Hello Paxians,
[p]We know many of you want more information about Verse 5 and the upcoming Feudal features, so we'd like to share more details and outline what's coming up.[/p][p]As we’ve discussed before, we have plans for expanding Pax Dei’s PvP gameplay in new directions. The underlying goal for the game hasn’t changed - we’re making a social sandbox MMO with a player-driven economy, and we’ve always seen PvP as an integral part of the game. Our previous update reworked Lyonesse, making it larger in terms of size and design. We also added the Enchantment resource to give players more reasons to go there. Now it's time to add the ability for players to claim land and build.[/p][p]Before jumping into the details, here’s a summary of what’s coming:[/p]- [p]We’re introducing a new resource: Mournwood, which you can harvest from new Mournel trees that only appear in Lyonesse.[/p][/*]
- [p]Mournel trees are very rare and will only appear in the world in the evening during regional peak game hours. You will see the spot where a tree is about to appear in the game map of Lyonesse a set amount of time before it spawns.[/p][/*]
- [p]Mournel trees are very tough and have a ton of health, fully harvesting one will likely take the sustained effort of many players. However, Mournwood is given in stages, a single player can harvest it, even if fully chopping down the tree would take much longer.[/p][/*]
- [p]Lyonesse will gain 12 new Feudal Shrines that can be claimed by a Clan Elders and the Alderman. Claiming a Feudal Shrine site costs both Gold and Mournwood. The sites have a Mournwood upkeep cost, with storage for up to a week’s worth of upkeep.[/p][/*]
- [p]Claiming a Feudal Shrine allows you to place three plots at the site, which can be upgraded to host up to 22 plots.[/p][/*]
- [p]You can set a Feudal Shrine your clan has claimed as your Petra Mea Home point, and you can use a spell that costs 20 Grace to fast travel to it. If you die near a Feudal Shrine your clan has claimed, you can choose to respawn there.[/p][/*]
Mournwood
[p]A new type of tree, Mournels, will start spawning in Lyonesse after the update. Spawn locations are revealed ahead of time on the map, but a Mournel tree will only actually spawn if players are in the area. A notification will be broadcast in Lyonesse to all players in the zone when a tree appears. This means if you want to harvest Mournwood, you should make traveling to and securing the spawn point a priority.[/p][p]Mournel trees will appear at regular intervals between specific times, depending on the day:[/p]- [p]Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - 6 PM-10 PM[/p][/*]
- [p]Tuesday, Saturday - 5 PM-10 PM[/p][/*]
- [p]NA shards are set to MT (UTC-7)[/p][/*]
- [p]EU shards (including Arcadia) are set to CET (UTC+1)[/p][/*]
- [p]SEA shards are set to SGT (UTC+8)[/p][/*]
