https://forums.uooutlands.com/index.php?threads/current-beta-client-patch-notes.4568/

Harvesting

• Players will no longer be able to perform eitherMiningorLumberjackingHarvest actions if they haveTeleportedor used anAdventurer’s Ropein the last60 seconds(similar to our Recall Handling)

Societies

• We have removedResearch Materialsjobs from theAdventurer LodgeSociety
• We have removed the“Tame X Creatures of Type Y”jobs from theAdventurer LodgeSociety

Kill Gold Worth of Creatures With Tamed Creature

• The Adventurer Lodge Society now features a new“Kill Gold Worth of Creatures With Tamed Creature”job type
• Each of these job features arandomized, TameableCreature type that the player musthave under their control(with sufficient Animal Taming and Animal Lore) while they arekilling creatures(of any type)

• Progresson these job types will increase based on the (Gold Value of the Creature Killed * Damage Dealt % by the Player and their Followers * Total Control Slots of Creature Type That Player Has / 5)
• The“Damage Dealt % by the Player and their Followers”the player deals to the target creature can be from“any”source available to the player (including their own Spells / Melee / Traps / Tamed Creature Damage / Provocation / Etc), so long asthe player has Tamed Creatures required for the job under their control while they are killing creatures

Example
A player has a Society Job to kill 116,735 Gold worth of Creatures while using Flame Purgers

The player has 2 Flame Purgers under their control (2 x 2 = 4 Control Slots) and collectively the player and their followers do 80% of the total damage to a creature worth 1000 Gold

The player will make 80% * 1000 * (4 Control Slots / 5) = 640 Gold Progress towards the Society Job

Ships

• EmbarkingorBoardinga Ship will nowcancelany existingTargeting Cursora player has up
• EmbarkingorBoardinga Ship willreseta player’sMelee Swingtimer (i.e. cannot board and instantly attack targets)
• Ships must now bestationaryfor0.1secondsbefore they may attempt toBoardanother ship
• If a player uses anExplosion Potionor casts anExplosion Spellwhileonboard aShip, and then is onboard adifferent ship when it detonates, thedamagefrom the Potion/Spell will bereduced to 25% of normal

Damage to Controlled Creatures

• Players and Tamed/Summoned Followerswillno longer receive PvM Bonusestowards damagingTamed/Summoned FollowersorPlayer Ship Crewmembers(i.e. PvM Bonuses will no longer apply in PvP-like scenarios against controlled or partially controlled creatures)
• Players will still receive theirnatural Damage Bonuses from Skills(such as Camping/Tracking Damage Bonus) towards these controlled creatures, however they willno longerreceive any bonuses fromCodexes/Mastery Chains/Aspects/Aspect Procs/etctowards them
• Tamed/Summoned Followers willno longerreceive anyTrait bonusesagainst Tamed/Summoned Followers or Player Ship Crewmembers
• Backstabswillno longerprovide Damage Bonuses against Tamed/Summoned Followers or Player Ship Crewmembers

Damage Reflection

• For mechanics thatReflectdamage back at their attacker (such as Tailoring Skill, Earth Elemental / Summoned Mummy Ability) there is now amaximum capat how much damage can be reflected on any hit/effect
• Playerscan now Reflect at most a maximum of500 Damageon any hit/effect
• Tamed or Summoned Followerscan now Reflect at most a maximum of(100 * Control Slots) Damageon any hit/effect

Note:This mechanic is intended curb certain scenarios where a large number stacked bonuses may result in wild amounts of damage being reflected, that far exceeding the intended range of damages for the mechanic

Creature DifficultyValues

• A large number of Creatures have had theirDifficultyValue adjustedbased on a number of adjustments (listed below)
• Fixed an issue that was causing ourDifficultyValuecalculation algorithm to not linearly scale up the DifficultyValue of creatures based on theirArmor Ratingcorrectly
• Loweredthe impact thatDefenseandDamage Reductionelements of creatures (such as Wrestling, Armor, Magic Resist, Parry, Poison Resist) has on their DifficultyValue
• Raisedthe impact thatHit Pointshas on the DifficultyValue of creatures
• Loweredthe impact thatWrestlinghas on the DifficultyValue of creatures
• Raisedthe impact thatPoisonhas on the DifficultyValue of creatures to account for the“Beast Sting”ability (explained below)

Debuffs on Creatures

• Creaturesof100 DifficultyValue or higherwill now have diminishing returns onDebuff Effects(such as Pierce, Cripple, Hinder, Hexed etc) placed onto them (similar to the current handling already in place for Debuffs against Boss-type creatures)
• The effectiveness of Debuff Effects on creatures is(100% – (70% * ((DifficultyValue – 100) / 900))of normal
• The effectiveness of Debuff Effectscannot be reduced below 30% of normalon non-Boss Creatures (this cap occurs at 1000 DifficultyValue)

Examples
A player inflicts a Pierce Effect of 25 against a creature that is DifficultyValue 150
The Pierce effect will become (100% – (70% * ((150 – 100) / 900))) = 96% of normal, resulting in 24 Pierce applied to the creature

A player does a Pierce Effect of 25 against a creature that is DifficultyValue 300
The Pierce effect will become (100% – (70% * ((300 – 100) / 900))) = 84.45% of normal, resulting in 21 Pierce applied to the creature

Loot System

• TheLoot Systemon Outlands has undergone a massive overhaul
• We have moved away from a “Loot Tiers” system that was based onpre-set rangesofDifficultyValues(such as 10-20, 20-30, etc) and have now implemented adynamically scalingsystem based on creature DifficultyValue
• Under the old system, a creature at 49.9 DifficultyValue would fall into the 40-50 DifficultyValue Loot Tier range and would have the same Loot as a creature at 40.1 DifficultyValue (despite having a 9.8 DifficultyValue difference)
• Additionally, under the old system the highest non-boss creature Loot Tier was capped at around 250 DifficultyValue, meaning a 500 DifficultyValue creature would be treated Loot-wise the same as a 250 DifficultyValue creature
• In the new loot system, the Loot for all creatures willdynamically scalebased on their DifficultyValue withno upper limit, allowing us to implement very, very high-level non-boss creatures that will reward players appropriately based on their DifficultyValue

Gold Baselines
We have updated theGold Baselinefor a number of systems that determines theaverage amount of Golda player will encounter from them, with amounts as follows:

Dungeon Chests

• Level 1:100 Gold
• Level 2:300 Gold
• Level 3:600 Gold
• Level 4:900 Gold
• Level 5:1200 Gold
• Level 6:1500 Gold
• Level 7:2500 Gold
• Level 8:3500 Gold

Treasure Map Chests

• Level 1:5,000 Gold
• Level 2:7,500 Gold
• Level 3:10,000 Gold
• Level 4:12,500 Gold
• Level 5:15,000 Gold
• Level 6:17,500 Gold
• Level 7:20,000 Gold (will now be possible)
• Level 8:25,000 Gold (Lore Boss Chest)

Ship Holds

• Small Ship:1,000 Gold
• Medium Ship:1,250 Gold
• Large Ship:1,500 Gold
• Carrack:2,000 Gold
• Galleon:2,500 Gold

MIB Salvage Crate

• Small Salvage Crate:4,000 Gold
• Medium Salvage Crate:5,000 Gold
• Large Salvage Crate:6,000 Gold

• Challenging Difficulty:115,000 Gold
• Dangerous Difficulty:130,000 Gold

Boss Creatures

• Lore Boss:25,000 Gold
• Mini Boss:50,000 Gold
• Boss:100,000 Gold
• Shrine Boss:100,000 Gold
• Omni-Boss:200,000 Gold

Special and Rare Loot Item Scalars

• We have removed the“hard-coded amounts”of someSpecialandRareitems (such as Aspect Cores or Treasure Maps) that would always occur on some certain systems such Bosses or Treasure Map Chests
• The chance forSpecialandRareLoot to occur for various loot systems will bebased on the Gold Baselinedetermined, but then further increased by anItem Scalarunique to each specific system

Item Scalars for systems are as follows:

• Normal Creatures:1x Item Scalar (no adjustment)
• Dungeon Chest:2x Item Scalar
• Ship Hold:2x Item Scalar
• MIB Salvage Crate:3x Item Scalar
• Black Goods:3x Item Scalar
• Bosses:5x Item Scalar
• Trade Caravan:5x Item Scalar
• Treasure Map Chest:5x Item Scalar

Example
A player resolves a Level 3 Treasure Map Chest which has a Gold Baseline value of 10,000 Gold

The chances for Special and Rare Items to occur on the Treasure Map Chest will be treated as if the chest was worth (10,000 * 5) = 50,000 Gold
Effectively, a Level 3 Treasure Map Chest should yield the amount of Special and Rare items that killing 50,000 Gold worth of creatures would generate

Individual Item Loot Changes

• Plant Chemicalsshould occurmore oftenas loot

Player Loot Bonuses on Bosses

• Creaturesspawned from Treasure Map Chests willno longer dropTreasure MapsorResearch Materialsas loot

Lore Books, Lore Bosses, and Level 8 Treasure Map Chests

• ThelootforLore Bossesand their relatedTreasure Map Chestswill now becalculated independently(previously items would be generated on the Lore Boss but then randomly divided between the creature and the chest)

Mugging and Pilfering

• Players mayno longerperform Mugging or Pilfering attempts onnon-aggressive creatures(such as Goats/Bulls/etc)
• Players are now capped at amaximum of 1000 Goldreceived on anyMugging/Pilferingsuccess against anon-Boss Creature
• Mugging/Pilfering against Boss Creatures will continue to have a maximum of 2500 gold per Mugging/Pilfering success (same as before)

• TheDetect Hiddenskill will nowreplace the Remove Trap skillfor performingTrap Removal on Chests that have Traps
• Detect Hiddenwill also remain the secondary skill usedGround Trapsthat are created with Tinkering

Note:The removal of the Remove Trap skill is occuring because we have deemed the skill “too narrow” of a focus to warrant maintaining it as a standalone skill (much like how the Bowcrafting skill was too narrow of a focus, and became merged into Carpentry)

The Trap’s adjusted Base Damage is (1200 * 80%) = 960 Base Damage

Each creature hit will immediately take (33% * 960) = 320 Damage
