WWW.VARLYNDRIA.COM
I've been keeping it in moderation for sure. I haven't posted anything on here since the 15th. I feel however that EQemu community should know about these things once in a while. Not everybody on here knows about Varlyndria or what updates it has if they never visit the main site.
LIVE UPDATE - 11/28/12
QUICK CHANGES AND FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
• Players now gain extreme faction gains with the Varlyndrian Guards when entering the main lobby. They also gain faction when hailing Barison Garthak.
This is to help make sure no player is KOS to guards forever if accidentally killing them.
• Added some new guards in the lobby. New players shouldn't have any problems getting attacked now.
• Varlyndrian Guards now hit much harder and can protect players easier by killing faster.
• Voldrothus Soldiers only spawn every 60 seconds now instead of 30.
BAZAAR DAYJOB CHANGES___________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____
Players can now camp the bazaar at any level now since there are now level brackets for rewards. Enjoy all. LDON points will be receiving even more useful
items to buy soon but right now you can get all of your single powerful Type 7 augments which greatly enhance your VSES ranks. This merchant is in the guild
lobby.
• LEVEL 1-9 -> 625 Plat every 5 minutes and zero ldon points.
• LEVEL 10-19 -> 1250 Plat and 1 point to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 20-29 -> 2500 Plat and 1 point to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 30-39 -> 5000 Plat and 2 points to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 40-49 -> 10000 Plat and 2 points to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 50-59 -> 20000 Plat and 3 points to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.

CHANGES AND FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
• Players may now straight-out sell Alien Tokens for 35k to vendors. (Forgot to be added to notes earlier)
• Carnalist, Avenger, Stormblade, Soulrager, Warchanter, Poisoner and Mind Flayer's main charm buffs now stacks with Moozilla's Bloody Warpaint.
• Soulreaper's death raven was causing a lot of imbalace issues and has been removed. We will be evaluating the soulreaper's dps after the changes
so they might get buffed if this is too much of a blow to them. However, they will probably still be stronger than most classes currently. The embrace of
darkness pet effect should now properly stack with VSES. Soulreapers could be getting a "Death Raven" permanent pet later on during the main path
balance changes. This pet will look like a blood raven.
• Conjurer's Summoner's Boon now stacks with VSES
• Improved Combat Training Buff given to many paths now grants a 50% hit chance with all melee weapons.
• Fixed Tool-Tip for Battle Priest's Blessing of Battle.
• Elite Dragon: Scared to Death now reduces its victim's armor class by 7500, Evasion by 25% and All Resists by 500.
• All Dragon's Breath no longer cancels magic. (Still working on making VSES completely un-dispellable)
• VSES Charisma Enhancement had the wrong limit_effect values and were only mitigating and evading against 1 hand blunt weapons. Pets should now
properly be avoiding/mitigating based on rank against all melee damage attacks.
• Mystical Artist's Song of Love has been greatly reduced in power since it was healing for ridiculous amounts. It now heals for 26 +3 a level base instead of
2630 +27 a level base.
• Dosequis' stun can no longer be resisted.

VSES______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
• The VSES buffs Strength Enhancement, Dexterity Enhancement, Intelligence Enhancement, Wisdom Enhancement and Charisma Enhancement
can no longer be removed by ENEMY dispells.
UPDATE - 11/23/12
PETS______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
• All path pets and special pets have gained an innate 1000 base armor class and are now level 50 to help with their survivability.
• All path pets and special pets now have 255 base stats instead of 5 base stats.
UPDATE 3 - 11/22/12

PETS______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
• Charisma Enhancement from VSES now gives pets 25% damage a level instead of 10%. This change was made because pets were over-nerfed.
All pet paths should be much happier now as this will make the pet a lot better but no where near as overpowered as they used to be.
BLACK FRIDAY DEALS
• Players may now donate for Gobbler alone for $20.00. The money donated does not count towards the Tier system like the other $40.00 Package.

GAME FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________
• Players will now be slain when changing their path. This is to give penalty for changing which there was none before. It also guarantees that players will lose
their pets, buffs and anything else related to their older path. (Players do not lose experience on this death)
• Strength Enhancement 5 now properly shows up with the VSES.
• The Varlyndrian Power Source tooltip now properly displays that players need STR, DEX, INT, WIS AND CHA for VSES. STA/AGI do not apply.
• Players can now summon Gobbler the Destroyer if they donated for his Egg. (Black Friday / Thanksgiving Donation Package)
• Pets now only get 5 points to their str, dex, int, wis, sta, agi and cha per rank of CHA instead of 50 with VSES. (This was causing massive imbalance)
• Charisma Enhancement only gives pets 10% damage per level now instead of 50%. Pets seemed to be getting insane damage multipliers that made
them extremely imbalanced.
• Enhance Weapon Damage worn bonuses should now properly stack with VSES buffs. (Includes masks from Sslithigon and others)
UPDATE - 11/21/12
PET DAMAGE AND LEVEL CHANGES___________________________________________ _______________________________________________
• All normal pets have had their damage readjusted to be more balanced at higher levels and not make such a huge leap, overall greatly reducing their power
which was 4-5 times stronger than path pets since they used monster's damage tables.
• All path pets have had their damage boosted a bit and will never be out-damaged by normal class pets anymore.
• Path pets are now level 46 once again. This level will increase as the level cap raises and is simple to manage. Overall, this change was made so pets could
be damaged easier by higher end mobs and not remain invincible.
NO MORE LEVEL RESTRICTIONS FOR ZONES_____________________________________________ _______________________________________
• Players can explore all zones now at any level as long as they have the key/flag.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________
UPDATE - 11/20/12
NEW VSES CAP RANK 40________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___
• VSES can now get to rank 40. Players need to be level 50 and obtain 1500 to a stat (CAPPED) and 500 heroic stat. Total of 2000. Any heroic stat above this
will still result in the player getting Rank 40.
NOTE: If you're level 46 and just getting back into the game, you will have your buffs stripped if they go above rank 24. If you remove some of your armor you can reach 24 with the buff and put your armor back on. Overall, players need to reach level 50 and they will be fine.
FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________
• Teepwin the Adventurer is no longer on a faction with the Varlyndrian Guards. Players who were KoS to Varlyndrian guards could not see his wares.
SPECIAL THANKS: Skrillix for figuring this out and reporting it.

NEW LEVEL CAP_______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____
• Players can now reach level 50.
• VSES currently caps at rank 30 1500 to 1550 to a single stat. More VSES ranks will be added soon.
• Stats now climb up to 1500 (not including heroic) up from 750.
NEW LDON MERCHANT__________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___
• There is a new LDON merchant in the guild lobby (Next to Magus and Nemeen) who sells STR, DEX, INT, WIS and CHA Type 7 augments.
These were added to give players more customization with their VSES and also bring back LDONs as a viable source of entertainment.
• The NPC Serithia the Talented who used to give LDON points for Alien Tokens in the bazaar has been removed from the game.
VSES STACKING FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _
• Flamara's Power now stacks with the VSES
• Biggy's Cloak now stacks with the VSES
• Earthguard's Nature's Chosen Protector buff now stacks with VSES and gives 20% a level instead of 12% a level as intended by new rules.
SPELL FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________
• Melee paths should no longer be resisted with their special endurance-based attacks.
• Stormblade's Call Lightning now has a 12 second recharge instead of 6 seconds as originally intended.
• Slayers now get 50% base damage per level instead of 35%. They are the masters of melee combat and are unmatched in normal attacks.
• Celestial Champion's Griffin King's Blessing now stacks with VSES.

SPELL FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________
PLEASE UNLEARN YOUR SPELLS/DISCIPLINES AND RELEARN THEM.
NOTE: I discovered the issue with Shoulder Rush and Desperate Strike not getting spell power or intelligence enhancement bonus, it's because the
skills were set to be bard usable at level 1 and 8 which automatically changed them into songs. Songs do not gain spell power bonuses, only song
bonuses from DEX but ONLY if the bard is skilled in that instrument.
• Bards have lost Varlyndrian: Shoulder Rush and Desperate Strike but have gained Song of Wounding ranks 1 and 2 to compensate and help them out.
These new songs are in the Bard's spell book and can be enhanced by Dexterity Enhancement but only after the bard learns at least 1 point in stringed
instruments.
• Poisoner's Strike of Venom now works as intended and deals damage to the enemy and not the poisoner.
• Many special attacks from Slayer, Commander and others have lost the little floaty skulls effect but have of course retained the bash/slice animation.

THE MAIN LOBBY UNDER HEAVY ATTACK____________________________________________ _______________________________________
• The first assaults from the Voldrothus have started to happen. For now you can let the guards handle the intruders but don't attack the guards unless
you want to become KOS! This is the first sign of the upcoming Assault of the Voldrothos update.
SPELL FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________
• Spirit Warden's Animal Spirit's Wrath now requires the correct path charm to use.
• Shoulder Rush and Desperate Strike should now scale with intelligence enhancement.
ITEM FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________
• Fixed a typo on the oakmail boots.
• Fixed the Draton`ra`s Shadowskin armor to have four type 7 and one type 8 augment slots.

SPELL UPDATES___________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________
• Poisoner's charm power is now called Poisoner: Master of Toxins
• Poisoners now coat their weapons in fatal toxins when clicking their charm instead of making a poison to do it. The vial of poison wasn't giving the
poisoner the correct amount of bonus damage, so this was severely hurting their dps. Poisoners will also summon gas grenades like they have
always done but this saves for one less item and the correct buff amount.
• Vial of Weapon Poison is now called "Piece of Junk" and is useless and no longer needed.
• Rogue: Vile Kit of the Poisoner now only has a 30 second recast instead of 5 minutes.
• The old Shoulder Rush has been removed and a new Shoulder Rush which scales off Intelligence Enhancement (as it should) has been added.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
ITEM UPDATES
• Armor augments will now properly fit inside charm slots.
• The Varlyndrian Power Source no longer has augment slots but has had some health, endurance and mana added to it. (scales with level)
