Also, I want to ask for ideas here --> What would you expect Khamor'aans blade to have with regards to stats and level requirements etc?? List your chosen ones below!

Plus, the Shadow Miasma aura --> Again, what's your thoughts on what this should grant the player?? I'm currently thinking Cold and Slowing damage with maybe resistance reduction hmm..

+Vitality dmg, %Health reduction on hit and maybe % chance reduced resists for blade, vitality decay per second for the aura. I'm also for chance to fumble for aura as Croc. Or reduced physical/total damage. At least thats how imagine a wraith blade and aura 

Nice suggestions, Croc! I'll consider all of them. I'll definitely include a pet bonus hidden skill, +% evade is a good idea. Stun and slow too, it's always useful. I only hesitate abut the debuff, it can make you too powerful. Will think more about it. Maybe if it is a chance based...
I figured out how to make "devotion"skills not affected by +AllSkills items and buffs. The thing is, you can set how many skill points you get as quest reward for a certain skill.
I can make devotion like skills to be 3 tiers, 21 levels each, and from level 1-10 the skill gives the same bonus as level 1, 11-20 the bonus upgrades with 1 level, and at lvl 21 if gives the final bonus for legendary difficulty. So instead of making 3 separate records for 3 difficulties, each quest skill will need only 1 record. If i do this, it will open alot of space for new quest skills! When an NPC gives you upgrade to a quest skill, you will be given +10 skill points to that skill instead of 1. Good luck in getting +10 to all skills in another way to affect it, its impossible

Neat. One thing though, would player auras overwrite the light from the wisp or will it remain?

The light is attached to its mesh, so they won't. Most auras doesn't show on it, except casted buffs like herbal remedy. Btw, I changed the pic on my previous post to show better the light radius. It's not as big as lightbulb, because i like darker nights

New dye for the next version - you fight for the Order of Prometheus, why not wear their uniform?

For now it will be a quest reward somewhere.
An old variant of this skin was the first thing I posted in titanquest.net.

I split the topic to not spam the tutorial. Started the weapon animations today. Horse archery is done, I'll make the melees next. Btw, for anyone who wants to try combining animations, here is a tip - don't start animating the male first. I made this mistake and now I have to tweak most animations. Female is thinner and the mesh reacts differently, it easier for male mesh to copy female than the opposite.

Drafted some ideas for new weapon types:


Base Dmg - Physical / Elemental means % of base physical damage is converted, similar to piercing weapons.

New offhands (all use Shield Template):
Melee Offhands – Serve as shields with lower block and absorbtion, instead have a chance for additional damage. Dex/Str Requirements. Dual wield is not needed to use.
Quiver Offhands – Cannot block, add % attack speed and other bonuses to bow and thrown users. Dex requirements.
Magic Offhands – Cannot block, add % cast speed, energy regen and other bonuses to mage users. Int requirements. Work with staffs.

I bet the templates will send this idea also to the scrap, but I'll try to do it first.

Dammit! I thought I knew how to increase the bow range per level... and now when i tried it, it appears Projectile Name entry is set to Variable, instead of Array... again. Variable, Variable, Variable... whenever i try to do something original with the skills, i hit the wall of variables. Volley to increase number of projectiles per level? Sounds good right? But he game says "Nope". It's set to Variable, so you can place only a single number. I can place 3 or 5 or 7 but not 3;4;5;6;7. I don't get it... why these limits? I'm still increasing the range tho... New Marksmanship projectiles will hit on 30 meters instead of 20.
Anyway, im working on the 3rd revision of Artemis skill tree, to prepare the early alpha release. I think I need 3 masteries finished before the first testing begins. Three masteries, thats 3 classes if I'm not mistaken.

Alright, I as about to keep this a secret, but... what's the point? I want to show you something that I'm working on last two days.
One of my modding dreams has become reality, thanks to @koderkrazy :

Without his Bone Renamer tool this wouldn't be possible. Only 3 animations are done for now - run, idle and walk (replaces unarmed run). Took me half day to make the run one look decent, but I think it was worth it 
I won't post the tool here, that's up to koderkrazy.

If someone wants to test ingame, here is the early alpha:

Note: I split the topic to not spam the tutorial with offtopic.
