23 March - New spell ranking system and Double Exp!
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:41 pm

Code:
o Potential fix for a World crash.
o A new spell ranking system has been added to THF. It resembles close to what EQlive uses for spells with multiple ranks. Players will now only be able to have one of each spell, despite the rank, in their spell book/memorized at a time. At the moment, this system is only live for all Tier 8 spells. To compensate for the new spell ranking system in place, a number of Tier 8 spells have had their recast and/or cast time lowered (See below for details and please note, some of the times may continue to be modified over the course of the next few weeks)
Example:
If a player has Redwood Skin Rk. I scribed in their spell book and then obtain the Rk. II scroll and scribe it, the Rk. I spell will be removed from the spell book and replaced with the Rk. II spell. Also, if the player has a Rk. II spell and obtains a Rk. I spell, they will not be able to scribe the Rk. I since it is a lesser version of the Rk. II spell.


Spells:
o Redwood Skin Rk. I-III's recast time lowered from 18 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
o Tempest Storm Hail Rk. II's recast time lowered from 12 seconds to 10 seconds.
o Tempest Storm Hail Rk. III's recast time lowered from 12 seconds to 8 seconds.
o Entwining Thoughts Rk. II cast time lowered from 4 seconds to 3 seconds.
o Entwining Thoughts Rk. III cast time lowered from 4 seconds to 2 seconds.
o Curse of Undeath Rk. II recast time has been lowered from 6 seconds to 5.5 seconds.
o Curse of Undeath Rk. III recast time has been lowered from 6 seconds to 5 seconds.
o Storm Strike Rk. I-III recast time has been modified:
- o Rk. I - 18 seconds
o Rk. II - 15 seconds
o Rk. III - 12 seconds
- o Rk. I - 20 seconds
o Rk. II - 18 seconds
o Rk. III - 15 seconds
- o Rk. I - 20 seconds
o Rk. II - 18 seconds
o Rk. III - 15 seconds
- o Rk. I - 6 seconds
o Rk. II - 5.5 seconds
o Rk. III - 4.8 seconds
