Wynncraft 2.1 Update Speculation

[prime plinth]

I'll start:
Material cost for repair is the items required to craft the item multiplied by 3

n = base ingredient cost on craft multiplied

T1 ingredients = 1/(3•n) of Durability
T2 ingredients = 2/(3•n) of Durability
T3 ingredients = 3/(3•n) of Durability

Not sure about soul point rework yet

[little pebble]

The only way I can see this being true is if they're also reworking professions, but I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a swarms update, so either I'm way underestimating the amount of content they've made or one of these are wrong.

[lavish bear]

Salted said they will not add swarms

[little pebble]

Well he did, but I wonder if he means that it's not a swarm in the traditional way and that its been changed somehow, either way it's obvious from the teasers that it's going to be an endgame-related event with something to do with the corrupteds that functions somewhat similar to lootruns.

Cuz swarms back in the day if I'm correct were random events in which mobs would flood a town causing lots of lag and probably killing low-level players. I just think that they'd change the way that works if they were updating it for today.

If I had to guess it'd probably be something that players can collectively track and/or activate themselves. So it's not so random anymore and it's probably bigger larger mobs backed up by some normal ones.

Look at what he said right after saying "Swarms will never come back"

Maybe I'm overthinking this but don't people always joke about updates taking 10 years?

[lavish bear]

You are overthinking

[little pebble]

Fair lol

Still the main focus of the update probably isn't professions

[lavish bear]

The most viable theory is that they are gonna reopen the nether portal btw

[little pebble]

I guess I can see that but then they've probably have to balance the archetypes better.

Also unless they do a cutscene or a quest for it I don't see how that relates to Detlas.

[lavish bear]

Havent you noticed that all near detlas the corruption has been growing durin the last years?

[little pebble]

Wait that'd probably have to be an endgame quest then because if a low level pvps they'll get destroyed.

[lavish bear]

Detlas is surrounded by corruption and really close to the nether portal

[little pebble]

Yes but what I'm saying is they're building it up like a corrupted "Swarm" is going to attack detlas. So this is either build up for a quest where you counter attack and thats how you unlock the nether or something else.

[lavish bear]

It may be 1 quest protecting detlas
and 1 quest understanding the problem and going in the nether for fixing the problem from the root

It is def gonna be an endgame quest

[little pebble]

The only thing I don't understand is that the lore has built up the nether portal as corrupting anyone who enters so how does that fit in with it being a pvp zone?

[little pebble]

100%

[lavish bear]

That you should ask to the old wynncraft

[little pebble]

I'm saying that I think it's been retconned already

[lavish bear]

It could be that in the nether there is no law, and maybe you are in fact corrupted and so kill others?

[little pebble]

So imagine if they had like a faction system where you could join the corrupted and attack cities and other players on the detlas faction

Probably unlikely but it would be cool

[little pebble]

@lavish bear Swarms is on the Bingo sheet.

[lavish bear]

This was not created by salted

[little pebble]

I'm aware I'm just saying that if they were really incapable of adding swarms, why would they put it in a promotial poster of potential update features?

I think when Salted said "Idk why everyone keeps talking to about swarms today specifically" it was more tongue in cheek

Then again though there are definitely some things on the list I don't see happening for a while so you could still be right.

[lavish bear]

Becasue it's popular

[little pebble]

Lol Just read Salted's message about that. Ok I'll take the L

[lavish bear]

Btw nether portal is now eh, a bit less of an option after latest

Since it happear that it will be on lutho?

[little pebble]

I mean something is gonna happen in Detlas though even if it's only an early game quest.

It could be a Red Herring but they have to at least do something with it to keep people engaged.

[little pebble]

So what do we think of this guy? @lavish bear

[stark lotus]

i sure do hope profs are revamped in 2.1

[languid aspen]

[little pebble]

Says the CT Member

[modern canyon]

you know... if we got the Nether, this could give us a lootrun for it

makes sense to be a seperate NPC change my mind

[little pebble]

I mean there really isn't a reason to have a different npc for something like that unless it's defferent in some way like throughout the lootrun you're slowly being corrupted and other players can kill you.

[indigo rain]

An entire new hotbar slot is insane

How will scroll cost work now? Death penalties??

Will soul point Regen stat on items just disappear?

[lavish bear]

Prob

[modern canyon]

question 2 is probably, question 1 is potential death rework and changing how scrolls function

[indigo rain]

maybe a certain cooldown on scrolling?
