Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent!
Hey there, heroes!

This week, we're revisiting Warlic in Book 1! From visiting Warlic to the first time, to getting your egg, we've updated quests, added music, rewards, fixed typos, and more!

Warlic's Dragon Egg Saga quests have been updated! Here are some highlights!
  • Crossing the Line and Summoning Help now have drops!
  • Some of Warlic's quests and requests now give a one-time drop of 3000 Exp each, to help you get to level 12 before the Doomkitten fight (only accessible if you have not completed these quests yet).
  • The Doomkitten fight has been reworked and now has mechanics!
  • The path to Lymcrest and beyond are now blocked off until you save the town, as a result of the rampaging elementals.
  • Some of Warlic's dialogue has also been adjusted!
  • You can now freely change your dragon egg design!
  • And more!

Also this week, we have new cosmetic weapons available for sale from the DC Cosmetics shop!

The DragonBond weapons can be purchased for 400 Dragon Coins each! These cool weapons change their glow color to match your dragon's eye color.


Some other updates this week:
  • The BDToG finale's drops have been changed. It will now have a shop for you to get your reward, and instead drop a Defender's Medal with a chance at the cosmetics!
  • A new Artax cosmetic is now available for merge and drop.
  • The reward from Your Dragon at the Inn can now be merged with the BDToG reward!
  • Keybinds have been reworked behind the scenes for a future update. They should hopefully be working the same as before.
  • Except, opening quick sheets is now done with the O and P keys respectively.
  • Some trinkets have been properly pdated that were missed last week
  • Anything else I may have forgotten!

And that's all for this week!

Clearly the solution to DragonLord not being able to use the new trinket is to add Young Dragon as a growth stage (copium)

A few thoughts about the new release!
-DoomKitten is yet another boss that tutorializes game mechanics in conjunction with base class skills as they're unlocked, and acts like a final test of all the mechanics the player has learned up until this point. This is super clever design and I cannot give it higher praise.
-Warlic constantly flipping between his new (post-Storm War) art outside of quests and his old art inside the quests is pretty jarring. Unless there's some story flagging shenanigans going on and the old art (in the DNs image) actually is supposed be shown in the overworld here.
-The old, iconic Fiery Heart of Mt. Shining Star music being replaced is a CRIME. Alexandria burns

In addition to the above the drops in this and previous reimagineds explaining how stats work is also fantastic. Are there any plans to having the formulas shown for everything somewhere ingame at some point?
On a related note after beating up the kitten I wandered around the nearby overworld and walked into lymcrest, Doug Digg has some lines about Xan which might possibly be the most uncanon lines of all time
quote:

Doug Digg: A while ago there was a young human named Xan who lived here. He always had a talent for magic.
Doug Digg: He was always a pain...always actin' like he was better than those around him.
Doug Digg: Last I heard, he was settin' off for the magic school in Swordhaven. You don't think this pyromancer is the same Xan, do you?

Also Honda's Ex still doesnt seem to have its description.



Verlyrus -> RE: Friday, June 27th Design Notes: Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent! (6/28/2025 10:42:07)

Regarding warlic art- the new art only appears outside after he is resurrected after Storm War, I believe. EDIT: looks like it's not workin right, will poke it later.
Lymcrest and Digg Doug wasnt inside the scope of this week's revisit but we are very aware that Digg Doug's timeframe and Xan talk was and still is inconsistent with current and previous Xan lore.



Laeon val Observis -> RE: Friday, June 27th Design Notes: Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent! (6/29/2025 18:14:45)

Is it just me, or the "Esc" keybind is acting a bit weird?

Speaking of the Artax rewards, players may want to be careful in doing post-war DMs acquisition. Just encountered the PalaDragonLord as a rare wave.



Verlyrus -> RE: Friday, June 27th Design Notes: Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent! (6/29/2025 18:19:28)

How so re: the Esc keybind? Like I mentioned in the DNs, I basically reworked how keybinds were set up, so if Esc is having issues, some details on that would be helpful.



Laeon val Observis -> RE: Friday, June 27th Design Notes: Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent! (6/29/2025 18:25:25)

Does not close interfaces.



Verlyrus -> RE: Friday, June 27th Design Notes: Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent! (6/29/2025 18:34:15)

Fixed T and Esc keybinds, may req cache clear.



Laeon val Observis -> RE: Friday, June 27th Design Notes: Book 1 Revisited: Warlic's Tent! (6/29/2025 18:36:29)

Patch confirmed to work.
