Will there be new crafting additions in the Stygian Abyss expansion other than Imbuing?
Yes. We have added new craftable furniture, house addons (such as a soulforge for Imbuing), weapons, armor, and other miscellaneous items (such as a musical instrument, a container, a painting, a sculpture, two different types of mirrors, etc.)
We’ve also extended the crafting system functionality for Masonry to allow for creating exceptional weapons and armor as well as enhancing or repairing them. We have created runic mallet and chisels, same colors and properties as their Blacksmithing counterparts. How players can acquire these new runic tools is still to be determined.
Glassblowing will have a couple weapons that can be crafted by players. They can also be exceptionally crafted and repaired
We are also currently working on an item alteration feature for some of the crafting menus that will allow a player to take Human or Elf weapons and armor and alter them into their Gargoyle equivalents. We will provide more details on this feature as well as the other crafting additions at a future date.

Will Magically Unraveling magic items with Imbuing work with a salvage bag, so we can magically unravel several items at once?
We will be adding a new Unravel Magic Item bag that will allow players to unravel multiple magic items at once. How this bag will be acquired by players is still to be determined.

Are SoT scrolls given to the person that gave the final blow to the monster killed or is just looting rights necessary?
The final blow does not matter. If it is determined that a monster will give a SoT, any player who did sufficient damage to earn looting rights has an equal chance of receiving that scroll.

If you leave the subserver during a champ spawn does your contribution reset?
You will not lose your spawn points if you leave the subserver during a spawn. However, if you are not back on the subserver before the Champion dies, you will have no chance of receiving the reward. As of Pub 58, all points earned will be wiped at the end of each spawn.

When champion spawn advances to new levels, does killing spawn from previous level help advance the current level further?
Yes. Killing any creature from any level linked to the currently active spawn will help advance the spawn further.

Is the champion in the Twisted Weald, Twaulo of the Glade, supposed to be spawning as a paragon?
Any creature in Ilshenar has the potential of becoming a Paragon. After reviewing the increased difficulty this represents, it has been decided to prevent champions (only) from becoming Paragons. This will be effective as of Publish 58.
