⚔️PvP Events & Paragons

Hey again everyone! Here to notify you about more PvP tournaments this weekend and some general updates from the past week or so.

🤺BYOG PvP Events

@MrJoned will be holding more bring your own gear PvP events each day this weekend. These events times are visible on our calendar. This will include another 1v1 bracket tournament and some misc events like free-for-all fights.

If you want to participate in the 1v1 bracket tournament, please reach out to Jon in advance. This isn't required, but it will help him prepare the brackets in advance and schedule the matchups.

• 📅Event Dates: Saturday, June 28, 2025 11:00 AM PDT and Sunday, June 29, 2025 11:00 AM PDT

• 🏆Prizes: Badges of Valor and a free copy of the Sanguine Phial charm.

  • This is the charm awarded to the recent build contest winners and which will become generally available soon.

📝General Updates

⚔️PvP Balance

• The Film Reel charm no longer reduces spell cooldowns in PvP arenas.,

• The Aegis runic tome spell now has a 10 second cooldown and lasts 5 seconds in PvP arenas.,

✏️Miscellaneous

• The mcMMO archery, mace, and trident skills now grant far more experience.,

• Weather no longer resets from sleeping.

  • This was changed during the River Rush, but is a general change we're testing. Let us know what you think of it.

• The sell price of tropical fish has been increased dramatically (from 200 silver to 2000), but ones dropped by slain tropical fish are no longer sellable.

  • This is intended to buff tropical fish earned via fishing to the appropriate value relative to their rarity.

• All Valor quests will now have a 4-hour cooldown during rushes rather than just A Vexing Situation.,

• The Moments spell of the Runic Tome is now quieter and ages up animals faster.,

Looking forward to seeing everyone online for the Lucky Rush this weekend 🫶

⏫Rush Weekends & General Updates

Greetings everyone! It’s time to formally announce our Rush Weekends and give a few fun general updates!

Rush Weekends

Rush Weekends are a new permanent feature of Silver Springs. They run every weekend for the full 24 hours of Saturday and Sunday, in Pacific time. The first will begin this Saturday, June 21st.

Each rush activates a set of shared Core Bonuses to help you enjoy the weekend, as well as a random Wild Bonus from a list. Below are the Core Bonuses of each rush (every weekend!), as well as the Wild Bonus for the first rush this weekend - the River Rush!

✅Core Bonuses

• +25% to earned Trial Points, mcMMO XP, and Boardwalk tickets, and to rune drop rates

• The quest A Vexing Situation has only a 4-hour cooldown

• mcMMO diminishing returns cap at 0.5x XP instead of 0.25x

🐟Wild Bonus - River Rush!

• It’s not SSS without rain and community fishing! During this rush, rain lasts longer and you’ll hook fish a bit quicker.

General Updates

🧍Armor stands:

• Updated the Armor Stand Customizer which is accessed by sneak right clicking armor stands:

  • The smallness toggle has been replaced with +/- buttons to modify the armor stand's scale between 0.2x and 2x.

  • Added a "Swap Armor" button to swap all armor the armor stand is wearing with your own.

  • Added a lower interface with editable slots to control equipment. This lets you put anything in their slots, including the hand slots for ones with arms.

• Added ‘/rotate info’, which allows punching an armor stand to view all of its current rotations.

📖Runecrafting balance, largely in preparation for the PvP tournament this weekend:

• Reduced the PvP damage of the Avatar of Wardens sonic blast from 5 ❤ to 1.5 ❤.

• Reduced the damage of Gatling's additional arrows by 50%.

  • This is harsh, but we believe justified. It too quickly outscales options like Multishot, and some of its power comes from the sheer projectile count, which increases reliability and proc rates, so it doesn't need best-in-class damage within a few shots. It still scales into being the strongest DPS spread enchant.

• Halved the duration of Adrenaline Rush's reduced speed and gravity in PvP.

• Fixed Ice Aspect and Plague Aspect applying their effects even when the hit was blocked.

✏️For those who were interested in the design behind the Arcanum expansion, a large post detailing the process is available here: Designing Boundaries of the Arcanum

✨Added the ‘/paragon’ command for viewing info about the existing Paragon items.

🪲Fixed mcMMO XP diminishing returns going down to 0.05x instead of our intended 0.25x. mcMMO was bugged and ignoring our config for this field.

Thanks, friends! Please leave feedback for any of this in ⁠#💌feedback-and-suggestions as usual. 🫶

⚔️Contest Reminder, PvP Tournament, Paragons

Hey again everyone, hope you're well. We've got reminders and news about upcoming events and this map's awarded Paragons being distributed.

🪔Build Contest Reminder

Quick reminder that your build contest entries are due in less than 24 hours - submit them by Sunday, June 15, 2025 11:59 PM PST for them to be judged!

⚔️BYOG PvP Tournament

We're holding a “bring your own gear” PvP tournament next weekend, hosted by MrJoned . This event is also visible on our calendar. Most new content of course hasn't had much PvP testing, so we expect this to be a bit wacky. We'll aim to do a balance pass on some outliers this week, but please be pragmatic and just try to have fun!

• Tournament Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025 1:00 PM

• Prizes: TBD

✨Paragons

Starmarsh™ and ElectricSparx have officially received their Paragons, which I'm formally announcing here in an effort for the Paragons to be more well-known. These are unique items designed in partnership with each of them, though as usual with Paragons there's a possibility that a subdued version of one or both of these becomes generally available in the future (that's where the Runic Tome came from!)

• Following a spark of inspiration, @Starmarsh™ has engineered CoSMOS, a marvelous rebreather which can alchemically empower the wearer, mutating their physiology or injecting potions from provided reagents.,

• From deep within the Arcanum's now-corrupted lower shelves, @ElectricSparx has discovered the Eldritch Codex, a Runic Grimoire whose arcane script has been altered by the void, now casting an entirely alternate set of corrupted spells.

• We'll soon add a ‘/paragon’ command to view the existing Paragons in-game, for those curious.,

There have been other updates and bug fixes this week, though none worth taking up announcement space, and the other new content announced recently is still planned and underway. Thanks for your time and good luck completing your Shrine builds. ✌️
