Changes for food, cooking and baking

We have redistributed the values for all food items (both satiation and for the diet system) and the recipes for their preparation were adjusted accordingly. Now one can also carry the ingredients for cooking and baking at the belt and in the bag.

The items black berry, sand berry and red elder are now edible.
Orcs can eat raw meat, lizards raw fish.

The changes will apply after the next server restart.

Good days - Bad days

Everyone knows the short messages appearing if one logs in that show how the character feels today. This messages were replaced by not less then 216 new, race specific messages.

Thanks for this work to PO Dariya, the llama-man and Zak. They created, translated and corrected all these messages.

Minor change with the druid system

As anouncend we changed the languages of the three druid almanacs. You can't read the books with ancient language any more.

maintenance work

As a result of maintenance work on the gameserver we will have some short breaks within the next two days. The breaks my last up to 10 minutes and will not be announced.
I regret and apologize for inconveniencing.

New Druid System

The new druid system will be activated within the next few days. This is the first installment, in order to introduce the druid system sooner than later. For now we skimmed by with the graphics we have, but new graphics will be coming in the future.

For roleplay sake, the advent of the new druid system will be explained in a post on the RP forum, and will also be readable ingame.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How do I become a druid?
Currently all characters on the gameserver technically are set to the Wizard class. There will be a potion that resets your class to Druid. It's important that you're sure you want to be a druid if you use this potion, because there will be side effects that go along with it that cannot be taken back.

2. What happens to my skills, magic runes and attributes?
All skills but "Alchemy" will remain the same after the change. The Alchemy skill will be lowered by one half or no higher than 24 points. That means if you have under 48 skill points in Alchemy your skill will be halved. If your skill is higher than this it'll be lowed to 24. This will be done for the sake of balance at the start of the system.
Once you become a Druid, all magic runes you might have will be deactivated.
All attributes will remain as is.

3. Where can I get my basic equipment?
The equipment needed for a druid can easily be found ingame. If it can't be crafted by players it's available from our NPC merchants.

Closing Words:
The Druid system is under constant development; Alchemy is only the first installment. The formulas of potions are game secrets that shouldn't be published, ingame or out, and at the very most should be left as word of mouth. Sophisticated potions should not be sold at a loss as mass products but handled as luxuries because of their scarceness and the expense of production. Recipes are trade secrets and ensure the income of a druid. If those recipes become common currency we reserve the right to change them for this reason.

We strove to bring new ways of having fun to the gameplay with this system, and did a lot of research and difficult work to do so.
We wish everybody fun and success in exploring the Druid system of Illarion and as always we're open to suggestions and constructive criticism.
