Dragon Scale Patch

dragon_scaleThis patch is on the smaller side but has some big changes to game mechanics. As usual I didn’t fit everything in that I wanted to, but there is plenty to look forward to in future patches. First up, a new item – Dragon Scale: Can permanently reinforce any structure that decays (adds a large amount of max hp). You can do this over and over, and it gets a small bonus based on your construction skill as well. So if you’re going on vacation for a while you can prepare with some 1 million HP walls.

Plant growth time has been slowed down a lot. Watering plants still doubles the speed. The irrigation mechanic from the old version of this game is back: if you plant next to water the seeds will automatically get the growth bonus. Does not work with salt water. Any water used for irrigation has a chance to dry up based on your farming skill. The lens will now show if a plant, or egg, is watered/fertilized. The bug with plant growth on server restarts is fixed.

Starting to slow down in your old age? After level 50 there is a slight, but increasing penalty to your skill experience. So train your favorite skills in your youth, as you may have a little trouble catching up in other areas.

Most of you saw the new forums already, and the map expansion should show up in the next patch or two. I’ve been trying to work on the game every day so that there will be a regular stream of patches, however my new development laptop just broke and I have some work from my other job now and then.. Just want to apologize in advance for any delays. The server and website cost goal has been met, the monthly donation bar increased so I could have a goal for quitting my other job and working full time on Mystera Legacy. Either way, I will keep working hard on this game. Thanks for your support! 🙂
