Camelot Patch 1.42 Goes Live

Mythic has brought DAoC up to version 1.42 earlier today, bringing several changes to the game, such as weapon effects, shapeshifting, bounty points, and the “dirty tricks”, “triple wield”, and climb abilities. Here’s a taste from the full notes:

Bounty points and stores have been added to Dark Age of Camelot. It works as follows: as you accrue Realm Points, you now accrue Bounty Points, which you can spend in special stores to get special magical items. Once you spend bounty points, they go away just like money does. There are three types: healing, stamina , and spell power healing. Please note that will will add more bounty store objects over time.

You may have a maximum number of bounty items based on your realm rank – i.e. one per Realm Rang. To use a bounty item, the item must be your level or lower – otherwise the item will not work for you.

To use the item, place it somewhere in your inventory (they do not have to be equipped). Then left click on the item to make a short cut to the item on your hot bar. After this to use simply click on the hot-bar icon. At that point the items spell will be cast and it will disappear. One bounty item may be used every 3 minutes of real time – you can use it while fighting, but you’ll have to exit out of combat mode and wait for your weapon timer to expire to do so (usually just a few seconds). Then click the item to “fire” its effect and re-enter combat.
