400 + bonuses.
• If bonuses exceed 1.0 (100%) then the craft is a success. This should make crafting gear more valuable.
• This make you have more success, with a few failures (if you have no crafting gear) but should see levels go up quicker, thus spending less gold.

The above Info applies to:

• All Crafting Skill
• Enchanting
• 1.1's Alchemy Skill

There are also a few new items to round out the items so that each type has 33.

Monsters

• All monsters will drop more gold across both surface and labyrinth, capping out at 6k per kill on the hardest monster for each plane.
• Labyrinth monsters (for the first levels have been weakened to allow easier entrance)

Small changes.

• Crafting Information Page and Enchanting Information Page have had their tables updated.
  • On crafting you can select the type.
  • On Both you can see the Skill Level Required and Skill Level Trivial.
• Minor Help documentation updates around settings and crafting.
• Items will now show proper % for stats.

Nothing major just some small changes:

• Market Board History Chart can now also be shown by time. That is you can select 24 Hours, 1 Day, 1 Week or 1 Month from the "Show history for last?" drop down button on all history charts.

• Market board now default to showing the last 24 hours worth of sales instead of all sales.

• Adventure name fixed on the completed page.

• Items total stats are now formatted and show not show 5.48674596874596847569% for example. instead it should just be 5%.

This update is minor and brings with it a couple changes:

• For the admin: The market statistics chart works - yay!

Kingdoms

• Kingdom buildings for upgrading and rebuilding will now disable the buttons before posting the data to the server. This should stop the upgrade issue of overusing resources.
• Same thing for units and unit recruitment.
• Unit recruitment now has some tool tips you can hover over to explain more about population cost and such.

Market Place

• Buy and sell now show loaders.

Items/Affixes

• Items and affixes are now properly capped.
• Items costing more then 5k wont drop from mobs.
• Affixes costing more then 1k each wont drop from mobs.

But creator, I just a got a drop valued at 700k+

The way the random item builder works, is it cycles through items and appropriate affixes. We only create a new item if an item with the affix doesn't already exist, if it does we might replace it. So over time the system will clean it's self up in regards to the prices of affixes currently.

That's it. That's all this fixes.

• Equipped enchanted items can no longer be sold via the market board.

• Admin section can now export and import skills. Extreme caution as jobs are not run when importing, so users will not be updated. This is only for setting up the game.
• Other minor bits and bobs I released last night after 1.0.15

See? Nothing special.

Phew, we did it. We changed the attack formula.

• When Attacking (Can you hit?): (attacker.base_stat + Math.round(attacker.dex / 2)) * attackerAccuracy;
• When A Monster is Attacking you (Can Hit? Dodge): (defender.base_stat + Math.round(defender.dex / 2)) * defenderDodge;

To block, its AC > Base Stat

This should fix issues with attacking and with adventures. Your gear does matter.

• Shields no longer provide stat bonuses, instead they provide base defence modifiers.
• New Skills: Fighters Resilience (max level 999, max skill bonus 25%, affects: Attack Timer (-25% at max level))
• Training Skills are now max level 999, they have had their percentages adjusted appropriately.
• Slight monster tweaks.

Market board now uses the api to post items to it, this will allow users to make 100 posts per minute.

• Market board also shows base item cost.
• When clicking on a item on the market board it will now show you a percentage of above or below base cost value.
• New Affixes, Affix level adjustments.

This one brings a few minor changes such as:

• Players who settle 100 kingdoms will trigger a global message
• Players who settle 500 kingdoms will trigger a better message.
• Players who settle 1000 kingdoms will trigger the best of all messages. (Don't go looking through the source and spoil it >.>)

Finally! Skill xp is fixed. The earing of it, in relation to bonuses towards xp from items, adventures, so on and so forth.

• Speaking of which, characters who are not new to the game:

On your next level of your current skill, your xp required to level it will be smaller. New players will see this automatically. It's still a grind, but a manageable grind.

Enemy Kingdoms

So those red enemy kingdoms? Click it. Now I show the name and the morale. Wait.....Did the morale just change? Yup. All enemy kingdoms morale is visible and live updating for every one.

• Finally, settlers are fixed. When attacking kingdoms with settlers, it did nothing. This has been fixed.

If the morale is > 0, the kingdom looses 10%. Else, we take it. That means a kingdoms morale HAS to be zero for your to take it with your next settler.

• Market shop should give you some more lee way with the throttle before timing you out.
• Tables will now set you back to page one when searching and filtering.

Please Creator, we beg of you ..

I have heard you. Go to your inventory child and click on the check boxes.

Creator, is that ....

Yes my child. mass destroy

• Ahem, mass destroy is now a thing for inventory. This will not destroy currently equipped or quest items, but will destroy everything else.

• Map dragging issues fixed, sort of, at various screen sizes. If you have issues, post screen res and issue in bug section on discord.

• Recruitment input for recruiting units is better looking.

This one consists of fixes to the mechanics of battle. While the battle formula will change in 1.1.0, this change removes affixes that grant bonuses to skill training. Instead now you would equip relics.

All affixes have been rebalanced as well as artifacts.

Monsters have also been balanced in a way that uses your level and your equipment. while yes this does make it more of a grind, that is - essentially what - Tlessa is. You are grinding for those drops, you are grinding for those levels, you are grinding for that gear, you are grinding for that gold. You never stop grinding, when you get sick of it - you go on adventures.

Some people have asked: What's the point of this game? What do I do? And I get that, it can be frustrating. It's a game of mindless grind, you chat to people on line or in discord while you grind, you settle kingdoms to get gold essentially. The more you have, the more gold you make per day:

• Kingdoms now give 1000 gold/hr if the morale is above 50%. else it's 100 gold per hour.

The other idea was to give meaning to the grind, so now you have drops that fall, its with enchantments. Players before were not using crafting or enchanting or caring about them. Because of the drops.

• Drops have been nerfed and only specific items and affixes of a specific price may drop in battle or adventure.

I wanted players to feel the achievement of crafting better and better gear and enchanting it. Of feeling the satisfaction of listing it in market and selling it. I mean it cost them a lot of gold to make, so why shouldn't they be rewarded that lucky button click.

• When enchanting, you will see all the available enchantments and their cost in game. If you try to craft a really expensive one - you will fail. Why? You're level is not high enough. Consult the help information for more info under the crafting and enchanting section.

Lets discuss monsters.

The idea is simple: You work your way down the monster list till you reach the last one, then you (assuming you found the Key of the Labyrinth) go to the labyrinth - and fight those monsters as they get even more harder.

Tlessa right now doesn't have the gear or affixes for you to kill, say a Beholder, in the labyrinth. More will be added.

Right now a fully decked out character in the most expensive gear, with no affixes - at level 1000 - can kill Jester of Beleth.

With affixes on top of that gear - which won't drop, but can be bought and crafted - you should be able to make it roughly half way down the monster list in Labyrinth, maybe a little further.

It's simple: You grind for levels, you grind for gold, you grind your skills, you sell, you barter, you wage war, you fight (coming soon). That is what Tlessa and her monsters are about. The slow monotonous (free) grind.

The idea is you work your way down slowly. getting new gear, trying new things. Going on adventures, so on and so forth. People were going way to fast. And that's not what I wanted at all. So I fixed it such that monsters stats are relative to not just your gear, but also your level. Remember you get 2 points in your base damage stat and 1 in everything else, every time you level.

Monsters do have accuracy, and now you have a reason to train that skill, but they also have dexterity. So it's important to mind both.

• Affixes around skills have been removed. Now it's artifacts that do it, and they will not drop off enemies and you cannot enchant them.

This patch also does fix some other issues such as the refresh loop. Which should not happen any more. Instead you should see the proper time out modal.

This patch also fixes kingdoms to be the proper color for you.

There's some other bits and pieces in here, and more will come - but this was vital. Having a well balanced game is important, and while yes the formula does favour accuracy, again the formula is for phase three in 1.1.0
