Patch Notes: Version 1.96

Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.96
November 5, 2008 

Servers are UP and I am pleased to present to you the patch notes for 1.96. Enjoy!

• Edit to patch notes
  • There was one note missing about Theurgists.

Theurgists

• Theurgist pet spell piercing is now capped at the same percentage as the Theurgist's personal spell piercing at 20% of their level.

The Camelot Team proudly presents version 1.96. Casting classes were the focus of this patch cycle with the Spiritmaster, Wizard, and Enchanter classes all receiving new spells. Several new trophies have been made available, and delves have been added to all remains to help make creating trophies easier for trophy hunters everywhere. This patch also brings a continuation of the Shrouded Isles armor updates which began in version 1.95.

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

• Through careful breeding and many long hours of magical training, player controlled mounts will now allow players to travel at the same speed as the Speed of the Realm provided by Hasteners throughout the lands. This change will affect all player controlled mounts with the exception of the free Level 10 mount.
• After slaving away for many long hours, the Taxidermists of the realms have finally managed to figure out how to make trophies out of the remains of the following monsters: Vaerin, Torst, Samut, Yefeu, Tutankhsekhmet, Andranchos Xuthos, Echo of Qebehsenuef, and Mesedsubastet. These monsters will now drop remains. Note: Samut, Tutankhsekhmet, Echo of Qebehsenuef, and Mesedsubastet will drop remains only if you or someone in your group needs credit for their respective encounters. You will be able to get these remains by turning in Reforming Essences of the Afrit to the Trogo Zontanos Mageia and selecting their name if you already have credit for these encounters.
• The Taxidermists found in the Housing Markets have adopted titles befitting their status that will alert players as to what types of remains they will be able to convert into trophies.
• Remains that drop from monsters will now list the trophy potion that is required to make them into a trophy.
• The loading screen tip which describes the quest indicator has now been updated to reflect the new graphic.
