Magic items, staves, leaderboards

· by Taiphoen

Magic items got reworked. They now drop from enemies, just like random items: mages, clerics and necromancers more often leave scrolls and charged trinkets, everyone else leaves pills and potions. Champions, bosses and legends always carry magic, chests hold it too, and locked chests hold better. The higher the tier, the more spells an item has and the sooner it crumbles. From the rare tier up, rings, amulets, gloves and lights can carry spell charges too, and you use them with the use command. Many old potions, pills, scrolls and wands got new spells and charges, and the copies you already own changed with them. Shops sell only common and uncommon magic.

Staves now cast through the staff skill, and a targeted spell hits a single target, like a wand, not the whole room. A staff held in both hands parries well, and carpenters make battle staves. Shalafi mages got imbue: put your own spell into a staff or an item in your hand, and mastering staff sometimes wakes that spell with a blow.

Item timers and affects now keep running while you're out of the game. Come back after a long break and some of your items will have crumbled, and the spells on you and your gear will have worn off. Curses and other debuffs don't wear off while you're away.

The website has leaderboards now: achievements, remorts, quests, bosses, crafting, travel and even deaths, plus who plays what over the last month. Take a look: https://dreamland.rocks/leaderboard.html

- Anti-paladin ranks are cheaper: the initiation takes 150 kills and 100 qp. - worth now shows score, and kills and deaths sit at the very end of score. - Quest bandits are always of the alignment opposite to yours. - Quest mobs see in the dark and see the invisible. - Mage and cleric mobs regain mana faster, and charmed vampires and paladins obey order cast. - A kill with gear heated red-hot is now credited to whoever heated it. You can burn your own empty corpse. - James Joyce is back with the Battleragers: he cleans the cave. - Correction: bosses did not get elemental immunities. Immunity to a boss's element can roll on its legendary item.

As always, thanks to everyone who tests new features and reports bugs!
