    July/August 2013 Version Updates - BG Wiki Update

    Never put one of these together for the July update, so I'm going to highlight stuff from both the July and August updates, and I'll post an addendum with late August information once that update occurs.


    Missions
    Both the July and first August update added new missions, together comprising the second chapter of the Adoulin storyline, "The Ancient Pact." Links to all the mission information can be found here:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:...oulin_Missions


    Areas
    The July version update focused on the addition several new areas to Adoulin, with all of the goodies that entails:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Yorcia_Weald
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Dho_Gates

    In addition to these wilderness areas, the Celennia Memorial Library was added, where pioneers can track their progress, research the wilderness of Ulbuka, and be rewarded for completing certain achievements:

    Coalitions
    Two additional standing ranks (Partner and Advisor) with assignments for the new areas were added to each Coalition:

    Between the July and August updates, each of the six Coalitions received four new ranks, complete with new Ionis buffs and coalition services. See the individual coalition pages for complete information:

    Reives
    New Reives were added for the new areas, including new Wildskeeper Reives facing off against the new, more powerful Naakuals, Yumcax and Hurkan:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Hurkan


    Mog Garden
    In July, the Mog Garden was added (and expanded with new services and ranks in August) and we have a nice collection of information started here but we could use some help adding all of the potential items for the various gathering points - so contribute!:

    Monstrosity
    The most significant content from the early August version update was the addition of the Monstrosity battle system where players can transform into a Monster (as a Monipulator) and battle against other monsters. We've started gathering information at the link below, but there's plenty more to be added, so help out your fellow players by adding what you can!

    New Job Artifact Armor
    In August, GEO and RUN artifact armor and their corresponding quests were added. The questlines begin with "For Whom the Bell Tolls" for Geomancers:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/For_Whom_the_Bell_Tolls

    ...and "Forging New Bonds" for Rune Fencers:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Forging_New_Bonds


    New/Updated Equipment
    The July version update was a bit light on equipment, mainly focusing on the addition of new Bayld weapons, JSE capes, and gear/weapons obtained from the newly added Naakuals. For a detailed list of all of the July update changes, including all of the items, check this link:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/July_2013...Update_Changes

    The August version update more than made up for that by going back and updating nearly every single item with a visible Item Level to have increased stats, as well as adding a bunch of new equipment for future Bayld exchange (from the Peacekeepers' Coalition), GEO and RUN artifact armor, plus all of the equipment (weapons and armor) for the upcoming Skirmish expansion later this month. For a detailed list of all of the August update changes, including all of the items, both new and adjusted, check this link:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/August_20...Update_Changes


    Item and Content Levels
    Speaking of Item Level, this new descriptor for new visible armor and weapons was added in the July version update to indicate the relative strength of equipment. The goal of this equipment is to continue vertical player stat at level 99, in order to allow us to take on more and more challenging foes:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Item_Level

    To go along with Item Level, each new piece of content will have a Content Level that falls within a range of difficulty designed for level 99 players, with the Item Level of obtainable equipment scaling up with the level of the content from which it is obtained:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Content_Level


    More to Come...
    I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but there's been a ton of stuff, and there's even more coming with the new Skirmish in just a few weeks. Stay tuned, and help us out by contributing!

    The late August update has happened, focusing almost exclusively on the addition of new Skirmishes to Yorcia Weald [U].

    Pages have been updated and created with the new information:

    Skirmish: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Skirmish
    Yorcia Weald (U): https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Yorcia_Weald_(U)

    Additional pages have been created for the armor and weapons that are obtainable with the new Skirmish, including information about the augmentation process and the possible augmentation values.

    Skirmish Armor: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Skirmish_Armor
    Skirmish Weapons: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Skirmish_Weapons

    Please help out by contributing on these two pages so we can fill in all of the ranges and possible augments for all of the armor and weapons.
