Mastery Changes

• Magic (T5):

  • Increased the Master Mind Controller range from 8 -> 10 tiles.

  • Increased the Master Mind Controller duration from 30 -> 45 seconds.

  • NPCs that are controlled by Master Mind Controller will now count as player damage, awarding the player the kill for the NPC for drops such as drops & artifacts. (You need to damage the target at least once)

    • Note, attacking an NPC controlled by the player will remove the Master Mind Control effect.

• Magic (All Tiers):

  • Enhanced Power has been reworked. Instead of being based on missing health, it will now be based of stress (up-to 200).

    • Example: 0 stress = 0% bonus, 200 stress = 100% bonus.

    • If the player has T5 @ 75%, this will increase the following:

      • Fire spell’s burn trigger chance from 30% -> 52.5%.

      • Fire spell’s burn damage changed to 0.125% of the current hit (x4) - Increase damage from 0.125% -> 0.22%

      • Wind spell’s stun duration increased by 45%.

      • Earth spell’s damage increased from 40% to 70%

      • Frost spell’s root increased from 5.6s to 9.8s.

        • Note, with a recent change to frost spells - players will be immune to frost root effects for 4s after the 9.8s root finishes

        • Wearing tenacity items such as “Ghostly” will reduce the time spent frozen. 70 tenacity = 70% freeze time reduction (9.8s -> 2.94s).

      • (NEW) Water spell’s attack range increased from 30% to 52.5%. (10 tiles)

• Melee (All Tiers)

  • Increased the Instant Attack damage by up-to 10%.

    • Note, the damage debuff only applies to your next “melee basic attack”, it does not apply to your next special attack.

• Melee (T5)

  • Taunt duration has been reduced from 10s -> 8s.

  • Taunt will now increase the melee damage and accuracy by 10% for anyone attacking the target, not just yourself.

    • Note, this does not stack. If two players use Taunt on the same NPC, it will only increase the melee damage & accuracy by 10%, not 20%.

• Ranged (T5)

  • Trap RNG has been adjusted for the Trap Master ability:

    • Poison Trap: 35% -> 60%. (Poison damage)

    • Tree Spring Trap: 50% -> 25%. (Short stun + Movement displacement)

    • Pit Trap: 15% -> 15%. (Long stun)

  • Traps shot from the Trap Master ability will no longer last indefinitely, they will be destroyed after 60s.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes an issue where the combat level would not be updated and show “level-3”, preventing players from attacking them.

• Fixes a bug with the Taunt ability where using Taunt on a player (that is not skulled) would cause them to be skulled.

  • Instead, if you use Taunt on a player that is not skulled, it will skull you.

• Fixes a bug where you can equip higher level gear when level requirements are not met.

  • Temp level no longer affects what weapons and armor you can equip. It is now based on Current level.

• Fixes a bug where freeze immunity was either too much or too little, depending on tenacity. (Out of sync)

• Fixes a bug where the player would stop attacking an NPC or Player if they ran too far away from the attacker.

• Fixes a bug which “should” resolve the issue where the Action Bar shows incorrect cooldown timers.

• Fixed a bug where incorrect temp-levels were showing in the Skills tab, such as drinking multiple potions and leveling up skills.

• Felborne Assassins will no longer spawn on Tutorial Island.

Pet Perks

• The auto-pickup pet perk will no longer be usable by F2P players.

• The auto-pickup pet perk will no longer work when you have 0 energy.

Engineering Trap Info

• Traps placed by the player will last indefinitely (until server restart)

• Traps will only last 60s if shot from an ability or special attack.

• Trap damage is increased the higher Engineering level you are.

• Trap CC duration is longer the higher Engineering level you are.

Helpful Noob Tips from Mr. Kai

Skill Tips:

• Higher Attack level = increased melee accuracy (less chance to miss).

• Higher Strength level = higher max hit (more damage).

• Higher Defence level = reduced melee & ranged damage and higher chance to dodge melee and ranged attacks.

• Higher Magic level = increased magic accuracy (less chance to miss), increased chance to dodge magic attacks.

• Higher Ranged level = increased ranged accuracy (less chance to miss), higher max hit (more damage).

• Higher Hitpoints level = increased maximum health and increased passive (out of combat) health regeneration.

• Higher Agility level = less stamina (run energy) used.

• Higher Engineering level = increased trap effectiveness -> trap damage, trap cc.

Tips for Melee vs Magic

• Carry around “Ghostly” or “Ranged” armor and switch to it when being attacked by a NPC or Player that is using magic.

  • This will reduce the CC duration of the Root / Stun / Slowed effects by the amount of tenacity the items have. 70 Tenacity = 70% reduction.

  • Ranged armor also gives magic defence bonus, which will reduce the chance that a spell will hit you. Meaning the mage will deal 0 damage, completely missing their CC spell.

Annoyed that you are locked into a specific Mastery tree?

• Soon, you’ll be able to reset your masteries… but at a cost?? Yes, YOUR COMBAT EXPERIENCE!… but you’ll get something a little extra…

  • You may, or may not require **many** 95-99s.
