Hey, @everyone! For a while now I’ve been working on making the website more useful, with more ways to learn about the server, look things up, and plan your next build. Something to help both new and returning players. Somewhere along the way I decided to migrate to a new (faster?) host, that allows for MUCH more customization, and somewhat importantly, is free. But enough about that, let's go over what's new!
📖Custom Content Guides
You might remember the Custom Content Overview. It was one huge page with a table of contents at the top and you just scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. Well, it's been revamped! It now has SIX dedicated guides for our major content areas, titled: Runecrafting, Trials of Valor, Valor Shop & Rewards, Gem Socketing, Heirlooms, and a bit of a misc section, Vanilla Plus. You’ll find more thorough explanations, command shortcuts, and reference tables to help you get started or check something you’ve forgotten.
🔮The Runecrafting Hub
Some of you have been asking for something like this for a while. I couldn't really figure out the best way to do it before, but after migrating away from the old database, we've got much more customization, and I'm proud to announce... The Runecrafting Hub. The Hub includes five tools to help new and old players learn about our Runecrafted enchantments and plan, save, and share builds:
Lexicon: Search enchantments and filter by equipment, source, category, or rune. Check descriptions, recipes, and incompatibilities, with hover text explaining certain terms and effects at each level. This is the catch-all tool to show you every enchantment we have.
Equipment Guide: If you've ever wondered about what you could be using on your armor, weapons, or tool, now you can find out, with the Equipment Guide. Choose your selected piece of gear and browse the enchantments that are available.
Comparison: It's hard to choose sometimes, but with the Comparison tool, you can see enchantments side by side before deciding what to use.
Build Planner: Put together your enchantments and gems, check incompatibilities, and see what you’ll need. You can save and rename builds in your browser, or copy a share link to share one!
Rune Calculator: I honestly don't know if anyone will use this, but with the Calculator, if you know what enchantments you want, you can make a shopping list without having to put together a whole build.
Per request, regular vanilla enchantments are included alongside our custom and Enhanced vanilla enchantments, so you can plan more of your build in one place.
💎Valor Shop
On the Valor Shop & Rewards guide page, you'll find a Valor Shop Catalog. This catalog covers all of the items found in the Valor Shop, as well as a few found elsewhere, including some of the Trial Shop items. I plan on adding all of them eventually.
🗓️Rush Weekends & Events
The homepage now shows the active and upcoming Rush, with a countdown and times displayed in your timezone. Ongoing events (like Spooky Springs! Make sure you finish your builds!) will appear beside it, and the calendar now has the month view, with a daily breakdown, as well as an agenda view, to see the month broken down
📸Gallery
Please send me your screenshots here on Discord and I can get your photos uploaded to the gallery!
As always, if you find any typos or incorrect descriptions, please let me know. I recently finished updating every single enchantment, but the Valor Shop items could use a touch-up, and they're next. Feedback and suggestions are welcome! If you see any area you think needs work, please let me know, and what you think it needs!
