[Aerokii]

Yeah, well, Engineer didn't need anything new anyway! ._.;;

...actually it really didn't, which is why this doesn't bug me.

 

[Trist95]

wouldn't summon sheep give you more than summon cow because it is gained at a higher level?

 

[szatanista]

Pretty cool but....New classes plox!

 

[malikdanab]

wouldn't summon sheep give you more than summon cow because it is gained at a higher level?

Well, sheep give exp from sheering and cows don't. On that matter, is it possible to have farmer gain exp from killing farm animals?

 

[Kainzo]

Nether Quartz should drop souls and exp now. Ugh.

 

[zxgoldenxz]

Just curious, are there plans for Alchemists getting exp for making complete potions or cauldron recipes?

In time, yes. Limited by how we can obtain that info from the server/client.

 

[Ryunko]

Kainzo, what i think is, the exp for some things still so low, if you dont "buff" that, the people gonna just ignore and just mine again .

We have to go in steps. The first step is making it available. The next step is tuning it.

 

[lioIIoil]

Merchants should earn exp for making a chest shop. Like 200 exp per chest shop made. Should be high since it costs 50 s to make a shop.

This is already doable. We chose not to do it but we may re-evaluate that.

Would it be doable to make it give merchants exp per sale? This would be cool to see them level up on how many things sold.

 

[Glacial_Reign]

Will the class balancing come with this patch also?

That would be to easy to exploit.

Nope.

Will the class balancing come with this patch also?

Balance is a constant thing - we won't be having "massive" balance patches unless its absolute dire.

 

[Mustardmanmcgee]

Finally! This is being implemented! I'm most excited about enchanters not having to mine like crazy just so they can enchant some crap, much better idea to make it so enchanting gives xp.

• Mobs difficulty around spawn reduced by 25% (including dmg/health/exp)
• Mobs scale a little faster/high to compensate for the reduction.
• Hot-fixes to ensure mob-exp is the right amount.

 

[JoeBrowniee]

Can us Alchemists get EXP from making potions please?

not possible at the moment - but we're looking into it.
