Spring Festival 2013 Istaria Community Manager May 29, 2013
	Spring Festival A spring festival has been added this year to the island of New Brommel. Players will find sign posts directing them from the portal pad toward the festival. Though small this year, and NPC's in game will explain the reason why, this year's festival is still going to happen. Three Festival Vendors / Quest-Givers have been added to the grounds: Torailean, Gata, and Ssaulious. New Masks and headscales are available to those who complete Torailean's quest. New patterns for creating the Butterfly Banner and Lair Mural are available for those who complete Gata's riddle. A new pattern for lair murals and banners is being given out by Ssaulious for those who will hear his story as to what happened to the festival. There are new plot structures available with this Event: The Festival Tent comes in multiple colors and, once built, will have a Tavernkeeper and Cooking Table available to players. Other new structures include small pots, a cluster of ferns, and a wonderful trellis fence players can build around their plots. Read More...

	Riddle Solver augmentation has been fixed to no longer take up a Gift slot and no longer uses an asset. Ssaulios now has the proper stack size for the Tavernkeeper Hiring Permit so that he'll sell it to more than one person. Blue and Red Festival Tents can now be properly activated with structures. (Any existing tents will have to be deconstructed before they can be activated.) New Plot structures have been fixed so they will sort alphabetically properly. Trees buildable on plots are now set to a limit of 20 per type. Shops buildable on plots now have a limit of 1 per type. Tents, Silos and Storehouses have an upper limit of 25 per type on player plots. Clothworking Center, Essence Circle, Gemcutting Structure, Ore Refinery, Tannery were improperly showing up as buildable on some larger plots, and will no longer do so. Most decorative objects for plots have been set to have a limit of 5 per type. This will allow us to introduce new player buildable objects over time. Exceptions to this are Fall Festival Decorations, Winter Festival Decorations, Walls (all types), Fences, Flooring, and Walkways, which are still unlimited in how many each plot can hold. Note that structures currently planned on plots are not effected by these changes, and will continue to function properly.

	Quest "Delgarath Militia: Scout the Surrounding Area" now contains some additional reminders about Carmichael's map as well as some grammar fixes. Quest "Primal Instant Heal I: The Power of Healing" now properly references Loricatus Beetles instead of Sand Beetles. Quest "Tooth and Claw I: Sharpen your Claws and Teeth" now properly references Loricatus Beetles instead of Sand Beetles. Extra chat links in "Forest of Troubles" and "Thurid's Wraith Cores" quests have been removed. "Forest of Troubles" quests now award proper coin and experience as well as the proper Tech Kit upon completion rather than double rewards. Improved directions in the quest "The Final Frontier (Part 3) and moved Wounded Scout to make it easier to find. Fixed numerous gender issues, grammar problems and spelling errors in the various Eastern Outpost quests. "Thurid: Wraith Core" quests now use the proper keyword so that the extraloot event on the quests will work as intended. Directions have been updated for players to be able to find the Disgraced Magus a bit easier. Undead Slayer and Ironwood technique kits can now be properly applied to swords and daggers. Further, they must be applied to T5 or higher weapons. Wraith Cores are now stackable. Purified Wraith Cores are also stackable, but can not be traded as they are a quest-only item. Undead Cores are also now stackable. Thurid's Stone of Wrath now has an effect against undead associated with it. Thurid's Wraith Core: Part 3 now properly gives the formula Expert Tech Kit: Undead Slayer as part of the reward. Final Frontier Part 2 quest has been set up to provide a random reward now. Cluster of Ferns model displays properly now. Orientation of Oven & Cooking table in Festival Tent. Purple, Blue or Red Festival Tents now available. They require the purchasing of a Tavernkeeper Hiring Permit from Ssaulios during the Spring Festival, as well as other tier 2 resources to build.

Spring Festival Comes to Blight! Istaria Community Manager May 4, 2013
	Spring Festival A spring festival has been added this year to the island of New Brommel. Players will find sign posts directing them from the portal pad toward the festival. Though small this year, and NPC's in game will explain the reason why, this year's festival is still going to happen. Three NPC's have been added to the festival grounds. New Masks and headscales are available to those who complete Torailean's quest. New patterns for creating the Butterfly Banner and Lair Mural are available for those who complete Gata's riddle. A new pattern for lair murals and banners is being given out by Ssaulious for those who will hear his story as to what happened to the festival. In addition, players will find new buildable structures for their plots. A new Festival Tent is available which has connected to it a Tavernkeeper and Cooking Table. At this time it is a known issue that some Festival Tents can not be properly activated. Festival Tents are currently set to need just a single resource to build temporarily so that they can be built and deconstructed easily while on Blight in hopes of having a fix for this bug. This will be changed before release to live. Other new structures include small pots, a cluster of ferns, and a wonderful trellis fence players can build around their plots. Read More...
