Thanks for the post

[Korsh]

Very nice!

Well, so much for levelling Cleric, looks like I'm off to the Satyr islands to gather tech comps. [:P]

[Foxfire]

Oh Bliss!!!

Was the Construction Window CTD fix moved in as well? I know it was in Blight from other threads, but it wasn't on the Blight Notes either, as I recall.

Just so much goodness here, though. [Y] What to do first?

[Alphamale]

Yep.. after reading the notes, I am pretty fired up. Good work Devs!

[Scorpions]

After reading I can not wait to play now lol. I get my storage for my Sslik Medium house :) YAY

[Ziggy]

Couple questions..,

-Where is the Isle of Wisps?
-I heard rumors of new confectioner forms like apple and pumpkin pies, any truth to that?
-Are the weaker skeletons only found on that island SW of parsinia and have the skull drop rate increased?
-How long will the fall decorations be available for building?

Great job devs, this looks like a outstanding patch if everything works correctly!

[Death-knell]

Wisp island? Anyone know where its at?

[Tantalyr]

Obsidian amounts and locations adjusted

Please please please let the new locations be anywhere near player towns . . . . .

[Martal Bau]

Any chance we can get an updated Map with the new islands?? [:D]

But yea good looking patch.

[LaughingOtter]

May there also be stoneware clay spawn as well....

[Voot]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for yas LaughingOtter and myself cause I am finally approaching optimal on Obsidian bricks and gonna need to move to it from Granite soon

[neural_hoax]

Glad to see that i can use the new ghost vapors for the shining blades quest instead of trying to find the "Not Used XXX Ghost Vapors" that mysteriously changed to new vapors in my vault. Just hope that the rest of the quest isnt borked.

[Althar]

I'd really like to know what this means:

Changed the skill requirements of some materials, and the experience rewards for applying materials to player built structures

After the merge, the difficulty of applying materials to buildings went down to an even 201 over the base skill on all tiers. The difficulty to make the materials didn't change. Wonder if this is changing that?

I'm assuming xp went up as you get almost no xp putting stuff on structures.

[Serat]

Althar,

You mentioned that you get almost no experience from applying items to structures. I do, so wondered if you might be referring to a bug with respect tocertain structures. For example, weaving on a Tier 4 guildhouse, for cotton only...returns a whopping 240 experience for me, but if I apply the same quantity (using same skill levels) cotton materials to a human vault center, I get 1129 or something like that. Can't remember the exact numbers, but I put it in a case report to AE. Anyway, just pointing out that there are some structures that are bugged as far as the experience you get back.
