Only one small bug with the new armors that is now fixed. They now have the correct stats for their crystals. Everyone who reported it got a staff favour, don't assume someone else told me, just make a ticket!

New competition for each of the new armors. Get your armor to level 5 first and you get a perfect crystal of your choice (with 3 trades) and 15,000 platinum. Prize must be claimed (when you think you've earned it) via message to myself.

Just to clarify that is a prize per armor, so SG1 Armor, Dark Legion Armor and Hellforged Armor. Merry Christmas all!

You'll notice a few new items in the Crystal Exchange (if you're an Avatar), you just can't purchase them yet. The new armors on sale require a level 3+ Titan Guard to construct, amongst other things.

The level of the Titan Guard used will decide the level the new armor starts at, with level 3 resulting in a level 1 armor, level 4 a level 2 and level 5 a level 3. So it kind of gets down levelled, but not entirely. We're also going to make all the Ventrix items and these new armors paintable in the near future. Merry Christmas!

I've been talking to Steven and we're planning a bit of new content for Christmas. I'll probably put it up a few days before Christmas day but set it to not become active until the 25th, then hope it all works properly.

You'll be able to see what it is before it becomes available anyway, more news to follow! Merry Christmas!

I am disappointed. I thought someone would have worked out what the Coal did, or at least made a guess.

The Coal cannot be used, but having it in your inventory grants a +20% chance of drops from Hunting. This chance is applied after the Scavenger ability bonus (+50% per level).

So, if your chance of getting an item is 10 in 100 with Scavenger then your chance with the Coal in your inventory will be 12 in 100. This applies to all NPC combat and does not stack if you have multiple pieces of Coal.

Merry Christmas, it was Steven's idea so don't blame me!
