Revamped pet experience system, tons of clade gift changes and brand new creatures to fight are just some of the additions in patch 0.1.4.5!
Added:
- Certain books can now teach you not only the skill attached to it but also the skill’s parent skills if you do not know them.
- Horse Bags now add a small amount of defense to the mount they are equipped on.
- Pets can now have equipment that adds defense.
- AI can now be set to hide until they aggro.
- Pet leveling has changed; it now uses an experience system. Pets passively gain experience every 10th second while tamed, the amount of experience they gain per tick is based on their current loyalty. The amount uses a curve so the pet gains very little experience when it’s under 800 loyalty and then from 800-1000 it gains much more. The pet gains even more experience if it’s attacking something. Animal Care skill lowers the time between ticks from 10 down to 5 seconds.
- Pets that gain enough experience to level up but the owner don’t have enough pet points to level it up will now keep their experience and level up once the owner has enough pet points. You can see your pet’s experience in the pet window.

- Added Third Priest to Morin Khur.
- Added Sators with Spears.

- with info on what was modified.
- Added a chat message saying if you’re about to change a new weight class with a 30 sec cooldown to avoid getting spammed when eating/taking damage etc.

- Horse Bags are now generated using the pet equipment system when equipped.

- New tamed pets should no longer have their level locked by default.
- Pets no longer follow if their owner dies.
- Horses now keep better distance when following a player.
- Pets with no attacks now ignore attack commands.
- Dead players can no longer see entities on the living side. No more “ghost scouting”.
- Dead players can now see other dead players. The “ghost” appearance is a draft and will be updated with the spiritism patch.
- Moved some Troll spawners that caused some AI behaviour issues.
- Improved randomized character generation routines. This allows us to extend NPC and creature variations to stuff like tattoos, patterns and other details in the future. First noticeable change is that NPCs from for example the Alvarin and Oghmir clades will now appear as either clade member (Veela/Sheevra or Blainn/Huergar).
- The melee charge power curve changed again. It is slightly more linear and bumps the light spam attacks back on the menu, but not as strong as they have previously been.
- Optimization: Multiple equipment updates in one tick are now updated as one batch instead of per part. This reduces character spawn overhead a bit.
Fixes:
- Some NPCs from the non-Human clades had accidentally changed appearance to Human Tindremene and are now restored.
- Guards should now properly equip and unequip their weapons without the weapons instantly teleporting to and from their hands too early.
- Guards no longer re-equip their weapons when switching targets.
- A character queued for spawn could appear as a static figure if it died before the game spawned it in the world.
- Characters no longer “spazz out” randomly after being killed, resulting in broken character parts flying all over the place. Undead for example would sometimes have their armor detach and rattle on the floor on death.
- Cutting off limbs on characters should no longer cause some related armor parts to stay in the world and cause stretchy artifacts.
- AI will now properly cut off limbs on opponents and give them impulses on successful kills. Guards for example can now dismember undeads on kill.
- AI should no longer unintentionally have an absurd height reach. Guards for example could reach a player standing on top of a building while standing on the ground.
- Arrows now get cleared when a character dies or disappears from the world.
- Arrows are now visible on the bow again for other players.
- Players no longer do the change armor animation when being loaded in the distance. The change armor animation now only happens when the other player intentionally changes equipment on their end.

- Characters looking at other characters should no longer get head hitches when switching look-at targets.
- Some creatures would launch into the air when killed due to incorrect collision settings.
- Fixed rare HUD-related crash when equipping a weapon of different type (e.g. changing from bow to melee).
