- Titles -

Custom Titles

• Requesting a custom title is now fully automatic. Instead of waiting for an update, you will obtain your custom titles immediately.
• When requesting a new title, you will not receive an item that you open to earn the title. The title will be automatically rewarded to your character.

Faction Titles

• Faction leaders can request faction titles from the Custom Title Menu. You'll need to tick the 'Faction' check box if the title you're requesting is a faction title.
• Requirements for obtaining faction titles are as follows:
• Your guild must have at least 10 unique players online at any point in the past 2 weeks. You can check this number in the Guild Menu, next to the online player count. (Max: )
• For each 10 unique online players that your guild had in the previous two weeks, you can request 1 title per week. For example, if your maximum unique online player count in the last 2 weeks is 10, you can request 1 title per week. If it's 35, you can request 3 titles. And so on.
• Only the faction leader can request faction titles.
• Guild members can buy Faction titles from the Title Menu (the one where you choose your title, not the custom title menu). Press the 'Faction Titles' button to open a new window where you'll find a list of available titles.
• To buy a single title, you'll need a Faction Title Token, which can be bought at the Faction Manager for 3000 merit. There's no limit on buying faction titles, but you won't be able to buy the same title twice.
• When buying a title, you will not receive an item that you open to earn the title. The title will be automatically rewarded to your character.
• Faction titles will now disappear when leaving the faction. You will need to buy them again if you leave and rejoin the faction. This does not apply to the old faction titles.
• Old faction titles remain at the Faction Title NPC and can still be obtained there.

Rules for requesting custom titles remain the same. If you break any of them, the title will be permanently removed. For repeated offenses, you will be banned.

- Custom Weapons -

• Custom weapons have been retired. We now use a new system where the weapon item and its model are separate. This means that you can edit the name/name color/description/icon of the weapon item separately from its model.
• Old custom weapons have been converted to use the new system.
• If your custom weapon is missing, got changed, or does not work with the new features, make a post on helpdesk. It's possible that the system converting the weapons missed your weapon or destroyed it. Do not worry as I'll recover your weapon shortly.
• The Weapon board has been renamed to the Custom Model Board. This is where you'll be requesting custom models. More info can be found on the board.
• Custom model rules have been updated. Please read through them carefully. The board will open on Saturday, to give everyone time to prepare and read the rules.

- Custom Gear Inscriptions -

• You can now automatically change your gear's name, name color, description & icon from the in-game menus.
• The gears that support this are weapons and armors (including helmets and capes).
• The detailed guide is here: https://epicpw.com/index.php?topic=67049.0
• TL;DR:
• You buy a Gear Inscription item for 5 points + Gear Inscription stone for 40 points
• You choose the name, name color, description & icon in-game and bind it to the Gear Inscription item that you bought.
• You can preview all of this in game so there are no surprises.
• You can then bind the inscription item to armors & weapons.
• If you have a weapon/armor with custom name/color/description/icon and want to transfer or rewrite these, you buy a Gear Inscription item for 5 points and "extract" all of these from the weapon/armor to the item.
• You can then rewrite this item or bind it to other gear, effectively replacing old rewrites & transfers
• You can now fully customize your gear's name color instead of choosing from a predefined set of values.
• You can now reshape your custom armors and weapons.
• Engraving capes with custom inscriptions will make them lose these inscriptions. This might be changed in the future.

- Custom Gear Design -

• Custom Gear Design system allows you to trade & transfer custom weapon models directly, without needing assistance from the developer.
• The detailed guide is here: https://epicpw.com/index.php?topic=67044.0
• TL;DR:
• You request a Custom Model following the rules and guidelines in the Custom Model Board.
• Once the model is accepted and added to the game you receive a model key.
• You buy a Gear Design item for 5 points + Gear Design Stone for 100 points
• You can then use the model key provided to you to bind the model to the Gear Design item that you bought.
• You can then bind this Gear Design item to a weapon of your choosing, as long as it's compatible with the requested model.
• If you have a weapon with a custom model attached to it, you can buy a Gear Design item and extract the model into this item.
• You can then rewrite the model on this item for 1 rewrite stone, bind it to another weapon, or trade it with players.
• Each item/weapon displays the information of which model is attached to it, so players can preview the models before buying them.
• You can preview any custom model in the game by inserting its key into the Gear Design menu and pressing 'Preview'. You can get the key of any custom model from the description of the Gear Design item where the model is bound, or by pressing Shift when hovering over the weapon item (not the weapon itself) which contains this model.
• In the next patch you will be able to use models of non-custom weapons on your custom weapons. I will make a list of the keys for each weapon present in game. You will not need to make any special requests for this, you just need to copy the key and insert it in-game.

- Genie Swap -

• You can now "swap" two genies automatically instead of waiting for the developer to do it.
• To do so, open the EPW Hub menu, press 'Genie Swap' and drag genies into the slots.
• Swapping two genies exchanges their lucky points and base stats. For example, if you're transferring Zeal to Discipline, your total stat amount will change because these two genies have different base stat setups.
• Price for swapping the genies remains the same. Swapping genies where the lucky point difference is below 10 costs 1 Rewrite Stone, with the price increasing by 1 Rewrite stone for every 10 lucky points that differ between the genies.

- General -

• You will now be able to see your character's original weapon or weapon fashion when using Simple Elements.
• You can now revert your fixed gear back into Stardust Ore at your class's R8RR forge. The exchange does not include Radiant, Starlight & Ethereal stones, or other items you've used in making the gear.
• The Custom EPW Settings button will now lead to the EPW Hub Menu, where you can access all of the new features along with the Custom EPW Settings.
• I found a bug from long ago that made people disconnect in certain circumstances. I think it will fix the issue where people were disconnecting when editing large homesteads.

- Misc -

• Added custom weapons, custom titles & guild icons.
• If there's a problem with your custom weapon, let me know and I'll fix it shortly.
