Weapons ️

• All custom ore weapons now have 10 more damage above the other to space out the switch to a better ore. We also balanced everything accordingly, so PVP is now an option with custom ore armor as well! Other than that, we have also changed all the looks of all boss weapons to fit in with the theme of the server more. We have currently disabled all the wings cosmetics from the bosses and we plan to add new ones soon which match the server theme and are equippable in the armory.
  
  

  • NetherWorld's Flame :
    

    Maalik's Sword has been renamed to NetherWorld's Flame. It has a base attack damage of 60 with spread, and the max spread is 0.022 and 0.048 in each direction. (Spread means you can get a higher or lower range of a stat.) It has an attack speed of 1.6, just like normal swords in Minecraft, and its ability does 45x2 damage with a 10-second cooldown. It was designed to be a DPS build sword and will be upgradable for it in the future. It also has an extra stat of dodge 10%, allowing you to have a chance every 60 seconds to dodge an attack, helping the DPS builds.

  • Holy Axe :

    Type changed to an actual axe, meaning axe skins now work on it.

    It deals 180 damage with a spread of 0.01 and max spread of 0.015, with a 0.5 attack speed.

    It has a 30% chance to parry every 120 seconds, allowing you to completely negate your enemies' (including bosses) attacks and push them away.

    A new ability has been added: Chime of Holy Bells. It consumes 20 Mana, has a 60-second cooldown, and can heal your allies and yourself in a 15-block radius.

    Designed to be a heavy hitter healer Paladin item, and a lot of space has been left for future class updates and this ability.

  • Ethereal Sword : Now deals 180 damage with a 1 attack speed and its Cosmic Aid ability has been buffed to 1000 damage, with a reduced cooldown to 240s.

Armor ️

All armor was buffed and rebalanced. (You can look into the #announcements or our wiki to see how the new defense stat works.) We also balanced all armors according to the respective progression bosses. Amber has been balanced according to a boss we plan to add in the near future. We also added 2500 Durr to all armors to prevent easy breakage like before during boss fights.

• Reworked Defense Stats: All armor sets have been balanced with new defense stats.
  • Malachite: 60 Defense
  • Amber: 120 Defense
  • Ruby: 240 Defense
  • Jade: 360 Defense

Bosses

• Boss Damage Adjustments: Bosses' damage output has been optimized for their respective armor sets recommended.

  • Malachite - Maalik
  • Amber - Future Boss
  • Ruby - Holy Guardian
  • Jade - Void Monarch

• Boss HP Scaling: Bosses now scale their HP with the number of players fighting them.

  • Maalik: 16k HP, increases by 3,000 per player
  • Holy Guardian: 10k HP, increases by 7,500 per player
  • Void Monarch: 25k HP, increases by 10,000 per player

Enchantments Re-worked

• Disabled Enchants:

  • All Soul Related Enchants are disabled.
  • Immortal is disabled.
  • Ambit has been disabled due to performance issues.

• Updated Enchantments:

  • Beastslayer now works only for Swords. New scaling for damage is 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 for levels 1-4.
  • Barbarian is now exclusive to axes, with new scaling for damage: 7, 14, 21, 28 for levels 1-4.
  • Reseed: New CE that replants all crops, no matter the growth stage.

• Boss Fights: Bosses now deal more damage but have less HP, with shorter but more intensive fights. Boss fights scale dynamically with the number of players.

Replacements IMPORTANT

• Jade Armor Replacement: If you have a Jade set, remove your enchants, store it in a chest, and note down the coordinates for a ticket. You will receive a new set of Jade armor.
• Banknotes: All old Banknotes before 2/7/2025 are now disabled due to a dupe glitch. Open a ticket if you have legit old ones, and they will be replaced.

Thank you all for your patience and enjoy Dragon Shield!
