Seasons of Orbis

Seasons of Orbis 1.2.2 is out now! It adds three waves of Jack Skeletons and the new Jack Archers to the hard ride, between you and the Headless Horseman, and more of them rise while he fights.

Built for Update 7, and needs Ziggfreed's CommonLib 2.5.0 or newer and RPG Stations 1.1.1 or newer.

New

• Added skeleton waves to the hard ride. In place of the four Jack Skeletons at the fountain, three waves of three Jack Skeletons and two Jack Archers rise around it one after another, and the Horseman rides out only once the third is down. Beat them once and they stay beaten, even if he wipes your party.
• During the hard fight, another wave joins him each time he loses a fifth of his health. A wipe brings those back for your next try.
• Added the Jack Archer, a pumpkin-headed skeleton with a bow that keeps its distance and shoots. You only meet it in the hard ride's waves. It drops what a Jack Skeleton drops, pays Hallowed favor, and counts wherever a Jack Skeleton does: The Hollow Lantern's skeleton step, the Harvest Moon Hunt board job and the Almanac's skeleton tally. With MMO Skill Tree, it pays kill XP too.
• Added two Jack Skeleton jobs for Old Jack: Rattling Bones, a night job on his board, and Loose Bones, a night errand. Jack Archers count toward both.

Changes

• With MMO Mob Scaling 1.2.4 or newer installed, the Headless Horseman now grows with the level of his graveyard, the same as his Jack Skeletons, so a stronger group meets a tougher Horseman on both rides.
• Old Jack's shop, boards and quests now work wherever a server puts him, not only in the Forgotten Temple.
• Old Jack now sells Grave Candles once he counts you a Regular, and Burning Grave Candles once you're Trusted with him, up from Regular. Friends below the rank still follow your party in free.
• Grave Candles now cost 25 Hallow Sweets, up from 5, and Burning Grave Candles 75, up from 45.
• The hard ride now pays 120 Hallow Sweets for your first clear each day, up from 90, and his hard daily Claim pays 60, up from 40. His hard Hoard drops each Flaming Hallowed piece more often.
• The Fire Resistance Potion's tooltip now lists its effect and how long it lasts, like the game's own potions.
• Dying in the Headless Horseman's graveyard no longer drops any of your items. Your gear still loses some durability, as it does anywhere else.

Fixes

• Fixed the Headless Horseman's fight losing track of you at the graveyard's entrance end. His music and health bar now reach that far, and he turns back instead of chasing you into the entrance room.
• Fixed a thrown Lantern Bomb sometimes never disappearing.

For server owners

• To move Old Jack, give his placement a Where naming another world in mods/ziggfreedcommon/npc-placements.json. His shop, boards and quests go with him.

We'll see you in the graveyard!
