Planes of Tlessa - A gift from mr. Whiskers to you

Planes of Tlessa 1.5.13

Welcome back everyone as I have some new updates related to performance and player feedback!

Let's jump in shall we?

Performance

Theres a known issue around exploration and reincaarnation where the game can silently crash because of the way we handle rewards for players. This has been greatly improved to be faster and slit the way we handle rewards into different "jobs" that individually get processed when a character defeats an enemy.

This doesn't just effect exploration it effects all aspects of fighting both manually and through exploration.

Battle Messages have been extended

Players have the ability to disable the following battle messages in their settings which also now includes the following:

• XP per kill
• XP per kill for exploration
• Skill XP per kill (including total skill xp)
• XP for Class masteries, Ranks and Specials
• XP Fot when a character levels a faction loyalty fame level
• Item Skill Kill Count (useful when you have an ancient item equipped that comes with a skill tree)
• Faction Points Gained
• Gold per kill including total gold gained
• Gold Dust per kill (if the currency event is running or if the location you are fighting at drops Gold Dust) including total Gold Dust
• Shards per kill (if the currency event is running or if the location you are fighting at drops Shards) including total Shards
• Copper Coins per kill (If you have completed the appropriate quest to let you gain Copper Coins in either events or Purgatory) including total COpper Coins

By default these new settings are enabled and all messages will show in the Server Message tab. Player can turn these settings off if they wish not to see such messages.

Special Location Changes

• The Gold Mines now allow players to explore and gain currencies this place drops, before to get additional currencies such as gold dust or shards you had to manually fight.
• The Old Church now allow players to explore and gain currencies this place drops, before to get additional currencies such as gold dust or shards you had to manually fight.
• Purgatory Smiths House now allow players to explore and gain currencies this place drops, before to get additional currencies such as gold dust or shards you had to manually fight.

Mr Whiskers is dropping items for The Winter Event

Head down to the Ice Plane and kill any creature, either through manual or exploration and have a chance (35%) to get a randomly generated item, could be a set peice, could be a regular item, could have one enchant could have two. Those enchants could be normal (up to level 400), Unique, Mythical or even Cosmic!

You do not want to miss out on this, so make sure you get your item while you can!

For exploration this happens once per group of enemies, as players know you can fight between 10 and 25 creatures every 2 minutes. After each group fight, you have a 35% chance to get a gift from mr whiskers.

For manual fighting, this happens after each fight, as you only fight one creature at a time.

Planes of Tlessa - Yearly Winter Event

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another game update! This update primarily focuses on two key areas, along with a few bug fixes here and there.

I have some exciting updates in relation to the Winter Event which is launching in the next week and will run until the end of March.

lets dive in shall we?

Fixes and Small Changes

• When we move items from the inventory to a set the inventory table properly updates.
• When we craft or do any action that updates whats in our inventory, we properly update the inventory count.
• We can now select all items in the inventory to then do multiple actions with.
• Drop down menues play a little more nicer in relation to mobile.
• When we go to equip the selected items from our inventory we now properly filter and select items we are allowed to equip.
• When we select a lot of items from the inventory (via the checkboxes or the new select all button) and go to equip them or do any other action with them, the modal box properly scrolls so we dont take up too much room for either desktop or mobile.
• When we select multiple items, then open the disenchant many through the drop down and then decide to close the modal, your inventory will not become blank.
• When destroying all items in your inventory we no longer destroy artifact items in relation to quest items or sets or what ever you have equipped.
• Players will find the revive and the battle messages now properly lign up on mobile and desktop in terms of properly being centered with eachother.
• When using the capital city system to recruit units you will now see a Kingdom Count that updates as you filter your kingdoms and recruit units.
• Minor fixes to how the gold bars withdraw and deposit input works for the capital city system.
• When you select multiple items in your inventory and then, from the Selected Items (Actions) drop down, select Disenchant Selected, we now only disenchant valid items, this includes:
  • Items with Enchants
  • Non Quest items with Enchantments
  • Non Artifact items with Enchantments
  • Non Alchemy items with Enchantments
  • Non Trinket items with Enchantments
• Monsters have been rebalanced across all planes, raids, special maps (such as The Ice Plane and Delusional Memories) and special event locations.
• Fixed an issue where, when players look at there Weapon Damage stat break down on their character details they would see Amount of stat used as NaN%. This now shows the proper amount of stat used %
• Yearly events, such as the The Winter event and the Delusional Memories event have been reduced to three months with two raids that last for 1 month each. The first raid is always scheduled for 2 weeks after the event starts. There is also a 1 week gap in between raids.
• Players will find that the all actions for when you select multiple items in your inventory are much faster.

Raid Boss Changes

When it comes to raid bosses, all characters regardless of power are limited to 2 trillion in damage. This might make the fight take longer, but stops players who have immense power from curb stomping raid bossses and not letting other players from participating.

• If a player does less then 500 million in damage, the raid boss will laugh at the player and not attack.
• If a player has not ambush chance or resiatance (from trinkets) AND the player has less then 500 million in damage, then the raid boss will not ambush the player, instead they will laugh at you.
• If the player has no counter chance or reistance (from trinkets) AND the player has less then 500 million in damage, the raid boss will not counter the player, instead they will laugh at you.

The above changes make it easier for new players who join for the event to participate in the raid fight even thought ehy wont do as much damage as someone who has maxed out their gear.

Because of the monster balance changes and being a much higher level then a new player or a player who has not leveled as much, higher level players are still incentivised to do as much damage as they can for the chance at an Ancestral item and a full set of gear from that specific raid boss.

Armour Class Changes

We no longer, when calculating your AC - Aka: Armour class or Defence divide the amount of armour class from all your items by the total number of items you have equipped.

Help Doc Changes

There have been help doc changes discussed through out these release notes, however some important pages have been changed:

• Events now lists out all the current known events and has links to their Event Pages which discusses what players can look forward to. If the event is not running, it will show the next time it starts so players can plan accodingly.
  • This also means Events page as been moved to a new Event section to also details other events that do not have their own special event page, that is the page you would go to if the event was running and you clicked on it on the home page of the game, these events are:
    • The Gold Mines
    • Purgatroy Smith House
    • The Old Church
  • There is also a new help page discussing what Global Event Goals is and how players can participate.
• New Unique Documentation.
• New Global Event Goals Documentation .

The Ice Plane (AKA The Winter Event)

The Ice Plane for those unaware is a special event map that all players regardless of level or "age of account" can join in and participate in.

All you have to do is traverse down to The Ice Plane, no quest items, no nothing is required!

Players who do not have access to Pugratory will find that they will fight surface mobs, while those with access will fight much harder creatures, putting their builds and skills as well as equipment to the test!

Players down here can participate in what's called a Global Event, where you fight monsters and help the plane push back the forces of the icey evil and in doing so - at specific stages - will be rewarded with Unique Corrupted Ice gear.

There are a series of new quests added ontop of the existing quests that already exist!

There are two raids scheduled for the event:

• The Ice Queen
• The Frozen king

You can learn more about this event here

New Quests

There are a series of new quests to push the story of The Ice Plane even further, there are new raid quests for new The Frozen Dead King raid.

There have been 23 new quests added to The Ice Plane. These will tell the story of the new raid boss that was added: The Frozen King. You will learn mre about Trix, The Soldiers Brother and a new NPC will help you out on your journey, known as Mrs. Piper. You will even meet The Soldier and his borthers father: The Frozen General.

As usual the story is dark, inticing and will leave you with a ton of questions. This story ends on a cliff hanger and picks up again in Raid Quests for The Frozen King as you face him and get more answers you seek!

As a result the raid quests will require that you complete this new quest line, which in conjuction with existsing quests requires that you complete the other quests on The Ice Plane.

Fewer Kills Required

Players who on The Ice Plane and participate in the Global Event which is a new tab above the Map, will see that they have to kill - together - far less creatures (even with exploration) then the previous year. 20,000 Creatures will a reward every 2,000 kills.

New Cosmetic Item and Updates to Name Tags

Currently, when players participate in the Ice Queen Raid and do her set of quests - even if you di participate in killing the queen your self, which you should for a full set of Corrupted Ice Gear which is better then Purgatory Chain gear, players can get a comsmetic text option called titles, which in their settings they can apply a title to them selves which will show up in chat! There are a few titles to choose from and new ones have been added!

New Ancestral Item

There is a new Ancestal Item called: Ancestral Soldiers Statue

This can be gained by being the player who kills The Frozen King, a new raid boss for The Ice Plane (The Winter Event).

Anacestral items are those that are boost the characters stats, but more importantly contain a set of Item Skills which are trained by killing a specific number of creatures and over time continue to increase your stats.

This specific item is geared towards strength based characters.

Affix Changes

• Stat increases affixes including: Stat Increasing, Weapon Crafting, Armour Crafting, Spell Crafting, Ring Crafting, Enchanting, Accuracy, Looting, Dodge, Criticality and Casting Accuracy have been reduced from a max of +200% at the high end, to +75%
• Base Modifiers Enchants have been changed to reduce from +200% at the high end to: Base Damage Modifer is now 55% at the high end, Base ...

Planes of Tlessa - Reworked Capital Cities

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another game update! This update primarily focuses on two key areas, along with a few bug fixes here and there.

Today, we’ll cover the Capital City UI Rework and the Removal of character versus character PvP.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

Capital City UI Rework

One of my main goals with the capital cities was to improve the way players upgrade buildings, recruit units, and repair damaged structures.

With that in mind, I have removed the old table-based layout in favor of cards. These cards can expand to reveal more information about the relevant building, whether you're upgrading or repairing it.

I’ve applied the same design approach to unit management—keeping it simple, clean, and mobile-friendly for those who enjoy playing on the go.

This redesign significantly simplifies the queue system and cancellation process. It also allows players to queue multiple buildings and units. Instead of sending separate requests for each building or unit, everything is now consolidated into a single kingdom request. This request travels from the capital city to the designated kingdom and is processed all at once.

The new system not only improves backend efficiency by eliminating bugs but also makes it easier for players to understand what’s happening, when it's happening, and why.

One major change: building and unit requests can only be canceled while they are traveling—that is, when the request is en route from the capital city to the kingdom. This status is clearly indicated when players review their requests and decide which buildings or kingdoms to send them to.

Here are some updated help documents related to this rework:

• Capital Cities
• Managing Buildings
• Managing Units
• Managing Gold Bars

Removal of PvP

Character-based PvP allowed any character above level 301 to challenge others by traveling to their location, clicking "Duel," selecting a target, and initiating an attack.

However, this feature caused several issues:

• Harassment of lower-level players by high-level characters, leaving some players feeling unfairly targeted.
• Monthly PvP events—where participants were transported to a special surface location to auto-battle in a tournament format—failed to gain traction. The intended flow was for the weakest combatants to battle first, with survivors progressing through the ranks. Rewards included a legendary item and 2 billion gold for all participants, while the winner would receive an additional 2 billion gold and a mythic item. Unfortunately, these events either malfunctioned or lacked sufficient participation.

Due to these issues and the fact that character-based PvP was unbalanced, it became a barrier to adding new classes and combat mechanics. As a result, the entire character-versus-character PvP system has been removed.

However, kingdom PvP—focused on warfare—remains intact.

All relevant help documents referencing character PvP and monthly PvP events have been updated to reflect this removal.

Planes of Tlessa: Healing Winds

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we have some updates to discuss as we rework some class features, including healing.

Shall we get into it?

Fixes

• Buildings and units that check whether they need to request resources for the capital city mechanic will now properly determine if they need resources or not. Previously, a building or unit might assume they need resources and get stuck in "requesting."
• When equipping and unequipping items there was an issue where stats would not properly update on the front end. They were for the backend, but not the front. This has been fixed.

Changes to How Healing and Resurrection Work

The following changes are documented in the new How Healing Works help docs. These changes should make Prophets and Clerics more viable, buff vampires to their intended height, and make healing spells in general—regardless of class—useful.

These changes also apply to PvP.

Healing Mechanics

• Healing spells now only activate if healing is needed.
• Unused healing energy is stored and converted to holy damage:
  • Non-Prophets/Non-Clerics: 5% of Charisma.
  • Prophets: 25% of Charisma.
  • Clerics: 50% of Charisma.
• Healing reserve is used during the monster attack phase.
• If healing is not needed, a reserve is created for future use.
• Healing spells also activate when damage spells are cast.
• Healing reserve can be used on the first turn due to potential ambushes.

Healing and resurrection do not activate if you are ambushed or countered. Resurrection also no longer works during PvP battles.

Resurrection Mechanics

• Resurrection requires one or two healing spells.
• Resurrection chances from multiple spells stack:
  • Two spells with 15% chance each provide a 30% chance to resurrect.
• Maximum resurrection chances:
  • Prophets/Clerics: 100% (outside Purgatory and Twisted Memories).
  • Vampires: 95% (with two 50% chance spells).
  • Other Classes: 75% (with two 50% chance spells).
  • Prophets/Clerics in Purgatory/Twisted Memories: 65%.
  • Vampires/Other Classes in Purgatory/Twisted Memories: 45%.
• Clerics and Prophets have a default 5% resurrection chance without any spells.

Again, resurrection will not activate if you are ambushed or countered.

Life Stealing Mechanics (Vampires Only)

• Life-stealing enchantments activate during attacks.
• Vampires can leech health during the enemy phase:
  • Deals 5% of durability as damage.
  • Restores health based on the leech amount.

How This Works in PvP

When two players attack each other, instead of during each attack step of the attacking player, the defender will only heal after the attacking player has finished their phase, whether it be spells or life-stealing, or both.

To make it fair, only the healing aspects of spells and life leech will activate; resurrection will not work in PvP.

Changes to Viewing Item Details

When you are in your inventory and you click on an item, the details section is much more simplified and only shows specific sections if the item itself has those sections. For example, you will no longer see ambush and counter details on an item that doesn't have those values.

This does not apply to the information section when viewing an item.

New Quests

• Gold bars in the capital (One-Off Quest - Labyrinth)
  • Unlocks the ability for players to manage gold bars in their capital cities for kingdoms on the same plane.
  • Must have unlocked the capital city system to complete.

PvP Fixes

There have been a few PvP fixes around fighting, healing, and life-stealing.

• When a player dies in PvP, they are properly moved away from the attacking player.

Map Fixes

• The Set Sail modal now properly works when selecting a location to set sail to.

Character Sheet (Additional Details Section)

• Resurrection chance has been added under the Resistances section.

PWA Support (Experimental)

Players can now test out the new PWA experience Tlessa has to offer by installing the site as an "app" on their phone, tablet or desktop through their browser.

This is still experiemental, but my chrome testing is so far showing it works on linux desktop, in theory it should just work on phone or tablet. If there are issues please post in the #bugs section for discord.

Planes of Tlessa: Capital Cities and Player Requests!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, we have some new and exciting updates for 1.5.9. An expansion of character stats and the new capital city concept for kingdoms!

Let's dive in!

General Fixes:

• When a player is viewing their kingdom and the hourly update happens, there was an issue where the numbers for resources and other aspects would flicker between your other kingdoms. This has been fixed.
• When players view a weapon, a ring, a piece of armor or a spell of healing with nothing equipped, we now show the item's base damage, base armor class, or base healing instead of seeing 0.
• Added Trinket Details to the item comparison and when a player views a trinket in their inventory with nothing equipped.
  • This will show Ambush Chance and Resistance as well as Counter Chance and Resistance.
• Healing Adjustments for item comparison now use proper colors and values.
• When players try to privately conjure celestials in Delusional Memories, there is now an NPC to handle that: The Witch of Delusions.
• Added a new Enchanting Help Alert when you first open Enchanting. This can be closed and will use your browser cache to keep it hidden.
  • This alert helps newer players understand that INT is a required aspect of enchanting and gives some ideas on how one might be able to increase their INT. ALL CLASSES can enchant, you just need to find a way to raise your INT.
• We no longer find enchantments by both enchanting level and current INT. While this was fun, it was confusing players, so now we filter by enchanting skill level.
• We also show INT REQ in the enchanting dropdown list.
• Fixed Gem Atonement Documentation to properly explain how atonements are calculated.
  • Fixed Gem Atonement Calculation to ignore slots where you have no sockets/gems.
• Fixed Holy Oils Documentation, item View, and Game Inventory View to show that devouring is not 1-15% but instead: 0.1 - 1.5% for the level 5. Other levels have been updated appropriately.
• Celestials for Surface, Labyrinth, Dungeons, and Shadow Planes have been rebalanced to be slightly higher, but not overly (50 Million - 300 Million).
• If a Celestial should spawn through movement conjuration, that is if you move and one spawns or it's celestial day, and that Celestial is from an event map - IE: Delusional Memories, then another celestial will spawn elsewhere in the game (never on the same event map).
  • When players then use PCT - and the above is true (1 celestial in Delusional Memories and 1 somewhere else), then an additional check is done to see if you have purgatory access. If that is true, you will go straight to the Delusional Memories Celestial - assuming you do not have any existing private conjurations. Should you not have access, you will be taken to the first NON event map celestial assuming you do not have any private celestials conjured.
• When a player helps NPC's through faction loyalty, the max Item Defence Bonus they can reciecve is now 95%.
• Log icon for kingdom now properly shows when you have at least one or more un opened logs.
• Players can now delete all kingdom logs
• Players can now fsort kingdom logs
• Fixes to how events end so they properly end when they should.

Nerfs

• Item defense has been adjusted to never go above 95% for kingdoms. This allows items to not become completely useless, but you need way more of them to do damage to kingdoms.
  • Faction Loyalty Documentation has been updated.
  • Items and Kingdoms Documentation has also been updated.
• Stat Reduction Affixes are nerfed to 95% instead of 100%. This will leave the enemy with 5% of its base stats.
  • Mythics, Legendary, and Cosmic Items will not roll this aspect above 95%. Existing items have been balanced.
• Skill, Resistance, and Devouring Enchants - for example: Ripping Vines, will never go above 95%.
  • Mythics, Legendary, and Cosmic Items will not roll this aspect above 95%. Existing items have been balanced.

Player Suggested:

• /pct will now prioritize private celestials that YOU have conjured over public. If there are no private celestials, we look for public celestials.
• Players now have an additional setting under their chat settings to enable or disable a notification in Server Messages when a monster is too low level for you.
  • By default this is auto-enabled. Players can disable this in their settings.

Show Additional Details

Players can access this by going to their character sheet tab and clicking the Show Additional Details orange button.

If a player is on mobile, they can go to their character sheet tab, expand the top section, and then click on the Show Additional Details orange button.

When clicking this button, players are taken to a new view with four panels:

Stats, Class Ranks, Resistances, and Elemental Atonement.

There are now dropdowns to let you change the views of specific panels to see other stats such as Holy, Devouring, and so on.

Class ranks have also been changed to use dropdowns instead of tabs.

When characters look at the stats panel, some of the stat names are blue. Characters can now click on this to see a full range of detailed breakdowns of everything that goes into that stat, whether it's durability or voided weapon damage.

As a result, the Character Stats section of the help docs has been redone.

Move Resources

Players who complete a new quest line in Labyrinth will learn a couple of things:
- The Helpless Goblin has a father.
- You can unlock the new Market Place building.
- You will learn about a future event coming!

Players who complete the quest line can then unlock the new Market Place Passive, which when leveled to level 1, lets you unlock and build the new Market Place building, which - when leveled to level 5, allows you to request resources from other kingdoms on the same plane that you own - who also have a level 5 market place.

When a player requests resources from one of their kingdoms:

• 75 Spearmen
• 50 people (population)
• 1 Airship (Optional)

Will carry either a max of 5,000 without an Airship from the kingdom you request resources from or 10,000 with an airship - of any valid type of resource or all resources.

The resource transfer will show up in the queue as units in movement since you are sending spearmen.

Once the resources are dropped off, the spearmen and (if sent) airship will return to the kingdom they came from and you will get a log indicating the amount of resources dropped off.

Should the requesting kingdom be attacked or no longer be in your control and your resources arrive - you lose the resources you requested when you owned the kingdom and the spearmen are slaughtered. You will receive a log.

New NPC's:

• Old Haggard Goblin who lives in Labyrinth - used to unlock the Market Place passive for kingdoms.
• The Witch of Delusions who lives in Delusional Memories and is used to both privately and publicly conjure celestials.

These new NPCs have been added to faction loyalty for their respective planes.

New Quests

There are new quests to unlock The Capital City and some new passive skills. Each one is a chain of quests that tell a story about two sons and their father. Players will unlock new passives and participate in two sets of weekly fights to test their characters strength!

Capital Cities

Players who unlock and complete the queues for the new Market System to allow resource transfer, can also participate in a quest line that unlocks the ability for one of their kingdoms per plane, to be a capital city.

This allows players to manage all their kingdoms, albiet in a basic way for now, on that plane from a single kingdom.

Players can auto walk their kingdoms, upgrade/repair buildings and recruit units.

Capital cities are always at the top of your kingdom list.

Weekly Fights Expanded

Aside from the weekly fights in Delusional Memories, there is a new set of weekly fights for players who can confidently take on the Haunted Abberation Celestial in Shadow Planes to challenge them selves against.

To access the Lords Strong Hold on Shadow Planes, players must complete the same quest line that unlocks Capital Cities.

These fights, unlike those in Delusional memories have a small chance of rewardind a Mythic and a set of Legendary Uniques. The chance for the Mythic is very low. Players will get the Legendary Uniques.

There is also Hells Broken Anvil in Hell that has a set of monsters stronger than the location for Shadow Planes.

Both of these can be unlocked by completing quest lines for the Capital City feature outlined below.

Players can learn more about weekly fights here.

New Passive Skills

• Market Place

  • Allows you to build the Market Place building at level 1 of this skill.
  • Requires a quest to be completed in order to unlock the ability to train the passive.

• Capital City Building

  • Reduces the orders travel time from the capital city to it's coresponding city by up to 60% for building (upgrade and repair) requests
  • Requires the player to complete a quest to unlock.

• Capital City Units

  • Reduces the orders travel time from the capital city to it's coresponding city by up to 60% for unit requests
  • Requires the player to complete a quest to unlock.

• Resource Request

  • Reduces the travel time between two cities by 60% when requesting resources
  • Requires the player to complete a quest to unlock.

New [Player Suggested] Options for NPC Faction Loyalty Interaction.

Players will now find they can select an action beside the task for the NPC when dealing with faction loyalty. For example, if you want to complete a bounty, click attack - if you die, you will be shown a revive button in place of the faction loyalty details.

For attacking, you will now select the attack, you will not see a list of details about ...

  • Fight monsters and join together to fill up the meters to be rewarded with a mythic item of the new gear set: Delusional Silver.
• Crafting Phase (Legendary Unique for each stage):
  • After the battle phase is complete, on the hourly reset, players will move on to the crafting phase. Craft anything you want. This will not be given to you but instead given to Red Hawks for later use. Craft as many as you want, just make sure to click: Craft for event.
• Enchanting Phase (Legendary Unique for each stage):
  • After the crafting phase is complete, on the hourly reset, players will then participate in the enchanting phase by selecting "Enchant for event" when they select the enchant option from Craft/Enchant.First players will have to choose to use event items (Event) or regular items (Regular) from there they select the item, the enchants and click Enchant for Event. If you have no event items, you will have to use your own crafted items to enchant for the event.

Once enchanting is done, all the items you crafted are "used by the Red Hawks."

Players will repeat this over and over again to get a piece of the new gear.

New Gear: Delusional Silver

This gear is better than Corrupted Ice or the new (see Twisted Memories) Twisted Earth (Which is the same strength as Corrupted Ice).

Delusional Silver can be gotten by participating in the three phases of the new global event for the event: Delusional Memories.

Players can also get a full set of unenchanted gear by defeating the raid boss as well as being the player who has the most kingdoms when the event ends.

New End Game Location: Alchemy Corrupted Church

This new location only exists in Delusional Memories and contains creatures with over 1 Trillion in stats. These are called the Four Judges.

Not only do players need access to Purgatory, but they also need access to Twisted Memories and they must have reincarnated. As a result, there is an end game quest line to access this location.

Players are not intended to kill these judges in one hit, they are intended to not die a lot, as each death ticks the chance of you getting a new enchanted item down.

Players who defeat a judge have a small chance to get: Cosmic Delusional Silver.

This is the next growth in enchantment power beyond that of mythics. These are extremely rare and extremely powerful. They can have stats up to 900% - 1200%.

Much like mythics - players may only have one equipped and one in a set for it to be valid equippable set (provided there is no mythic and/or no unique in that set).

The chance to get one is 1% + a max of 15% of your looting skill. Each death reduces this 15% by 0.02%.

Players can fight these judges once per week. That is, you can kill all four, once per week.

New Goblin Shop Items:

• Goblin Garbage Stew:
  • Stacks (Max 4)
  • Lasts for: 120 Minutes (2 Hours)

New Guide Quests

There are 5 new guide quests that continue helping players go from training trinketry to introducing guide quest chains, stat increases and making players really start to fine-tune their character builds.

These new guide quests will bring players from Purgatory down to the new Twisted Memories plane.

There are also new guide quests that unlock at level 10 to introduce the new Delusional Memories Event map.

These will introduce new players to Factions and Quests as it gets them rea...

Planes of Tlessa 1.5.7 Kingdoms and the Oracle

Welcome back ladies and gents to Planes of Tlessa 1.5.7 - a smaller update that fixes some issues with kingdoms as well as various bugs through out the game.

There are four new classes added:

• Cleric (Required Class Ranks)
  • Uses new single handed Maces
• Book Binder (Requires Class Ranks)
  • Uses new single handed Scratch Awls
• Dancer (Can be selected at registration)
  • Uses new single handed Fans
• Gunslinger (Can be selected at registration)
  • Uses new single handed Guns

There are various game bug fixes that have been made across the board, especially in mobile around layout.

Faction NPC Quest Fixes:

• Quest items should not rewarded anymore.

Kingdom Changes

Kingdoms have changed a bit in 1.5.7:

• Players can no longer spend gold to upgrade buildings or recruit units.
• Kingdoms can now no longer have more then 100,000 of each unit type in any given kingdom.
  • All players kingdoms have been adjusted.

Queues

Each kingdom now has its own queue tab when you are viewing that kingdom. This Queue tab will condense all aspects of time related actions of your kingdom. Building upgrades, repairs, unit rrecruitment and building expansion timers will appear here.

Players can also cancel those actions from this new tab as well.

Expansion Slots

Buildings that give resources, such as stone or iron can be expanded upon reaching max level and not requiring repair.

When a building is expanded, you will gain more resources of that type, another 31,000 - rasising your max resources over time to recruit more units.

Players can expand their building by going to their kingdom and tapping/clicking on Lumber Mill (for example) and if it is max level, on the left hand side you will see a new expansion section.

New Kingdom Passive Skills

Two new passives have been added:

• Bountiful Resources
• Bountiful Smelting

The first passive, Bountiful Resources, will give 31,000 Wood, Iron, Stone, Clay and Steel per level.

The second passive, Bountiful Smelting will increase your steel by 31,000 per level.

These two new passives go hand in hand with the new expansion concept to allow players to gain more resources and recruit more units.

New Shop (For buying)

Due to the fact that four new weapon types have been added: Guns, Fans, Maces and Scratch Awls - the Shop buy table has been redone to make the table load faster.

The table works the exact same way as before, filtering by types, searching by name and the associated actions: Buy, Compare and Buy many.

The difference here is when you click on an item, the details are simplified, still giving players the ability to see the full info about the item if they wish.

When players click compare, the comparison data is also much more simplified.

Should a player wish to see expanded details they will see much more simplified comparison details.

This effects the crafting item table in the info section

This crafting table when veiwing the help docs to learn about crafting, has also been updated to follow the same format as the Shop - but again, even simpler.

The items here will show you the crafting level required and type when vewig their details - as well as skill level required and trivial.

Labyrinth Oracle

The Labyrinth Oracle comes to Tlessa!

While players are in Labyrinth they can select the new Labyrinth Oracle feature fro the craft section. This allows you to move everything (it's all or nothing) from one item to another, completly replaceing all aspects of that item.

For example, maybe you have a shiny mythic with gems, holy oils and enchantments attached. Maybe this mythic is a Purgatory Chains item and you have a Corrupted Ice piece you want to move everything to.

With this feature you cen select the item to move from, and the item to move to. Pay the currency and bam everything is moved over. Gems that might have been on the item will be placed back into your inventory. The item in which the attributes were move from, will appear in your inventory as a regular item.

Players are allowed to move any valid item to any other valid item, example: A ring to a dagger is allowed.

If an item you are moving to, does not have the same amount of holy stacks as the item you are moving from, the item you are moving from will retain the excell holy stacks as to not waste them.

For example: If an item you move from has 20 stacks applied and then you move to, allows for only one holy stack (Bloody Broken Dagger for example) - then when the transfer is done, the item you moved from will have 19 applied holy stacks and the dagger - in our example - will have 1 applied holy stack.

Holy Stacks Fixes

Specific Items such as Pirate Lord Leather and Corrupted Ice gear sets from Events and Raids were not properly generating with Holy Stacks of 20. This has been fixed, all current and future gear that randomly drops from Raids and Events will now have their holy stacks properly calculated.

Boons now stack

When characters apply alchemy items to them selves to give them a boost, the items that can stack with eachother will now do so. For example, instead of having five solar dusts as seperate boons, players now have one solar dust stacked 5 times for a total of 2.5 hours.

this also means that removing a boon, or a stack of boons - removes all the boons in a stack. There is no way to remove one boon from a stack.

Boons properly ware off during exploration

Have you even loaded your self up with powerful gear, powerful alchemy items that make your stronger then the most powerful being out there?

Then went exploring, saw your boons ware off but still took down those beasts you were too weak to handle with out the alchemy items?

Well that stops now! Players who use alchemy items to create boons and then go exploring might come back later to find they are dead. Thats because boons now properly ware off during exploration making you weaker then when they were applied.

Mops and Brooms Pt. 3: Faction Changes and Affix Damage Nerf

Welcome back to Tlessa! In this round of updates we have changes to the way factions work and what players can do once they have maxed out their faction.

There are also some general bug fixes and changes to some special locations to remove the ability to explore.

Let's get into the changes shall we?

Changes and Fixes

General:

• Class Specific Skills (Orange in your trainable skill section) now properly show the class bonus which is based off the level of the skill it's self.

  • This means Class Special Attacks that fire automatically should properly be calculated now.

• Gold Rush chances are now properly firing off.

• Gold Dust Rush chances are now properly firing off.

  • Gold Dust Rushes are now 1/500 with a 25% chance to gain one.

• Fixed issue with gold mines not properly giving gold.

• Purgatory Smiths House and Gold Mines will no longer give rewards to players who are using exploration at those locations. Manual fighting must be used at those locations to get the currency boosts and the item drop chances.

  • As a result the location info has been updated to reflect as such.
  • Info Page for Gold Mines has been updated to reflect the rewards at the area.

• Alerts should be more visible.

• Items Details Modal will now properly display on mobile.

• Faction points can no longer be earned while exploring.

  • Factions Help page has been updated with more relevant info
  • The second Guide Quest which introduces the player to exploration is updated to help new players understand that exploration is now more of a "training" and that Factions must be manually earned.
    • This quest now requires players who have not completed it to level their surface faction to level 2.

• Gold Dust and Gold Messages, in some instances such as Gold Rushes and Gold Dust from auto disenchanting items - will not show in Server Messages if you are capped in those currencies.

Raid Quest Fixes:

• "Trade Ya" Stolen Coin now drops from: Shadow of The Creator (Raid Monster)
• "Who Am I?" - Lost Tome Of Spells now drops from: Corrupted Pirate (Raid Monster)

General Quest Changes

• Satan's Hide required for: "Satan's Calling" which is a pre-quest to one getting into Hell has been fixed to now drop from Gold Mines in Shadow Planes.

UI Fixes

• Completed Quests - Side Bar on the top left - now properly show the quests in the table.

• Completed Guide Quests - Side bar on the top left - now properly shows the guide quests in the table.

• When viewing how to get a required item on a quest, if the quest is for a raid - the monster the item drops from will state: Raid Monster.

  • The types of monsters quest items can drop from are:
    • Regular (Drop Down)
    • Celestial - Conjure or wait for Wednesdays event.
    • Raid Monster - Select from the monster list while at a location with a raid.
    • Raid Boss - Drops from the raid boss.
      • At this time there are no quests the require items from a raid boss.

Affix Damage

Affix damage has been changed to now be a % that is of your weapon OR spell damage (depends on which attack you use). The same rules apply as before, stacking and non stacking - but now instead of a flat number, it's a %.

Regular affixes that one can craft can go up to 60% for stacking affixes and 125% for non stacking affixes.

Uniques can go up to 150% at legendary for both stacking and non stacking and Mythics cap out at 300% for both stacking and non stacking.

Faction Changes

• Faction points have been buffed when doing your factions:
  • Factions who's level is 0 will now see players gain 50 points per kill before bonuses.
  • Factions who's level is 1 or higher will now see players gain 75 points per kill before bonuses.

Both of the above are buffed from 2 and 1 points per kill before bonuses respectively.

If players have a quest item that allows them to gain more points, they will now - regardless of faction level gain 95 points per kill.

Faction Loyalty

When a player reaches level 5 in one or more of their factions, there is a new system they can interact with called Faction Loyalty.

This allows a player to pledge to a specific faction. Players can change their pledge at any time.

When you pledge to a faction you will then gain fame with specific NPC's on that plane by completing one of two category of tasks: Bounties (Kill X amount) and Crafting (which can include Crafting. Crafting includes: Weapons (Normal, Staves, Bows and Hammers), Armour, Spells and Rings.

Each NPC has a fame level, and by completing their tasks you will gain a fame level with them which can provide boosts as well as rewards such as currency, XP and a Medium Unique item.

Each NPC has their own set of objectives. The objectives will randomly change per level. The Fame Required to gain a level is calculated based off the total amount of tasks for that level. There will always be three bounty and three crafting and each can have a maximum of 50 for a possible total of 300 "tasks" for a level.

Players who pledge to a faction and max out the fame on each NPC (there are 25 levels of fame) - that players kingdoms will gain x% towards a new category of defence for their kingdoms on that plane, while pledged to that planes faction.

For example if there are 4 NPC's on a plane, each NPC when maxed can give 25% Item Defence Bonus for a grand total of 100% protection making units the only way to take the kingdom.

But be weary, you cannot be pledged to more then one faction at a time. choose wisely. You can pledge to each faction and therefore max out each NPC's Fame for rewards and such, but the Item Bonus only applies to that which you are pledge

You cannot use exploration for bounties, they must be done manually.

For crafting related tasks there will be a new button: Craft for NPC which will then give the item to the NPC as opposed to your inventory.

This button only appears for the item in question and a special server message will be shown each time you are successful.

Crafting skill requirements still factor in and the crafting tasks have been balanced such that new players who complete surface faction, can participate.

Crafting tasks are balanced based on plane.

The Fame system has been introduced into the Winter Event: Ice Plane to unlock new area slighter better then Gold Mines but Still under Purgatory Smiths House - for currencies and bonus items.

New Guide Quests

These will introduce characters to getting into purgatory. It will teach players to purchase their first parts of end game gear, getting you into purgatory, starting your trinket journey, all but gem crafting. That will come in the next release.

There is a second new guide quest that will unlock for players level 100 or higher. It will introduce players to the new Faction Loyalty System.

New Winter Event Quests

This quest chain tells the story of The Emerald Prince, but first we need some history of how this world works.

At the end of this Quest chain, which will make use of the new fame system, characters will get a quest item that allows them to get mid game based rewards from The Old Church.

New (Temporary) Faction

While the winter event is going on, players can earn faction points for The Ice Plane, and then when they max it then can pledge to the Ice Plane to gain fame, which the second set of the new quest line will require.

"Why is it temporary?"

When the event ends, the Faction points you earned, will reset - when the event comes back around players will have to do there faction and loyalties again the next time around.

Kingdom for Winter Event Also Reset

When the Winter Event ends, any and all kingdoms on the Ice Plane will be destroyed. Players will need to re-settle their kingdoms when the event comes around.

This does not effect other maps. Just The Ice Plane.

Mops and Brooms Pt. 2: Cost Reductions

Welcome back to Planes of Tlessa 1.5.5!

Today we focus on more fixes and changes and some slight UI improvements to character sheet.

Fixes

• Work bench will no longer show holy oils when selecting an item to apply holy oils to.
• Gold Dust to apply oils to items using the Work bench in purgatory has been reduced.
• Fixed issues with the Work bench when you do not have items to apply oils to.
• Fixed issues with Class Specialties table filtering when you would select Please Select to reset the table.
• Fixed random "No items ..." error when the Work Bench is initializing.
• Fixed potential issue where Purgatory Smith house could give invalid items as legendaries and uniques.

Character Sheet

When players navigate to their character sheet, on the left hand side, in the top most box where you see basic information, you no longer see 5 orange buttons.

This has been condensed to one, that when clicked allow players to see various pieces of info about their character.

This is broken up into 5 different tabs. Some of these tabs will have "sub tabs."

Players will also notice that on this new section they will not only see the stats, the elemental atonement and so on, but also help information about what they are looking at.

We can see an example of this below:

[Image here].

[second Image].

Currencies

• Gold Dust is now capped at 1,000,000.
• Shards are now capped at 1,000,000.

All characters have been adjusted.

Alchemy Changes

All alchemy Costs have now been significantly reduced.

The maximum cost is now 50,000 Gold Dust and Shards.

• Kingdom Damaging Alchemical items cannot be sold on the market any more, any currently listed will not be de listed and can be purchased.

Quest Rewards

All Quest Rewards have been rebalanced:

• Surface
• Labyrinth
• Dungeons
• Shadow Planes
• Hell

These quests reduce currency cost and rewards to more realistic and "balanced" amounts.

Currency Cost and Reward for quests are based on which plane the quests NPC lives on. Surface NPC's give less and cost less, where as Hell Npc's cost more and give more. It's mixed and matched but balanced based on the plane the NPC lives on.

Gold Mines

Now has a similar effect as Purgatory Smiths House where players can get:

• 1-10,000 Gold (Can increase to 50,000 Gold with an event^*)
• 1-500 Gold Dust (Can increase to 1000 Gold Dust with an event^*)
• 1-500 Shards (Can increase to 1000 Shards with an event^*)
• 1/1,000,000 Chance to obtain a Medium Unique from killing creatures (reduced to 500,000 with an event^*)
• 1/1,000,000 Chance to trigger an ^*event that increases the above currencies.

As a result of this change, the "fighting here gives you between 1-1000 shards" has been removed.

Random Numbers

The random number system or RNG in the game has been tweaked. This might make things stupidly hard, or it might make them slightly more grindy. Either way this should reduce the "it states 1/1000 but I got it first click" which is still a possibility, but should be much more reduced.

This applies to drop checks and random number generation.

Info Pages Updated:

• Gems
• Holy Items
• Events

Mops and Brooms

Welcome back to Planes of Tlessa 1.5.4!

This release focuses mostly on fixing bugs and issues with the game.

Fixes

Dialogues

• Pressing escape now closes dialogues.

Attacking

• When the attack misses secondary attacks such as class specials that deal damage, depending on the attack type required will now properly fired, for example Arcane Bolt for Arcane Alchemists were not properly firing if your spell was blocked or you missed, now it does.
  • This applies to all attack types.
• Entrancing now properly works with Cast attack.
• Ambush and counter are properly working on both player and monster side.

Exploration

Experimental: I have increased the mobs encountered from 1-8 to 10-50.

• Fight time out modifier can apply to exploration to reduce the time between encounters.

Ambush

When ambush kills a monster, it now properly updates the attack state so that you get the attack time out, the rewards and can move on with next creature.

Character Under Level Drop Chance

This has been reduced down to a +15% chance to not flood new players with new items.

Equip Best

while this feature is still very experimental a small change was made:

• If we detect any negative aspect we will not take item. This may still produce unexpected result.
