Patch 1.9.0 - New occupations and boss!

---

Warning!  Wednesday, servers will be down from 08:00 GMT to 10:00 GMT for the deployment of the new patch 1.9.0.



As you may already know, this patch is composed of two big additions to the game:



Eight new occupations:

• 
  Butcher (Prepare meat for consumption)
• 
  Magnetic cartographer (Create magical maps)
• 
  Florist (Make bouquets of medicinal flowers)
• 
  Larvester (Make fortifying Kitin larvae)
• 
  Toolmaker (Create special tools)
• 
  Scrollmaker (Create parchment and ink)
• 
  Water carrier (Prepare bottles of revitalizing water)
• 
  Medic (Manufacture healing kits)

Thanks to these new occupations, players can perform many new unpublished missions to get various regeneration items. These items will allow you to recover your HP, sap, stamina, concentration, etc. much faster, making it easier to hunt alone or in small groups in dangerous territories.



A new marauder boss "Dante the Teaser"



A new challenge for groups of players: Dante the Teaser appears on Atys and it'll be difficult to make him reveal all his secrets! You will have to confront a warrior who, even if he doesn't seem very brave, could well prove deadly with all his special strategies... Moreover, a rumor has already spread telling of a funny game in which Dante invites all of the New Lands homins to Fairhaven, soon... (Wednesday, 26 May at 19:00 GMT, in front of the stables) More...



We'll let you discover the rest by yourself!

I heard in chat today that there is a limit on how many occupations a toon can do?

Is that true?

So now a toon can not do everything?

oh well......................

Occupations

From Ryzom Wiki (http://en.ryzomnomnom.com/wiki/Occupations)

Spoiler alert: The following text contains spoilers.

Occupations are a type of job if you want, you can take.  An occupation from what is currently known, allows you to create all sorts of items, which mostly aid in helping regenerate an attribute of the player character.  At any given time you can not take on more than three occupations and there is a three day cool down before you can take another occupation.  In the event that you drop an occupation the grade you had in that occupation will be lost.

At the moment there are 8 occupations in game, and it seems 4 of them are much easier and take place mostly in the q50 regions, while the other 4 are much harder and involve going into the Kitin's Lair.  The easy ones are:  Florist, Toolmaker, Water Carrier, and Magnetic Cartographer.  The hard ones are:  Butcher, Medic, Scrollmaker, Larvester.

That's cool.

I figured we could only take one and was kinda pissed that my magnetic map job thingy also required that water job.

I can take both now yay!

I got an email because I tried the game briefly a long time ago, but was too busy with WoW and other stuff to really get into it. I figure now's as good a time as any to give this a fair shot, as I've got a good amount of free time at the moment, and not currently playing anything else. 

Almost done downloading... we'll see how this one goes.

I have been working on the Toolmaker missions, I need the Water carrier missions too.  Logged off 1/2 way through (due to RL, work and children) will see if it makes a difference or if the mission continues.

Just to add some more info:

now in the ingame web interface there is a full information section about all the Occupations, where the NPC are, the difficulty level of the Occupation, what special item it uses, what kind of missions you get from the master NPC and what will be the result of your jobs.

There is also a general information section with the basics about them.

I'm disappointed with the new occupations.

Unlike the rest of Ryzom's skill system - which potentially lets you learn everything - you're limited to three occupations.

And those occupations appear to differ wildly in usefulness.

Medic and toolmaker look useful, but larvester? How often does anyone need focus regen?

Florist and butcher enhance sap regen, but there's effectively only 1 magic school you can solo level, compared to..... well lots and lots and lots of fighting ones.

Surely they can see this?
