While the patch itself went live last night, here are the Friday patch-notes. The patch is live, bringing the new changes discussed last week and one new change. Further changes will arrive in time, but have not been included in the recent patch.
- Four new spells.
With the new runic magic system, we have added four new spells and renamed one of the two existing spells.
- Firebolt – The same spell Ifrit have been slinging at players for a little while, this is a single-target fire spell which hits harder than a fireball.
- Frostbolt – The icy equivalent to the firebolt, this is designed to be a little more effective against fire-based monsters.
- Frostball – Like a very cold fireball, this is an area-effect spell designed to freeze large numbers of opponents.
- Flame weapon / Frost weapon – these two spells take the place of the old ‘magic weapon’ spell, imbuing a weapon with elemental magic. Right now, they both add the spell-effect from the old spell, but will gain different magical effects later.
- Spellbook updates
The spellbook now has more information when choosing your initial runes, in hopes of better explaining the runic magic system. Only time will tell if they make enough sense.
