Did magical orbs get nerfed?

[psusi]

The first one I made a week or two ago had 8/8 durability and I was surprised that I could use it 8 times to try to alter the skill enchant on some items repeatedly to get the skill I wanted. I've made 3 more today and they have all been 0/0 durability. Was I just lucky the first time or has something changed?

Found an issue with this. Will fix!

Good golly! I just made a purple magtical orb with 180 durability! Green fragments, green pitch glue, and green clay flakes. Is that maybe a bit much now?

Also I still need to get some aptitude on my bronze knife, but pirate ghosts no longer seem to spawn underground on my home island. It's all harpies and some skeletons and zombies now. My desert island used to have skeleton... was it wizards or witches? That drop the wands, but then it got hit with that gletch that made the whole island fire beetles and drakes. Are there any other ways to get enchantments besides those two? Do I need to search for an easier desert island that has skeleton witches?

Technically, that high of durability was possible before, just a bit rarer. I don't think it's a huge problem because its use is still really random, especially if you are using an orb for a certain skill - you might need all 180 of those uses.

Creatures are now based on territories - you might just have to discovery one that spawns ghosts, or you can learn the ways of the runes and modify a territory to your liking.
