Mithril Shop (MTX)

Mithril

• We are very excited about bringing you some awesome cosmetic features with the introduction of Mithril! Patch 1.123 will launch our first Mithril Mount and our new Patterning system!
  • We’ll be continually rolling out additional cosmetic features and quality of life enhancements (Name, Race respecs and others) as soon as they are ready!
• Mithril is no longer an in-game currency known as the mythical and unobtainable 1,000+ platinum. Mithril is no longer connected in any way with the in-game currencies of Copper, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
• Mithril can now only be purchased with real money (and to begin with, only via the Origin.com store) and cannot be obtained in any other way in-game.
• Purchased Mithril will be shown and shared across ALL characters and servers on linked game accounts (that fall under the same billing information). Mithril will NOT be able to be traded.

How it works

• As of 1:00 PM EST on July 18^th 2017, players will be able to visit Origin.com and purchase Mithril packs at the following prices (all pricing listed in USD):
  • $4.99: 425 Mithril
  • $9.99: 850 + 125 bonus = 975 Mithril
  • $19.99: 1,700 + 500 bonus = 2,200 Mithril
  • $49.99: 4,250 + 1,500 bonus = 5,750 Mithril

• Once a pack has been purchased, your Origin account’s email will receive a redeemable code (just like how Game-Time Codes work) that can be applied to your account on the accounts.eamythic.com Account Center website.
• Once a pack has been applied to an account, ALL game accounts under that Origin email will receive the Mithril.
  • If you have linked accounts that are currently using the same billing information that you do NOT want to share Mithril across, you will need to un-link those accounts.
  • Account security is paramount always, but even more so if you plan on purchasing Mithril!
• Simply login to the game once you’ve applied the Mithril pack to your account(s) and you will see the purchased Mithril on your paperdoll inventory window, just below where the existing in-game currencies appear.
  • Custom User Interface developers should note that the pperdoll.bmp image has been changed on the client and adjust their UIs accordingly, if applicable.
• To purchase items with your Mithril, simply visit your realm’s capital city and locate the Mithril Merchant outside the Throne Room.

• Browse wares as you would on any other in-game store. Purchased items will go into your pack so long as there is space available.
• Some items, such as mounts, will be game account-based (not Origin account) while most other items, such as patterns, are character-based. Account-based items will be specifically flagged as such and won’t be purchasable if your account already has credit for it. Please check each item’s information before purchasing.
• ALL items purchased with Mithril are NOT able to be traded, sold, or placed in house vaults. Mithril is shared across all characters and servers on linked game accounts, so please login the specific character you wish to purchase the item(s) on; as once purchased, the items will not be able to be traded!

Patterning System

We’re very excited to introduce the new “Patterning” system with patch 1.123!

• Patterns are only able to be purchased with the new Mithril currency from the Mithril Merchants in each capital city.
• Patterns are a way to change your look, without affecting your item stats!

• Patterns work similarly (but still differently!) to the item Dye system that exists already:
  • There is a ‘Blank Pattern’ for each visible piece of equipment: Helm, Gloves, Boots, Sleeves, Pants, Chest, Cloak, and Weapon (includes shields) that can be purchased on the Mithril Merchant.
    • There is also a ‘Removal Pattern’ item that will clear out applied patterns and restore an item to its original look.
  • Blank Patterns are first dragged and dropped onto the item they wish to COPY in your character’s inventory. They then change from a ‘Blank’ Pattern to a ‘Pattern: <copied item’s name>’.
    • Patterns in this state can be re-applied to the item they copied from to clear the pattern again and return it to a ‘Blank’ Pattern. This is the only “undo” button with patterns!
  • ‘Pattern: <copied item’s name>’ can then be applied to the item you wish to change the look of. Again, simply drag and drop the pattern onto the item you wish to change in your inventory.
  • Once a pattern is applied to an object, the pattern is consumed and cannot be restored. The patterned item will now always look like the item you copied the look from, but retain all of its stats! Again, to restore an item to its original look, a ‘Removal Pattern’ must be purchased and applied to the item.
  • Please note that ONLY usable items by your character AND items that match perfectly can be patterned.
    • For example:
      • A helm cannot be patterned to look like boots, and a Cloth armor helm cannot be patterned into a Chain armor helm, or vice versa.
      • A sword cannot be patterned to look like an axe. Similarly, a two-handed sword cannot be patterned to look like a one-handed sword, or vice versa.
        • For weapons, damage types must also match, so a heat legendary cannot be made to look like a spirit legendary weapon, etc.
      • A small shield cannot be patterned to look like a large shield, or vice versa.
    • When patterning, the look of the copied item transfers to the other item. However, any emblems will not transfer over with the pattern and will need to be re-applied.
      • Dyes and dyability WILL transfer over to the newly copied item, even if that item was previously not able to be dyed. Removing the pattern will revert these dye states.
      • Patterned items also display their name of the item they are copied from in their large item delve window.
    • Finally, ALL patterned items are NOT able to be traded, even if that item was able to be traded before the item was patterned. To allow the item to be traded again, a ‘Removal Pattern’ must be applied to it.

Mithril Mounts

        
 

• A realm specific mount is now available for purchase on the Mithril merchants!
  • The Stone Dragon mount in Albion
  • The Wolf Dragon mount in Midgard
  • The Glimmer Dragon mount in Hibernia
• Each mithril mount purchase unlocks that realm’s mount for the entire game-account!
  • If you purchase one of the realm’s mounts on 1 character on your account, your other characters on that account will not be able to purchase it again.
  • To acquire the mount on characters that did not purchase the mount (but another character on the account already did), simply speak with the Mithril Merchant in each realm’s capital city to obtain it!

• If a mount is lost, simply visit the Mithril Merchant to obtain another!
• Tight on inventory space? The Mithril Merchant will also hold onto the mithril-purchased mount for your character. Simply re-visit the merchant to get the mount back whenever desired.
• These mounts still require a saddle or armor to be equipped to achieve maximum run speed.
  • Please note that no saddle, armor, or barding art will visibly show on these mounts.
• These mounts may only be obtained by level 50 characters.
• These mounts are not able to be sold to merchants, vaulted, or traded to other players.

Realm vs Realm

Emain Macha, Odin’s Gate, Hadrian’s Wall

• The intrepid explorers north of Dun Bolg apparently weren’t wasting their days wandering the woods and are, in fact, intrepid. To King Lamfhota, who assumed them a lost cause, and Hibernia’s delight, they discovered the long lost Moydruim Castle and began digging it out of centuries of dirt. Alas, Albion’s scouts quickly found the site and scattered the explorers back into the woods while Hibernia’s forces were away sacking a half-built fortress in Midgard. Now their ancient castle is up for grabs. Artifacts and relics could lie baking in the sun, yearning out for brave treasure hunters to just reach out and pick them up!
  • The Supplies for the Cause quest supply crates have been moved from the formerly-ruined keep of Dun Crauchon to Moydruim Castle’s abandoned dig site.
    • The supply crates now have a 10% chance to drop rare Alchemy components when gathered by characters on the quest who have not yet completed the crates’ step.
  • Doppelgangers have been spotted nearby.
  • The realms are quickly discovering the attraction of this ancient find.

• King Eirik, hearing of these ancient discoveries in Hibernia sent out his finest in search of a long lost Viking Hall to rival them. Alas, it was not to be – wood just doesn’t last like stone. Not one to sit around and mope, well, at least not one to mope, Eirik quickly hatched a plan to build himself a mighty hall! A barracks! One that could double as a fortress so he could better stage his invasion forces. The Trellebourg was born; and much faster than anticipated. He quickly launched an assault on Albion and crushed their rebuilding efforts at a lake stronghold in Hadrian’s Wall. But the Trellebourg was left almost completely undefended and Hibernia’s siege engines laid waste to its mighty outer wall. The towering barracks yet stands and so there is hope that The Trellebourg might rise again!
  • The Supplies for the Cause quest supply crates have been moved from the formerly-ruined keep of Bledmeer Faste to The Trellebourg’s crumbling walls.
    • The supply crates now have a 10% chance to drop rare Alchemy components when gathered by characters on the quest who have not yet completed the crates’ step.
  • Doppelgangers have been spotted nearby.
  • Will Midgard rebuild or will Albion or Hibernia capture it and turn it against them first?

• Constantine remembered his younger days and the many adventures had in the lake-towns among the highlands of Hadrian’s Wall. It had always been his dream to re-build the dam protecting one of his favorites: Pike Lake. Lost to memory until a scout reported that it had been stumbled upon with its stronghold in good condition. He’d had his chance and missed it. That blasted Eirik had found his men and caught them unawares as they went about construction. Worse yet, Eirik’s men broke the dam and now the ruins of the town were flooded worse than ever. What a folly it was to try and build a dam amid a war. At least his strike on the strange archaeological site in Hibernia had gone to plan. Folly. Indeed. Wouldn’t that be a good name? Let it be folly for them to try and take it again!
  • The Supplies for the Cause quest supply crates have been moved from the formerly-ruined keep of Caer Benowyc to Folley Lake’s overflowing shores.
    • The supply crates now have a 10% chance to drop rare Alchemy components when gathered by characters on the quest who have not yet completed the crates’ step.
  • Doppelgangers have been spotted nearby.
  • Folley Lake has its new name. Who will make it their namesake?

• The formely-ruined keeps and two towers of Caer Benowyc in Hadrian’s Wall, Dun Crauchon in Emain Macha, and Bledmeer Faste in Odin’s Gate have been permanently restored to fully-functional keeps.
  • The /realmwar window should once again show them as normal, coastal keeps and towers.
  • With the addition of the new RvR-focused areas above being somewhat near these keeps, the plan is to stick with only 2 towers so as not to crowd the areas.

Ellan Vannin

• Safe-port has returned to Ellan Vannin, however its timer has been increased from 60s to 10 minutes.
  • Realms must own both of their “relic” keeps (Caer Renaris/Caer Hurbury, Dun Ailinne/Dun Scathaig, Fensalir Faste/Arvarkr Faste) to be able to port to the safe area.
  • The one-way paths down from the safe port areas have been removed. There is only the single path down once again.
• Buggane’s Obelisk continues to only provide bounty point and coin bonuses.

Keep Resource Crates

• This system was not having the desired effect and has been removed.

Keep Ownership Bonuses
 

• Outpost ownership bonuses have been reduced with the return of the ruined keeps to non-ruined status:
  • 2 keeps owned - 10% to 2% RPs
  • 3 keeps owned - 5% to 2% BP/Coin/XP
  • 4 keeps owned - 25% to 5% RPs
  • 5 keeps owned - 15% to 5% BP/Coin/XP
  • 6 keeps owned - 25% to 15% BP
  • 7 keeps owned - 40% to 15% RP
  • 8 keeps owned - 25% to 15% XP
  • 9 keeps owned - 25% to 15% Coin
  • 10 keeps owned - 40% to 25% BP
  • 11 keeps owned - 40%  25% XP
  • 12 keeps owned - 40% to 25% Coin
  • 13 keeps owned - 50% to 25% RP

Quests

• The Ghost Keep event and RvR bonuses have come to an end.

A new "Daily" quest system has been added.

• Daily quests are just like normal quests except that they can only be obtained once per day.
  • The daily quest timer resets each day at 12:01 AM EST. So long as a given daily quest was not already completed that day or isn't already in progress, it can be obtained each new day.
    • This means there is no time limit on completing a daily quest, just a limit on how often they can be obtained after a completion.
      • For example, a player can get a daily quest on Monday, complete it that same day, and they won't be able to get it again until 12:01 AM (EST) on Tuesday. However, a player can also get a daily quest on Monday, wait to complete it on Wednesday, and then can get the quest again on Thursday at 12:01 AM.

• To start, daily quests have only been introduced in the Frontiers as RvR-related quests:
  • There are 3 "always-available" daily quests and 1 randomly-chosen daily quest each day.
    • The always available daily quests are as follows:
      • [Daily] Roaming with Friends - This quest requires players to kill 75 enemy realm players in the open-field (not near keeps, towers, docks, ruins, etc.) while grouped.
      • [Daily] The Solo Road - This quest requires players to kill 15 enemy realm players while solo.
      • [Daily] For the Realm - This quest requires players to kill 50 enemy realm players in any keep that is currently under siege, while grouped.
        • These quests grant players 15,000 realm points per completion, per quest.
        • These quests are only available to level 50 players.
        • All 3 of these quests can be picked up at once, the daily timer only applies to each quest on a per character basis.
    • The randomly chosen daily quests are as follows:
      • [Daily] Battle of Lucan's Summit - Defeat 50 enemy realm players around Lucan's Summit (entire "plateau" area in Albion's Frontier)
      • [Daily] Battle of Uald Heights - Defeat 50 enemy realm players around Uald Heights (entire "plateau" area in Midgard's Frontier)
      • [Daily] Battle of the Cavana Drift - Defeat 50 enemy realm players around Cavana Drift (entire "plateau" area in Hibernia's Frontier)
      • [Daily] War for Ellan Vannin - Defeat 50 enemy realm players in Ellan Vannin
      • [Daily] Brough Ruins Skirmish - Defeat 50 enemy realm players around the Brough Ruins (Albion "maze" area)
      • [Daily] Hvedungr Hill Skirmish - Defeat 50 enemy realm players around Hvedrungr Hill (Midgard "maze" area)
      • [Daily] Nuala's Ruins Skirmish - Defeat 50 enemy realm players around Nuala's Ruins (Hibernia "maze" area)
        • All 3 realms will be given the same randomly-chosen quest each day so that everyone has the same quest and objective for that day.
        • These quests grant players 25,000 realm points per completion, per quest.
        • These quests are only available to level 50 players.
        • This quest can be obtained in addition to the 3 "always available" daily quests, for a total of 4 daily quests on a character per day. A character cannot obtain any additional rotated daily quests on subsequent days until the one they are on is either abandoned or completed.
  • Enemy player kill quests' credit is determined by the group who gets the deathblow on the player. Battlegroup credit is not possible for this reason.
  • These quests can be obtained from the following NPCs in each realm's relic towns, border keeps, or in Ellan Vannin's safe portal locations:
    • Albion: General Kogis
    • Midgard: General Bruki
    • Hibernia: General Vegda

• Several RvR tasks and quests have been removed and are meant to be replaced with this new daily quest system.
  • This includes all personal and group missions received from General Kogis, General Bruki, and General Vegda.
  • Commander Wentworth, Commander Hrurdin, and Commander Locke have had all of their RvR quests removed except for the Scouting Ellan Vannin quest.
  • The “statue” quests given out by the tournament winner statues can now only be completed once per character, total.
• All other RvR quests and tasks remain available.
• The supply crates now have a 10% chance to drop rare Alchemy components when gathered by characters on the quest who have not yet completed the crates’ step.
  • The Supplies for the Cause quest will no longer be automatically granted to characters who interact with the supply crates OR rubble.
    • The Supplies for the Cause quest is still obtainable from the Dockmasters near Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, or Dun Crauchon.
• The Royal Accountant's still require assistance with the Doppelganger threat.

Item Changes

Ablatives

• All item-based, single-target ablative spells that were /used or procced have been converted to melee AND magic ablatives. This should cause less ablative stacking overall since the same type of ablative cannot stack with itself (the higher value ablative overwrites the lower).
  • Item-based ablative have had their values reduced as follows (these are based on current live values):
    • 500+ down to 250.
    • 301-499 down to 200.
    • 201-300 down to 175.
    • 151-200 down to 150.
    • 126-150 down to 125.
    • 90-124 set to 100.
    • 75-89 set to 75.
    • 50-74 set to 50.
    • 35-49 set to 35.
    • 34 and lower set to 25.
    • All ablative % absorbed values remain untouched. In other words, if a 350 melee-only ablative prior to 1.123 had a 50% damage absorption rate, it will now be a 200 melee and magic ablative with a 50% damage absorption rate.
  • Pre-existing melee and magic ablatives have also had their values lowered. So Frozen Medal of Honor's ablative /use has been reduced from 500 to 250 too.
• Again, this change only affects item-based ablatives. Class, realm ability, and loyalty cloak ablative buffs remain as they are: melee, magic, or melee/magic.

World Changes

• Task Dungeons are now disabled.
  • This is to encourage players to group up or participate in open-world PvE content such as the battlegrounds, classic-world dungeons, town quests, or various other open world content. Task dungeons are not in-line with making the game feel alive. 
  • The task dungeon instances may be used for some other purpose down the road that better aligns with bringing players together.
