Higher-tier solo dungeons can be accessed via special Dungeon Maps, which can be obtained from mob drops or bought from other players through the Marketplace. [b]New Character Customization Options [/b] Players now have a larger number of customization options for their characters, including numerous hair, beard, face, and underwear options. Character appearance can now be updated at any time, from anywhere in the world. For more details on character customization, please see this forum post: [url=https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/112754]https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/112754[/url] [b]Mount Skins[/b] Mounts skins can now be used to alter the appearance of a player's active mount. Once unlocked, a mount skin is bound to the account and can be used by all characters. With Percival, numerous rare mounts will be converted to skins, and additional new skins will be unlockable with Gold. For more details, including a list of pre-Percival mounts that will be converted to skins, please see this forum post: [url=https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/112754]https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/112754[/url] [b]New Mobs and Shrines[/b] New mob types have been added to solo and group Randomized Dungeons for all factions. These include new trap- and nest-type opponents, as well as environmental hazards like explosives. Solo Randomized Dungeons introduce small combat shrines, which give a random combat buff to the first player who activates them, offering advantages in both PvE and PvP. [b]New Weapon Skills[/b] Seven new skills have been added to a range of player weapons: [list] [*]Axes: Spinning Blades[/*] [*]Frost Staffs: Ice Shard[/*] [*]Hammers: Inertia Ring[/*] [*]Nature Staffs: Rejuvenating Breeze[/*] [*]Quarterstaffs: Rising Blow[/*] [*]Spears: Impaler[/*] [*]Swords: Parry[/*][/list] For details of these skills, see the Combat Balance Changes section below. [b]Upgradeable Bank Tabs[/b] Additional tabs can now be added to both personal banks (i.e. those found in cities) AND guild / territory vaults, with the following specifications: [list] [*]City Banks: up to 14 additional personal tabs can be purchased for Silver[/*] [*]Guild Banks: up to 14 additional personal tabs AND 14 additional guild tabs can be purchased for Silver[/*] [*]Territory Banks: new private tabs are not available, but 5 guild tabs can be purchased for a total of 14 tabs[/*] [*]Homeplot Banks are now structured like Guild Island Banks (same total weight and slots)[/*] [*]Siege Camps and Guild City Banks do not receive any additional tabs[/*] [*]The first personal bank tab is always the first to open in banks and guild vaults[/*][/list][h1]Improvements[/h1] [b]Audio Improvements[/b] [list] [*]Polished and updated spell effect sounds for Quarterstaffs, Axes, Spears, Daggers, Hammers and Maces based on spell intensity[/*] [*]Master Volume fader added to Audio Settings UI[/*] [*]Added new voiceovers to Artifact Foundry NPC[/*][/list] [b]Other Improvements[/b] [list] [*]Character appearance has been greatly improved for unclothed male and female character models[/*] [*]New language channels have been created for every supported language - players will join the channel that matches their client language[/*] [*]Date formats can now be set via the "Language" UI[/*] [*]Up to five emotes can now be assigned to Hotkeys in the Settings menu[/*] [*]Reworked character location markers and random dungeon markers on worldmap[/*] [*]Players can now choose whether to automatically transfer newly-purchased items directly from the Marketplace to their inventory (in cases where inventory is full, items will be sent to the "Completed" tab as normal)[/*] [*]New terrain and level templates created for Solo Randomized Dungeons have been added to Group Randomized Dungeons as well[/*] [*]Seven new achievements based on Randomized Dungeons and Customization have been added[/*][/list][h1]Changes[/h1] [b]Crystal and City GvG Changes[/b] Crystal Realm GvGs are now available between seasons. These between-season fights do not generate season points, but still offer loot and rewards. The threshold for which money invested in 20v20 city GvGs is returned has been adjusted from [b]149 points to 195 points[/b]. Since points are scored on a subtractive basis, this means that attackers now need to [b]score fewer points[/b] to get their Silver back. Additionally, match length for city GvGs has been [b]increased from 25 minutes to 30 minutes[/b]. City GvGs have been added to the practice GvG "scrims" available. To initiate a practice city fight, one party of 20 must invite another party of 20 using the regular chat commands (see [url=https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/86776][b]here[/b][/url] for more info). The new map name is "city". [b]Mob Changes[/b] Higher-tier mobs now have [b]more armor instead of more health[/b] to compensate for the player's Reaver bonus damage. This means player damage dealt to mobs will be more or less equal across tiers - for example, if you deal 100 damage versus a tier 4 mob you will deal 90 damage versus a tier 8 mob. Previously, if you dealt 100 damage versus Tier 4 you would deal 400 damage versus Tier 8. Along with this change, the damage of poison potions versus mobs has been reduced to one-third of its previous value.
