***Update Time***

Quick update seems I just got a 50GB devkit update.
I also had reports of textures missing on some assets, this should now be fixed.
No new content as im still in the works of creating new assets and polishing up older assets.

Any bugs or anything like that be sure to let me know in my Discord then I can squash them.
Other than that, I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the new Conan update.

***Shameless self promotion***

Discord name has changed from lore_items_and_roleplay to EQ's Mods (Will make sense below).

If you're in the mod Discord you would of heard already but for those who do not know I am in the works of making a second mod, non fantasy, based around the Norse.
Currently I have a viking ship made and a Svard I am planning on adding more Norse inspired weapons, props and prefabs and thinking of doing them in different clan styles.

So if you're planning on running a non fantasy server or want to add something new to your server, swing by check it out.
I want to make it known I AM NOT STOPPING working on lore items and have lots planned for it even an extention mod.
I just dont want to keep making the same thing over and over and burn myself out and plus this will broaden what I can do creatively.

I have also started selling 3D weapon and decor assets on CGTrader and on Artstation ranging between $4-$10 each so if you have had your eyes on a 3D model in game (Non commissioned models) then check it out, links in the Discord.
If the weapon or decor you want is not listed feel free to dm me and we can do it direct or i'll put them on there for you.

Commissions are open so if you have had your eye on grabbing a slot dm more or ping me in the Discord.

***Thank you's***
As always I would like to thank my Patreon supporters and those who commission works from me, I truly do appreciate all of your support.
Thank you to everyone who are keeping me busy with all of your great suggestions!

***Update Time***

Adding 2 admin spawn weapons (These will only remain admin spawn until I can figure out what kind of aquatic race I want to bring in to the feats)

Ancient trident - spawn i.d - 301687095, This is a trident made of bronze with unique engravings.

Trident of the sea - spawn i.d - 301687096, This trident is silver with its own engravings, in the center the sphere glows blue and is said to sway and move with the tides of the sea.

Adding another weapon to the ELF FEAT.
This weapon has been commissioned from someone is just too humble and doesnt want a shoutout, i'll respect that but you're a legend either way, they could of had this weapon as an admin spawn just for them but they didnt want it, they wanted the whole community to have access to this.

Ravens Talon - spawn i.d - 301687094, I really enjoyed making this piece, it was such a fun build, I love helping bring someones imagination to life for the characters in the rp community, I did try something new with adding a gold and black damascus in the double fuller, the great supporter loved it and I hope you all do too.

Unfortunately there is nothing else to add, I have been busy with work and the models I have made still need some optimisation before I can bring them in to lore items, when the assets are ready you will have them <3

Thank you for those who have commissioned me, I really appreciate the support and these tough challenging weapons help me become a better 3D artist <3

2h sword - Shadowbane
Fans = Seishi
Black Ice Hammer = Avalanche
Lute = Melodia

Removed 1 weapon from the crafting pool - Fallen, I decided I wanted to bring my old character back, the weapon is still available as admin spawn so please feel free to use it on your servers to give to your community however you see fit, events, dungeons etc.

I am working on quite a few models for the community so expect them within the next couple of weeks, new foods, bed, rp placeables such as herb boxes and other shaman / doctor stuff to add to yours and everyones rp.

Got any ideas? Throw them in the lore items Discord.

***Update run for the hills!***

Nah im only joking, i've not broken anything *this time*
Some new things in for you.

2 new admin spawn weapons

- Whisper - 1H sword, commission weapon, thank you Dizzy for all your support!
- Elder Holstein - This is a personal weapon, because why not treat myself :D though feel free to spawn it in on other servers and have some fun with it, i've modelled it after the soul reaver sword.

2 new craftable weapons for the playerbase.

Eclipse - Elf daggers
Fallen - Tiefling 1h sword
Love how these weapons turned out, let me know what you think to them :D

2 new shields, YES I have entered new territory! I will be making more shields in the future too, I personally dont really use shields but I do like them on my characters back or on a wall to complete a look.
Both of these can be crafted like the normal weapons you're used to crafting.

IronBarricade - Dwarf.
Royal Guardian - Elf.

2 New decors.

Wooden Icebox - Exactly what it says on the tin, if you want a 200 storage icebox thats based on an old style icebox that will keep your food fresh then here is one for you, remember you need to put at least 1 ice in for it to work.

Wooden Basin - A wooden basin entirely for decor, so now you can rp washing up... you know that thing you avoid doing in real life, dont look at me like that, you know im right ;)

***IMPORTANT NOTE***
I have now removed the ability to make the CHAOS ESSENCE, after some thought I have decided I will keep the power to craft greater weapons in the admins hands, for now go do their fetch quests or events, however your amazing admins are handing out these weapons to you,
I hope you can see why I made this decision and agree with me here.

Update time.

Changes to weapon stats, you may need to recraft the weapons to get the new stats or speak to your server admins and see if they will swap an old one for a new one.
-2h sword 70 damage - 14 ap
-1h sword 64 damage - 12ap
-2h axe 74 damage - 12ap
-1h axe 68 damage - 11ap
-Spear (including staves)_ 70 damage - 14ap
-Daggers - 60 damage -12ap
-Bows (more coming in the future) 50 damage - 18ap
-Thrown weapons - 55 damage -15ap
-Admin weapons remain the same stats no changes there
Significant increases as ive been told a lot now that people love the looks of my weapons for their races and use them as skins but they just arent strong enough so hopefully this is a boost in the right direction, I still havent gone crazy I will keep an eye on it, test and adjust as needed, let me know what you think.

3 New admin spawn weapons

-Hex - Hammer based on my imagination of a Harley Quinn / Jinx mashup.
-Mushu - Dual axes thank you Milenko for commissioning these awesome looking pieces!
-Doombringer - Again thank you Milenko for commissioning this awesome sword!

I will be working on 3 big things for the next update
1- my commissions so if you're still waiting please bare with me I will get round to you.
2 - Locking race weapons feats, my intent here is to have an admin spawn scroll or something which admins can put in race kits which I see every server doing, this way your Tieflings will only be able to craft Tiefling weapons and so on with the other races, this should encourage trade and rp and it will stop everyone being able to make everything.
3 - Female model, for those of you who have voted in the monthly vote you will see I have made a start on my first game character this will also double up as the statue shrine that won the vote, once I have made this I will use that for the "good" races so they will be able to craft the greater weapons from that.
Once I have finished that statue I will start splitting the races between one of the two shrines so everyone will be able to make greater weapons but it will be a good ol grind to get there like the other popular mods.

As always I would like to thank my Patreon supporters and those who commission works from me, I truly do appreciate all of your support.

Hello all, its almost the weekend, JUST HANG IN THERE!

This update is so I can recompile and clear any issues that have come up since the Funcom 2.8 update, everything should be working smoothly after this, I have checked my materials and they seem to have stayed on the weapons this time around.
No new content has been added in this update, this is purely recompile and fix any issues.

Cyprian's Greataxe - This is a very special axe going to the winner from the Torment server.
If you didnt know already, Torment raised a substantial amount for the Able Gamers charity, the entire server pulled together not only with their wallets but as a community and im so proud of what they achieved so a massive pat on the back to the admin staff over there and the community as a whole, you should all be very proud of yourselves.

Here is the Able Gamers charity mission - Creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.

Here are a few snippets from their website.
People with disabilities are at a heightened risk of social isolation. However, AbleGamers knows that video games can be the perfect gateway to community participation, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable shared experiences.

The AbleGamers Foundation, also known as AbleGamers Charity, is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit public charity that aims to improve the overall quality of life for those with disabilities through the power of video games.
Video games allow individuals with disabilities to experience situations that may be difficult or limited in the real world, provide social networking opportunities to maintain mental and emotional health, and participate in one of the world?s largest pastimes.
---------
I would like to add a little more to that so please bare with me.

Covid19 has well, lets be frank, been shit for a lot of people, loneliness and Isolation, we have all experienced it in one form or the other over the past 2 years, but for some people the thoughts and feelings of isolation and loneliness has been a way of life for some people before covid and it will be the same long after covid is dead and gone.
The AbleGamers charity help those people, our fellow gamers find gaming communities, set up events, provide equipment and so much more regardless of age, disability and everything else to make sure those fellow gamers can enjoy the hobby we all know and love with likeminded people like you and me.

Hi all so the last update had me working on my very own sounds in UE4 for the first time, me and a lore items moderator saw that the sound from the Shrine of Chaos audio would travel quite far and would trigger as soon as you entered render distance of it, its not game breaking but could get annoying and I dont want to annoy people with my wonderful little creations so some UE4 guides and the help of YouTube I have played around with the sounds.

The sound will now Attenuate meaning the sound volume wont be at full volume no matter where you are from the asset.
I have used a logarithmic function on the audio, so the sound will change depending on your distance from the FleshReaver.
I have also worked with attenuation spatialization so the sound will work in 3D space. Basically if your right side is facing it you will hear it more in the right speaker.
The falloff has been greatly reduced so you wont be hearing it over the hills and far away, I think I have got it to a place where if you put it in your home you would be able to place it somewhere that if you wanted to you could hear it but also if you dont want to hear it you can still walk away be in your home and not constantly hear the looping audio until you go back to it.
Please bare with me while I continue to refine audio, it is definitely new territory for me.
I'm really excited to work in this new area and in the future along with making creatures, rigging, animating and doing sounds it opens a lot more possibilities for us with the mod :D
