The big city is here and better than ever! Take a stroll over to the market square, church, castle cates, stables or barracks to uncover new mobs, npcs, quests and much more! This zone was so much fun to make since it didn't really have much going on in the original! Adding new mobs and story to the zone helped bring it to life and make it feel like a true city. I hope you all enjoy it![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Mounts
The time has come to climb upon your horse and ride into battle!!! Head over to the stables in the bottom left of NCC to get your hands on a horse today!

Dr. Brewster's Bigger Brews

"Overequipping" Gear Overhaul
We've seen some suggestion posts recently talking about how "overequipping" gear feels a little off and unrewarding. There are just too many +# to ALL stat options and not enough diversity in how those stats are spread based on the set they come from. So we are making some stat changes to better "balance" these items. Below is a list of the changes.

Scrap (FU Armor)
Legs - 600 Armor, +4 to all -> 600 Armor, 8 INT, 8 STA
Body - 800 Armor, +4 to all -> 800 Armor, 8 INT, 8 STA
Helm - 600 Armor, +4 to all -> 600 Armor, 8 INT, 8 STA
Face -  600 Armor, +3 to all -> 600 Armor, 6 INT, 6 STA

Dark Alien (FUU Armor)
Legs - 700 Armor, +6 to all -> 700 Armor, -8 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR

Helm - 800 Armor, +6 to all -> 900 Armor, -6 STA, +8 AGI, INT, and STR
Face - 300 Armor, +4 to all -> 300 Armor, -4 STA, +4 AGI, INT, and STR

Bearserker (Mirky Woods Armor)
Legs - 600 Armor, 14 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR -> 200 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +18 STA and STR
Body - 1000 Armor, 18 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR -> 300 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +22 STA and STR
Helm - 800 Armor, 16 STA, +10 AGI, INT, and STR -> 300 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +20 STA and STR
Face - 400 Armor, +10 to all -> 100 Armor, -10 INT, +10 AGI, +14 STA and STR

Wooden (Dark Marsh Armor)
Legs - 5000 Armor, +18 to all -> 5000 Armor, +40 STA and AGI
Body - 6000 Armor, +22 to all -> 6000 Armor, +40 STA and STR
Helm - 7000 Armor, +25 to all -> 7000 Armor, +40 STA and INT
Face - 4000 Armor, +15 to all -> 4000 Armor, +20 STA, +10 AGI, INT and STR

Naval Officer (Pirate Shores Hard Mode Armor)
Legs - +20 to all -> 3000 Armor, +50 AGI, +20 INT and STA, -20 STR
Body - +24 to all -> 4000 Armor, +50 STA, +30 AGI and STR, -25 INT
Helm - +27 to all -> 3500 Armor, +40 STR, +40 INT, +20 STA, -30 AGI
Face - +17 to all -> 2500 Armor, +25 AGI, INT, and STR, -15 STA
Shoulder - +15 to all -> 2000 Armor, +15 to all


Summary[/p][p]Wow! Lots of stuff! This was one of the greatest challenges I've had so far. Honoring such an iconic zone but also bringing new and interesting things to do in the area. As always, thank you all for playing this game and I hope you all enjoy this update! See you in the Haunted Forest soon![/p][p]-Dino

The black flag flies once more over the horizon. Undead Blackbeard and his crew have clawed their way back from the abyss to claim the seas as their own. Board your ship, ready your blades, and take back the Pirate Shores![/p][p][/p][p]

What to expect!
- Fight your way through Blackbeard's crew to get your hands on new weapons, armor, rings, trinket and outfits!
- Easy Level Dungeons, level 30 requirement, will create a slight challenge by increasing the HP and damage for level 30 range mobs.
- Medium Level Dungeons, level 60 requirement, a tougher challenge introducing Debuffs while having increased HP and damage for level 60 range mobs.
- Hard Level Dungeons, level 90 requirement, turn the dial up even higher and bring about Aggro, additional Debuffs, increased HP and damage for level 90 range mobs.
- All difficulties have different items to obtain. So make sure, even if you're max level, to do the level 30 and 60 dungeons to collect everything![/p][p]- You'll need to be in a party to enter the Dungeon. Minimum of two players.
- Loot is a little rarer than normal zones! So keep grinding to get your hands on some booty![/p][p]- Mobs and Bosses do not respawn. Once you've wiped the shores of pirates and turned in your daily quests you can teleport out using the NPC on the beach near spawn.

Relics
Relics are a new item type coming with the Pirate Shores dungeon and other dungeons in the future. You'll have a chance at obtaining the Pirate's Flag, Captain's Log and Blackbeard's Spyglass from Undead Blackbeard!

Enhanced Spyglass
Enhanced? Yes! Obtain the base version of Blackbeard's Spyglass and a new rare resource called Cursed Doubloons to focus your Spyglass into specific stat types. The 3 enhanced versions all give strength bonuses while gaining additional stats based on how you focus the Spyglass.

Cooldown Timer Info and FAQ
- You can do one attempt per day of per difficulty.
- Dungeon cooldowns reset at the normal daily reset time.
- The cooldown activates when you enter the zone so don't teleport out!
- While in a party, if you disconnect and the other party members are still in the dungeon you will rejoin upon logging back in.
- If all party members leave the zone or log out the zone will close.

Q: My party is still in the dungeon and I teleported to a different zone. Can I rejoin them using the Dungeon Ready Up Window?
A: No, you are locked out from rejoining.

Q: I went in with a party but then they left so I could do the dungeon solo. If I disconnect or teleport to a new zone, does the dungeon close?
A: Yes and you'll need to wait for the next daily reset to enter the same difficulty dungeon.

Q: My team and I are in the dungeon and I disconnect but they don't. They are still in the zone, can I rejoin?
A: Yes, as long as a party member is still in the zone when you log back in you'll be with them.

Q: If someone relogs are they still considered part of the party? Normally it kicks you out once you dc.
A: Yes and no. They will join your instance but will need an invite back to be part of the party again.[/p][p][/p][p]
