Time to bring the flavor back.

I am making sure all the paths on the new server offer nice rewards for the work you'll be putting into the quest line to get your path items.
Let's just say to get your ring it's almost as bad as the epic 1.0 quest. To have the title "Grand" over your head means you worked hard for it.
None of these items are just handed to you with little effort.


I wanted to let everybody know the server is well on the way and doing great. Here is another treat for everybody, a path of the beastlord
that gives you multiple options as a jack of all trades to help your group in many ways. You can sit back in serpent form and turn what used
to be a crappy heal into a solid heal spell for your team, or you can do some dps in werewolf form if somebody is tanking for you and so on.
Players will be able to change in and out of forms on the fly and I have made this work with a script so there will never be any problems
of buffs not replacing each other. Enjoy.




• WEREFIEND (JACK OF ALL TRADES)

SPECIAL NOTE: Were forms DO NOT STACK and will remove each other. Use forms for certain situations to help your team or dps etc.

- EVOLVING PATH BUFF -> Bestial Transformation (BT)
- TIER 1: Increases your STR by 20 for 1 hour.
- TIER 2: Increases your STR and INT by 40 for 1 hour.
- TIER 3: Increases your STR, INT and WIS by 60 for 1 hour.
- TIER 4: Increases your STR, INT, WIS and CHA by 80 for 1 hour.
- TIER 5: Increases your STR, INT, WIS and CHA by 100 for 1 hour.
Also grants you 10% more hp.

- CHARM: Werewolf Form - Increases your melee damage by 500% but reduces your melee mitigation by 50% for 1 hour. Grants BT Tier 1. CD 6
- SOURCE: Werebull Form - Increases your melee mitigation by 50% but reduces your damage by 500% for 1 hour. Grants BT Tier 2. CD 6
- EARRING: Wereserpent Form - Increases your WIS by 500 but reduces your melee damage by 500% for 1 hour. Grants BT Tier 3. CD 6
- BRACER: Werebat Form - Increases your INT by 500 but reduces your melee damage by 500% for 1 hour. Grants BT Tier 4. CD 6
- RING: Primal Balance - Crush your enemy for 25 x level damage and heal your group for 500 base healing. Grants BT Tier 5. CD 36


NOTE: If you're new to custom servers: This server has custom source which allows STR, DEX, INT, WIS, CHA to modify melee/ranged/song/spell damage,
healing, pet/swarm pet damage etc for each point. If you see a buff above saying it gives 500 wisdom it's also improving your healing by 500%.

More to come.
