PATCH Patch Notes for October 7, 2021

[Luthius]

Spirit Speak

Spirit Stones and Charged Spell Bonus

• Empty Spirit Stones, Spirit Summoning Stones, and Spirit Spell Stones will no longer be used for any mechanics: i.e they are now discontinued
• Empty Spirit Stones will no longer be purchasable from Mage NPCs in towns
• Players can now sell their remaining Empty Spirit Stones, Spirit Summoning Stones, or Spell Stones to Mage NPCs in any town
• The Magic Lock and Unlock spells will now be disabled (until we come up with an alternate usage for them)
• Players will now always gain a (10% * (Effective Spirit Speak Skill / 100)) bonus to Charged Spell Chances and will no longer need to use/carry any Spirit Spell Stones

Spirit Speak Skill and Summon Duration

• Players will no longer need to use Spirit Summoning Stones for any summoned creature mechanics
• Creatures created by Summoning Spells (non-Necromancy versions) will now have an initial 10 minute Summon Duration

• When players use the Spirit Speak skill to harvest energy from nearby corpses, it will automatically extend the Summon Duration of all their nearby non-Necromancy summons
• The amount of Summon Duration increase gained per corpse is determined based on the Creature Difficulty (viewable in Animal Lore page) of the dead creature and is further scaled based on how much Damage the player did to the creature (as a percentage of the total of all players)
• Players can achieve a maximum Summon Duration of 30 minutes with Spirit Speak skill corpse harvesting

Each corpse harvested by the player will extend the duration of all of their non-Necromancy as follows:
Duration Increase in Seconds = (10% + (90% * PlayerDamageDealtToCreaturePerecent)) * (50 * (SquareRoot of Creature Difficulty))


Examples
Player dealing 100% of the damage to a 25 Difficulty Creature: (.10 + (.9% * 1.0%)) * (50 * SqRoot of 25) = 250 Seconds Duration Increase
Player dealing 50% of the damage to a 125 Difficulty Creature: (.10 + (.9% * .50%)) * (50 * SqRoot of 125) = 307 Seconds Duration Increase
Player dealing 100% of the damage to a 125 Difficulty Creature: (.10 + (.9% * 1.0%) * (50 * SqRoot of 125) = 559 Seconds Duration Increase

Players can see the Creature Difficulty value for creatures at the top of the Animal Lore menu
