Arda v1363

Cirith Ungol gets a reskin and slight redesign, bosses D through F move to the master drop script, and Sauron now summons the Nazgûl and Shadow & Flame much faster.

Areas & DungeonsAreas & Dungeons

  • Cirith Ungol reskin/slight redesign. The layout is mostly the same, but the spawns/layout may make it more challenging. Feedback welcome!
  • Southern Mirkwood maps brightened, and directions added to the Southern Mirkwood map names
  • The Yellow Mountains stronghold is playable again, as it no longer appears to crash the server
  • Fog reduced by the bridge in the Fortress of Gaven (Geshaan)
  • Barrel with a wooden stake added back to the Raj guildhouse, so the dungeon in Suza Sumar can be completed

Monsters & BossesMonsters & AI

  • Bosses starting with "D" through "F" now use the new master drop script
    • This may not cover every boss from A through F yet, but it covers most of them. An easy way to tell if a boss uses the new drop script: it leaves a distinct body loot bag behind on death.
  • Sauron's HP bumped slightly, and his script now spawns the Nazgûl and Shadow & Flame significantly faster. We'll adjust this after players test and give feedback if it's too much.
  • Gondorian guards in Minas Tirith updated to new armor (again)

ItemsItems & Loot

  • To avoid needlessly removing spells from spellbooks, the Ancient Rusting Dagger (ARD) no longer needs to be equipped to use its unique ability. Exchange it at the Altar to Aulë for the new version.
  • Faravindad bow model changed to fix its inventory icon

Miscellaneous & Bug FixesBug FixesMisc

  • Dice rolls changed to more closely mimic a real dice roll
