The new EPIC Cuirass of the Grove recipe does not show Stam gain, max stam or XP gained. Will those stats be on the actual Armor?
Missed that! Thanks for the heads up. I have added that.

Hi all,
Santork Claws and his Flamedeer have returned!
Santork Claws (Legendary)
Tis the season to be jolly! However the razor handed maniac known as Santork Claws does not agree. He has built an army of Steam powered reindeer capable of great fiery destruction and with them he intends on ruining this happy season for all!
Flamedeer (Legendary)
The maniac Santork Claws has created a mechanical Steam Powered Reindeer army. These constructs are heavily armored and are armed with powerful flame throwers with which to burn all they come across. They are joined by...
The Great Pudding (Legendary)
Unlike the usual Legendary creatures, Santork and the Flamedeer come in five power levels :
Level : 50
Lesser Santork Claws (Legendary)
Lesser Flamedeer (Legendary)
Level : 150
Santork Claws (Legendary)
Flamedeer (Legendary)
Level : 250
Greater Santork Claws (Legendary)
Greater Flamedeer (Legendary)
Level : 500
Superior Santork Claws (Legendary)
Superior Flamedeer (Legendary)
Level : 750
Supreme Santork Claws (Legendary)
Supreme Flamedeer (Legendary)
Level : 1000
Sovereign Santork Claws (Legendary)
Sovereign Flamedeer (Legendary)
They drop various types of Crackers that are extracted into Baubles, with are then used to create items. The recipes for these items can be bought from Santork's Grotto in the Realm of Santork Claws, the stairway to which can be found in the Forest of Yule (Clearing).
Please be aware, the "Convert" recipes (i.e. Convert Lesser Santork Hat) to change original items to Upgraded items are only to be used if you still have original Santork set items. If you don't have those and need to start from Upgraded items, use the "Upgraded" recipes (i.e. Upgraded Lesser Santork Hat) as those only require Baubles from the Cracker drops!
New recipes are available from Yuletide Puddings!, found in the Realm of Santork Claws, which is now open! Items used in these recipes have been stripped from the Auction House.
These LEs will be active in the Realms until 15:00 hours on the 23rd of December 2023.
Enjoy!

Posted by BigGrim on 27 June 2024 - 19:49 in General Discussion
Hi there everyone.
The Elemental Wraiths have arisen from the Light only knows where. All that is known is that these creatures are roaming the Realms, raining destruction on all who oppose them.
The Warriors of the Realms must gather together to rid the Communities of these horrifying creatures!
Elemental Wraith (Level 25)
The latest Global Event in Fallen Sword is now underway! In the Event, the Community must work together to destroy the Elemental Wraiths plaguing the realms.
Each player must earn a personal target for increasingly bountiful Frag Stashes (mouse over the event info on the World page for more details) while also helping the Community to attain the best total kills possible, unlocking the rewards for all.
The Global Event shall be live until 15:00 (Server Time) on the 3rd of July 2024.
For each tier that the community completes the reward will be as follows:
Bronze:1 x Global Bronze Frag Stash II
Silver:1 x Global Silver Frag Stash II
Gold:2 x Global Gold Frag Stash II
Crystal:2 x Global Crystal Frag Stash II
Ruby: 3 x Global Ruby Frag Stash II
If you qualified, the reward(s) will be delivered to your mailbox shortly after the event ends. Note that you get the reward for the tier that you have qualified for, for example if the community unlocks Gold, but you qualify for Silver, you will receive 1 x Global Silver Frag Stash. You don't receive the rewards from lower tiers, only the tier you have qualified for.
Also if you are placed within the top 100 event contributors you will receive an additional Global Ruby Frag Stash II chest.
There is a helpful forum post RIGHT HERE full of information on Global hunting grounds and so on compiled from the Community.
Good luck everyone!

I agree and typically encourage varying ways of play. I only said what I did above because of the compounding bonuses.
I'm not saying it can't be a buff available, obviously - I'm just unsure how high a level Trendy would need to be to overcome losing all the other bonuses.
But that's the thing Duder. Does it NEED to? Couldn't this simply facilitate a totally different way to play? I believe that was the original thinking behind the buff, along with giving a playstyle that uses Commons.

Posted by BigGrim on 25 October 2023 - 15:29 in General Discussion
Hi there everyone.
We're considering taking some time to create new content for the Realm Chests. The question is, what would we like to see?
Specific types of Gear? Sets? Sets spread across multiple chests?
Not sure potions work. There'd be demands for them to be more powerful, which is impractical. They really do not need to be more powerful.
Random "Quest Items", specifically for use in future invention recipes? Possibly future Hunted Cow Titan Epics? Could be used for invention of new gear across the game. Arena, PvP, GvG etc.
Frag Stashes in cheaper Chests with large quantities of specific Frags? Like, LARGE quantities.
Your thoughts and suggestions on this matter are most welcome!

Hey there.
Right, first swing at new Crate content, I reckon I'll spread the various frag stashes across all existing crates. I think maybe one new potion per existing one. Potions, I'm tempted to put into two new chests? Opinions?
Potions I reckon we'll add:
#1010936 Realm Chest Update Ideas.
Posted by BigGrim on 17 July 2024 - 14:14 in General Discussion
And you speak for the entire Community?Players aren't playing that way anymore. They want to minimize effort to accomplish the same goal.
Bloody hell. I stand corrected!Not an exaggeration at all - see attached:image.png
Hmm. Could look into that, sure. Again, it does mean that potion (potions?) would be bumped from this release until the Loyalty Stash coding.Uniques already see some form of use depending on what stats are needed on filler items - rares are overlooked. You could likely get away with doing both, however, if you made rares 0.02% per point and Uniques 0.01% or something along those lines.

Hey there.
There's requests for Frag Stashes in this very thread, so there is interest. I mentioned potions in my post above, so yeah.
Loyalty Stashes I've asked for. We'll see if it can be coded. If so, I'm happy to introduce a Loyalty Stash that functions like the Mystic (Shard) Stash.

Posted by BigGrim on 15 July 2024 - 16:29 in General Discussion
All the potion ideas are driven toward PvE only. How about some PvP potion content as well?
Such as? Any particular requests?
This is the opportunity to add new potions of Immobilise Titan, Trendy.
Good call. I'll have to test em. Make sure the coding was actually completed.
Light Foot 1500. 60m. Yes, but maybe last longer, similar to global, or 120/180 so it's now as powerful. Most players that hunt chests/SE are on/off throughout the day, so be good to get real value.
Hmm. Don't really wanna step on the toes of the Global Potion.
Titan Doubler 300. 60m. I still think Teleport 200 would be more beneficial, or Titan Immobiliser.
Not a fan of too high a teleport myself. Immobiliser however...
Also think a higher Distil would be good, somewhere between 200-300, and/or a higher level Stalker.
Not sure we really want a higher Distil in the game. Will have a look. Will look into Stalker.
Added to existing Crates? Or brand new ones? Maybe a bit of both, depends on how much you plan on adding to the game?
I want to add a lot of new stuff, whether Frag Stashes, potions or Quest items. May do a mix of the two options.
Quest Items. Used for inventing upgraded Epics? If so, likely one of due to rarity/scarcity? One per new Epic?
Probably one of the new item, at least one of the Epic and misc other odds and sods.
Will post more thoughts later. Gonna test Titan Immobiliser and Trendy. Make sure they work and will report back.
*Edit* Yup, those work correctly! Will have a think about levels. Any suggestions? Trendy probably needs to be pretty high, right?
Loyalty Stashes seem like a definite go, though they'll arrive a bit later. I'm pushing for sooner.

OK1100 drops from Murkwood Guardian SE
Thank you!
Regarding TD300
No one will use a rare potion to clear regular titans, they will use it to secure titan and it will be left uncleared for days
If so, why was it suggested then?
Regarding CA300
why would we need it anyway? it's already easy to kill any SE without it
and whoever uses this buff for leveling plays inefficiently as they lose more stamina than they gain XP
Same thing, why was it suggested? Remember, not everyone plays the same way.
I'd suggest Reckoning 400 potion
Maybe 300? 400 is double the highest version at the moment. Plus that one is an inventable.
also some pvp oriented buffs
Shield strike 400 & Savagery 300
In individual potions or a combined potion? I don't have a problem with either buff.

Posted by BigGrim on 17 July 2024 - 11:43 in General Discussion
The question what kind of chest and keys are required to open those?
What do you feel is reasonable? I was thinking no higher than gold?
]As far as new chests go, that's fine, I guess. The opportunity to rotate loot into the chests is also an idea as well if you decide to stick them in the old chests, however.
I understand the idea behind trendy, but the use of something like that is in FS's past at this point. As mentioned above, I can likely find a "break-even" point where it could find potential use, but that number would be ridiculously high to compete with the readily available buffs we already have.
Not sure if I wanna rotate the gear in chests as I keep putting it in invented stuff.
Trendy is a player idea buff and one we have been asked for in this very thread. Remember, not everyone plays like you do.
AS - the entire point is to have one available for free trade; that's good for the game's otherwise stagnantly dead economy. 600 won't do it, but 1k will. With the only other option being from Loyalty Tokens, those that DO want to use it will likely pay a reasonable amount for it as well.Arterial Strike 600/1000: Already have a loyalty pot Arterial Strike 1000. It is also very niche and most people don't use it.
Trendy ???: No one will use this. Would have to be a stupidly high level to even try and get comparable stats to sets being paired with coordinated buffs and smashing hammer.
That being said I do have some possible potion recommendations if you are looking to replace some of these with something.
Sacrifice 550: Kind of the same as Sidd's potion allowing a higher level sacrifice be available outside of global chests.
Brewing Master 400: Will be a more expensive and rarer alternative of Brewers Art from arena to be used with those high epic pots.
Pride 300: Same as brewing master but for composed pots.
Sacrifice already caps gold loss to 100% at level 500 - that's 575 post-distil which means 633 post-distil on 550? For what purpose? To have EVEN MORE XP gain when it's already super easy to level up?
BrewM would kill the only reasonable potion from the Arena. That does no good.
BG's on record as saying Pride is and will remain composing only.
Pretty much this, sorry.

Well, I'd say it SHOULD in order to have value and not be a potion that's DoA. I'd like these things to help the game economy some.
As would I. Bear in mind, people leveled and played the game just fine without some of these buffs for a great many years.
I do think you need to drop the whole DOA thing though. It might be to you, but not everyone.
When it was initially proposed ~12 Years ago, it was likely a pretty solid idea to inject something into the game. Now, commons, outside minor arena use for those with HP, are frag items.
What on earth makes you think the buff idea is 12 years old? Exaggeration, thy name is "Toreth"!
If I might offer a suggestion? What if Trendy were changed to "Rare" instead of "Common?" They don't have the same level of crafting bonuses, so less bonuses I mentioned before, too - changing to "Rare," though might would get some to farm some champs for their items some as they could have new-found viability across all level ranges. It's an instant boost to nearly every aspect of the game, and it allows the potion to remain a more modest level while seeing use.
I suppose we could change it to Rare or Unique but that pushes its release back to whenever I can get some code time. Probably when I get the Loyalty Stashes implemented.

Hey everyone.
Been through this again. This is still something I wanna look at. Any further ideas? Bear in mind, any ideas that require extensive code is unlikely to be entertained.

You're welcome!Hey Grim,
Chiming in to say, thank you for giving us new stuff.
Blimey, sometimes I forget how long we've been at this!People did play the game just fine with Commons before. Those were the times without CoA/CoD, your Epic Forges/Crafts, and your Smashing Hammers and your other high level buffs. That was well over a decade ago. I still remember how big of a change it was when SH175 became a thing - the way we leveled and the gear completely changed, and has remembered somewhat the same since.
We live in times where the game is much further advanced, the way we play has evolved to a much finer degree, and resources are much more vast and readily available. Resources meaning Legendary/Crystal/Epic gear, and the variety of buffs + the (high) degree and ease of access.
Love you too.Love you Grimmy ~ SS
I think so, yeah. If it results in a better buff, then yeah. I'll see if we can get the change made and push live at the same time as the Loyalty Stash update (which will be the only time we announce the Loyalty Stashes going live, in the same manner as the Mythic Stash events.I think pushing the idea to the Loyalty update is fine if you're okay moving the idea to rares/uniques. It will be much better received and be sought after more that way.

Hey there.
So, thus far I'm gonna defo add new potions and Frag Stashes to Crates (Realm Chests). Thinking both mixed Frags and specific Frag crates.
Gonna think on Quest Items that I'll add which will be used in new and future sets.
