[Druids] - Velious Timeline

Allakhazam Patch Notes

Root and Snare stack now -- 1 Month after Velious - 1
Chloroblast + Nature's Touch spells added -- 2 Months after Velious - 1
Track Skill Cap Increased from 50 -> 125 -- 3 Months After Velious - 1
Faydedar + Venril Sathir made triggerable for Epic Quest -- 3 Months after Velious - 1
Venril Sathir made 3 day respawn, VSR faster respawn -- 4 Months after Velious - 1
Foraging when hungry/thirsty makes you automatically get food/water -- 4 Months after Velious - 1
Wind of the North/South can be casted from anywhere + Egress works indoors -- 6 Months after Velious - 1

I think those are all the big changes for druids after Velious.

`Wind of the North/South can be casted from anywhere `

thats the important one)

tbh the logical thing would be to have made it ONLY castable at DL dru ring. eg the wind spells draws power from the dru ring, so only works in the vicinity of it. However, seems we are slaves to erm fate....

castable bear pet?

It was in at launch.

Nature Walker's Behest is pretty sweet actually. Looking forward to that spell. A nearly 1k heal and ATK debuffs will be cool too though.

1 month after VSR/Fay Triggers (4-4.5 months after Velious) = VS becomes ~3 day spawn and VSR much faster spawn rate. For a month of VSR, it appears directly after VS dies, so people can leave it if they don't need his other drops (we'll see how that pans out).

Was a double patch day on April 17, 2001:

We have increased the spawn rate of Venril Sathir and his skeletal remains. Please note that only Rangers and Druids will be able to trigger the spawn for the skeletal remains, and those remains will only be dropping items for those epic quests. Hopefully these changes will dramatically reduce the competition and resentment over this spawn.

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010417b.html

To clear up some confusion, we wanted to let everyone know that we have changed the timing of the spawn of the Venril Sathir remains. It no longer appears directly after the death of Venril Sathir. And we also urge you to read the patch message below about the changes to this creature.

4 Months into Velious - 1

Foraging changed so that if you are getting the hungry and thirsty messages, your next successful forage will always be drink or food. We have also decreased the chance of foraging fishing grubs a bit and increased the chance that you will forage water.

I had forgotten about this but it is nice.

12 Months into Velious:

Made all Bait and flies equipable in the Ammo slot.

Fishing Grubs made ammo usable (go go corpse holding fodder)... I hope that 2 weeks after Luclin launch doesn't stop this from getting put in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I always liked this change. I hate foraging them otherwise. They end up in brown bag on the ground at the moment.
