<p>BetaNotus: </p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> {{TOWN infobox<br /> | name = Serbule Keep<br /> | townimage=[[File:Serbule Fountain.jpeg|300px|]]<br /> | towndesc= A refuge for displaced elves, semi-retired Council officials, and amnesiac adventurers alike!<br /> | zone=[[Serbule]]<br /> }}<br /> {{Quote | source=[[Durstin Tallow]] |<br /> Wasn't too long ago that Serbule was just a little inn and a port, nothin' else. The elves that live in [[Sedgewick Forest]] would travel to the docks every month to get supplies from [[Verta]]. The goblin blockade put an end to that, though. Now there's not many customers at all.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Serbule Keep''' is a Council town established in the [[Serbule]] region. The town was created as an emergency refugee town for the Elves after the Elven City of [[Dwyndarre]] was destroyed. While most of the population is Elven, some Humans remain to act upon the wishes of the Council. Retired Praetor [[Nelson Ballard]] watches over the residents from the keep at the western end of town. [[Sir Coth]], the sheriff, attempts to maintain order.<br /> <br /> It is a typical Council town, constructed of mostly wooden buildings and surrounded by a stone wall. To meet deadlines, the [[Council Corps of Engineers]] cut corners, resulting in a destructive sewer system. The town is looped by a shallow moat which connects with a nearby lake, eventually reaching the ocean. Six guard towers stand watch over the town, and the former home of [[Lord Serbule]] takes up the Southern end of the town. Serbule has three gates, the main gate to the east, and secondary gates to the north and south.<br /> <br /> ==Points of Interest==<br /> <br /> ====Town Square====<br /> The home of the well, but also a good deal of merchants, a branch of the Council Bank, and citizens of Serbule Keep. There are often live musical performances, fireworks displays, and many more player-driven events happening here.<br /> <br /> ====The Well====<br /> The well in the town square. Water can be drawn from it if you have an empty bottle, but perhaps most importantly it serves as the most common meeting place for players. <br /> <br /> ==== The Chortling Beaver ==== <br /> [[Chortling Beaver|The Chortling Beaver]] is an inn maintained by [[Fainor]]. Often, groups of traveling adventurers will use the inn's main room as a meeting place. It is also host to a common [[Cooking]] fire and contains a podium on which poets from across the [[Council Lands]] develop their [[Oratory]] skills by reading poems.<br /> <br /> ====Mushrooms &amp; Jack====<br /> Sometimes up to six mushrooms patches can grow behind [[Mushroom Jack]]'s house, and around the big rock. These include Field Mushrooms (most common), Boletus Mushrooms and Blusher Mushrooms.<br /> <br /> ====Corner House (PVP Dungeon)====<br /> Once a cozy wooden home nestled in the corner of '''Serbule Keep''', this house seems to have been infested recently. The portal to the PVP dungeon lies in its back corner.<br /> <br /> ====Elsie, Bessie, Jammy and Wanda (cows)====<br /> The [[Cow_(Domesticated Animal)|cows]] can be miked once an hour, provided you have empty bottles in your inventory. Milk by itself is a weak power regeneration drink, but it is also used in [[Cooking]], [[Alchemy]], [[Mycology]], [[Cheesemaking]], and a couple of minor [[Lore]] recipes.<br /> <br /> ====Teaching Golem====<br /> The answer to the riddle is... {{Hint|&amp;#55;&amp;#53;}}.&lt;!-- html entities, hides the answer from the wiki search --&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Grindstone====<br /> Players can grind various seeds and grains by [[Milling]].<br /> <br /> == Lore ==<br /> The Duchy of Serbule was once ruled from [[Serbule Keep]] by [[Lord Serbule|James II, Duke of Serbule]], and his wife Caroline. After the rediscovery of [[Borghild]]'s entrance, Lord Serbule led an expedition into the dungeon which resulted in his death.<br /> == Region ==<br /> * [[Serbule]] - Lists the region the location is found in.<br /> <br /> == NPCs ==<br /> ===Friends===<br /> {{Columns|3|&lt;dpl&gt;<br /> category = Serbule Keep NPCs<br /> mode = unordered<br /> &lt;/dpl&gt;}}<br /> <br /> ===Foes===<br /> &lt;!-- A simple list of foes.

Various beings, including a now undead [[Mortimer]] poured forth from the portal. <br /> ; [[Halloween 2016]]<br /> : Yet again, one of the Magical Altars became corrupted, and released undead into the town.<br /> === Seasonal Gifting ===<br /> The citizens of [[Serbule Keep]] follow the traditional Council practice of gifting items to friends as a celebration of the birth of a new year.<br /> <br /> == Harvestables ==<br /> * Eggs<br /> * Milk (from cows)<br /> * Mushrooms<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * It is possible to jump over the wall next to [[Marna]]'s building.

Speak with one of those NPCs with whom you have sufficient favor, and complete a series of quests to become a Warden: [[The Sacred Grotto Password]], [[The External Resource Coordinator]], [[The Warden Test]], and [[Return to the Sacred Grotto]]. After completing these quests and speaking with Milton, the player must select the option in Milton's talk menu: &quot;I am up to speed&quot;, in order to become a warden.<br /> * [[Barnaby]] in the [[Sacred Grotto]] can uncap levels 51-60, and 61-70.<br /> * [[Backfat]] in the [[Fae Realm]] can uncap levels 71-80.<br /> * Levels 81-90 are unlocked by [[Big Footed Jim]] deep beneath [[Povus]].<br /> * Levels 91-100 are unlocked by [[Skitters]] at [[Statehelm]].<br /> * Prodigy levels are unlocked by [[Skitters]] at [[Statehelm]].<br /> <br /> == Connected Skills ==<br /> ===== Sub-Skills: =====<br /> * None<br /> ===== Secondary Skills: =====<br /> * [[Cow]], [[Deer]], [[Giant Bat]], [[Pig]], [[Rabbit]], [[Spirit Fox]] - These [[Beast Forms]] are all well-augmented by the [[Warden]] skill.<br /> <br /> ===== Related Skills: =====<br /> * [[Nature Appreciation]] - While [[Warden]]s seek to protect animal-kind, they retain a fondness for their natural environments.<br /> * [[Survival Instincts]] - This skill replaces [[Armor Patching]] for [[Beast Forms]], but has the advantage of needing no kits or other consumables.<br /> <br /> ===== Synergy Levels =====<br /> Bonus [[Synergy Levels]] for [[Warden]] can be obtained from the following skills and levels:<br /> :;[[Cow]]<br /> :: Level 38.<br /> :;[[Deer]]<br /> :: Level 41.<br /> :;[[Druid]]<br /> ::Level 32.<br /> :;[[Giant Bat]]<br /> :: Level 29<br /> :;[[Lycanthropy]]<br /> :: Level 32<br /> :;[[Nature Appreciation]]<br /> :: Level 35<br /> :;[[Pig]]<br /> :: Level 31<br /> :;[[Rabbit]]<br /> :: Level 32<br /> :;[[Spider]]<br /> :: Level 32<br /> :;[[Survival Instincts]]<br /> :: Level 32<br /> <br /> {{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/AbilityOverview}}<br /> <br /> {{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}}<br /> <br /> == {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==<br /> === Warden Alerts ===<br /> [[Warden]] members learn a [[Lore]] recipe called '''Check Active Warden Alerts'''. This recipe will show which NPC is offering a Warden Alert Quest at the moment of its casting. Warden Alert Quests usually require the killing of 12-15 specific creatures in the same zone as the NPC that offered the quest. Most of the Warden Alert Quests award Warden points, quest-giver favor, and also [[Vervadium]] in higher level zones. Each Warden Alert is active for a full day, so you can do them whenever you want, and there is no forced start time, unlike [[Druid]] Events. <br /> <br /> Warden points can be used to purchase skill upgrades in the [[Sacred Grotto]], as well as a number of useful animal-related items from [[Milton]].<br /> <br /> Warden Alerts do not penalize you for declining to participate in them, but a Warden must complete at least one Warden Alert per Moon Cycle or their Warden abilities will deactivate and require a ritual to reactivate. ('''Note''': This is the planned eventual behavior. At present, Warden abilities deactivation does not occur regardless of Warden Alert participation, and there is no 'reactivation' quest implemented yet. However, you may still wish to complete Warden Alerts in order to earn Warden points, favor, and other rewards.)<br /> ===== Warden Alert Quests =====<br /> &lt;dpl&gt;<br /> category = Quests/Warden Quests<br /> include = #Requirements, #Rewards<br /> table = class=&quot;wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&quot;, Requirements, Rewards<br /> reset = categories<br /> &lt;/dpl&gt;<br /> <br /> === Warden Reactivation Ritual ===<br /> The [[Warden]] Reactivation Ritual has not yet been implemented.

<p>BetaNotus: /* Everything Else */</p> <hr /> <div>==Voltronin' Update 9/3/2026==<br /> This update features the highly-requested merger of low-population servers, plus our first batch of Steam achievements, new UI screens, and more.<br /> <br /> ===Server Merge===<br /> During the game's launch we added new servers too quickly, which has left some servers with low populations that make finding a group difficult. But merging servers wasn't really an option available to us -- until now! In this update, the {{Server|Laeth}}, {{Server|Miraverre}}, {{Server|Strekios}}, and {{Server|Dreva}} servers have been combined into one. The new improved {{Server|Dreva}} server contains all of your characters from all of these worlds.<br /> <br /> If your characters were on Strekios, Miraverre, or Laeth, you may see the following changes:<br /> :- Your character name may have changed if that name was already in use on Dreva or another merged world<br /> ::- If this happens to you, you can pick a new name via a new &quot;Player Rename Golem&quot; in Serbule, standing next to the &quot;Account Package Golem&quot;. <br /> ::- This free rename credit expires after a year if not used<br /> :- Your guild name may have changed if that guild name was already in use on Dreva or another merged world<br /> :- To determine the new name, we generally just added &quot;of Laeth&quot;, &quot;of Miraverre&quot;, or &quot;of Strekios&quot; to the end of the guild name<br /> ::- There is currently no way to change guild names, so we recommend that you learn to love your new guild name<br /> ::- There may be a way to rename guilds in the future<br /> :- Your player-stall rental history is wiped -- your items still exist, but you don't have a stall rented. You can rent a stall in the usual way.<br /> ::- This is generally a benefit because it means stall costs will be at their cheapest, since you'll have no previous stall rentals to raise the cost.<br /> ::- If you don't want to open a stall, you can retrieve your shop items from Selphie in Serbule<br /> <br /> ===Extra (Temporary) Character Slots===<br /> If you had a lot of characters on the merged servers, they'll all live on the Dreva server now. This may mean you have more characters than you have character slots. To help you consolidate these characters, we'll be giving the Dreva server two extra character slots. These are temporary slots that will last 30-60 days. After that, excess characters will be inaccessible until you delete other characters (or get more character slots).<br /> <br /> When deleting a character, there is normally an increasing delay before the character &quot;really dies&quot;. We've minimized this delay for migrated characters: they only take the minimum time (1 hour) to be fully deleted, regardless of how many other characters you've deleted recently.<br /> <br /> ===Loading Screen Update===<br /> While loading, you will now see a randomly selected image from some location in the game world. Most of the time, it will be from the zone you are entering. But occasionally you'll be shown another spot of the world, and sometimes even an image specific to your current quest (if it's part of the main storyline).<br /> <br /> ===New Favor-Increased Screen===<br /> We've improved the Favor-Up screen for NPCs, making the new benefits much more obvious. Our hope is that this demystifies the NPC Favor system for newer players, and drives home the importance of improving your in-game relationships! It should also highlight specific NPCs as routes for making money, via regular reminders of how many councils they have available for selling to.<br /> <br /> ===Steam Achievements===<br /> We've added the first round of Steam achievements! Most of them are retroactive, so if your character already meets the requirements for one, you will receive it automatically upon first login. We plan to add a few dozen more achievements in future updates.<br /> <br /> ===Keelfip Is Back===<br /> The Statehelm dice game known as Keelflip is playable again! There is a new &quot;demoralization&quot; mechanic: if you lose too many times in an hour, you become demoralized and can't continue playing until your morale improves. You can lose a total of 5+(Gaming Skill Level / 5) times per hour.<br /> <br /> ===Everything Else===<br /> :- Updated vegetation in Ilmari, Ghost Ilmari, Eltibule, Serbule, Serbule Hills, Vidaria, and Povus<br /> :- having Situational Awareness active no longer lets you tab-select enemies that are only visible on the minimap. It was unintuitive and very confusing<br /> :- Spider Incubate 8-10: fixed bug that caused the spiders to be the same as Incubate 7 spiders<br /> :- Fix sound effects going max-volume for a moment when quitting out of the game<br /> :- Fix a plethora of holes in Vidaria<br /> :- Improve logic for your character disappearing when the camera gets close to them<br /> :- Improve shadow quality for shadows close to the camera<br /> :- New Graphics Setting: Shadow Quality!<br /> :- The following UI elements can now be locked: Casting Bar, Horse Anxiety Bar, Breath Bar, Angling Bar<br /> :- Improve vegetation pop-in in several zones<br /> :- Adjust lighting in the Casino<br /> :- Adjust size of icon 3910<br /> :- Add extra logging during humanoid appearance creation to help track down sneaky bugs<br /> :- Fix screenshot button, for normal-res screenshots. High-res were still working<br /> :- Screenshots now include post-processing<br /> :- Improve quality of Vidaria distant terrains<br /> :- The tower in Vidaria now glows lightly red<br /> :- Percussa now holds her drum when playing it<br /> :- localize item effect description array entries<br /> :- fixed an incorrect daily tip, added a few more daily tips<br /> :- added the Player Rename Golem to Serbule (standing aside the Account Package Golem).<br /> :- Add new favor-up screen for NPCs, which displays all unlocks obtained at each favor level<br /> :- Crafting UI: a popup warning is shown before you destroy an important piece of equipment<br /> :- Eveline Rastin now buys Cloth Armor and Artwork<br /> :- Felmer now buys Cloth Armor and Artwork<br /> :- Laura Neth now buys Dairy Dishes<br /> :- Syndra now buys Skins<br /> :- Brianna Willer now buys items at Despised and above, rather than only Comfortable and above<br /> :- Fix for portals and some UI elements being blurry or low-res<br /> :- Situate Serbule lamps on the ground<br /> :- Fix visual and collider for &quot;Proclamation&quot; in Serbule<br /> :- added new difficult favors for Michael Irasce<br /> :- more client UI localization <br /> :- increase max length of guild daily messages from 255 to 500 characters<br /> :- fixed which quest that &quot;Salmpo Spleen&quot; quest item was attached to<br /> :- Angling: Catch and Release: now earns +33% XP instead of +25% XP<br /> :- Angling: the game now tells you when you made no mistakes and have a &quot;Perfect Catch!&quot; There are no benefits for a Perfect Catch right now, but someday [very soon] it will be a trigger for other things<br /> :- When you examine a player, it now lists their former character names, if any. These name-changes stop being displayed when they're more than a year old<br /> <br /> '''[[Game updates|Click here to return to the Game Updates page.]]'''<br /> [[Category:Game updates]]</div>
