Trivia / Wynncraft

• Author's Saving Throw:
  • Due to how some players found the minecart segment of The Canary Calls to be difficult, you are given the option to skip it if you fail enough times.
  • Prior to 2.0, Recipe for Disaster gave the player a book that had the coordinates for each ingredient they are tracking down listed on it, leading to the player having to stop and check the book every now and then for the coordinates. The 2.0 Update revamped it so you can set a beacon to track the ingredient you are currently searching for along with marking whether you obtained it or not.
  • Originally, The Hero of Gavel had a room that involved you (and Gurix assuming he's still alive) traversing across trapped tiles to reach a beacon(s) that will activate a teleporter to the other side of a chasm. The issue with this one part is that if Gurix is still alive, he will get bugged and repeatedly teleport to the player, even when the player is asking him to stay put. This would eventually culminate in him dying to a trap, sometimes to one he was nowhere near, thus making the quest impossible to complete without Gurix dying. In the 2.0 update, this entire section was changed to have a few enemies and an easy to do parkour segment.
  • Completing The Breaking Point for the first time rewards the player with an Ancient Dogun Crystal that can be used to unlock the Canyon Colossus raid. Any character that the player didn't complete the quest with can also use the gemstone (so long as they aren't an Ironman character) to unlock the raid without having to do the quest again.
  • The Misc. Bucket housing NPC added in the 2.0.2 update was designed with the express purpose of storing specific items that were clogging the player's bank, like quest (which cannot be dropped by normal means) and event items that were no longer needed.
  • The main focus of the 2.0.3 update was the reworking the lootrunning system. Prior to this update, all loot chests were serverside, so everyone was able to loot a chest as long as it was visible and other players could snipe you as you were trying to reach a Tier 3 or 4 chest. The update changes the chests to all be client-side and for their contents to be based on the last time you personally opened up the chest, and the chest's contents would be filled with more loot the longer it was left unchecked, meaning players could gain more loot from opening chests in obscure areas. This also led to a system being created that allowed you to gain perks and obtain better rewards for doing lootruns.
    • Besides this, the update replaced Lost Sanctuary, a dungeon which wasn't liked among the community, didn't make sense considering its placement on the map and had one of the worst bosses in terms of both gameplay and lore, with The Timelost Sanctum, which not only fit its location of being in Time Valley, but also sports a unique appearance to better set itself apart from other dungeons and reimagined the boss into something more interesting and consistent.
• Demand Overload: The release of the 2.0 update led to a massive influx of players. Said influx also led to long queue times with positions in the quadruple digits and the server having to be shut down for maintenance at least twice.
  • Frequent waits in queues were also common for the launch of 2.0.3, though not as long as 2.0’s waits were.
• He Also Did:
  • Wynncraft's creators got their start as Crafted Movie, a channel that produced short comedic Minecraft skits. However, there hasn't been anything new on the channel since July of 2015.
  • Wynncraft's Head Builder, Grian, was the primary set designer for CraftedMovie, and went on to play on Hermitcraft starting with Season 6.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The Mortal Mountain was supposed to be a dungeon located in the Canyon of the Lost, believed to fuse the four mini-dungeons that were introduced in the 1.14 update. The idea, along with the four mini-dungeons, were scrapped and the region eventually housed the Canyon Colossus raid.
  • Elphaba's death in A Journey Beyond would've involved her getting infested by Irritacks, to the point where she was fully aware of what was happening but couldn't do anything but scream as the infesting Irritacks ate her flesh that got mutated to the point of constantly regrowing all while putting the player in the position of Mercy Killing her. While there wasn't an exact reason for why this was cut, it's mostly believed that it was changed to getting Killed Offscreen because of how brutal it was.
