| Another Coat Of Pain, posted on Sat Oct 18 16:15:18 2025 | | Posted by: Kadath | | Category: Guilds | I've made a few adjustments relating to blade coatings in response to player feedback and my own monitoring and testing.
- All coatings will now last significantly longer than they previously did. The exact duration is determined by the coating's bonus (which has always been the case), but the increase across the board should be quite noticeable.
- The reduction in duration when bloat coating or [redacted] coating trigger their effect has been reduced, meaning the coating will last longer overall even with repeated activations.
- The extra line in a weapon's description about the coating's thickness has been adjusted to account for the updated coating durations. This means that a given description (e.g. "it has a thin layer of greasy black coating") is likely to indicate a longer duration than it did before this change.
- The gardens for each assassins guild specialisation (and one other useful area as well) have received extra care and attention from guild staff, increasing the variety of gatherable ingredients that can be found there. This should make it somewhat easier to assemble the necessary ingredients for several useful poisons (although each garden still has a different combination of available ingredients).
Enjoy!
