Patch 3

-The weapons and armor are set to mimic the armor rating (AR) system.

• All armor solely gives physical resistance.
• Type of armor - platemail is more defensive than leather armor.

• Weapons only do physical damage.

-Resisting spells is the sole method to increase elemental resistances.

• Resistance = (Resisting Spells skill) / 2

-Runics were removed. Different materials generally impart different bonuses.

• BOD system is suspended temporarily while rewards are reworked.

-The first portion of the Druid Questline is in the town center of Yew.

• Speak to Gerald to begin the quest.
• The Arch Druid boss is intended for two experienced players.
• Further legs of the quest are in development.
