He rolled out of bed with a groan. The bite of cold in the air was his first clue that the fire had gone out while he slept and, not for the first time, he bemoaned his life as a bachelor. Huddled over the hearth, he carefully built the fire anew, ruminating on his regrets. If only she'd returned his affections, if only independence was not her guiding principle, if only he hadn't said... that thing. He might have had Belshyve to help him stay warm at night.

Still, he needed to get paid and the unreasonable winter that had arrived in Bloodriven, with its blisteringly frigid winds, miserable amounts of snow, and bone-breaking ice patches would not deter him. He ate quickly, dressed, and stepped out the door, pulling the collar of his navy blue coat more tightly closed in a futile attempt to keep out the bitter wind. The snow crunched underfoot, and the thought crossed his mind that the extraordinary chill of winter this year might not be an entirely natural occurrence. He shrugged at the idea. It didn't matter, he had work to do. Adjusting the shiny gold badge pinned to his lapel carefully, he set to preparing the arena approach for the onslaught of adventurers soon to be arriving.

OOC Note: Winter is coming to Duskruin! Look for new winter-themed wares, some spruced-up rooms, and the creatures in the arena might look a little icier than usual.

Deciding to stay for a much longer time to learn all that they can from the town of Bloodriven, the Kraet have created a small encampment on the river’s edge. Surrounded by mostly shrub-brush, brambles, and grass, the small clearing houses a large bonfire and benches for gathering during the cold Bloodriven nights, as well as offering a variety of comfort foods to share. Branching off from the main clearing, there are several shops in this area brought to you by the Kraet.

Be sure to visit and enjoy the atmosphere!

Hey gang, I have some updates I've been working on. Just going to list each with some notes.

We are removing the group bonus to bloodscrip. We felt pretty strongly about giving an incentive to players who wanted to join up and enjoy the arena together, however, it also created an unfair advantage for those that didn't group up or those who didn't use multiple accounts. We aren't removing the bonus 25 bloodscrip though, we're increasing the ceiling to 300. The currently formula for the arena is 9 * round. You earn +50 for winning. The new formula will simply be 10 * round. Same for winning.

With this update, we'll be increasing the ceiling in the heist from 260 to 280, but reducing the artifact sellback slightly to average it out to being closer to 300 like the arena. The sewers will also have a slight bonus to the base bloodscrip you can find, which is currently between 15 to 30. It will now be 15 to 32. That +2 will also impact caches. The cap cache will be going from ~20,000 to ~21,000.

The arena will now have some wintery themed opponents for February. Nothing else about them has changed.

The pending TITLE revamp will be going live, with all the Endless titles that were announced last time. If you participated in Endless before the changes and have Legacy stats, you'll get those titles as well.

We have a new Legendary Bloodrune this run, and matching cloak.

We are going to be doing a new format for a lot of the higher end Mania stuff. Instead of it being a live event, we're moving the higher end stuff to an automated auction of sorts. We're also going to be trying out the piles again that you can search for something for bloodscrip, limited to once per character. The reasons for these changes is it was becoming increasingly difficult to be able to do something for everyone that showed up. And it was also difficult for me to run it for 4 to 8 hours, not counting the prep time. There still may be some shenanigan's, but we also want to make sure we can do more for more players, and automation is the key there. More on this new format soon!

There are also some other things in the works. I am buttoning up some final bits of code, and once I know for sure about some of this, I'll announce even more!

If you participated in the 2021 August's run, and were part of Secret Mania, it will be very similar to that pile situation. These aren't like EG or anything. They mimic the door prizes that we do. So things like the mangled spoons, Adv Guild packs, Quest Nexus orbs, Reim orbs, RPAs, or the capsules. There were other things too. We made it 1,000,000 silver to search. I think my announcement mentioned bloodscrip. But I believe we're sticking with silver. That's what happens when you get old and switch out words.
