The Soulreaper has been changed a bit from the last post on this thread, you can check out the updated 100% working one on the main site. After testing, this class is addicting. Bring a portable toilet because you won't leave your seat from how fun they are. Special thanks to my friend Natedog for helping out with the scripting side to this wonderful solo class.

MORE SPOOKS SUMMONED BY THE SOULREAPER EPIC!

Here they are, the final four paths to complete the 64 path choices that players can choose from. A release date will follow shortly after they are done. It's been a time-consuming and extremely difficult journey to finally get here and I will be glad to finally be done with a solid path system that I will never have to fully revamp ever again and players can experience them for years to come.

NOTE: There will more than likely be more paths to play, but they will be designed by donators, so there's no telling what will happen there until it does.

NOTE: Pyromancer and Cryomancer are heavily overused class names and I wanted to get more original with Varlyndria's 2nd release.

I personally have never taken the time to try out your server but i do give you props to what you have done with it. By far the most customized server ive seen. I may have to take a look at it when it gets released again.

This is looking great Drakiyth, can't wait until this is released, I may have to have 7 or so accounts just to have 1 of each of these varieties, haha. They're all awesome.

Thank you! See you when it launches.


Haha! That's the spirit! I make the server like this on purpose, so you don't run out of things to play or get bored quickly. Variety is the spice of life and so is replay value.

NOTICE TO PUBLIC: I have stalled slightly on production due to some scripts that needed to be fixed. Big thank you to both Secrets and Natedog for their help. Hopefully, the last 2 paths get out quickly. I am as excited as you all are to hit my goal!

Flamecaller, all, day.

When I tested them I had a great deal of fun, almost couldn't stop and wasted some dev time. They are a fantastic class.

These three angels are the keepers of many awesome treasures that can be earned in Varlyndria.

DEDICATION POINTS: Earned by staying online and are used for purchasing useful consumable items.
GLADIATOR POINTS: Earned in PVP zones by killing other players and are used to purchase player vs player gear which has major bonuses to hp.
HEROIC POINTS: Earned from killing strong bosses and completing difficult tasks and are used to purchase player made items that are created from the donation system.

Dedication Points can net you some really nice consumable items, like mounts, experience potions and
restoration potions. Mounts run at 200% speed and need to be repurchased when their charges run out.

NOTE: Dedication Points are simply earned by staying online in any zone. Players are given 5 points every 5 minutes.
Health, Mana and Endurance potions have 20 charges each.

The Avatar of Legends holds all the player made items you could ever want. Heroic Points are earned through difficult tasks, quests and killing powerful bosses.

The Rift Keeper will judge you based on your STR, DEX, STA, INT, WIS and CHA or the term Gearscore before allowing you access to certain zones. This is to keep new players or alts out of high-end content until they earn their right to be there or have obtained enough attunable gear from other players to qualify. I added this for two reasons: It's a major boost to the economy when you actually do find items to sell to other players and it gives players a goal to reach when they are online.

Varlylndria: Ascension is going to bring a whole new world and here is why:

• Players will earn less money from mobs or sellable junk items now.

• Players can earn a little money with repeatable tasks/jobs.

• Players will earn decent money from finding items and selling them to vendors but not much.

• Items will have solid bazaar worth because of how time consuming they are to acquire.

• Very strong weapons and armor CAN be bought from stores but they are extremely expensive, overall
making money worth while to get those fast but expensive upgrades.

• All normal crafting of the old everquest is history. My crafting is going to be a lot easier to work with and
won't contain hundreds of items of pure garbage that you could create in normal Everquest. I personally hated
the crafting system in EQ with my very being, and that's one of the main reasons I wanted to take a shot at
creating my very own tradeskill recipes that can actually be fun and worth while for players to get into.

After the Ascension happened, a new breed of orcs have taken over the old Crushbone Fortress. This new horde wants to eliminate everything that's not an ally of the greenskins, and have even gone as far as attacking Varlyndria for no reason besides greed and power tripping.

Crushbone is my favorite zone :D

This thing needs to release yesterday.

The ascension has brought on a lot of strange events, but none is more odd than what happened to Paludal Caverns. Now ruled by a once nameless bandit, Blackrazor has formed an alliance with an insane gnome engineer who has built a series of mechanical sentries to support Blackrazor's sinister intentions.

Kerra Ridge has been taken over by a powerful necromancer that goes by the name of Rethigar the Deranged. This foul villain is another target of Varlyndria that must be vanquished without hesitation.

A crazy group of grimling nature lovers have somehow teleported down into Norrath and have taken over High Keep for
their own selfish desires. This group calls themselves the "Gloomshroom Cult".

I've taken a few hours to revamp the website since it was really ugly and thrown together.
Check it out and also the first tier of donation items have been revealed. More coming soon.


WWW.VARLYNDRIA.COM

website looks great. any chance you are going to work on the forum? the current forum is very dated tech. and annoying to navigate through. vbulletin or even phpbb would be a vast improvement.

I'll get around to it eventually. Right now it's not my main priority, but the look of the site needed a change due to a big release coming soon.

Sounds Sexy

Quick update:


• Players can now get LDON points for killing any NPC on the server based on its HP. (You don't even need to be doing an LDON) The formula is MaxHP /1000. Example: The Boss you're fighting has 250,000 MaxHP, divide his HP by 1000 and the group gets 250 ldon points for defeating him. This system was put in to reward players with something for their endless killing spree besides exp/money/drops.

• LDON costs are now exactly equal to the price of the item. (Added for 100% balance because all items on the server are priced with a massive item creation script that prices them based on each and every little stat they have.) Example: An item that costs 26 plat, 4 gold, 3 silver and 2 copper would cost 26432 ldon points to purchase. (500 plat is considered a lot of money in Ascension)

Added 3 new tiers to the donator area for players to check out. I'm working on many things at once right now so bear with me. I'm excited as all of you to release the server soon.

Must have owlbear pet.

The rotten Nature's Chosen are back from the dead because of the Ascension, but something also lurks in the City of Mist...

NOTE: Natedog and I have been perfecting item creation scripts. Expect to see thousands of items to trade or use in Ascension.

Dat gnome kick!
