Here is another idea.
Background short story:
Vesper sea explorers discover a new place somewhere in the east and they will not reveal the location since is their new trade spot. The new area is the Orient.
In order to reach this place you must pay 200k to an explorer that will transport you there.
Areas:
Orient area is an unknow place located in trammel and felucca with 2 main towns:
- Oriental Dock City:
This town is reached by paying the vesper explorers.
Is the only place in the whole new are where you can mark runes.
Here you can find 2 kind of vendors:
* Occidental vendors: allows you to buy/sell things as usual. Special: the water pitchers price is 50k per.
* Oriental vendors: you can buy sell from oriental vendors only if you have used the book: "Knowledge of the Orient: Oriental languages". This vendors uses water pitchers instead of gold to buy/sell things.
- The Oriental Capital:
To reach this town you must cross the desert.
You can't mark runes in here.
Only oriental vendors are available here.
- The Cursed Desert
This desert has been cursed by an evil and extremely powerfull deamon hundreds of years ago.
Entering this place put you in extreme danger because this place is a labyrinth. The path you can walk change every hour and you can be lost forever. Recall, Mark, teleport, gate travel doesn't work in here.
When you enter the dersert, a new buff will activate: Thirst
The thirst is made by 4 level:
* Thirst Level 1: you are ok, every time you drink from a pitcher of water will grants 30 more seconds to the level 1. 1 pitcher of water = 10 minutes. When the time is over you reach level 2.
* Thirst Level 2: you are thirsty! your stamina regeneration is set to 0 and you can't run anymore. This level last for 5 minutes before reach level 3.
* Thirst Level 3: you are extremely thirsty! your stamina regeneration is set to 0 and you lose 10 stamina every 5 seconds. You can't run anymore. This effect last for 2 minutes before reach the level 4.
* Thirst Level 4: you are dying! your stamina and stamina regeneration is set to 0 and your hps is decreasing 20 by 20 until you die.
Dressing a cloth with thirst resistance, will increase the time by the indicated percentage.
Die in the desert
Due to the desert curse, if you die an undead version of you will raise. In order to get your items back you must kill it.
Traveling through the desert
- Ethereal mount can't cross the desert due to the curse.
- Gargoyles can't fly: the sun is too hot to fly through this area.
- You can't ride since is too hot for your pet too keep you riding it.
- Every pet has the thirsty buff and must give some water to them in order to prevents their dead.
A message "<name> looks thirsty" appears over the pet head when the level 2 start.
A message "<name> looks very thirsty" appears over the pet head when the level 3 start.
A message "<name> is dying" appears over the pet head when the level 4 start.
Sometimes in the desert you can find one of the new encounters.
A quest: "The Gipsy Caravan" from the dock town allows you to cross the desert instantly.
The quest requires to escort the caravan through the desert (a teleport from dock town to the capital), but there is a 50% chance to fail it.
If the quest fail you find yourself in the middle of the desert attacked by one of the new encounters.
