The Ravens of the North

• Leader: Nikolas MacCraifft
• Location: New Halas

• The Ravens of the North is the tradeskill society in New Halas. The early settlers in this area are mainly barbarians and other followers of Marr, but any new settlers are welcome provided they keep the peace, work to rebuild Halas, and show respect for the shrine of Erollisi.

• Halas, the ancestral home of the Northmen, is no more. Torn asunder by years of fighting with the snow orcs, the city was finally razed to the ground by the fiery chunks of Luclin raining down to fulfil the shaman's prophecy: "On the night of fire, Halas shall be consumed by earth. Blood shall flow like water, for death travels through the air." Yet the sons and daughters of the Marr twins will not go quietly into the Gray Wastes, nor shall we leave our beloved Erollisi Marr unguarded as she travels those lands. Where she now lies, let us go too. We shall rebuild New Halas to stand guard by her shrine, and never again shall we turn our backs on our home.

• Level locking enabled starting at level 30.
• Removal of level restrictions for Achievement distribution.
• 100% achievement bar settings prior to max level.
• Single Currency for Open PVP, the Discord Token. The new coin will be the Discord Token and I have set up a merchant to exchange the tokens for you in increments of 5 or 100. I know some will be able to gear up more of their characters quickly, but that is the point. I want you to be able to play on your account at whatever level you want and either save or spend your token when you want.
• Warfields! Antonica and Commonlands... Warfields are restricted to PVP servers. It is a new event that will be on pvp-servers only that will give players the opportunity to fight for control of Antonica or the Commonlands. It will not be affecting pvE servers in any way
• The writs are being changes to 6 kills for 5 tokens across all levels. A single currency regardless of the level will be used.

• Brand new 1st Campaign armor sets and accessories
• Many of the accessories are based upon the currently BG-disabled RoK PvP accessories. Those adornments have had their effects adjusted and will be re-enabled for battlegrounds!
• Each armor piece will have a pvp-only Blue adornment slot!
• As such, we'll all be introducing 20+ new Blue adornments!
• Battlegrounds at levels 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 are being activated!
• Battleground armor sets and accessories will be on sale at each of those tiers
• Additionally, we've internally removed the ~15% damage reduction applied to all spells in pvp combat.
• after the GU the BG tiers will be: 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, and 90
• Players in each tier will be auto-mentored down to the lowest common level (30, 40, 50, etc)
• Players in each tier will also have armor sets and accessories available for purchase from the existing PvP Merchants in the major cities.
• The BG 'starter' sets will be the already-existing Mastercrafted armor sets (from levels 30 -> 70). Each has had a small amount of toughness added to its existing stats.

• Tending to Toxxicology
  

We are aware of the issues with the quest in Sundered Frontier "Tending to Toxxicology" becoming gated if someone summons Sherra prior to someone else zoning in. And good news! We have a fix... Now the bad news... In order to fix this issue we are going to have to remove the stage of the quest that requires you to zone into Toxxulia's Mound. When we do this it will reset everyone back to the first stage of this quest.
I just wanted to give you guys ample warning that this will go in with GU56 (Currently scheduled for late May) so if you have progressed the quest you might want to try to finish it before GU56 or lose your progress and possibly have to get the updates for the Wyrmlord and Wyvernlord again.

• Infiltrating the Sauctum : Shadow Ordinance
  The sanctum trial stone will simply not be required to start the event anymore. This change is already tested internally so it will definitely be part of GU 56, and I'll see about getting it out earlier than that
• Предписания для инкрустаторов. I had a play around with the possibilities of an adorning quest, and when GU56 hits Test server there should be a questgiver appearing in the main tradeskill societies so anybody interested can see what they think. I don't think it anything similar is needed for tinkering at present - leveling up tinkering is already quite painless thanks to guild harvesters, and tinkerers are not affecting the broker prices for newbie equipment so significantly as adorners. That's not to say it's out of the question, but I don't think it's valid to consider tinkering and adorning as equal and equivalent, as they work very differently.

Some other things that we are discussing as a possibility for providing more adorning material are making more newbie quest rewards tradeable, and possibly putting some transmutable items into those rainbow scrying areas. These are still under internal discussion however, we aren't planning to rush a whole bunch of changes in all at once so we'll see how it goes.

• We've added a new set of dummies for GU56 that come as a linked encounter of a total of eight heroic training dummies. Enjoy!

Оружие

• There will be some new 1 handed and 2 handed healer weapons with GU 56. In both heroic and epic content.

Локации

• Unfortunately we will not be making drastic changes to Thundering Steppes this time around. That doesn't mean there will be no changes but we are not considering it being revamped. GU56 will be full of cool stuff though (Including but not limited to New Halas and some new raids) you should see it hitting test servers in the not too distant future.
