Equipment abilities that are increased, if any, are done via the skills used, and/or the enchantments put on them. I think Mastery mainly just affecting Durability helps keep with the whole theme of a flatter power progression in the game, and the horizontal goals.

They did say they plan to reinstate the +1/+2/+3 when you enchant weapons, which should grant a little bit more to certain things as well. We'll just have to see how that gets interpretted.

There is a few problems with this however.

1. Any thing you give to enhance archers will be available to enhance magic archers as well, as you can freely mix and max skills in this game and it wouldn't make sense to lock archery skills just to longbows, as short bows can realistically do most things a longbowman can do (and would be better at things like stealth/evasion as shortbows are less cumbersome)

2. Better poison would affect other poison users, and poison was broken before, so they had to tone it down. They may have gone too far, and need to rebalance a little, but it wouldn't just affect archery.

3. As to the items needed for your t2 armor, Dragon Souls are much more common on Arborea, where they have more varieties of dragons, so Dragon Souls are going to become more common. Seer Stones come from Giants, specifically, Jotun drop them, and Jotun can be fairly easily beaten, especially by archers kiting in t1 equipment. That means that's not too difficult. Archers absolutely rule against Ogres, which drop the main ingredient for good Melee armor like Battlemage.

Movement abilities are going to be a massive tick for many builds, as well.

For the most part, Archers are okay, and magic archers actually practically slaughter in several situations. Choosing to use a longbow does lock you out of several options, but that's the tradeoff for using a longbow.

Hi @Junkie @OlivePit, a reply to the issues you brought up:

• Something went wrong with those last 3 Arboreus houses in the list for sure. It's not only prestige, there are more issues there. We are investigating and we're going to have them fixed in the next patch.
• Terra cities do require less space given that you don't need the whole military side. Overall you should be able to get enough prestige to reach rank 15 easily. I can see your city indeed has enough for rank 14 and you have only a little missing for rank 15.
• Farming plots snap in a different way indeed. They do so everywhere though, not only on Terra. As @OlivePit pointed out, this is done to have some walking space between each plot, but not as large as that between buildings.
• We are studying a solution for the abandoned private parcels issue. We agree that governors should be able to evict unwanted citizens in some way. Hopefully we can get this live in the next patch too.
• The occupied carpenter space is a mystery. There's no more carpenter entity there, and there has been one server restart already since we fixed the issue, so any leftover object in the server should be gone. This requires more investigation - we'll get to it ASAP, please have a bit more patience

1. It will become available to open. The crystals will finally be available. The gate still may not open right away.

2. They almost never give an exact day/time for a patch, unless it's like the Wipe. The patch will arrive when it gets here.

3. Races can mingle, they already answered, and with no additional malus added, that means free to live on each others' worlds, be citizens, etc. Currently though you're limited to 1 per accoint.
