Yeah I didn't want it to just plow through one ring players who don't yet have a full build and kit.

ang

Certain mobs were hitting too hard because I was testing with a dwarven defender. So I backed off a little on their damage output to accommodate other build types.

Your eagle feather item will check the area you are in to see if it is flagged as above ground and outside in order for the giant eagle to take you to Rivendell. Kind of makes sense even if it is less convenient. But the item is very easy to get. For those who need a teleport from anywhere item, they can go to Tol Falas to forge an ARD. If it doesn't work outside then let me know which area is incorrectly flagged.

I have tested the Beorn II axe exhaustively and settled on some stats that do not make it overshadow Dain's axes yet still offer high performance.

Mace of the Defiler and Blood Moon Kama are new forges. The mace is comparable to Ongrum in performance except it is primarily sonic instead of magical and it has mind effects immunity. The kama has both +2 Str and Wis bonuses, 1d8 pos and neg, keen, +4 enhance and +3 vampiric regeneration.

Dammit...gotta forge a new kama, and I'm not yet done with Grond yet...

Also, where is the Kama forged?

Been stocking up the Carrock one since it is so simple to implement.

If all goes well we'll have a limited armor appearance changer inside the Rhudaur trading post. Initial test works without issues.

The neck and chest parts will be left out but we may have the means to change out shoulder plates, arms, belts, legs and shoes to some extent.

At this point any new selections default to the more limited set from the stock game but at least they are different. We'll see how it goes.

Also underway is another mummy tomb this time way out in the desert somewhere with new vampires to stake as well. We'll reuse the same keys from the first mummy boss instead of making more keys.

I heard from Illuminus on Dec 23'rd, he said he had been very busy with overtime the past months and should have time to start working on updates again after the holidays.

I've not heard from Illuminus since the December reply mentioned above. I just sent him a follow-up email to check on his status and if he still plans on being the Arda dev.
