Reanimation/Concoctions Overlap
Written by: Tydeus, the Parity
Date: Monday, January 15th, 2007
Addressed to: Everyone
With the below changes, Reanimation has passed all the benchmarks agreed
upon by Varian, myself and those present at the Reanimation Meeting last
Monday, plus a bunch more that were made apparent to me after heavy
usage of some slightly suspicious herbal products.
For this reason, we have decided to end the Reanimation/Concoctions
overlap, meaning that Reanimation will be the only method of curing for
the Undead, in just over a week. The approximate time of the changeover
is around 8pm GMT on Monday the 22nd of January. We hope that once this
occurs any final major problems with the system will become apparent due
to its continuous use, and can be fixed quickly.
- The Orbis poultice balance is now significantly faster.
- There will no longer be random pieces of text inserted into the
desiccation message.
- Hypochondria is now cured by Depressant in Oblivion.
- Blood Effusion is now cured by Refrigerative in Power.
- Poultices, healing serums (curing serums already were) and irid moss
will now properly be affected by a time sphere.
- The serums on needles dipped while in a Retardation vibe will now
evaporate somewhat slower than normal.
- It is now possible to ferment more than one vial's worth of serum at
once by adding more ingredients to the cauldron before fermenting
(though still only one serum type at once).
- Harvest rock and rockcrush's balance times have both been somewhat
reduced.
- The anointments required for the Osi poultice have been changed to two
green.
- The anointments required for the Jecis poultice have been changed to
blue and gold.
- The anointments required for the Pueri poultice have been changed to
red and blue.
- The maximum amount that can be cached of each ink type has been
increased to 1000.
- The swamp south of Ashtan seems to have shifted slightly for unknown
geological reasons, the practical effect of which is that Haag's cottage
is now somewhat southeast of its original position, one room to the west
off the highway.
- Haag's crystali poultice price has been increased to 700gp.
- Haag no longer sells the Oculi or Fumeae poultices.
- Haag now sells the Refrigerative serum for 600gp.
- Nightstalkers, due to their bodies being partially transformed by the
vampire blood, are now able to use Reanimation.
- I'm going to start discussing with the Teradrim leadership about
adjustments to the undeath requirement for non-novices, and possible
compromises for it.
- The Orbis and Jecis poultices can now be used without specifying any
limbs at all.
- Reanimation users with the quick waking defence will no longer have a
message referencing kola when checking DEF.
- Spiked devils and Xorali will now have sulphurite glands (this may
take a few hours to come into effect).
- The Fumeae poultice will no longer show the Aeon cure message when you
didn't have the curse in the first place if pressed against the torso.
- The Osi poultice is now included in HELP HEALINGLIST.
