Consolidated list of Planet Partner VU's - Dec 07, 2016

15.11.0 Release Notes

• Fixed an issue causing items moved from Inventory to Storage not being placed correctly.
• Fixed an issue causing icons for quest dialogue items and Mothership Engineering Bay to disappear.

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

The following are changes that come with Planet Arkadia Update 2016.5. This information is provided, to the extent that the IFN and ACA are at liberty to discuss at this time. Log in today and check things out for yourself, to discover how the changes affect you!


Viceroy armor upgrades

You now have the opportunity to be able to upgrade your Viceroy Armor pieces. This will require that you obtain a very special item called Nanites. These little microscopic robots are all over Planet Arkadia and they are extremely evasive. There is no documented location, mined or creature drop that is recorded yet, so their whereabouts are unknown.

The new armor has the following stats once upgraded.

Durability: 3250
Impact: 16
Burn: 12
Cold: 9
Cut: 11
Stab: 11
Acid: 15

And the Set bonuses

3 Parts: 5 Percent Evade
5 Parts: 10 Percent Evade
7 Parts: 10 Percent Evade
7 Parts: 0.2 Percent Increased Critical Hit Chance

New Vehicle : The Sandrunner

Designed for the long distances across sandy terrains, the Sandrunner is made for those who explore the unknown reaches of any planet. Engineered to travel through the mightiest of storms, the Sandrunner has one flaw, it cannot travel over water due to the displacement of gravity below it. Somehow, the density of water seems to break the anti-gravity law and scientists are discovering new ways to expand this technology for better applied purposes.

The IFN have released this blueprint of the Sandrunner to the general public in the attempt at assisting in discovering more of the planet that has gone undocumented. for your convenience, you will be able to purchase the component blueprint from a local technician terminal.

Also note, that the Sandrunner comes in 3 models

- Sandrunner MKI
- Sandrunner MKII
- Sandrunner MKIII

New Resources Discovered

The Archelogical Society have discovered in an abandoned Smuggler crate, 4 new resources that have not yet been discovered in the past. The location for these are still to be discovered as no record indicated their whereabouts. If you have any information on their origins, please share the information with your fellow Arkadians.

Bismuth Fragment

Elemental bismuth may occur naturally, although its sulfide and oxide form important commercial ores, although it was often confused with lead and tin, which share some physical properties.

Bismuth Plating

Refined Bismuth is by far one of the most beautiful metal alloys with an unusually low toxicity for a heavy metal. Refined, it is one of the highest atomic mass element that is considered stable.

Bismuth Texture

Bismuth is a brittle metal with a white, silver-pink hue, often occurring in its native form, with an iridescent oxide tarnish showing many colors from yellow to blue. Simply beautiful.

Nanites

According to research, Nanites are microscopic size nanomachines that operate together to modify and alter the complete structure of any material. Considered an extremely rare resource.

There are three forms of Nanites to be discovered

- Adjusted Nanites
- Improved Nanites
- Modified Nanites


Terra Report
