Smith Hold Updates!

(1/4) > >>

420:
Hey everyone, while the forums have been down I have added some new features to Smith Hold, the Dwarven city on Throbbleserv.

New expanded crafting system for Adamantine and Mithral Bars
- Buy some Adamantine and Mithral from Savage Henry at the Public Forge and head over to one of the forges to craft some new armor types or WEAPONS!! That's right, Bioware didn't bother making any weapons for Adamantine or Mithral crafting but now there are 14 total weapons that can be crafted at the forge.

New Gloves of Crafting available
- Not to saavy with the crafting eh? No worries, just come on over to "Othric's Leather Oddities" in the bazaar and pick up a pair of Gloves of Crafting!

Added even more Official Campaign items to stores
- In my ongoing search for cool magic items from the Official Campaign I have uncovered many fun items including weapons, armor, rings and amulets that appear only in the OC mods custom items menu. These items are now available from the various shops in Smith Hold.

Added Many New Books
- New books added to the Smith Hold Royal Library! Come read about the history of King Obould Many-Arrows, the legend of the Elder Eternal Evils and the doctrine of the Church of Waukeen.

Updated Mithril Golems
- Updated the Mithril Golems in the Target Range so their skills more closely match the skills of GodSpire dulers. Also fixed some attribute problems and adjusted the AC and saves of the Epic Mithril Golems. Added an "Undead Mithril Golem" so you can now test your undead-specific spells and special abilities!

Fixed Cure Spells
- Since Bioware is too lazy to fix the Cure spells, I did it for them. Cure spells now do Positive energy damage to undead instead of Negative energy. Stupid Bioware.

COMMING SOON:
Magical Item Crafting
- Add magical item properties to your weapons, armor of shield at the Public Forge!

Secret Store
- Get special items at the Secret Store, the only hard part is finding it...

Side Quests
- Simple, DM initiated side quests for players and one NPC mini-quest!

Smith Hold Updates FAQ v1.0
1. Why is the golem's name spelled Mithril and not Mithral?
- Don't ask!

Update 7/8/05

Smith Hold version 2.56

[attachmentid=458]

Public Forge open for buisiness!
You can now use the Public Forge to add magic properties to your favorite weapons, shields and armor! Make custom items without the toolset! Good for making both GodSpire compliant items as well as items for other servers/mods.

Lots of New Books!
In addition to two recent works by that renown bard Cuchulann, the legends of Toshio and Akiko and Chanclain and the Halfling, many new books have been added to all categories of the Royal Library. Subjects covering everything from Mystra's rules about time travel and the Deep Underdark to the "Thunderblessing" of the Dwarves and the origin of the Duegar. I won't even mention whats been added to the Tavern of Doors Library.

Creatures!
The DMs have a new tool! All those GodSpire creatures you know and loath can now be spawned in Smith Hold.

Secret Store!
The first of many "Secret Stores" has been implemented. It's the only place to get the really cool items! Secret Stores can only be accessed if specific conditions are met.

Tavern of Doors updates!
You may see some new NPCs you've never seen before, make sure you meet them all. You can ask Kii'kann the owner about any of the NPCs as long as you have entered the room they were in. A couple new mercants have arrived at the Tavern of Doors recently too.

Ask Ethias! (See above picture)
Ethias Fumesmith, one of the oldest residents of Smith Hold and a pillar of the community, would love to tell you about all the members of his clan. At the end of the day, when your muscles are sore and tired from the forge, walk across the street to the bathhouse, get a frothy ale from the dispenser and settle into the steamy water while old Uncle Ethias marvels you with stories of his clanmates.

Make sure you pay attention when Ethias tells you about the people of Smith Hold, there will be a quiz (with prizes) later.

Update 8/25/06

Smith Hold version 3.1

It's been awhile since I posted an update so some of these updates may not be new to you (like the 2 miniquests).

[attachmentid=908]
New Merchant in the Bazaar!
Come see the newest addition to the menagerie of folk plying their wares in Smith Hold's bazaar!

Miniquests
There are two miniquests (more to come) that can be assigned by any DM and a miniquest that you can get from new NPC in the Tavern of Doors.  He's hiding though so unless you got magic eyes it may be hard to spot him.

The Proving Grounds
You no longer need DMs around to summon monsters for you. If you can figure out a way to get to the far side of the chasm in the Target Range, you can go to the sacred practice arena of the Fumesmith Paladins called the Proving Grounds. You can select the type and number of creature you want to fight, and if the fight gets too tough, just unsummon them the same way you summoned them!

Smith Hold Library Expanded
At the request of Loremaster Bib, Smith Hold's royal library has been expanded to incorporate the many new books that he has recently added. Cuchulann has written a new book called The Tanners Daughter which can be found in the "Legends, Stories and Fairy Tales" bookshelf.

Prince Pip's Dwelling Expanded
The Prince recently sent for his adventuring equipment, treasure and trophies (which were in storage in Waterdeep for many years)  and the King has authorized for the Prince's quarters to be doubled in size to accommodate all the Prince's gear. Check out the Prince's memorabilia.

Planar Encyclopedia
This collection of books (near the bookshelf in the Tavern of Doors) contains information of many aspects of life on the planes. Anyone looking for information on an adventure that involves traveling the planes should find it useful.

Lots of Typos Fixed
Thanks to Throbble, Cuchulann and Elessar for their feedback on various typos in conversations and descriptions.

EDIT: oop forgot one

Big Metal Unit
The B.M.U. has been upgraded to mimic the spell immunity of a true golem. Should help anyone who has touble killing a certain very hungry Durzagon.

Update 8/31/06

Smith Hold version 3.2

1.68 Cloaks!
All the standard and custom cloaks have been updated in the stores and fully integrated into Smith Hold. Come by and see all your old friends (and foes) with their fancy new cloaks.

New Temple Services!
Father Edegar Phaestus has expanded the temple services to include restoring someones true appearance (which should be useful for those people who can't help sampling the Mad Alchemists brew). Phaestus can also now add the Holy Avenger item property to any weapon. The temple also now stocks blessed crossbow bolts.

Tattoos, Hooks, Pegs, Wings and Tails!
I know I mentioned this somewhere soon after the 1.67 patch but I haven't mentioned it here. Needles, in the Bazaar can add or remove tattoos, hooks and peg legs. Echidna in the Tavern of Doors can take care of all your wing and tail needs.

Customized Floating Candles!
Another thing I forgot to post here is the new customized floating candles created by Throbblefoot. Just buy candles from the "Candle Dispenser" near the fountain in the Bazaar and you can float them in almost every body of water in Smith Hold! When you float them they will bear you name to let everyone you were there.

Hadhodrond's Mercantile Renovated
The Hadhodronds decided to spiffy up their business a bit by adding some display items, come on by and see the new placeables.

Nearly a year has passed since the last update but I'm back to working on Smith Hold full time now so there will be more to come in the next few weeks.

Update 8/11/07

Smith Hold version 3.3

New Mini Quest!
As Throbble already hinted at in this thread there is a new DM-given mini quest. If you see me, Throbble or Cuchulann on make sure to drop by for the cool new adventure.

[attachmentid=1261]
New NPC!
The Fumesmith Hall kitchen now has a Royal Chef! Make sure you stop by for a chat and a scone. There is a rumor that a certain kobold loves Dwarven Scones.

New Area!
The demiplane known as The Farm (aka Newbie Correctional Center) has found a new home on ThrobbleServ. The only problem is finding it but at least one of Smith Hold's residents knows how to get there.

[attachmentid=1262]
Memorial to GodSpire
The portal to GodSpire has been deactivated and there is now a memorial where the portal used to be.

New Books
Two new books have been added to the royal library. Shadow Magic and the Shadow Weave explains the difference between the two types of magic and can be found on the Magic and Religions of Toril bookshelf. The history of Shadow Magic in the Realms can be found in the book Demarch's Folly located on the Famous People, Groups and Organizations shelf.

Bazaar Improvements
The crafted wand store and crafted potion store were renamed for clarification. A "sign" was added to the giant's stick store. A glow effect was added to highlight the sign pointing to the tattoo parlor.

AFK Improvements
The Altered Form Kit (A.F.K.) now erects a sign to more clearly indicate that a PC is AFK.

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements
Fixed problems with overlapping placeables flickering. If anyone sees this problem please tell me where and I'll fix.
