PUBLISH 54 - January 19, 2015
The near Pure Mage or Dexxor is now a viable option.

This is more of a premium addition to the last patch 53 which was added yesterday. Patch 53's main focus was to add back the accelerated 4/8 (Faster Casting / Faster Cast Recovery) casting along with new character being able to start with 75 Imbuing on the SKillCodex.

Publish 54 Changes & Notes



- Swing Speed Max has increased to 1.0 as opposed to 1.25 (1 swing per second with enough dex/swing speed increase, it's pretty quick!). This will make dexxers more viable in a increased casting world.

- Hit Chance Increase (HDC) Cap is now a "hard true" 75%. Use [MyStats for accuracy.

- Defense Chance Increase (DCI) Cap is now a "hard true" 75%. Use [MyStats for accuracy.
*Using Divine Fury temporarly gives a +10 HCI bonus even if it doesn't show up in [MyStats, but they lose 20% DCI for the trade off.

- Glass Fukiya damage increase. These are great weapons that can be used with skill and timing as a kill shot when someone is low health.
*Damage is random though depending on your parrying, armor and other protection. Sometimes you get a prime hit, sometimes you don't (or even miss).
*Glass darts & weapon can be made learning Glassblowing and using a Blowpipe.

- Tweaked the caps in [MyStats command.

- Replaced the old everlasting donation flute with an exceptional version. (it is slightly more expensive then non-exceptional). It is in the Donation House.

- Slightly adjusted spell casting animation delay and Next Spell Delay to team with the overall faster casting.

- Sped up all BASE casting times on magery spells to about 0.3 seconds depending on circle.

- Monsters that drop Oceanic Coins have a chance to drop a bit more of them (at least a chance of 2 more per than usualy) on the following creatures: Kraken, Poseidon's Limbs, Sea Spiders, Southern Dolphins. (kill the ones in the world now for respawn).

- Another attempt at making Ankh Dungeon drop Treasures of Tokuno again when stones are green.
Someone please test it out and confirm it in a reply here please? CONFIRMED! WORKS!
*Ankh Dungeon is in the Ilshenar facet. The Dojo & Mines are in Tokuno. You can get to both by using the public Moongates.

Remember to use the command [Vote everyday and consider donating to the shard.
Godspeed.

- King

Sounds awesome. Can't wait to grab the flute also later tonight.

Spread the world of PandoraUO. Reddit is an awesome way to get our shard out there. It brings back old players that forgot all about UO and would like to play on a free shard for old times sake.

Thank You, Kon. :)

After some tweaking and testing the 4/8 casting is working for everyone now who is capped. :)

Did a few duels and it's actually very cool combined with faster swing. Concentrate and have fun!^^
