The Insect Invasion...
THIS IS A TEMPORARY DOCUMENT, TILL I HAVE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT. But the Scenario isn't waiting on my time schedule, so....
OK, we have lots of pieces of information, so here is one thread to bring it all together.
Barkeep Message
"I hear huge insect beasts are coming up from the ground!"
Current Scenario Fiction
I Think, Therefore I Dig
Crazy Miggie
New Monsters:
a black/red solen worker
Relatively weak, about Orc Level
Black bugs in Fel, Red Bugs in Tram
Low Fame Karma
Fully bardable
Unknown if they possess a weakness to Slayer weapons (none was seen in 4 testers)
Loot: ~100 gold, 1-6 zoogi (mushrooms/fungi), random gems
== SUGGESTED TACTICS ==
For Mages, Explosion/E-Bolt works wonderfully, laying most of these out in one. For warriors, just wade in... they don't hit hard.
== SPECIAL LOOT ==
Zoogi - Mushrooms/Fungi. Pure speculation as to their use, stolen from the patched files. "After you have 25 zoogi and you have located the queen solen, you give her the fungi and she gives you a quest. This Quest will give you items like ?Powder? which might charge the bracelets of binding."
Somebody email me some nice 3d pics of these guys at uols@uols.net
a black/red solen warrior
Medium Strong, about Elemental/Deamon Level
Black bugs in Fel, Red Bugs in Tram
Low Fame Karma
Fully bardable
Unknown if they possess a weakness to Slayer weapons (none was seen in 4 testers)
Loot: ~100 - 300 gold, ~3-13 zoogi (mushrooms/fungi), random gems
== SPECIAL ATTACK ==
Warrior Ants will emit globs of acid at players, and if you continue to stand within this acid damage will rapidly excalate.
== SUGGESTED TACTICS ==
Keep your distance, and make sure to stay mobile. Closing to melee with these critters could be deadly! As they die, they will occasionaly explode in a pool of acid. Allow the acid to recede before approaching, as you could kill yourself after the fight is over! Remember, staying close is deadly!
== SPECIAL LOOT ==
a picnic basket: filled with a bottle of wine and wheel of cheese
Powers: none known
Approximately Glacial Staff rarity
== SPECIAL LOOT ==
bracelet of binding
Powers: Unknown at the moment.Gems, Arcane Gems, and some spell combinations have been attempted to charge the item. Speculations from the patch files are that: "Powder, recvd from the queen solen, will allow you to charge these braclets. Afterwards, using the braclet will summon the player to its matched mate."
Attempting to use the item without charges produces the following message:
Approximately Orc Mask rarity
The best places to find solen appears to be Trinsic, Yew, and Cove FORESTS (not towns), though sightings have been found just about everywhere. The respawn rate is rather slow, so if you see corpses, give it a good 10 minutes before you expect more.
New Plant Menu
Notice how it has the potions meters on the side. Very handy!
Clicking on any of the ailments brings up the codex of wisdom, for the authoritative answer on what to do.
The reproductive menu has not changed much.
New Mining Menu
Finally, the ability to set to Ore, or Ore and Granite!
Status Interface has graphical toggles for Stats
Stat management made even easier!
Valor Virtue Active
Yup, Valor is up. Here are the details from the OSI Update Center:
Valor Virtue Specifics on OSI's Update Center
Valor is part of a philosophy within Ultima Online known as the Virtues, and is one of eight pursuits within the upcoming Virtue system.
The Virtue of Valor has been described as:
[pre]
The courage to take actions in support of one’s convictions.[/pre]
The Pursuit of Valor will be designed to allow players who consistently protect the populace against the forces of Evil to challenge the greater Champions of the realm.
* Characters will be able to gain points in Valor through combating the monsters associated with the Champion spawns.
* Characters will be able to “spend” points in Valor to help advance the pace of a Champion spawn.
* Although the activation of a Champion spawn shrine is normally a random occurrence, characters that become “Knights of Valor” will be able to activate such a shrine.
Wierdness
Flowers one minute...
Grass the next.
OSI is looking into the wierd terrain issues.
Of course, we are still collecting information, so feel free to send me any new reports via PM or email ( uols@uols.net)
Credit goes out to Jade, Xzzy, Thrand, Melody, Marie, Nobs, and all the others who brought everything together.
