Title: Updates on content for next update.
Post by: Venalan on May 15, 2016, 09:12:04 pm
Hi all,

Time for a few more details about one aspect of the next update.

For a while we have been periodically asked about making training more interesting/easier/fun... One way to do this we have started adding into PlaneShift are repeatable quests which will award you with 1 skill level for the skill associated with that quest, once you complete it. We already have some quests released on the server that do this, Harnquist is Hungry, for example will award cooking.

After the next update all the following skills will be able to be increased by completing a repeatable quest; A choice of any one of the combat skills (Sword, Axe, Ranged, etc), Alchemy, Cooking, Empathy, Fishing, Herbal, and Mining.

With this system you -could- max all these skills, but it would take you ages. This system is currently designed to work along side the current training system, not to replace it. We are planning to add a quest for pretty much all the skills, but to complete this will take some time. We hope over the next few updates they can all be done.

We look forward to hearing what you all think of these new quests once they get released.

This would make training too easy in my opinion..  leveling 180-200 for example could involve just logging in doing the repeatable quests when they are available.

This would be perfect so we dont need to train hard skills at highests levels, like  heavy armor from 190 to 200. Also where i can see currently avaible quests for this?

For armorless Fenkis (fur is all they need!), rather ask Verrliit. Oh, too late, she left long ago...

I'd be a little disturbed if I were a part of some hair-washing ritual where someone kept whispering "light gray" into my ear.

By the way, do you have also any celebrities who "never colored their hair" (like in Germany, former chancellor Gerhard Schröder, confirmed by our Federal Constitutional Court)?
