Development News!
Welcome to another anchor of the Odyssey Feed! I’ve been enjoying fall break, procrastinating, and, you guessed it, procrastinating more 
. Though not a ton of effort goes into this newspaper, my brain slaps it into the “Grueling Herculean task of Doom (
)” category.
Regardless, let’s get started!
The first thing we have to look at this week is actually a brand new Ancient Magic. This is called Scorch Magic. Scorch is one of the grand fire curses, a green fire that has high destruction. I suppose it now has an Ancient Magic variation, like many other curses 
.
I’m not exactly sure if this was a lost magic before, since I haven’t memorized that page… somehow.
Now, feast your eyes upon this…
That’s a lot of weapon changes 
! Definitely a buff to some weapons that may have needed it. For some others though, it’s nerf or nothing!
And since we finished up with waves, sharks, monsters, and whirlpools, we can move onto our second set of weapon skills!
Unfortunately, with this comes the even further delay of Fighting Styles. Reasonable, these skills will be a lot of work. He’s moved it beyond some other things too, however 
.
After the second weapon skills, we’ll have our level 50-100 weapons, then some new armor exclusive to Redwake and Frostmill!
Take a look for yourself on the trello!
Now, let’s look at the first weapon skill that belongs to the second set of weapon skills!
But we have our second skill for Light Bladed weapons, Spiraling Fury! For some reason, I immediately thought of a certain Smash Brothers Ultimate Up-B… I’m running out of brain power quickly, so pretend I made a hilarious pun 
.
According to patch notes, it shares similar movement and cooldown to grab attacks. Most likely, it will be a rush forward, but not exactly a grab.
Remember flooding from last time, and how you could swim in the flood water? I’ll let this image speak for itself.
Unfortunate, but understandable 
.
Here’s some rapid fire changes… Bullets and arrows are 75% slower underwater, and bullets make splash effects when hitting water, pairing with a new “Rapid Fire” start-up effect.
Now, let’s look at a few more trello changes!
First of all, Magic Sensing has been turned into Energy Sensing . The likely reason would be that using Magic Sensing as a non-magic build wouldn’t fit into lore possibly, and would give Magic Users an unfair advantage.
This may level the playing field, and look a bit nicer. It has also been said that Energy Sensing is a bit different with each build 
, possibly with aesthetics or functionality. Interesting!
It works in the same way, though, with pressing C and your power level. There’s a good amount of opportunity here!
There’s a bit of new text on the Awakening Card regarding the “Weapon Aura” of Warrior Builds 
…
Neato 
!
The Magic Sensing and Weapon Aura changes were found by @SpectreTheFox and publicly shown on a topic. Thank you!
Next up though, we have something a few people found not very favorable .
Hover… is now a lost spell. Though sad, it means we’re getting two new base spells, replacing Flight and Hover. It’s going to be really neat to see these implemented!
On the other hand, it means that Hover will still be obtainable as a lost spell. It’ll be a little bit harder to obtain, but worth it!
But we may already have a hint of what Hover’s replacement base spell will be…
Interesting! A rush/impact move using magic! That’ll be really cool in PvP, especially with yourself moving towards your point of aim. Turn yourself into a ballistic missile infused with magic… The possibilities are endless 
!
Here’s our next skill joining the roster of second weapon skills, Beast Instinct, a multi-hit move for Claw type weapons 
!
Then we have Tiger Rush, for Bladed type weapons! Then Shining Cycle, for Rapiers, Sword Draw: Mirrored River for Dual Bladed type weapons, Sword Draw: Mountain Wind for Heavy Bladed type weapons, and Flying Slash for Katana type weapons.
That’s a whole lot of skills!
And finally, we’re moving onto our climactic ending of this anchor, with a new visual leak!
(Can’t embed it with dropdown so click here 
!)
There’s definitely a ton to take in here 
. We feast our eyes upon another unfortunate circumstance which has once more occurred to Geno Arcturus, or our overlord Vetex.
We see him sail through a very heavy storm in his green-sailed Caravel. That is some very, very heavy rain. We can see lightning strike in the backdrop, as well.
However, this “peace” doesn’t last for long. A monstrous wave rises out of the sea! Compared to the unfortunate appearance and functionality that was Arcane Adventures waves, these are a gem to behold. They have stunning visuals!
Too stunning however, as Vetex can’t sail out of the way in time and the wave crashes down on him. It deals heavy damage to his boat, exactly 669 damage (nice ).
The ‘nami also rocks his boat like there’s no tomorrow 
, and temporarily sinks it under the sea level, giving it a flooded appearance, which is actually really neat.
We also see by the below image that Vetex has adapted a Warden Build (cough, cough). Probably not, it’s most likely just a testing thing .
That’s all for this anchor; I’m gonna go eat now :frhungry:!
Topic You Should See!
“Predict the Player Count of AO”
By @Yuuron
It’s been debated many times , but just how many players do you think will be playing at the time after-ish release 
? It’s an interesting question that has a lot of factors going into it. What’s your standpoint?
Art of the Anchor!
“AO Builds Series : KNIGHT”
By @Phewka
It’s been a while since i’ve taken a good look at Phewka’s art (Or has it ?), and this is a marvelous piece of art to start again. I may be wrong, but it seems this may turn into a series; I’m super looking forward to it. Not only is it stylish, it gives details on the build. Can’t wait for the next artsy rendition of an Arcane Odyssey build!
Writing of the Anchor!
“Part 3 of UT/AA Crossover”
By @anon61033893
Golurktime expands his detailed writing into a fabulous trilogy. A writer we’ve seen not much of and seems to have a lot of writing potential, with detailed wording and dialogue. The storyline is getting better, and we’re reaching a very intense climax between the Arcane Government, monsters, and literally everything and everybody else 
!
Here’s a Puzzle For You…
