Aardington Estate Area, Wooble Goal, Other Changes

Aardington Estate – New area and Goal:

The Earl of Aardington is an eccentric man, he lives on a huge estate in the middle of the Mesolarian Grasslands. This estate has been in his family for countless generations and as such, there are some old skeletons in the closets.

The manor itself speaks of old money, with antiques almost everywhere you look. The servants and maids do a wonderful job to keep the large mansion, both inside and out, in perfect condition.

There is a dark wood to the north which is haunted by the ghosts of the past and only the bravest dare to venture near. A quiet temple, for the faithful of the Ayla to pray, is surrounded by the most exquisite rose garden, yet hides a forbidden secret in the catacombs below.

The Earl is a very busy man and his staff are a little short handed and they are always looking for good people to help out around the estate. The Earl’s staff have some very interesting ‘jobs’ they need help with.

Game Code changes in this upgrade:

• It is now possible (but relatively rare) to get instinct points from daily blessings.
• I have changed the way bypass works for quests so that the percent check happens just once when you first request a quest, which should help with some of the issues people have been having with even their main targets appearing anyway. The outcome of this should be that with 100% practiced at least the first two items in your bypass list are 100%, unless the MUD really just can’t find a target anywhere else. Have only done this for quests so far, will wait for feedback before touching Campaigns.
• Fixed ‘here’ being misaligned in group output when a group member is on a quest.
• Eqsearch used with specific wear locations was completely misaligned. Now fixed.
