Pirates and new leviathan artifacts

Death · Post by **Death** » Tue May 29, 2007 2:48 pm

Ahoy Matey!

Those who have the fishing skill are in for a real treat! We are currently working on bumping leviathan artifacts and adding pirates.

Leviathan Artifacts: Don't you hate killing a leviathan only to find gold bricks flown into your bag? Geeze, you can get those off paragon mongbats in half the time it took to get that net! Well say goodbye to those common marties because they will be replaced with new leviathan only marties. New decoration ones as well as new weapons, new armor and maybe even magical items!

Pirates: In addition to the bump on leviathans, there will also be the introduction of pirates. When you have enough skill in fishing, you will have a chance of alerting pirates (Kind of like fishing up sea serpants except pirates pop up instead). These pirates will board your boat (There will be about 3 crew and 1 captain) and try to kill you to steal your goods. If you happen to die at that time, you will be looted dry and the pirates will vanish from your boat. If you happen to kill all the pirates though, you may be lucky to find special items on their corpses (Maps, MIBS, nets, etc)

The pirates will be similar to berserkers in terms of difficulty. Probably a little slower but they'll be able to use abilities such as armor ignore and doubleshot.

Yeah it will be advisable to have someone else with a fighting/rezing skill. Holy squirrels might come in handy as well once I redo their healing.

How quick will they disappear?

Make a tamer/fisher and keep a decent mid level pet that wont lose loyalty too quick on the boat with you.

I agree Hector. I love the idea, although it's gonna require some reorganizing of skills, I can't wait to get back out on the open seas and demolish some pirates.

A pet on the boat set to guard would probably be a good defense but keep in mind that there are 4 pirates so one of them might pass your pet and attack you.

They will not disappear until their main target (The fisherman) is dead or if all the pirates are slain. A couple of seconds after the fisherman is dead, they will vanish and take anything on the corpse with them as booty.

Since yeah, those pirates that I've sent have their own artifacts and their own ways of dropping the artifacts. Not to mention the lovely pirate curse.

The new leviathan marties are complete after about 5 days or so of coding. They are currently be tested. When they are tested and are working 100%, they will be put into the leviathan script. I was also let everyone know what items to expect.

The pirates have not been coded yet but will be worked on shortly afterwards.

I can't wait for the pirates. I have been adjusting my fisherman's skills in anticipation. Azalin the Dread Fisherman challenges all pirates! I challenge you to loot my raw fish steaks!
