-Barbarian now has the animal companion feat, as they should.


-Changed Fighter bonus feats and distribution of general feats. - spring attack at level 5


-Fixed Barbarian, Bard, and Fighter feat-sets.


-Reworked some of the quests and added a new model for an npc.

-Races and their favoured classes have been modified
-XP earnings reduced (listed in the discussion forum), rest timer increased to 120 seconds per level
-Added server chat commands to get server time and /or delete character
-When a PC enters with an unfinished class, the server will boot and delete this character at next restart
-When a PC takes an 'illegal' (unfinished) class after level 1, they will de-level to be able to take legal classes
-Companions drop quest items if they land the last blow


-Adjusted Workshop files for Nwsync operation. So, the player no longer needs to subscribe on Steam to be able to play on Town of Luce (files will be automatically downloaded upon joining server).


-Added the fighter class with all bells and whistles
-When a player joins, their class information (from level up screen) now shows in their journal.


-Fixed a server restart bug, where it wouldn't trigger a restart at all. Now it functions properly, however, the restart time is not exactly 4 hours. We will patch this after the next class, rogue has been released.

-Added the option to find out how long a player has until they can rest again by typing " rest_counter " . This will output how many ticks left, each tick is 120 seconds.
-Fixed a few bugs, where the resting timer would not reset after a server reset, also item un-equip script would not trigger

-Finally, rogue has been added to the class selection. Rogue holds its own with improved AC and damage, plus all additional feats. I had a lot of fun testing it, especially at high levels.
-Fixed Kobold King dropping a quest item after the quest has been completed
-Improved scripting for fighter special bonuses for levelling up their weapons so the extra bonus to their weapons gets added properly

-Patched a bug where if player left the server and came back on a different character, the hp of previous toon would be reflected
-Added a few signs around shops to let players know what time they are open (NPCs spawn)
-Fixed where rogue damage bonus would apply to ranged weapons (saving this for ranger)

-Updated the companion script to reflect the remaining companion XP until the next level up (when PC clicks on the companion, this will populate)
-Patched the party XP bonus, where it would give a substantial amount due to a faulty loop

-Party bonus XP has been fixed

-Added a Pawn Shop in town, that's always open for business
-Pawn Shop buys all items, including enchanted and gives back the proper gold value (up to the merchant cap of 1000 GP of course)
-A few enchanted items (such as dart) cannot be sold (bug - will fix)
-Pawn Shop also has Magic Bags, so players can carry loot
-And while on that topic, RANDOM LOOT has been added for almost all creatures. It currently cycles between a set number of items, which will be increased eventually

-Fixed a lot of bugs (listed in bugs discussion)
-Stone of Recall is now cost free, with the limitation of 1/Day use
-Revamped some of the party xp bonuses, so will feel rewarding to play with friends (I hope)
-Optimized server performance
-Only Rangers can take bow related feats (Rapid Reload...etc)

-As promised, changed how boss loots were working (hopefully easier to navigate): now the boss will drop a key that opens the associated chest. Keys cannot be used when enemies are near-by (it will cancel out of inventory screen and return the proper key back to you). Once chest is used (and key disappears), the player will have to wait until boss re-spawn and retrieve a key once again to re-use the chest.

-Northern areas from Luce have been added (mostly just beautiful terrain). We will work on populating these with monsters, npcs, and quests :)

-When PC is disarmed, their dropped item will return back into their inventory
*This doesn't work for PvP yet, though it is illegal anyway (so don't do it :P )
-A few bandits are thrown in the mix as a tester (North of Luce)

-Implemented a boss 'soul focus' system, where after landing a killing blow to a boss, the player gains the ability to focus on bonus skills/abilities the boss soul may bring. This is done by using the Soul Jar on the player (owner). Currently only Kobold King's soul has been added, but more are coming!
-The main reason for this above is to reward the player a bit more after boss battles
-Will be introducing a new method to gain XP/GP via collecting items for a witch, and in return access special items as a player turns in more materials. This will help players be active during 'out of business' hours for NPC that are required for items/questing. We will try to keep you busy at night and provide fun runs for you :)

-Goblin Leader has been added to the 'soul focus' system
-Bosses now drop random loot on death (besides what may be in the chest)

-Lich has been added to the 'soul focus' system
-The conversation that pops up when a player uses the Soul Jar on themselves has been fully revamped (was a lot of work :P )
-All Soul Jar boss souls now can be levelled up and effects increase as it gets stronger; however, it splits the XP between player and their activated boss soul
-To make this work, had to re-write the party bonus XP, hope it still works as intended (hard to test this alone)

As mentioned in 'Server Down Times' thread:
"***PLEASE NOTE that we are attempting to implement the changes coming up, listed on the new NWN development builds, so you may come across some interruptions***

These updates currently include:
-NWSync (due to https change)
-Haks (due to base .2da changes)
-Server Database (due to Sqlite3 change)
*your character saves will not be affected, mainly for server operations"

-A new area in the mountains near Luce is being implemented, which will bring CR 7+ monsters, therefore increasing the player level cap. It is a massive undertaking and taking a lot of time to polish, so please be patient :)

-Fixed the server not booting properly due to a https protocol switch in NWSync (was testing this and accidentally left it on)
-A brief version of the Snowy Mountain Top has been added, which once finished will bring the allowed max player level to 8. Monsters are pretty hard at the moment, I will tweak these asap!

-Snowy Mountain Top has mostly been completed. Due to a lot of coldness happening there, we have something cooking to help a PC survive easier

-Added some treats at the Witch's Dwelling that brings a whole new method of item improvements
-Introduced a credit system with NPCs, so you can build up rapport for incentives
-Will be focusing on populating some new areas up for more of Witch's goodies

-Added elemental immunity and AC bonus enchantments via the new crafting system
-Once the basic effects have been completed, we will open up more areas to collect more credits

-The crafting system now includes skill bonuses
-Worked real hard on getting a nice transition in, north of Luce :) These areas are being opened up, with monsters too.
-We will implement some more of Witch's credit quests here

-Wyverns have been added, north of Luce.

-The witch now collects wyvern skin for a reward

-Migrated over to a new NWSync server for quicker operations
-We are continuously working on implementing changes in NWN development builds
-North of Luce has been tweaked, young wyverns are at full force, hence it is much easier to farm. Also, a few fancy things are added there for extra spice :)

-Focus orb - regenerative spells have been enabled along with a quest to go with it
-We are working on a system to fast/buff and be able to recall preset of spells for focused spells and next will most likely be starting to work on cleric class :)

-Fixed a few bugs related to regenerative spells, where the DC calculations were incorrect
-Also, harmful spells could be cast on player or friendly creatures
-Some spells were ignoring armor spell faliure chances, these are now corrected
-Still working on the dev builds, but taking some time to automate our scripts with the new sqlite3 files, mostly regarding character deletion and other stored PC data
-Next up as mentioned previously is being able to store spell sets on the focus orb (ex. offensive or defensive spell set uses)

-A player can now successfully store and recall spell sets using the focus orb!
-Patched party item acquisition where other members would not receive the quest item, yet the journal would update
-Added an option to summon a NPC during after hours, where either a bell is rung by some chain pulling or playing a gong
-This allows a player to turn in or continue questing (for the most part)
-Fixed some item problems regarding party quest completion for Melisandre
-Updated spells.2da to correctly represent somatic components , in regards to armor spell failure chance

-A pretty major change has been implemented for weapon balancing: we have increased (decreased technically) the threat roll of some weapons - where it went from 19/20 to 18/20 to balance dps calculations. This also encourages dual wielding, especially combined with keen and massive-critical/elemental damage buffs!
-Added an option to 'undelete' a character - where if PC requested a toon to be deleted, now they can opt out BEFORE the next server restart (via 'undelete_my_character') command
-Also included an option to delay server restart by an hour by using the 'delay_restart' command. This is done by total amount of votes/players on the server - majority wins
-Began working on CLERIC finally. It will take some time to arrange all spells/feats etc. but it will be included in the next update :)

-Increased the drop rates of Spider Webs and Wyvern Skins for better adventuring
-Now one may port to a secret portal they have discovered across the land by using the Luce town portal near the coast line
-Fixed the bug where Light Hammer showed wrong weapon stats
-Added dagger to the 19/20 crit family (only one so far)
-Created a few interesting items that can be purchased or dropped by bosses
-Working on the cleric class at the moment, then we will focus on bringing in more populated areas

-Implemented a new library to write spell scripts much quicker (a few lines)
-Reworked all (yes all) previously enabled spells
-Fixed bugs regarding Focus Orb, where meta spells would not save properly
-Added new cool bonuses to bard spells for them to be useful at higher levels

-Tweaked/re-wrote a lot of the regen spell scripts to compensate for recalling options via the Focus Orb
-Fixed a few bugs that came with upgrading to the newer build of Nwn
-Still working on re-enabling character deletion, since now the databases are sqlite3 instead of db files, will have to write some new batches for this
-After that, will continue bringing the cleric class to life!

-The Focus Orb has been edited and tested further
-A fast casting rod has been added, one may use it 3 times per rest (pretty sweet!)

-After countless tries, finally got AOE spell scripts finalized. This allows for a caster to party cast aoe spells, that effect targets individually - via each party member. Sadly, once an AOE spell expires, it removes all other active AOE effects on target (caster or party) due to limitations of NWN. Implementation of this is coming up for the cleric class. https://youtu.be/p_TmSjb0LX0

-Introduced persistent storage and banking options. Please visit the bank in Luce!
-Re-enabled character deletion. Had to rewrite all my batches to compensate for the sqlite3 data format switch. At the moment, only 1 character per server restart can be deleted.
-Deleted characters offer half of their XP to the rest of the characters on the account, in the sense that XP earned during battles will include bonus XP
-Starting to add descriptors around town, so all server features are clear
-Enabled Cleric even though it is being worked on (can level up to 2 max)
-One can type "account_banked_xp" in chat to get a total of banked XP

-When bound items are sold to shops, they will be ready for the new buyer to equip
-Continuously adding more information around areas to provide ease for new players

-Added bandit area, north of Luce. Pretty hard fight and may need an adjustment or two :)

-Implemented a quick switch function for weapon slots
-Reworked scripting for what happens when PC gets disarmed
-Balanced the bandit area a bit more
-Will be working on adding the gnoll area for credits and moving forward in main quest line

-Realized the Witch quest line requires a knife to be used, but a large creature such as an half-orc couldn't equip tiny/small weapons. Now half-orcs will get a longsword instead.
-Still working on fixing quick slots not being stored persistently. It appears to work locally, as a character can set these up after logging in.
-Thrade in the Luce Temple could not be talked to. I had to make a new npc from scratch to fix this, now called Thrada. She is a fiery one :)
-Changed delevelling so the Magic Focus Orb and Rod of Swiftness gets reset once a PC delevels (to block abuse)

-Balanced kits as well, DC calculations and scripts differ
-Added the continuation of the frost giant area, with a pretty epic boss fight
-Fixed respawning bugs, where bonuses or health would not return properly

-Adjusted a party questing bug where NPC gives next item, another party member in area would get the quest as well even if they had completed it
-Increased animal companion duration to 120 seconds / PC level and summoning twice per day
-Working on adding henchmen for solo playing

-Henchmen/Mercenary helper has been added. See 'Muscle For Hire' in town :)

-Companions are raised up to level 10 now

-Castle Morto level 1 and dungeon are up. It was a pretty fun design concept, there are annoying monsters and they should put up a good fight!
-Raised despawn time to discourage abuse of leaving an area and coming back to push through maps

Any of the newer updates are now listed in our Discord channel: https://discord.com/invite/Q2wSj2c
