World

Mithril Shop Race, Gender, and Name Changes

• Race and Gender changes now allow players to change their character’s height setting at no additional cost.
  • The height setting will only change upon application of a gender or race change and is not an option otherwise.
    • Users can *only* change the height setting during the gender or race change flow and cannot go back and adjust it after applying said race or gender modification.
  • Please note that while performing a race and gender respec, the newly modified character’s height is reset to Average (the default setting) regardless of what the original character’s height was set to.
    • For race changes, the starting stats are also reset to their default optimized-stat settings. If a character had customized starting stats, they will need to be re-set during or after performing the race change.

Spellcraft Tradeskill Window

• All recipes in the Spellcrafting tradeskill window have been re-organized and given additional information as follows:
  • Each gem category now explicitly states its gems’ stat, resist, skill, or other bonus in the recipe name.
    • Example: Instead of “Earthen Essence Jewel” the recipe list now says “Earthen Essence Jewel (Constitution Stat)” for its category.
  • Each individual gem within a category now explicitly states its bonus amount at each level.
    • Example: Instead of simply saying “Raw” in the category list, it now says “Raw +2” for a stat gem or “Raw 1%” for a resist gem, etc.
  • Specialization-based Magic Focus recipes have been removed from the spellcraft tradeskill window entirely.
    • +ALL Magic Focus gems (“Brilliant” recipes) can still be crafted and found in the window as normal.
    • Already-crafted magic focus bonus gems that are only for a specific specialization can still be imbued to crafted armor and will work normally, they can just no longer be newly created.
• Please note that once the gems are crafted they will only have their existing default names with no additional identifying information: “Earthen Essence Jewel”.
  • However, users can already delve these crafted gems to determine their exact bonus type and amount.
