- Our new horse and cart system has been added! You can now start a new quest to gather all the items required to make a horse and cart. Look for the quest giver near the Minoc stables. After hunting some skeletons and zombies in the graveyards and collecting a number of undead crystals, you will need to acquire the following items: 1 x Bridle, 1 x Cart, Bolts, and a Shrunken Percheron horse. You will most likely need to work with fellow players who have GM crafters that can help you make these items. Carpenters, Tinkerers, and Blacksmiths will be needed to craft all the parts.
You will also need the help of a GM tamer to track down a Percheron horse needed to pull the cart. Once acquired, you will need to find Luke the Wizard, a powerful Dimensional Reductionist, and have him shrink the horse for you. Luke can usually be found wondering around the Dungeons of Britannia. Afterward, return to the quest giver to receive your very own horse and cart.
New treasure has been added to the world, which can be obtained via fishing, mining, lumberjacking, and from world bosses. These include extremely large treasure chests and rare large mushrooms. You will need to use a horse and cart to move these items and seek out Luke the Wizard, who will move locations from time to time. He can shrink the treasure chests for you so you can access your treasure. You may also find extremely large Britannia crystals that will need shrinking. This is a new currency that can be used to buy items from Ben the Wizard in Britain. The items on this vendor will change from time to time.
When moving these large, heavy items in the carts, you will not be able to fast travel. The horse will not be able to enter portals, get on ships, recall, be summoned by a stable master, and will be left behind if the player uses their Hearthstone.
Horse and cart dyes can be fished up outside of towns but not inside dungeons or the deep sea.
We are planning to add some type of "Caravan System/Quests" in the near future where players can start a quest to move large heavy items for an NPC. A server-wide alert will be sent out when this quest has been started, and players will need to move the cart to a number of locations to complete the quest and receive payment.
