Bethlehem updates

I recommend new/low tier players take a God Scroll with them when fighting the boss in the quest! The health will be changed in a day or two when I push for a QOL ^_^ ❤️

Ho-Ho-Ho! Merry Christmas everyone! Today’s update brings out some awesome new Christmas festivities including Bethlehems very first custom quest, two new fashionable Christmas outfits and some new consumable items.

Important Achievements News

Guys, it’s not easy to own up to one’s own mistakes but unfortunately I made a decent mistake when releasing the achievements system. The achievements system was supposed to be something for all players to do during their adventure here on Bethlehem, progressively getting harder as the game went on. What this means is that each tier above easy was supposed to be locked for the player until the previous tier was fully completed, this was the intent from the start and was a key piece to the update that I regretfully forgot to white the logic for before the achievements system was released. In today’s update, this logic will be present in the game moving forwards meaning that players, new and old will be required to complete all the easy achievements to be able to start the medium achievements, and the same goes for having to complete all medium to start the hard achievements. Achievements will not be reset, as the rewards have already been given out and this would be unfair to everyone if we were all able to obtain the rewards again, but from here on out the rules above will apply to completing the achievements. I’m sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

For anyone that has previously completed the easy tier in full, you will not be able to progress without running this command “::checkcompleted”. This will effectively tick off the fact that you have completed the easy achievements already and you can progress on to medium. This should also unlock hard by default if anyone has completed Medium as well.

Apologies again, now let’s get on to the festivities!

Christmas Quest

To start our brand new Christmas Quest, talk to the very frantic and upset Santa at home as he needs your help!

I don’t want to give away too much here as the quest itself is pretty easy to follow and all parts can be completed by all players!

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated so let us know how we did 🙂

Gingerbread Point Zone

Once you complete this year's Christmas quest, you will gain access to the North Pole which is currently overrun by little Gingerbread Men. Kill the Gingerbread Men for points to spend in the Gingerbread Point Shop.

The amount of Christmas boxes you can buy from this shop is dependent on what tier of achievements you have completed, click “value” in the shop to see the totals per rank.

While using a Jester Scarf, Candy Cane Scythe, Scythe (i), Wreath Shield, Wreath (i) or Fat Santa Pet; you will get double points!

New Christmas Items

Elf Set - This funky little elf costume can be worn to get an extra 3% chance to receive legendary rewards from boxes
Grinchy Elf Set - Invented from a full set of Grinch & a full set of Elf, can be worn for an extra 10% chance to receive legendary rewards from boxes
Gingerbread Man - Can be consumed to give the player a small chance to find a Christmas Box while killing Titans
Gingerbread House - Invented from Gingerbread Front, Walls, Roof, Candy & 100 Gingerbread Men and can be consumed the same effect as above, but you keep the house (This may come in handy for future seasonal updates 😉 )

QOL & Bug Fixes

• Fixed “Unlock Titans” from counting NPC’s that didn’t actually unlock Titans
• Diglett & Electric Vorago now count properly on kill
• Fixed some custom zones being multi combat
• Fixed VIP 1 & 2 boss portals from allowing people in that had their 5 daily kills
• Fixed the guarantee upgrade from not being a guarantee
• Removed Zapdos from dungeoneering floor 2
• Fixed cache unzipping

1. Pokemon achievement now counts correctly

HALLOWEEN'S LAST HURRAH

For the next 24 hours only, Halloween Raids will give 3x Keys to all players per completion! On top of this, the rates on the rare+ rewards in the chest have been MORE THAN DOUBLED for this small window!

The NPC's at ::halloween will also drop their keys twice as often, and the chest there will grant Halloween boxes twice as often!

Get in quick while you can, because after the 24 hours this content will be once again locked to those that have completed their Pumpkin Capes & Divine Hades (Halloween Edition) capes.

1. Final fix to GoT 2 & 3 removing players for getting intended drops
2. Added a ::readboxscroll command to use your 10% Box Chance Scroll (Temporary until I can release a new client that supports left clicking the scroll directly).
3. Added a new Hard Pokemon achievement for a guaranteed Evolution stone (for those over 1k there will be new commands coming next week to count all your previous kills/completions etc so don't panic about having to do it all again)
4. VIP 5 global boss should now be fixed, to ensure it's working and to make up for the fact it's been down a lot the respawn timer has been cut in half to 15 minutes.
5. Evolution stones are now at least 40% more common to drop from doing the Pokemon raid
6. Fixed some achievements that weren't counting correctly
7. The auto ban system should be fixed for those completing achievements!

1. GoT 2 & 3 will no longer remove you for getting a drop
2. The 10% box chance scroll is now consumable instead of automatic
3. Fixed some achievement rewards
4. Removed Donator Mbox from Collection log for FFRaid

Hey lads, today’s update is short and sweet but hopefully brings a new life to some content throughout the game!

Achievements

Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone who gave us feedback on the beta Achievements, this really helped me flush out some bugs and make it the way we need it to be! Some of the existing achievements are the same, but the rewards have been reworked so all the current Achievements will be reset so everyone can claim the same new exciting rewards!

There are now 3 tiers of Achievements to complete; Easy, Medium & Hard. Each tier branches out to all sorts of content within Bethlehem to encourage players to try out all of these aspects. Along with these new achievements there are some new and really exciting rewards to help out all players along their journey.

The new rewards are currently restricted to Achievements only at this time, with the intent to add them into the game in more places over time and they also reside in the new “Scroll Box”.

DDR Scroll - With this scroll in your inventory, when you receive a drop from an NPC your scroll has a small chance of doubling the drop, whether it’s successful or not the scroll will be consumed when you receive a drop.

5% Upgrade Scroll - Consume this scroll to get a 5% boost to your upgrade chance

10% Raid Chance Scroll - With this item in your inventory, as you enter a raid the item will be removed from your inventory granting you the effect prior to the raid's completion. There is a warning attached to this though, if you die or teleport out early the effect will be lost to avoid this effect being stacked.

10% Box Chance Scroll - With this scroll in your inventory when opening a donator box and some chests you will receive an extra 10% chance at receiving a legendary reward. You can only use this scroll on the “Open” button, “Open All” will open your boxes without the boost.

Upgrade Guarantee Scroll - Consume this scroll for a once off 100% upgrade chance. Can be used to ensure the success of any item in the game, regardless of how rare it is.

Raid Guarantee Scroll - Consume this scroll for a once off 100% raid drop chance at Final Fantasy, Marvel, DBZ & Pokemon. The Pokemon guarantee is for the chest, not the raid itself. (Seasonal raids excluded; Halloween for example)

Box Guarantee Scroll - Consume this scroll for a once off 100% legendary reward from a set list of donation boxes. You can find this list of compatible boxes on the wiki once it has been updated.

DDR Scroll (Permanent) - With this scroll in your inventory, when you receive a drop from an NPC your scroll has a 1/5 chance of doubling the drop, this item will not be deleted regardless of failure or success and will remain on your account forever.

QOL & Bug Fixes

1. As mentioned, the F2P VIP 1 & 2 portals have been changed from accepting $1 Scroll > $1 Scroll (Untradeable) to help lower tier players.
2. Added a 70 second cooldown between leaving & re-entering a F2P VIP zone to avoid a bug that caused multiple scrolls to be consumed at once.
3. Fixed a Game of Thrones 2 & 3 item smuggling bug.
4. Adjusted the Halloween Chest rates to be more inviting! Shard packs are now easier to obtain & hitting the legendary roll gives you 10 packs instead of 1.
5. Adjusted some key messages from Pokemon/Halloween Raids

Old ::Halloween Returns!

Better late than never (the well known Bethlehem motto when it comes to seasonal updates, sorry guys I dropped the ball! 😂)

For the next 2 weeks players can return to the old ::halloween zone to farm the old bosses for keys like in previous years only this time; the keys are now stackable & the map has been cleaned up so no more pathing problems!

After 2 weeks both the ::halloween & ::halloweenraid will be restricted to those who grinded out the pumpkin / divine hades capes to access all year round, so get in quick while you can!

QOL

1. Fixed Halloween Raid Bugs
2. Fixed Grinch set message from being sent without wearing the Grinch Set
3. Fixed a bug that caused staff members to not be able to farm F2P VIP 4&5

Thank you all for the positive response behind the update, and we appreciate all the bug reports ❤️

As we have promised, we will be bringing in new seasonal content from now on, but as a group we decided that it will be building upon the old content instead of replacing it. Both the Halloween Box and the Halloween Shard Pack are available under New Items in: https://bethlehem.gamepayments.net

Other seasonal items have been removed.
