Publish 62.3.7
- Fixed an issue with pets not logging out correctly with their owners
Imbuing Changes
Imbuing UI Redesign
- The design of the initial imbuing gump has been changed to match the rest of the imbuing UI.
- Two new options have been added to the initial imbuing gump menu:
-- Imbue Last Properties - This option uses the last used property/intensity combination, and allows you to target a new item to imbue with that combination. It will check to make sure the new item is allowed to be imbued with that combination.
-- Unravel Container - This option replaces the functionality of the unravel bag. It allows you to choose any container in your backpack, and will unravel any items contained inside. This is a recursive operation, so it will unravel items contained inside of sub-containers located inside of the targeted container. If there are any special material items inside, you will be asked if you wish to proceed.
- The design of the property selection gump has been changes to better organize the available properties for the targeted item.
- On the left side of the gump is a list of categories for the available properties for the targeted item.
- On the right side of the gump is a list of properties in the currently selected category.
- The design of the imbuing confirmation gump has been redesigned for clarity and ease of use.
- The gump layout has changed to better organize the information on the current imbuing attempt.
- New buttons have been added that allow the intensity to be changed in steps of plus or minus 10 intensity per button press.
Changes to Imbuing Skill Gain
- Imbuing focus value changed from 50 to 60. This means that you can gain skill from a wider range of difficulties.
- The overall chance for skill gains has been increased.
- There are now bonuses to skill gain chance when performing an imbue that requires relic fragments or rare item ingredients (monster drops, etc.). The bonus is per ingredient used, so more difficult imbuing attempts that use more ingredients will increase the chance for skill gain.
- The number of times a single item can be imbued before it has diminished skill gain has been increased from 10 to 20.
- The unraveling skill gain cap has been removed.
- The difficulty value passed into the skill gain system is now roughly equal to the total intensity of the item * 2.
- Unravel focus value changed from 50 to 70. This means that you can gain skill from a wider range of difficulties.
- As with imbuing an item, there is now a bonus chance to gain skill based on the number of ingredients returned during the unravel attempt. The quality, and to a lesser extent the quantity, of the ingredients returned give a bonus to the chance to gain skill.
Unraveling Changes
- The 50 intensity requirement to get multiple ingredients has been removed.
- The type and quantity of ingredients returned from a successful unravel attempt has been modified so that in general, it returns more materials on average per unravel attempt.
- Except for items with a total intensity of 1 to 49 intensity, which always give exactly 1 magical residue, there is now a chance to receive a bonus ingredient.
- Unraveling single items and unraveling multiple items via the Unravel Container feature now use the same process, which eliminates any difference in results between the two methods.
- Unravel bags will no longer be sold, and existing unravel bags will lose their current functionality, as it has been incorporated into the initial imbuing menu.
- The bonuses to unravel intensity from special materials have been adjusted so that they more accurately reflect the rarity of the special material.
- The bonuses to unravel intensity are now applied as a percentage of the base unravel intensity value, instead of adding a flat amount to the value. This lessens the impact of special materials on lower intensity items significantly.
Special Material Item Changes
- Items made from or enhanced with special materials can now be imbued.
- This only applies to new items created after this change.
- Artifacts can now be imbued.
These follow the same rules and restrictions as other items. This means most are unable to be imbued, as they already exceed the property and intensity limits of the imbuing system, but many of them can be improved through the imbuing system.
Items that are part of armor sets are not allowed to be imbued, as the set bonuses combined with the normal imbuing restrictions would allow for the creation of ultra-powerful items.
The bonus to durability is not considered in the total intensity of an item. Since some special materials add durability as an item property, we did not want those special materials to be less attractive in combination with the imbuing system.
General Changes
- If the damage convert property is rolled when crafting an item with a runic tool, it will no longer count towards the total number of properties rolled. For example, if you use a bronze runic hammer to craft a weapon, you have the possibility to get a weapon with 3 properties plus the damage convert properties

Wow.....just wow...
We've needed this for years...
-
- Artifacts can now be imbued.
que?
-
Thats what it looks like, unless it has 500 intensity on it looks like you can imbue them.
-
I am sure they bugged something lets all get to looking around at the system they just installed and see if we can break it !!
-
So how do you figure out the points?
Say something that only has 2 things on it... Bracelet of Health
HPI 5
HPR 10
So whats that total points? Can you add in HCI, DCI and Damage?
-
I cant honestly answer that one. Since the ring has HPR 10 already it could almost be considered as having 500 intensity already since the most you can imbue on a item is +2 HPR, and that is considered 100%.

450 is max unless the item is exceptionally crafted.

Call me stupid but what does damage convert property mean in dumb ass terms.
-
It means when you use a runic to make a weapon, if your weapon doesn't have 100% physical damage on it, then that means you got a damage convert as 1 of your mods.
Like:
Physical 40%
Fire 20%
Cold 40%
Your wep looks like that, and it counted as a mod.

OMG Pixie Swatter with HSL and SSI!!!!!! Fey slayers DO exist!
-
Changing the slayer properties on current arties???? Upping the cap of resists and current item intensities!
-
For you swordsman out there, whammys and such, pick up some soul seekers! You will be able to replace REPOND with any other slayer!

This will take some testing, but based on what I remember from the Beta I'm almost sure they f*ed this up and HP 10 will only be counted as 100%. This has the potential to be huge.

Unless the fire damage isn't counted and you can drop the energy and fire resist... Then you MIGHT be able to put a near 100 percent item on it...
-
Poison Area 50% = 100%
so
Poison Area 75% would = at least 150%

Problem is, we don't even get to see the item property values. :(
Before you see them you have to select the property to imbue. Then it tells you "You cannot imbue this item with any more properties." So, we don't get to see the property weight calculation for artifact this way.
You also can't seem to change an existing property e.g. physical resist, if the number of properties exceeds 5, which is for most artifacts.
Also, imbuing luck on a 40 luck spined leather piece overrides the luck value. It doesn't add up. So, no changes here.
