Aldermere 0.3.6: Orb element specials, line of sight and node stock bars

Orbs#

Each element has its own special: Fireball (Fire), Glacial Spike (Ice), Sanctuary (Restoration), Exsanguinate (Blood). Arcane keeps Arcane Blast
Fireball: 70% of a Blast, 50% to NPCs within 2.5m, all set Burning. Fire auto-attacks stack Scorch (up to 5) for a bigger burn
Glacial Spike: 75% of a Blast, 2s freeze. Frozen targets take +15% damage. Ice auto-attacks slow 20% for 3s
Sanctuary: a circle at your feet heals every player in it for 100% of a Blast over 6s. 20s cooldown. Restoration overheal becomes a shield up to 10% max HP
Exsanguinate: costs 20% of your current HP, hits 110% and Blood Marks the target, so your hits on it heal you 30% for 8s. Blood orbs deal up to +20% as your HP drops
New tier IV (Magic 31) and V (Magic 41) orbs. Arcane Orb IV and V sold at Wizard's Wares
Wizard's Wares: Arcane Orb II 90 → 1,500, III 150 → 4,000
The Wizard in Alderwic enchants tier II+ orbs to Arcane, Fire, Ice or Restoration for 2,000 silver per tier. The right-click element swap is gone
Tier I Fire and Ice Orbs are now Arcane Orb I; open exchange offers for them were refunded

Walls, buildings, cliffs and hills now block attacks and spells. Arrows arc over low cover near you, not cover by the target
Hits land nearer their average: same mean, far fewer tiny or max rolls
Combat stats show your average hit, half the old max figure. Nothing got weaker
Status effects show above health bars: Scorch, Burning, Chilled, Frozen, Blood Mark, Bloodthirst
For 30s after login, travel or respawn, NPCs won't aggro you until you act

Reaver Captain wields Smokefang Daggers; his smoke-step Flurry opens with 2 sure crits
Possessed Hobgoblins use Bloodreap. The boss's Rearing Slam now heals it; its axe drops less often
Dark Witch now drops Blood Arcane Orb III and V alongside IV; all three are rare, V the rarest

Hover a spell in the Spellbook or Action Bar for a full card: cost, cooldown, range, effects, scaling and next rank

New Smokefang Daggers (Dexterity 21), a rare drop from the Reaver Captain. Smoke Step: vanish, reappear behind a target within 8m and Flurry, first strikes always crit
Possessed Goblin Axe: damage 225 → 300, penetration 113 → 150. Bloodreap: a Cleave that heals you 30% of damage dealt, then 30% lifesteal for 8s

Each bow needs its own Bowstring, spun from 1 fibre: Wool (Crafting 1) Birch, Hemp (11) Oak, Flax (21) Willow, Stinkreed (31) Swampwood, Toetoe (41) Maple, Sunthread (51) Moonwood
Bowstring is now Flax Bowstring; Fletching no longer makes it. The Fletcher sells Wool and Hemp only
Leather XP: Leather −50%, Hard Leather −29%, Troll −29%, Bear −24%, Swamp D'hide −19%, Green D'hide −13%
Fibre XP: Wool −50%, Hemp −28%, Flax −5%, Stinkreed +14%, Toetoe +30%, Sunthread +46%

Trees and rocks get a stock bar like fishing spots: about 5 gathers at your level empty one. No more 20% depletion roll
Empty nodes reopen in 15s (Birch, Copper, Tin, Crystal, Shrimp), 20s (Oak, Iron, River), 25s (Willow, Coal), 30s (Swampwood, Mithril), 35s (Maple, Ebony), 40s (Moonwood). Was 45s, fishing 60s
Gather times are steadier: one roll near the average, not a chance every tick
