Event Teaser - From the
Zone  Ardry sat by the campfire, nursing a cup of
hot cocoa. Though trying to rest, he kept his back to the fire and his
eyes watchful of the surrounding darkness. Closer by the fire sat his
uncle, Aliester the Loquacious, binding arrowheads into neat bundles.
“There,” Aliester announced, “done with the last of the wrapping. Mark my words, Ardry, you'll be glad of this once we've journeyed into the Direlands, miles away from the nearest portal and any source of ammunition. Now for my alchemical supplies. . .” “Hush, uncle, I think there's something out there. . .” Ardry, suddenly alert, took up his axe. Heedless, the old scholar continued to prattle on. “I must say, I've done an admirable job of fletching. Maybe I ought to submit an application to Eluard, eh? Who says a scholar cannot be skilled in the arts of battlefield support?” “I'd rather not have to deal with Eluard, uncle. He's a pompous windbag, at best. Where does he get off, with this pretentious guild of his?” “Ardry, I think that Eluard's work-- Great good heavens!” Aliester yelped and dropped his bundle as he was engulfed in an Ash Gromnie's blast of lightning. Ardry leaped to his feet, axe ready, and quickly killed the beast. That done, he went to check on his uncle, who looked singed and dazed, but otherwise still alive. “Uncle! Are you all right?” The old sage blinked, then looked up. “Unbelievable, uncle. How did you survive that blast?” Ardry leaned in for a closer look. Aliester's legs crackled with dissipated electricity. “Are those my chainmail leggings you're wearing?” With visible effort, Aliester gathered his wits. “Why, yes, they are. . . fit nicely, you see, quite comfortable. . .” Ardry simply shook his head and muttered, “What luck you have, uncle.” Unlike any other gaming experience, the world of Asheron's Call continues to evolve. Last month, not only did the new gambling halls open but so did Linvak Tukal, the impressive Lugian citadel and seat of the giants' power in Dereth. One can only wonder what additions -- and what dangers -- will be added when we soon open our May event, “The Changing of the Ways.” Be sure to continue your part in this
incredible ongoing story, and we'll see you in Dereth! Roll Out Article - From the Zone May 16, 2001
Those who consider the matter do not name their sword or shield as their most vital possession. Rather, they point to their pack, without which no treasure may be ported, nor reagents or potions carried at the ready. For Dereth's travelers, this month's improved efficiency of pack space comes as welcome news. Items may be stacked in greater quantities, and the Empyrean mana-alloy coins known as pyreals have begun to exhibit another miraculous trait -- they are now completely weightless! Yet in this world there are those who wander wide and those who remain to craft. Since recent events transpired, trade artists have toiled through the nights perfecting the fruits of their skill -- readying all of Dereth, perhaps, for future encounters with unfriendly forces. Smiths have forged lighter suits of plate, with better protection against the hostile elements. Mages have augmented the effects of many spells; certain magical enhancements now last longer, while burdensome counters evaporate more quickly. More efficient methods of creation and bundling have even been developed by fletchers and alchemists. In all, adventurers can now fill their packs with more and greater items, whether created by master craftsmen or purchased in the new trading post en route to the Direlands. Of course, many who travel the fey byways of Dereth are far more than mere “adventurers.” There are those who wield the axe, the sword, even the mystic arts of spellcraft with the precision of a master. The opportunity is now at hand for them to claim long-deserved titles -- if only they can conclude their chosen path. Should such travelers happen to fall along the way, however, at least they'll be able to locate their corpse with far greater precision. . . Following is a list of the most interesting additions made to the game this update. However, please note that not all changes have been included -- that would spoil the fun of finding out everything that's been added or changed! As usual, though, the town criers, barkeeps, and scribes may know the latest news. Also, the trades of crafting and selling are always in flux, so changes to prices and abilities of items are not always listed here in their entirety. Highlights include:

Developer's Chat - From the Zone May 7, 2001
Serephina Folks for chat until the Dev chat is
ready to start feel free to also join #asheron for open public chat....
Auz Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to this month's developer chat with Turbine. Auz Again, thank you all for attending, and now I'll hand you over to Azeraphel for the introductions :) Azeraphel Hey, everyone. I'm Nik Davidson, Producer for AC, here with my colorful cohorts; Allan "Orion" Maki, community guru, Cardell Kerr, (who just kicked my butt at basketball,) Jesse "devilmouse" Kurlancheek, and Sean "One Man Art Studio" Huxter... with more possibly to arrive later on. Thanks to Auz and the Stratics folks for hosting us tonight - and without further ado, let's get on with the chat. Auz *Dennisg* Question: Is there any changes to the
Hieromancer Armor in this upcoming May Update?
Xeveniah <Achtung> Are there any plans or
possibilities for more fixed outdoor monster spawns? The Lugian commander
areas are a huge blast - its like a 24/7 bar room brawl going on. Its an
interesting alternative than a dungeon with wall drainers and macroers.
Dell To be truthful, you stand a much larger chance of seeing more outdoor spawns than other OHN's Dungeons that are over crowded tend to be a large hit on server performance, so they are going to be avoided in the future. Auz *Archbow* Could the burden of books be lowered?
480 is a bit much, maybe 240? Dell Okay, it is a bit large, considering what they actually do for you. Dell Punishing people for carrying lore on them isn't really in our best interest, so we'll take a look at it. Auz *Xitel* Currently, I have to travel all the way
to Sawato to get blunt arrowheads. If mages were required to travel to only
Sawato to get orange tapers, I think there would be a huge outcry. We
archers have been patience enough. Give us our arrowheads!
devilmouse I want fletching on my main again. *sigh* devilmouse availability up! useability up! Auz *CVeRiTy* Are there any plans to change the
"You have jumped too recently" message? I understand why this was done, but
it doesn't seem like a very practical solution. This has many negative
effects on the gameplay, especially when jumping is often used as part of a
challenge to a dungeon, but also as part of evading attacks. On a side note,
this was a most excellent patch. Thank you for the wonderful features you
added! Dell Though jumping is fairly important to quests, jumping multiple times in quick succession isn't. Dell Therefore, it is my sad duty to inform you that that fix is there to stay. Auz *Astral_Dominae_TD* Can you make Trade note
stackable please? i hate to fill pack space with D notes , especially since
all my mages packs are full anyway. Thank you and keep on doin this great
game :) devilmouse Your answer lies within... devilmouse No, trade notes can't be made stackable, even if they come from the same vendor. There are technical issues that make it impossible to stack these, unfortunately. devilmouse The wallet idea has technical problems also -- we can't do this for the same reason we can't give people more backpacks. (Basically, it causes lag.) Auz *Thufir* Do you think youll ever implement new
trade skills, or melee skills into AC1? Gems are pretty useless right, and
alot more could be done with dyes, and hides. Or are you waiting for AC2?
Azeraphel And if we had the brand new functionality, we'd have to think long and hard about creating a new skill rather than adding to existing ones, which would probably impact more players. Azeraphel That's the long answer. The short answer is "no". :) Auz *ClockworkII* hey I want to know if theirs any
plans to change the ratio for magic d from self+focus/7 to say self+focus/6
or something? Dell Part of the whole monster rebalancing that we've been doing is to make magic defense practical. Dell Granted, you aren't going to see many people walking into a crowd of umbris laughing maniacally as they get hit with spells. devilmouse Like me? =) Dell However, when you fight things that roughly your level, you should resist their creature and life spells about 50% of the time if you dumped points into it. Dell Heh, not like you DM.... no one is like you. Auz *Total_Eclipse* With more and more people
casting high level spells have you considered taking out the spell economy,
and if not maybe reducing it's effects at peek times when it's really bad?
devilmouse On a vaguely related note, the "reversed" economy for some of the life magic spells will have their economy removed "real soon now" so they won't penalize players. Auz *kmk`* Staffs only got Atlans, that what I say
are the only thing staff has. Will there be a new staff introduced that will
make staffers stop having to buffing there staffs, or one that has some
Damage modifers that makes it useable, let alone low value, worthy of atlan.
Dell This would be a new spin on melee combat, resulting in interesting new combat strategies for different melee fighters. Dell No estimated ETA, but it certainly is on our minds. Auz <GreenEggs> Are there any major undiscovered
secrets in AC? e.g. undiscovered dungeons, crafted items that have never
been made etc. Azeraphel There's always more than even the l33test of the h4><0rz have found. Auz *Gadget|SaH* no offence, this was a great
patch, and i love what you nerfed godmode, but is there any chance you are
going to fix gear( speet hut, speed hack) because due to gear, that 5 second
timer rule means nothing, GET RID OF GEAR.
Azeraphel I wish I had a more concrete answer than "we're working on it"... but... we're working on it. Auz *The_Dark_One* Greetings, I was wondering if AC
will take steps to rework skills at all... I had left for 8 months because
of the constant adjustments... I am back hoping things will change. Will AC
always be a game where one type of character will prevail at high levels
(i.e. Must have life)? Dell Skills in AC are rebalanced using content. Dell Though many players screamed with the introduction of hollow weapons, they allowed people without Life to shine. Dell In the future, you are going to see more twists on monster abilities. No, Life will not be nerfed, but other skills will continue to be enhanced. Auz *smitian* How about you guys put some fun group
stuff in besides long dungeon quests.. I was thinking like make giant caves
that are explorable outside instead of in a portal and have Adult Gromnies
(dragons) inside that take large groups to kill. Make them have large
treasures inside their cave that you have to find maybe by unlocking a
puzzle. You could also make it drop body parts that can be used for
weapons/armor/magic stuff. Azeraphel The semi-epic Aerlinthe/Heiromancer quests are the sort that seem to fit that bill. And adult gromnies are NOT dragons. Auz *Jento* LOVE the spec weapon/skills
quests...Any hints on which skills may be next (I am specialized in bow)?
Azeraphel Beyond that, no hints, sorry. Auz *Tarkus* Any plans to try and move things away
from the shard based economy? Dell So, if the question is "do we plan on adding other very valuable hard to get items in the game" , then the answer is yes. Auz *Yakamura* It seems as time has passed, you
have done away with large creatures in the game. I miss the hoary mattekar
and tremendous monougas. Could you, perhaps, add some large creature to the
game again? It could be something new. I just miss the epic feeling of
taking something down that was 4 stories tall! :-)
Dell The Tremedous Monouga was obviously to large, and was suffering from lack of oxygen, because you could just sit inside of any overhang and kill it. Dell Over time, many of the monsters have shrunk down. This doesn't mean large monsters will go away forever, mind you. Dell We just need to put them in a location where there is no place to hide. Auz *Marauder_Moe* Hi! I have a question about some
of the recent group-oriented quests. Now, I think group quests are great and
it's a great feeling to enter a dark dungeon with a whole war party of your
fellows, but why do all the group quests have solo rewards? If a whole group
of people do a quest each person should get something for coming instead of
just the leader of the group getting the prize.
Dell Due to tech limitations, we can't limit the amount of people in a dungeon, therefore it making a suitable reward is like taking a shot in the dark. Dell As for multiple rewards for completing a quest, it certainly is a possibility. Auz *SupertoddOfHouseJulus*
How about raising the number of people one can add to his friends list? I
maxed mine within about a month, and now whenever I get a vassal, I have to
remove one of my existing friends from my list.
devilmouse Auz *Vlaid* Question: Will the shard dungeons or
anything similar ever be reintroduced? With getting smalls from the casino,
I think it would have been better to just put shards dungeons back in.
Dell Heck, camp landscape... at least you get some virtual sun. Auz <emanation-hg> Will we see any new content
designed mainly for high level warriors (65+) with high meleD, ie bsd w/
silver tuskers? :) Dell Can't give specifics, however. Auz *PapaBear* I am a level 87 Vagabond type
character, specialized in *gasp* throwing daggers. We all know that throwing
daggers have basically been forgotten about, but I feel that if improved,
they could become a valuable form of weaponry. My question is this: do you
plan on ignoring throwing weapons?
Dell They are actually underneath the blanket of melee weapons that need a buff. Dell So don't give up hope yet, my 87th level Vagabond King! Auz *FORT* hello, i would like to know what will
happen to all of the account when ac shuts down... i mean when the world
population drops, will you shut AC DOWN or will you put 2 servers into 1?
Auz *Ghost33* Are there any future plans for the
Aerlinthe Quest? Dell From what I know, there will be another minor tweak in the future, but the details are unknown. Dell Sorry I'm not more inormative. You can try the Q&A board to get in direct contact with him. Auz *Skystreak* Can you tell us if there is any
ongoing work on allegiance communication and if so what type of improvements
will we be seeing? devilmouse Improving vassal relationships! Keeping the monarchy better informed! And being in general chatty. whee. Auz *Corinthian* For the last few months we have
been seeing new monsters, ie The v'rindi Executors, and the new mattekars.
Any new species, or variations of current ones?
Dell There will be more new monsters in the future. Expect a mixture of tougher old creatures, as well as more Virindi Doll type monsters. Auz *Dil* With the average level of characters
rising all the time, will you look toward maybe repopulating older "newbie"
dungeons and make them more useful for higher levels, like Moss Chamber was
done recently? Dell Sometimes plot makes you revisit old locations and make them tougher, however it is not SOP. Dell Expect more Mid to High level content, not rehashing of the same old dungeons. Auz *talisin* {question} although the new mattaker
paws are nice, are there any plans for mor UA type weapon quests?
Dell So to answer your question, yes, there will be more UA Quests. Dell As for when... *shrug* Auz *Kendoryn* For pure melee people, we work our
way up from Lugians to Olthoi then jump to high-level Tuskers. Any plans to
add a new non-magic-using creature that's about level 90 or so?
Dell I mean, that guy is crazy. Auz *YiotiLlama* Are we ever going to see the other
dye colors again? I'm tired of seeing people with ice cream diarrhea amuli
leggings, bright blue isn't my style, and teal just doesn't match any of my
stuff. devilmouse more dye colors (really good ones =) are coming "kinda soon", so get your cooking skills up there devilmouse *does a song and a dance* Auz *Darthakia* will there ever be a new PK server?
I myself don'y play Darktide, but would jump in on any new PK server that
comes around because I'd have a more fair advantage because everyone will be
level 1... Dell I'd love to open another one, but the decision is not really mine to make. Auz *Ac-Wraith* Are you going to make it so people
without item magic can portal recall or lifestone recall within the next 4
months? Dell So the answer is no. Auz *Damien_Sarin* q: Will the SW island where you
held the monarch tests ever be open to the public... maybe as a high level
hunting ground? Interest has recently resurfaced since that Rufus guy
somewhow got himself there and took screenshots... some of the views were
amazing... the bridges across the sky etc...
Dell Opening it to the public is certainly open to debate, however. Dell It would require a great deal of re-tooling. Dell So, the answer is maybe, but can't really give a definite date on it. Auz *penelope* question: a while back there was a
comment made that the devs were going to look into the spellcasting
abilities of mobs, specifically in regard to the life/war inepts that make a
mages suffer a permanent 20% vitae with no corresponding counterparts for
other classes. Has this been addressed any further?
Dell If the debuff hurts, dispel it. That is why the spell is there. And if you don't want to get chorizite, get some dispel gems. Dell As for making spellcasting creatures more interesting, expect some rather pleasing changes in the near future. Auz *Quickmulian* Oo Oo: Umm... very curiously...
What's being done with the Aegis's design now that there isn't any
advocates? Auz *Corinthian* I have noticed on the map, that
there are many islands that have yet to be occupied or explored. Will more
islands like Aerlinthe or the Vesayen Island chain be introduced in the near
future? Dell So, while we would certainly love to do another island, I can't really tell you when it will become reality. Auz *Stormbringer* Is there any way to let high
level alchemist *make* their own magic items?
Dell After all, why make something from scratch when you can just tweak something that already exists? Dell Not in the near future, however. Auz *Tinu* Why do the monsters in AC seem to be
able to switch from melee to magic and cast a level IV or V spell at you and
then go back into Melee before you can go from Wand to Weapon?
Dell Monsters can cast and switch to melee in an extremely expedient manner. They will also run into walls for long amounts of time, for no real reason. Dell I personally like to call them "Special" and leave it at that. Auz *Quickmulian* Will Arwic ever be rebuilt? &
what is happening with Ketnan? Dell If Arwic ever gets rebuilt, rest assured that Ketnan will say he had a role in its revival. Dell As for whether or not he's being truthful, I'll leave that for you to decide. Auz *Cava* Is there any hope for the SoLL for us
role-players who don't want to turn to the Dark Side or should I lose hope
and sell my soul for a SoLH? Dell Kudos to all you role-players out there. Dell I'm certain the sword of Lost Light will eventually be enhanced. Dell There are probably all sorts of multicolored infusions out there, waiting for someone to either discover them or re-discover how to make them. Dell As for when that will happen? Not so sure. Dell It certainly has been passed around here though. Auz <ArySCWE> Two Words: AC Skins. If ya'll like em,
what would convince you to use them (example: color or theme?) You guys are
great, please keep up the awesome work! =)
Orion-Turbine I use the Olthoi Horde skin. :-) devilmouse i use the nekkid patch... SeanHuxter I have never used them, but I must say I do like the screenshots I saw. Dell They are solid. Orion-Turbine Skins aren't for everyone and as you can tell by our split their a personal thing. Auz *Alista* Do you plan on naming any of the Level
VII's after people in the community?
Dell Right now, I can't really confirm or deny our plans with them. Dell As a rule of thumb, however, we try to stick with solid Lore names for them. Either that, or associating them with an existing creature in the game (ie. Tusker Bane). Dell Naming them after specific players would get kind of tricky with multiple servers. Auz *The_AntiMacro* Any input on Dark Flame? It's
driving the mage community batty - what's it do, what's it for - they shout.
Please HELP US!!! =) Azeraphel Trust your data. Auz *Astral_Dominae_TD* Could you actually make
more towns like stonehold/plateau/tufa buy for more than 100% ? No one ever
goes there because there is nothing to see than random spawns or perhaps 1
special npc. Dell Certainly something to be looked at. Auz OK - thank you all. And goodnight :) Azeraphel Thanks for coming, everyone! SeanHuxter Hey, thanks. Was fun. Dell Thanks everyone. Orion-Turbine Thank you ALL! The Asheron's Call

Welcome to the Annals of Dereth, the

you this bulletin every month to give you a wide view on Dereth's evolving
community, events, and features.

OUR SAGA THUS FAR... In the town of Eastham, a lone adventurer, Kullis,
approached the guild examiner. Kullis – his hardened fists his only weapons
– presented a completed puzzle. This, the examiner took and nodded.
Kullis
would enter the guild's annals, an unarmed brawler of unquestionable skill… At the edge of the Direlands, a wandering merchant
continued his journey toward the rumored outpost so recently founded.
Let
others battle – Mordano bartered. Could prove good business, stocking up on
provisions at Danby's Outpost, selling them again to needful individuals
mired deep within the Dires. To make the initial investment, Mordano carried
a fair number of pyreal coins in his pack; yet such was the merchant's
greed, they seemed not to weigh at all… In Cragstone, in the empty second floor of a shop, the
alchemist Tessa crafted vials of acid infusions. With the new tools so
recently made available, she worked with greater speed, greater efficiency,
than she ever had before. The same work which once resulted in but one
infusion now produced fifty. Such were the wonders of her science… And somewhere in the deserts of Middle Osteth, a
humbled warrior skulked and scurried along. Without his blade or even
breastplate any longer, Ecks Lee watched for those that sent him to the
Lifestone. He had arrived without many of his most vital possessions, but at
least with the knowledge of his former body's resting place. Ecks hurried
along – was it this rise or that where he'd met his end? And where lurked
the Grievvers that caused it? For all of Dereth, a new dawn brought with it
most unexpected – though decidedly welcome – changes. Crafts promised far
greater efficiency. The unfortunate, a quicker return to their fallen
bodies. And adventurers, the chance to avail themselves of truly fitting
titles… fitting, at least, for the worthiest among them.

MAJOR EVENTS
THE CHANGING OF THE WAYS Perhaps trade artists were the first to rejoice, as far
more efficient methods came to the skills of fletching and alchemy; wrapped
bundles now allow for the creation of multiple items at once rather than of
one item created multiple times. If the artists of Dereth were pleased, its
treasure hunters proved no less merry. Stack sizes have increased, freeing
more pack space for the ample collection of plunder; and among the treasures
to be gained, pyreals, coin of the realm, have become weightless (the trade
note markets continue to flourish, however, as they at least are not lost
upon death). Further information on the recent changes can be found on the
Crossroads of Dereth event page. Of all the changes taking place, the most personal must
surely be the chance for adventurers to gain a new title. Those with the
requisite skills, the ability to solve puzzles, and the blessing of the
Bestowers' Guild may apply for one of many titles -- from ballisteers, to
apothecaries, even crossbow snipers. Examiners await. The Handbook of the
Bestowers' Guild can be perused at
Maggie the
Jackcat's Fabulous AC Guide,
along with her exhaustive study of May's event. AC FEEDBACK FORM 3 -- COMMUNITY HERALD THE ALLEGIANCE HALL "To listen and give support. I don't mean be a parent or anything. But to listen when (vassals) have a complaint of where to hunt or what to do.... A monarch should know who to contact for the different quests and such that are out there... and know when to get involved directly. Not every quest is open for a monarch, but sometimes knowing who can help them on that quest will be of more help than actually being there. It all boils down to good communication." The complete interview can be found at AC Stratics, along with further information on Diamond's allegiance, Protectors of the Golden Flame.RELATED LINKS PLAYER CHRONICLES The winner of Fanstory.com's story of the month competition is a name already well-traveled across Dereth: Fist de Yuma, and his tale, " The Beginning":"My grandfather had many tales on how we came to this land. Being born here I did not understand at first. The shock of entering the shadow world made me understand a little of what they went through. But I am starting at the end not the beginning…" Fist de Yuma's ongoing column, of trial and success and supreme hatred of the Drudges, is regularly published at the Olthoi's Lair. PORTAL SPACED 4 -- GAME TIPS Dereth: realm of the collector. Whether it's lore or scattered Empyrean relics being sought, countless rewards simply wait to be found. Consider the library of information gathered together at ACPost. Filled with guides, notes, and journals of explorers past -- enough material exists to satiate any true scholar.For those interested in knowledge of a more martial nature, Crossroads of Dereth has recently updated several of its Compendium sections. Those daring to face the creatures of Dereth can now gain fresh insight into their magical defenses; in addition, once such creatures are faced -- and defeated -- Keth al-Sheth stands ready to update the Armor, Equipment, Trophies and Weapons sections of the CoD Compendium. His latest addition: Elysa Strathelar's unique cuirass.SEND THIS NEWSLETTER TO A FRIEND, AND LET THEM KNOW TO: PLAY IT ON THE ZONE!

Subject to the mercurial genius of
craftsmen, mages and wanderlust heroes, few things persist in the lands of
Dereth. While April witnessed the opening of Linvak Tukal and continued
Virindi machinations, this month sees changes to the structure of the very
world itself.
Here
are just some of the additions made in the May 16 game update, “The
Changing of the Ways.” The following list is comprised of detailed
notes straight from the developers themselves. For a summary of things of
most interest, be sure to consult the official event article,
On
Wednesday, May 2, the Turbine team met on
