Letters updated! Since it's the last day of the month, this was my last chance to keep the July letters page from being the most pitiful month of them all. You'll find about 3 updates worth of letters, from quest questions and tips, to patch info, to a few complimentary letters I tossed in to indulge myself, and a small sampling of the reaction to Ned Cleversun's sermon on hunting etiquette. Enjoy!

July 29, 2001
In case you haven't heard, servers are down! Visit the CoD news page for updated information.

After reading the letters of countless mages, saying, "don't forget us too!" I've started filling out the Magic section. Currently, the Item Spells have been completed (up through level VI). More coming soon!

July 28, 2001
It's been a busy week for me, so haven't had time to do many updates. I've updated a few more towns on the Vendor Rates page and added some stats and pics to my Food stats page, thanks to Danier and Suggardaddy's amazing Cooking skills!

Thanks also to Dras Bullneck who sent a pic of Vulgarity of Leafcull posing with his Axe of the Quiddity for the Lost in the New Horizon event page!

Congratulations to my vassal on level 69! He's been a power-leveling fool, trying to get to 70 so he can get Creature. I'm just points away from level 46, so I am going to leave the level gap posted as-is for the time being. ;-)

Thanks to Destructor of DT, I have pics and stats of the Balister of the Quiddity (the XBow). You can find it on the Lost in the New Horizon patch page. I also buffed the credits for the patch, but there are still more to come if you don't see your name yet. I got a *lot* of mail while I was out of town. :)

Graydon of TD cashed in his supply of Black Rat tails to fill in another missing item on the Crafters & Collectors page. Looks like the Xarabaydun Bey gives either 250 or 200 pyreal, depending on the condition of the tail you turn in (in other words, it's random)! 

Thanks also to Mithan Kitara & Bane Grievver for stats on the Quiddity Axe, to Bane Thunderstriker for pics & stats of the Black Fire Atlan Mace, and to Prox for another location for the Colban plant.

Major update to the Quest Section. I get about a gajillion emails a week from people telling me that I'm missing this write-up or that write-up, or could I please email them a walk-through of such-and-such quest. Rest assured, I do know which quests I haven't written up yet and they are "on the list." ;-)

I've gone ahead and made place-holder pages for all quests which don't have full write-ups yet with the stats of the quest items. Some have coordinates of pertinent dungeons/landmarks, or extra details that I had readily on hand from some of the patch pages. 

In addition, I've reformatted the Aerlinthe quest pages I wrote with the help of Damien Saren of the Aerlinthe Report and put them up here. New pages include Aerlinthe, Aerlinthe Map, (special thanks to Soulitaire for use of his wonderful map!) Aerfalle's Keep, Sacrificial Dagger, Black Fire Atlan Stone, SoLL Fire Infusions & Ring of the Watchman.

July 20, 2001
More updates to the Lost in the New Horizon event page. Doogen poses in the Shackles of Obedience, Maethor poses with a Dagger of the Quiddity, and several small typos and stat errors corrected. Thanks also to Danier, for stats of the Quiddity Rift! 

July 19, 2001
The Lost in the New Horizon event page was updated with more great stuff from this month's patch. You'll find Dirrich's Journal and Apprentice's Guide to Research. Thanks to Visago of Thistledown for the Fist of the Quiddity, to Mithan Kitara for stats on the Axe of the Quiddity, Cylyria of  Frostfell for the Dagger stats, and to E'zekial of Solclaim for the Spear of the Quiddity. 

Dirty Rat of Harvestgain, Gheres Reficul and flimsikk all added more great info on the Virindi Quiddity crafters.

Thanks also to Graydon of Thistledown for lots of great stats on the new critters, weapons, and dyes. 

Kat Erindel of Morningthaw sent creature stats, and Kinshi sent some great text on what Terese says when you get 6 plants back instead of 1!

You'll aslo see Jawa Trader of Morningthaw posing in a new Fletching Cap and Shaylen and Py Yun of Frostfell posing in dyed crafted dresses.

I'll have to have more time to update the names of all the people who sent info from the new patch, especially all the info on the black dyes, so please forgive me if your name is not yet mentioned. It will be soon!

Dyes and Plant Location pages were also updated.

July 17, 2001
Doogen & Danier explored the recently opened Shallow Rift Dungeon and sent back a report, including a cool map of the dungeon! Find out more, including info on Dirrich, the Warden, on the Lost in the New Horizons event page!

I'm still buried at work from being out of town, but I hope to do a more thorough update of the patch info tonight.

July 16, 2001
I'm back! And I only have this to say: IT WAS A TYPO!!!! ;-) hee hee. I knew I was in trouble when I had four people tell me in person on my first day in Boston for the ACPL this weekend that I had the wrong stats on the Eye of the Quiddity. (Hey, it was 4AM and I was trying to toss something up before heading out of town!) I feared the Inbox on my return. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the error. All 423 of you. (j/k) :)

Thanks to all of you, also, for the great email you sent while I was gone. It's going to take me a day or two to go through it all, but I'll try to update the site again as soon as possible.

I know you're all dying to hear about the Asheron's Call Player Luncheon. Here's the short version: it was fun, Turbine r00lz, I need sleep. ;-) 

I'll be posting a write-up sometime in the near future with more details. For those of you who missed it, don't despair! I have an exciting treat for you!! EXCLUSIVE AC2 CONCEPT ART, direct from the offices of Turbine Entertainment Software!! Whoo-hoo!

Here's hoping all of you who couldn't make it this year can attend next year.

"Yes, violence for fun and profit!" Just a few words of encouragement from Dereth's latest guide, part of AC's July event!

Biggest news ever: purple dye plants! Visit the Dyes page for more info! And if anyone knows the secrets of that rumored Black Robe (I saw a screen, I swear I did), I'd love to know.

New Titles! New Weapons! New Island! New Creatures!! Shreth Poop! All this and more on the Lost in the New Horizon patch page. (spoilers!!!)

Ulgrim the Unpleasant & Town Crier Rumors updated.

Shadow Fragment pic was also updated on the Shadow Armor page.

Purple dye!!!!!!

I think this just might be the best patch ever!

Now it's time for me to pack for the AC Player Luncheon. I'll be out of town through the weekend, but please feel free to continue sending patch info to jackcat@spacestar.net and I'll update the page when I get home!

July 11, 2001
I've put up my June Newsletter for people to read while the servers are down. 

I'll be leaving town Thursday AM for the Player Luncheon in Boston, so any contributions towards a patch page tomorrow night will be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to toss up, but I'll do what I can. For screenies, please use the following email address: jackcat@spacestar.net. Thanks!

Oh!! I almost forgot! I am finally (and have been for several days, actually) Level 45!! Yipee! That ole Lady Aerfalle better watch her bony ass. I am gonna kick it! 

um... some day. *sigh* ;-)

Even bigger news! Ned Cleversun widens the level gap even further. Level 68! I have to change my front page again! :) Death total, as ever, lunges forward. Up 66 to 1196. 

I also did some tweaking to Ned Cleversun's section. We renamed his Essay to a Sermon. In the future, any opinion pieces will fall under the Sermon category while Essays will be reserved for expository writing about the game. Tips will remain tips! 

July 10, 2001
My vassal went through my recent updates with a fine tooth comb and sent me 16ish emails pointing out all my careless typos and speling misteaks! I have corrected them all! :)

Letters section updated! 

I did some tweaking to the Arm, Mind, Heart quest thanks to Henry Kissinger of Thistledown and Korgan al-Penju of Darktide, including updating the Spear of Purity stats.

The Crafters & Collectors page got yet another tweak as I moved a few things around. I hope this helps to clear up any confusion about who takes what.

Beasties updated again with stats for a few of the newer Zefirs from the Vesayen Isles! Thanks very much to Jake the Dog of Harvestgain for the Zefir info. Thanks also to Judicator of  Darktide for the info that Obsidian Shards can also be found on Pristine Dolls.

More Vendor Rates updated. The list is still moving right along, thanks to Arydria of Morningthaw, Brother Lunk, Mary Magdalene, and especially Zalii of Frostfell! Just in time for the update on Wednesday when they're sure to all change again! (just kidding, I made that up!) 

July 8, 2001
Thanks to Arydria of Morningthaw, Brother Lunk and Zalii of Frostfell, the Vendor Rates updating is moving right along. 

Also, a new essay from my vassal! Read Ned's Cleversun's Highly Controversial Views About Hunting Etiquette in the Ned Cleversun's Sermons, Essays & Tips section

Thanks to Jaguar for stats of the Shendolain Crystal and the Shendolain Satellite Fragments. I've added them to the Beasties page.

Updated the Crafters & Collectors page with a few miscellaneous items. Kackerdoom reports that the Dryreach Tumerok Collector does not give xp, and the Eastham Wing Collector likewise doesn't for Gold Wasp Wings. They both still give money. And in case you were wondering (like I was), Stone Collectors give you NOTHING for an Obsidian Golem Heart. *cry* ;-)

July 5, 2001
Quest Section updated with Tibri's Fire Spear, including a few screenshots of the quest. Special thanks to Nayt al-Yad for some initial research, my vassal Ned Cleversun for  letting me borrow Reefer Madness (one of his mules) to do this level 10-20 quest, and to Magellan, for keeping things safe as I recovered my third corpse!

I've also updated a few more towns in the Vendors Rate section and added a missing NPC or two.

July 3, 2001
Letters updated with some truly fabulous information on the Lyceum Training Ground, the Baron's Amulet quest, the Quiddity Orb, info on pumpkins and a word on fashion. In addition to the great letter Doogen wrote on the Lyceum, he also included a map of the Training Grounds. Thanks Doogen!!

July 2, 2001
I made a mention in my latest newsletter, but if you missed the news, CoD is back and better than ever. Yay! I missed that Magma Golem skin. :)

I've added a mish-mash of miscellaneous items that people have sent recently. Thanks to Fractal for  Virindi Observer stats and to Chi Vu Yung for Nomad My-miyah stats. You can see them on the Beasties page (takes a minute to load). 

Xi Lui of Thistledown sent me a pic of the Pulsating Wisp Heart for my Crafters page, which was great because I've heard wisps no longer drop them!

Hikawa Kawai reports that Small Niffis shells are also dropped by Listris Niffis and Matthew the Hawk filled out the missing Spine reward by sacrificing his Island Spine to a collector. He received a Potion of Healing in return. I also added the Obsidian Golem heart Samuel A. sent me quite a while ago!

Last, Sanouske of Damonarchy sent a pic of the Glowing Virindi Cloak for the Singularity Quest. Thanks to everyone for helping to fill in some missing data! 

Yellow Pages updated with the new URL of Splitpea, and June New Stuff archived.

I've also started the process of updating the Vendor Rates page. Starter towns all sell at 135% and buy at 90%. Wilderness Vendors sell at 155% and also buy at 90%. If anyone wants to take on horrible boring monotonous tedious task of surveying a town or two (I make it sound so fun, I know!), send me an email and I'll give you instructions on the kind of data I need.
