Beta 0.18.0 - Skilling Affixes and More

20 December 2023	Beta 0.18.0	Skilling Affixes, Combat Balance, UI Overhaul, and More

Fixed Dwarven Engineering always proccing. Only one XP type is displayed in Affixing UI. Fixed Marketplace Buy Offer UI Crash. Skilling Affixes Gathering and Production Affixes are now available in Season 1 and Season 1 Ironman! ~70 new Affixes added, ranging from stat boosts to new mechanics. Experience gained from Affixing now scales with the dust used. Affix Tab now separates items by rarity, making it clearer which item requires which dust type. Added new recipe to craft Prime Runic Dust (reduces Mithril Bar usage). Balance Changes Combat has been rebalanced: Most monsters are weaker to their intended combat style but stronger against off-styles. Gear off-style affinity floor increased from 0.1 to 0.75, making most weapons better at off-style casting. E.g., bows previously had -90% melee affinity, now -25%. You can now punch with a bow. It’s still bad, but possible. Golem Ring now simply brings negative affinities closer to neutral by 10%. Defense XP formula reworked: Now gained from attacking enemies. More XP from attacking defensive enemies. More XP from defending yourself. Inferno (now available via affixes) no longer has a scaling cap—now caps at 5 consecutive procs. Legendary Tools cannot be augmented past +1 unless Soulbound. Soulbinding at any level does not remove existing augment levels. Once Soulbound, they cannot be unsoulbound (forever together ❤️). Rarity of multiple items adjusted for consistency. Maximum Dungeon Augment increased from +10 to +20 (good luck!). UI Changes Advanced Combat Item Log fully replaced the old log (setting removed).

Numerous UI tweaks across the frontend for better user experience. Augmenting Overhaul Augmenting UI completely rewritten for better usability. Augmentable Items now appear directly in the Augmenting Tab instead of needing to be moved manually. Click to select quantity or drag entire stack into queue. On mobile, hold the item for half a second to start dragging. Shift+Click moves exactly one item. Preview Augmentation costs and stats by hovering over queued items. Failed Augments now crumble, explode, or do weird stuff instead of just vanishing. Fixed a bug that allowed reducing Augmentation time. Other Changes You can move bait to the front of the Tacklebox again. Minor tweaks to in-game guides. Catching a Snowball now gives the item to the catcher instead of the thrower. Fixed Alchemy bug where ingredient order affected enchantment priority. Now always selects the highest total Alchemy Size enchantment. (Yes, this is an indirect nerf to Alchemy 😢). Deadliest Catch now works as intended. Technical Changes Reduced data traffic between client and server. Numerous minor UI changes to help User Scripts. Minimum time per action reduced from 500ms to 250ms (important for Gathering Affixes). Complete rewrites of multiple skills to support Affixes. Extensive private/local testing was conducted, but some edge cases may still arise. "There’s so much in this update I physically cannot bring myself to listing it all. halp" -Nick "I got you. np np" -Ice Up Next Upcoming general balance pass + additional content where needed. Potential new Skilling Sets. More Combat Style parity—adjustments to gear progression across styles.

Completely rewrote auto-stacking in inventories (Autovault/Autotacklebox) to fix cases where items were not properly added to inventory.

The Mining and Foraging modules are currently being cleaned up, with ~400 lines of redundant/duplicate code removed per skill. Once all skill modules are converted and tested, we can begin implementing relevant Affix effects. This process will realistically take 2-3 weeks.

0.17.4a Gold Ore removed from Lava Maze monsters and replaced by Burnt Fish (last patch, forgot to post it).

Fixed various Marketplace bugs. Balance Changes The Crafting XP Rebalance is now live, making XP gain more consistent across the board.

Beta 0.17.0 - Season 1 Launch

17 October 2023	Beta 0.17.0	Affixes, User Action Queue Improvements, and Season 1 Launch
0.17.0c Fix master hiscore XP display. Moved XP into the panel in affixes. Elite Damage multiplier affix now has 5 specific slots to roll on instead of being generic. Cooking available attempts now also considers heat. Loadouts are now affix-aware (you must remake and resave affixed loadouts each time you reroll). number.toLocalString now uses 'en-us' formatting. Fixed issue with pre-season chat having the same channel ID as Season 1, causing some channel joining issues. Fixed unintentional negative affixes in multipliers. Fixed node issues in foraging with enchantments. User Defined Action Queue Handling Changes Massive rework— if an action fails, it will now skip to the next one. Example: Queue 1 hour of mining followed by 30 minutes of smithing. If smithing runs out of materials, it will return to mining instead of idling. The queue runs until the offline timer expires or indefinitely while online. This makes the action queue far more useful. 0.17.0b Runic Dust and Gear Scraps are now tradeable. Format changes from last patch applied to legacy tooltips. Improved logging for some bugs. Resolved race conditions when consuming dungeon/elite keys (should fix erroneous key consumption). Dust drops added to all scrolls and dungeons: All rarities can drop from all scrolls/dungeons. Base drop rates: 50% / common, 40% / uncommon, 30% / rare, 20% / epic, 10% / legendary. Amount of dust dropped scales with dungeon difficulty. Fixed rounding issue with max health and some affixes. Fixed affinity bonus not applying with some affixes. 0.17.0a Runecrafting stacks only consumed while Runecrafting, not weaving. Fixed cases where affixes may be lost (e.g., soulbinding/transforms). Slowmode properly works in seasonal trade channel. Fixed chat channel joining issues. All affixes should be implemented correctly. Updated affix tooltip readability. Runecrafting category added to crafting. Season 1 Launch Season 1 will be live on October 17th, 2023, at 3PM UTC and end on February 1st, 2024. Two modes: Standard (marketplace enabled) and Ironman (not NGIM). Features accelerated XP progression and Affixes. What Are Affixes? Affixes are modifiers similar to enchantments that apply stat boosts or chance-based effects to equipment. Currently focused on combat, with other affixes planned. Around 80 affixes exist, from common stat boosts to legendary effects (e.g., passive life steal, damage reflect). How Do We Get Affixes? Applied in the Runecrafting tab using Runic Dust. Affix strength scales with item rarity. Runic Dust sources: Combat (produces ~10% of the dust compared to other methods). Gathering/processing (primary source for targeted dust generation). What If I Don't Like an Affix? You can reroll affix strength, but changing the affix itself requires a new item. Unwanted items can be salvaged into Gear Scraps, which are used for rerolling. Everything Else Added assets for the Lumberjack Set and Camo Cloak. Fixed a plethora of UI issues. Adjusted item rarities. Improved handling for chat channels (default channels are now more robust). Introduced league/season-specific trade channels (primarily for the default league and Season 1 marketplace-enabled mode). Rewrote the character online counter to properly account for NGIM and seasonal modes. Changed Platinum buff pricing— you now get twice the buff duration per plat spent. Fixed Runecrafting buff stack consumption. What's Next? Now that Season 1 work is mostly complete, focus will shift to fixes and tweaks for existing content. Ongoing support for affixes and new seasonal mechanics/content throughout the season. Stay tuned for announcements!

Beta 0.16.1 - Season 1 Soon™

11 October 2023	Beta 0.16.1	Season 1 Delay, Bug Fixes, and Backend Improvements
When Season 1??? While Season 1 is technically ready, initial feedback suggested it needs more polish and balancing before a full release. Adjustments are being made, and Season 1 will now launch next Tuesday. Season 1 will run until February 1st and serve as the primary testbed for potential polarizing features before deciding if they will be added to the main leagues or remain exclusive to seasons. Bug Fixes Torn Banner can now properly drop. Potential fixes for some flickering issues in Firefox. Loot log string placeholder fixes. Character count coloration fixes. Navigation links now supported in system messages. Rebalanced and fixed Dwarven Forge issues, added refining proc to UI. Fixed Runecrafting Dwarven/Elven output mistakenly changing.

Event Token Conversion Players will not receive Event Tokens automatically; you must execute /convertSeasonal CHARACTER_NAME. Whichever character executes the command will receive the tokens. Exchange rate: Total Level * 15 + Mastery Level * 30. Your seasonal character will be deleted on conversion, but stats are backed up for potential future hiscore restoration. If you delete the character manually, you will lose your tokens. New Items Blademaster's Shroud - Dark Fort drop - Melee DPS cape with a full set of enhanced auto attacks and an AOE ability. Royal Banner - Dark Fort drop - Support/Tank cape with helpful group abilities. Necromancer's Set - Barrows drop - A 5-item Magic DPS set with its own powerful set effect and abilities.

Marketplace listings should now be deleted properly when deleting a character. Fixes for unintended combat edge cases. Fix pings in whispers. Shrine refreshes at 1500 on Fridays instead of 0000 (server time). Total mastery XP calculation fixes. Mercenaries were inadvertently reducing their own stats.

Various fixes to Combat UI. Various fixes to chat UI. /throw message tweaks. Item gain/loss animation tweaks. Lots of various improved assets and CSS tweaks from Ice/Silent.

Beta 0.15.0 - Buy Orders / Action Queueing

20 September 2023	Beta 0.15.0	New Marketplace Features, Action Queueing, and UI Improvements
0.15.0b Crit works now— all crit gear is massively better due to a bug fix that prevented crit damage from applying even when a crit was rolled. Vastly improved the buy order UI to what it was supposed to launch with originally. Various Combat UI tweaks + fixes from Silent. 0.15.0a A few bug fixes that snuck in with the emergency maintenance that launched 0.15.0 originally. Buy Orders Buy Orders are now available! Create a buy order by going to an item's marketplace page and clicking the "BUY ORDER" button in the top left. Specify how many of an item you want, the most you're willing to pay per item, and optional filters for augmentation level, enchantment, and enchantment strength. Orders will purchase every listing under the max price, starting from the cheapest and oldest first. User Defined Action Queues IS+ subscribers (or those who purchase the relevant tokens) can now define a specific action queue pattern. By default, IS+ members can specify up to 3 different actions in a 3-hour loop. Example: Mine for 1 hour → Forage for 1 hour → Fish for 1 hour → Repeat. Actions will start as if manually initiated, loading the relevant loadouts automatically. The queue only advances after an action is completed (e.g., a long smithing action won't be interrupted mid-way). To set up an action queue, use the /useractionqueue command. Try /help useractionqueue for options! A UI for this feature will be added in the future. You cannot be in a group while using the action queue, but mercenaries will function normally. UI Things Improved Combat UI styling and scaling from Silent. Formatting updates for /selljunk output. Top Icons moved to Top 3. Technical Things Massively improved base item detection for augmenting/crafting; should now properly use base items unless customized by the player. Refactored the Runecrafting backend module to improve usability and resolve some bugs. Initial support added for time-based shop purchases (e.g., can only buy X item every Y days). The goal is to add wanted items in small quantities as a gold sink while avoiding daily mechanics. More backend support for personal profile customization (hiscore showcase, item showcase, title showcase); frontend support not implemented yet. Fixed the previous fix for wealthing things while cooking. (Why are you wealthing things while cooking???) Adjusted reconnecting behavior— sessions can now preemptively detect reconnect failures due to process mismatches and move to fallback behavior without a delay. This should make reconnecting faster and more consistent, reducing the need to reload the page. Session-persistent loot log/item tracking has been implemented in the backend, superseding the existing session stat system. More support will be added soon™ as it replaces the session stats system. A change to /fixinv was considered to replace legacy items in stockpile with fresh copies, but this was determined to be a bad solution and will not go live. Legacy collectors, rejoice!

Season 0 includes global buffs, starting gear, a leaderboard, and a separate marketplace. At the end, seasonal characters will be locked in Top 3 in normal and mastery levels receive medals.

Starting gear: Bronze Daggers, Flimsy Longbow, Driftwood Staff, Bronze Pickaxe, Bronze Hatchet, Novice Tacklebox. To create a seasonal character, select "Pre-Season" when creating a new character. This slot does NOT count toward your max or active character limit. Wrath and War New abilities added to Wrath and War weapon: Wrath: Deals up to double damage based on missing health. War: Grants team a short-lived enrage buff (same as enemies' enrage buff). Bug Fixes Fixed gold being augmented sometimes. An enormous amount of UI rewrites and fixes (mostly by Ice!). Fixed /profile cosmetics not saving items properly. UI Updates by Ice Pings reworked and should function more as expected New whisper channels trigger pings (unless disabled). Group invites trigger pings (unless disabled). Chat links reworked: Loadouts can now be shared. Shared loadouts store slightly less info but include ability rotations.

Inventory Tabs Added new global rules to allow you to change the default tab for an item. Changed inventory tab saving behavior to reduce bugs. Properly delete the selected tab when setting to 0. Added /collapse command to quickly collapse existing tabs. Added retroactive validation to non-tabbed inventories to ensure items in there aren't tabbed (ammo / tacklebox / augmentation queue).

The left-side bar interface is now improved, including: Improvements to the loot log. UI customization like pinning the drawer or slimming it. New info tooltips for some skills, written by Feylos! Hiscore Icons On session start and every hour, hiscores are checked. The top 20 players of each category (each skill, normal and mastery levels) are given unique icons. Icons are retained while holding a top 20 position but removed if a player drops out. Plans to expand this to other achievements like dungeon clears in the future. Tweaks Removed weapon and offhand item tags (equip slot search is now available). Removed crafting tag from craftable items. Exposed craftable attribute to client. 'craftable' is now a new search term. Chat-linked skill UI tweaks. Loadouts now display their augs/enchants on items. Update UI status bar filters out hyperlink clutter.

Accessible through the /profile command: Use /profile cosmetics to save your currently equipped items and cosmetics as your default inspection character. Use /profile icons add/wipe to add or remove your currently selected chat icon as a highlighted icon displayed on your profile. New Profile Icon Buyables A new selection of profile icons is now available for purchase with platinum. These icons can be used in chat or displayed on your /whois page.

Beta 0.12.15 - Small Update Before The Big One

02 August 2023	Beta 0.12.15	Prepping for the Next Big Update
This is a small update of what we've had ready for live and includes some technical changes to how some chat messages are handled as well as improvements to various mod tools. The major change for this week is that playtest will go live to hopefully get the next big update ironed out for next week! See the Discord for more details!

Beta 0.12.14 - Bug Removal Service

05 July 2023	Beta 0.12.14	Bug Fixes, QoL Improvements, and Balance Changes
Once the server stops burning we will be focusing heavily on the next big update since it includes a fair amount of content, the systems that power that content, as well as many various technical improvements across the entire codebase. 0.12.14b Adjusted the leniency of the inventory interactions to handle errors, should allow stack size to increase even if there was a hiccup. Minor cleanup/refactoring for technical improvements, ported in from the next big work-in-progress update. 0.12.14a FIXED THE ITEM LOSS BUG. Lots of handling (notifications for clients) when a transaction has issues, at the module level. Adjusted how auto-recovery happens so it doesn't immediately do it on first error. Handled for negative stack-sized item. UI fixes for various item + loadout issues. Fixed cooking pot reconstruction using some random dude's inventory lmao. You can log in with either your account name or your verified email now. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue that led to accounts being unable to be claimed by email properly. Abilities can no longer be learned in combat to keep player rotations from resetting when updating known/learned abilities. Fixed a transaction failed error when attempting to sell junk when none are present in inventory. Cooking pot is now reconstructed from database when it errors out so it should no longer be stuck until a /refresh. Players can no longer join a party that is busy. Commands can no longer be sent in group chat to reduce problems related to issuing commands. Shrine high score table has had some of its old UI undeleted. Keys/Scrolls that are selected in the combat UI then removed from stockpile will be unselected in the combat UI. Marketplace history date now has some spacing to keep it from becoming illegible in some cases. Fixed the nimble description. Fixed enchantments that are supposed to take from ammo pouch not doing it. Scholar description updated to reflect the item destruction. Prevent multiple invites from the same player. Fixed some combat fields not being reset on death in some cases. Fixed being able to send marketplace listings into non-trade or non-custom channels. INFO should now only post to general + league general and help channels. Mastery announcements should now be functional. Single size fish recipes should now properly give burnt fish and fish oil.

What's Happening Next The content and UI overhauls are still in progress and will be entering the testing stage soon! Keep an eye out for teasers posted in the #dev-blog channel.

Beta 0.12.13 - S Y N C

28 June 2023	Beta 0.12.13	UI Changes, Rename Token Update, and Sync Improvements
UI Change If an item's stack size is 1, stack size value is not shown. Rename Token Change Renamed items become untradeable. Currently, this is an irreversible process and applies only to newly renamed items. SYNC Reenabled some recovery settings that will refresh inventories that error without needing to input the command or reload the page. This won't resolve errors that cannot be resolved by a /refresh, and in some cases, the full /refresh will be necessary to resolve some errors that aren't covered by the auto-refresh. What We're Working On Work is still heavily underway on the big balance + content pass for non-combat-related things. Keep an eye on the #dev-blog channel in Discord for more specifics not mentioned here! Currently, we are working on adding three new dungeons from the gathering/production skills as well as half a dozen legendaries with roughly two dozen new equipment pieces/items in general for all equipment slots, including some new ones. It's a lot of content!

Beta 0.12.12 - New Cosmetics, Slight Rebalancing, and Technical Changes

21 June 2023	Beta 0.12.12	Balance Adjustments, New Cosmetics, and Technical Improvements
Balance Changes No more search penalty when switching nodes. Instead, the first node will always be the standard non-specialized node. New Cosmetics The 'Gift of the Lightning King' and 'Fresh Off the Island' cosmetics are now available for purchase at 3500 and 800 platinum, respectively. The first overrides your base skin layer, the latter gives your character a beard and eyebrows. New Token You can now purchase Item Rename Tokens for 300 platinum. Technical Stuff Some significant changes to how we handle some inventory transactions. This should make it more robust at handling edge error cases that cause desyncs as well as give us a lot more information regarding what may have caused that error. Adjustments to canceling actions in progress to reduce potential error cases if resources are being accessed in multiple modules at once. Misc Fixed the message when being invited to someone's group. Adjusted rarity of combat unique item shards.

Beta 0.12.11 - Small Update 2, Electric Boogaloo

14 June 2023	Beta 0.12.11	Changes and Known Issues
Changes Thanks, Dael! Added Min/Max Hit Multiplier to weapons that have them (some 2h weapons). Improved loadout handling, especially in combat. Known Issues / What's Going On We initially posted this in the dev-blog channel on Discord, but here it is in case you missed it: Hello everyone! This is a quick pre-update blog post to give y'all some insight into what's happening. First off: We're aware that there are desync issues that uncommonly occur regarding items in various inventories or the action queue. Generally, if the desync begins, it continues to break things until it is fixed. There are five main steps you should take to resolve these when they occur: 1. Run the command /fixinv – this transfers duplicate stacks of items to restack them. Generally, this means moving ghost items from your stockpile to your vault. 2. Refresh (or full refresh, Ctrl+F5 on PC vs just F5) your page. If the item is only visually there or is just bugged in UI, this will resolve it. 3. /refresh will completely refresh your backend session and rebuild it. This catches and resolves desyncs between memory and the database. 4. /clearqueue force clears your current action and kicks you out from it. This will force cancel any keys/scrolls you're doing, and clearing your queue while doing a key/scroll is non-refundable. 5. Completely reset your group. This should generally be done anytime you attempt any of the above. To do this, simply leave your current group and start any action to recreate it. There are a few bugs that we need reliable reproduction steps for: 1. Doing one action and then randomly swapping to another one. 2. Getting a merc while in a few group, or getting too many mercs. The big content update that I mentioned earlier (non-combat content and balance pass) is still underway, as well as the UI overhauls that Boohi showed a little of above this post. What we're working on right now is getting our test server spun up to specifically look into desync issues that so far have simply refused to be reproducible. We have a few ideas about what could be causing it, as well as changes we can make to improve the robustness of the server in general, which will reduce the more apparently random issues. If these general improvements don't prove to fix the issue entirely, we've got some more technical changes that are currently being planned that ought to fix it, but these are very in-depth and complex changes that I can't readily put a timetable on yet.

Beta 0.12.10 - Small Update, Back On Schedule

07 June 2023	Beta 0.12.10	UI and Combat Fixes
This is a small update to get us back on the Tuesday schedule. UI Fixes Fixed double line on enchanting skilling books for Legacy Tooltips. Fix crash when selecting "Open Marketplace Listings". Combat Fixes Fixed monsters not using their rotations properly because of overlap from priority rotation changes. Fixed Sylvan Staff not announcing. What's Coming We're (mostly Ice) in the process of rewriting the Farming UI/backend. It's a night and day difference and 100% worth the time and effort being put into it. Again, thanks Ice! Continued work is happening behind the scenes for the next planned content expansion/balance pass. There's a lot in it and it'll definitely flesh out parts of the game that may seem a little bare at the moment. Yes, it's for more than Combat!

Beta 0.12.9 - UI, Balance, Bugs

02 June 2023	Beta 0.12.9	UI Improvements, Balance Updates, and Bug Fixes
UI Related (Thanks, Ice!) Platinum to increase icon UI fixed/refined. Fix close button behind preview in plat shop. Fixed market showing server time instead of local time. Fix buff stack rounding issues. Add UI hint when monsters still have more loot to unlock. Adjusted merc health appearance to be more readable. Fix 'ghost items' in bestiary loot entries. Remember scrolling position on marketplace overview when viewing an item. Personal leaderboard fixes. Dropdowns for combat zones. Balance Related Most melee 2h weapons now have increased hit multipliers that will generally increase their effectiveness quite a bit. Shapeless Cleave buffed. Living forest drops fewer apples and more bananas. Fixed inversion of AOE damage. Technical Stuff We're still in the process of doing a lot of cleanup of the backend, but there should already be some noticeable changes to the player experience because of them, such as improved error handling for inventories that should help reduce the number of inventory transaction errors. There may be bugs inadvertently introduced due to the cleanup, but the cleaning should result in far quicker fixing.

Beta 0.12.8 - Less Bugs, More Polish

26 May 2023	Beta 0.12.8	UI Improvements, Bug Fixes, and Balance Changes
UI go brr You can now drag and drop ability images to set your rotation! Bug Fixes Fixed /selljunk sometimes erroring out. Fixed ability rotation sometimes not respecting max ability count. Fixed ability rotation sometimes being able to get changed mid-combat. Fixed instances where Wealth procs would not give you the full gold reward. Fixed legacy food tooltips. Fixed some miscellaneous update listing bugs. Fixed trying to use 0.5 fertilizer bug. Fixed Password Recovery process. Misc. Improvements More info for banned/muted players to know when the punishment is over. Show personal leaderboard placement. Improvements to threat calculations, added option to target based on lowest HP percent. A fun easter egg for collectors of a specific item. Some automated tasks that should hopefully reduce typos I (Nick) sometimes make. Various UI improvements. Balance Changes Reduced soulbound XP gain by ~33%. Super duper mathed out Combat drops from chikenz! (ty chikenz). Reworked crafting material costs for dungeon keys, also based on SUPER MATH. Heal/damage over time effects cast without enough ammo have heavily reduced efficacy (half healing, half dot counts, twice as long between events); Bandage Friendly now requires 1 nature rune. What's happening next patch? We're working on some technical cleanup to try and resolve some underlying issues that have cropped up every once in a while (desync primarily). With our fantastic new blue names, this will hopefully go well!

Beta 0.12.7 - Bugs + QoL

19 May 2023	Beta 0.12.7	Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements
QoL Disenchant and Unsoulbind have been separated into two separate buttons. When you disenchant, it also attempts to salvage materials as normal based on the scrolls that make up the enchant, if it exists. When you unsoulbind, it will remove all item levels and experience as well as reset the augmentation level to 0. The auto-rotation setting defaults to off and a new button has been added to the UI in case you want to test the auto-sort setup without having to use the setting. New setting that checks to make sure mercenaries have access to all their gear and food as intended, and if not, cancels starting combat. Added total healing for food on modern tooltips setting. Implemented 'Dungeon Misclick Safety' Setting, which defaults to false. If it's on, then when you attempt to start any action from the client while running a dungeon/scroll, it will block the attempt and send a popup. Bug Fixes Fixed merc check spam. Fixed some deleted message bugs. Fixed buying the wrong listing. Fixed/improved various UI bugs for marketplace interactions. Fixed an inconsistency with ability displays that led to the wrong abilities appearing in UI even when the backend was casting the correct ones. Update listing should send the full item back to inventory instead of just the base item by ID. Fixed taxing enchant. Fixed retreating shot having twice the effect it should, leading to some weird targeting behavior since it could drop your threat to 0.

Beta 0.12.6 - Mercenaries

12 May 2023	Beta 0.12.6	Mercenaries, Combat Changes, and Fixes
0.12.6b Format marketplace sell item stackSize. Fixed mercs using whetstones. Global buffs should properly appear on client now. Global buffs should properly apply. Fixed auto-attack replacing behavior. Fixed very forgetful characters losing track of their ability rotations. Fixed tooltips to include 2h weapons counting twice for sets. 0.12.6a Fixed dungeons/scrolls breaking. Mostly backend fixes/cleanup. There's a lot in this patch, I may have missed something compiling these changelogs. Feel free to shoot us a question for clarifications or explore in-game for answers! Mercenaries Are In! Mercenaries are a new system where you can hire an NPC to use your equipment and stats to aid you in combat instead of having to always group with another player. This is intended as a convenience system for people who don't want to participate in the ever dreaded ActiveScape™. They're at the bottom of your loadouts tab! New Combat UI Lots of improvements by IceFreez3r for our combat selection and combat adjacent systems. This includes the long-awaited Bestiary. Monster stats and drops are shown in detail as you unlock new entries by completing elite scroll challenges. Dungeon and scroll selection has been overhauled to use the combat zone selection UI instead of an item. Clicking on a loadout item in a loadout will change the loadout's image to that item. Miscellaneous Improved and additional mod tools for chat moderation. Beware, rulebreakers! New update listing option from Ice so you can update your existing listings instead of having to remove and re-add, QoL go brrr. Basic support for the face and body cosmetic slots have been added. Bug Fixes Fixed total expected cooking actions. Location and mercenary assignments persist when re-saving loadout. Various fixes to displaying and fetching patch notes in-game. MOTD appears in all channels except Whispers. A ton of UI related fixes + clarifications that are too numerous to list, mostly fixed by our amazing Blue Names! Massive Amounts of Combat Stuff because it is my (Nick) favorite child Quick Shot and Swift Shot have 10s cooldowns. All 1.33x ability affinity mults have been increased to 1.5x. Empowered Bestial Dagger Speed 2.2 -> 2.1, Strength up to 42, Melee Affinity up to 1.1. Increased accuracy of all crossbows. Decreased Quick Shot min and max dmg to 0.9 from 0.95. Added 'Imbued Charms' which are optional magic damage/acc ammo consumables. Added an uncraftable tier (1.4x) of ammo only available from greater gathering chests. Naturalist now boosts greater chest finding in all gathering. Added additional items to elven gear auging costs, shouldn't be prohibitive, might be too low. Added support for de/buffs to ignore prolonging; this has been added to all existing debuffs. Implemented 'Pending Resurrection' enchantment. Reimplemented the 'Phoenix Flame' set bonus. Overheating affects both defensive and offensive stats. Acid Splash, Acid Wave, and Armor Rend are now available to players through skill books. They drop from enemies that use these abilities as they are themed as notes that the player takes learning from the monsters. Non-elites have 1/10k chance, Elites have 1/1k chance to drop. Reimplemented Resurrection Sickness. Mantle of Flame has 2 new abilities—'Channel Resurrection' and 'Prepare Resurrection'. New combat jewelry is tradable + new level reqs. Taxing Enchantment Reworked, now boosts junk drops and does not reduce stats. Monsters now weaker vs. their special damage weaknesses (slashing/piercing/fire/ice/etc.). Monsters without special weaknesses generally have gotten some new ones. Lesser Demons max hit mult reduced from 1.0 to 0.9 to make lava maze easier early on. Doubled effectiveness of threat modifying buffs (taunt/tank taunt/blending in). Adjusted weights of threat contribution: Armor threat increased. Attack Speed threat increased. Missing HP threat increased and only applies to monsters; monsters will always assume the player is max HP for this check making it effectively static. Implemented 8 (total of 9) new targeting methods for abilities to add more tools for design, i.e. lowest threat, highest threat, random, random excluding highest threat, lowest health, etc. Diminishing damage per attack attempt on AOEs supported. Mercs take 10% of drops per junk roll. Dungeons scale twice as fast as other combat zones for difficulty. Max buff count from abilities supported, generally it's either 1 or 99, debuffs do not cap. Moved hard rotation to priority rotation; character will always attempt to cast the first off-cooldown ability. Monsters still have hard rotations, generally. Added some auto-rotation functionality to create a decent priority rotation off of existing ones, can be toggled off in settings. Recommended to use this as a starting point but not to fully rely on it unless you're okay with some inefficiency. Adjusted drops for Goblin Settlement/Cache, Souls drops, CW drops (mostly all nerfs here). Added a new enemy—Exiled Preceptor. He appears in very high difficulty Fallen Academy waves and drops the high-level mage dungeon frags. He is very strong. Combat splash wheel reimplemented. Crystal scales no longer drop in Overgrown Woods. Fixed various enchantments not affecting stats as intended. Wild Slash base max dmg coeff down to 0.75 from 1.5. Execute has better melee damage scaling, faster to cast (1.2 to 1), and higher min dmg coeff (1 to 1.25). Execute special handling does up to 33% more dmg starting at 50% target hp, from 15% starting at 33%. Slayer's Pendant given more offensive dmg aff in all styles (1.03 to 1.05). Given higher base prot/stam (1 to 4) and 4 strength. Gives 2 str per aug.

Beta 0.12.5 - New Tooltips

05 May 2023	Beta 0.12.5	Tooltip Overhaul and Fixes
New Tooltips Tooltips received a new overhaul, with a more modern and compact outlook. No more overflowing tooltips! You can enable and switch between different Tooltips (and comparison mode) in the Settings. The new Tooltips are disabled (for now) by default. Plan is to make them the default option after a while. The Tooltips were previously part of Dael's userscripts, but now integrated into the official user interface. Thanks Dael! Other Fixed an issue causing Idlescape Plus to not renew properly. Performance and minor visual fixes to Landing page. Clicking the Version at the top right corner will now show the latest official posts from Idlescape. Thanks a lot for all the feedback both in live server and the playtest one!

Beta 0.12.4 - Shapeless Update

26 April 2023	Beta 0.12.4	New Item, Balance Changes, and QoL Improvements
New Item Intended to begin pushing group combat to support more support roles, the Sylvan Staff is a new item that has been introduced to give magic support players access to more tools to keep their parties in the fight. Will be released in next week's update. New Cosmetics The Shapeless Bow and Shapeless Staff have been added as new cosmetics. Quality of Life Can now filter by item set names in inventory. Filtering of player auctions on the sell page. Balance Changes Wealth and Scholar have been returned to their former glory, sort of! They have been reverted to 20% per strength except now they do not stack on top of each other. Halved effectiveness of the Soul Stealing buff (0.1 to 0.05). Chorus of Souls ability overhaul: Lesser Soul Steal to Corrupted Soul Steal, added two new abilities, "Wailing Souls" and "Blinding Souls" that apply debuffs. Implemented several existing combat debuffs. Greatly increased the chance of getting an Elder Stone, now also drops from Elder Ruins itself (aug item for Elven Quivers and Ring of Taxes). Greatly increased aug bonuses for Elven Quivers as they had disproportionately expensive augmentation costs for effectively no stat gain. Magic Forgotten Soul attack speed slowed from 2.1 to 2.3. Eye of the Storm and Maelstrom keys have alternate recipes that are just 10 of their key pieces with no gathering materials. Each physical melee damage type now has a secondary default ability: Piercing gets "Bleed"—an entry-level DoT ability. Blunt gets "Daze"—a debuffing attack that applies the Stun debuff. Slashing gets "Cleave"—a basic two-target AoE. Bestial Fury set bonus now requires three pieces for full strength; two pieces give half. Strength bonus increased, dex bonus reduced. Enrage gives a flat +2% armor pen. If they reach 100% damage, they will start doing bonus damage (though by that point your party has probably been wiped). Bug Fixes A proper fix for duplicate spam posts in client chat components. Shrine buffs should properly randomize each week and reset their progress. Mobile marketplace UI fixed for Safari users. Fixed some augmenting bonus edge cases, such as items not getting the bonuses if they did not have it as a base stat initially. Links in chat clickable again. Server Time clock now correctly shows 24h format, depending on your locale/settings. Miscellaneous Improvements to some mod tools and tracking. Client game data (item list, location list, other lists) exposed for script makers for ease of script creation. Other miscellaneous script-focused edits to UI. Removed some script-generated tags on items that didn't need them. Renamed the Eye of the Storm and Maelstrom dungeon keys due to popular demand. Added extra information to Active Character Token. Huge thanks to the Community Contributors that have been helping us get this update and future updates developed! Blue names go BRRRRRRR. Future Things We will begin playtesting upcoming major features that will have a huge impact on the game's balance, as well as playtesting to iron out existing balance issues. Keep an eye out for this! This will be a closed and small-scale playtest compared to the most recent TS Playtest, so restrictions may apply to those who wish to be involved.

Beta 0.12.3 - Return of INFO

April 19 2023	Beta 0.12.3	INFO Returns, Features, and Bug Fixes
Features & Changes INFO is back! Temporary commands for setting maximum and starting combat difficulties. New commands are /maxdifficulty [value] and /startdifficulty [value]. Adjustments to how combat zone UI works—added an "Enter Combat" button, and clicking the small info 'i' now brings up the information tooltip. This fixes some mobile issues but does not include some of the WIP features teased earlier. Added two new set bonuses: Bestial Fury and Infernal Strength. Gargoyle items are part of the Infernal Strength set, and Bestial items are part of the Bestial Fury set. Increased augmentation bonus received from Gargoyle items. Bug Fixes Fixed (and probably introduced more) countless UI problems. Deleted a lot of deprecated styling, laying the groundwork for future UI improvements. This also likely results in new UI styling issues—let us know if/when you find them! Fixed smithing missing resource popup showing the wrong amount. Fixed enchanted equipment always displaying as enchantment strength 1 in Marketplace. Fixed incorrect item tags on various items and added correct ones. Fixed an issue where players were not receiving their 600 Platinum from Idlescape Plus subscriptions. Affected players have now had their Platinum added to their accounts. Next Week The focus of next week's update will still be mainly on bugs and tackling the larger issues we have. With the groundwork done for fixing UI performance and styling issues, expect more UI improvements in the next update. We are also working on a new interface for selecting a Combat area to fight in. Nick already gave some teasers for it in the Discord #dev-blog channel. We are currently working on the UI-side of it.

Beta 0.12.2 - 10 April 2023

10 April 2023	Beta 0.12.2	Easter Event and Balancing
Easter Event - Ending Thursday, April 13th at 3PM UTC Together with this update, there will also be a small Easter Event. We have hidden 20 codes in various places. They usually start with # in front of them, with a few exceptions. You will be rewarded with some Event Tokens for every valid code you enter. Happy hunting! 0.12.2c Removed Easter Event related stuff Zero Edge actually having the two new abilities mentioned in the previous patch note Potential fix for the duplicate spam posts for spam posts of rare items in chat The ForceFullInventory setting will now send a popup to the offending player as well as name them in the group chat when it blocks an action/dungeon from starting Stamina tooltip now shows your passive heal amount (was gonna be your HP, but the tooltip was not being nice so it goes there instead woo) Added accuracy stat tooltip Loadout tab in combat panel, this makes it accessible for mobile players Mobile players have the currency options defaulted to on so they can actually see all their currency except platinum Scrollcrafting defaults to the necklace option since the components for each scroll are very unoptimized and could make the page unusable for mobile players. If you deselect it and your page freezes, then I blame you instead of our code! :) 0.12.2b Fix prolonging being checked twice Runecrafting (weaving) efficiency enchant check doesn't consume stacks Crystal Mace has is more of a hybrid for melee/magic; now has 60 magic req because of new stats Razorfin reworked to have neutral magic affinity and 2 unique abilities, "Ebb" and "Flow", 2 target moderately strong ice attacks Elven King's Longbow has 0.9 magic affinity and 1.5 nature affinity Shapeless Scythe's melee affinity upped to 1.2, magic affinity to 0.9 Ancient Trident's melee affinity upped to 0.9 Zedge now has neutral magic affinity and 2 new abilities: "Lightning Bolt" which is effectively a fast "Greater" tier magic spell, and "Lightspeed", a self-buff + lightning spell that applies the Acrobatics buff to yourself (33% chance that an attack is sped up by 33%) Moss Maul melee aff from 1.1 to 1.3 Empowered Bestial Defender loses greater slash, replaced by bestial camouflage ability Corrupted Lands monsters all have 0.75 lightning defensive affinity Chaos monsters + swordfish have 0.9 lightning defensive affinity Shrimp God has 0.66 lightning defensive affinity VOG no longer has triple elite waves, they're double elite waves starting at diff 9 Chaos Giants / Abominations / Voidtouched resistance stat halved, protection stat slightly increased to make magic more capable against them Shrimp God p1 and p2 resistance decreased 0.12.2a Merged a bunch of UI fixed and improvements from IceFreez3r! New column in market history with price per item Cost per stack on buy list Sorting of the table works with all fields and ascending/descending buttons Price per item to marketplace history Commas to current lowest price on market value May use affixes like k/m/b for price input fields Some misc UI/CSS improvements from his extension Some backend work/cleanup Fixed some important internal edge case handling for inventories, specifically for deleting of items that are considered invalid Currencies (gold/heat/essence) will always be shown as items in the vault so as to reduce confusion Starting combat difficulty setting actually overrides the default 0 when it's processed Important Note Due to some older bugs some of your inventories have been slightly janked up, hence why some of you have consistently run into particular issues that others may not have we have added an option to show currencies (gold, heat, essences) as items in your inventory. This allows you to vault them to either fix too many stacks making your inventories broken or simply to vault them since that has been a requested feature for a while. We have also enabled the /fixInventory (or /fixinv) command which should resolve these too many stacks issues by restacking all the items in your inventory. This is a last ditch resort to fixing your inventory and functions by finding any items with multiple stacks and moving all instances of them into your vault/stockpile. It does not move them back to their original inventory. Combat Balance + Tweaks You now have a setting to set a starting difficulty; currently max starting difficulty is your highest elite clear in a zone / 2, rounded down. i.e. 10 / 2 = 5, 9 / 2 = 4, etc. When combat difficulty increases your food inventories are refilled from the zone's respective loadout Healing enchantment reworked; instead of decreasing time between passive heals it now boosts the passive heal tick and the amount of health gained from consumables Flamethrower, Krakatoa, and Triple Shot have been changed since they were some of the initial abilities implemented and never had their arbitrarily assigned legacy values updated. Generally speaking, Flamethrower and Krakatoa have been nerfed and Triple Shot has been buffed Hailstorm ability has been added, it is an ice flamethrower attack. It comes from ancient trident/ring/pendant Added Ice Trident ability, it is a strong single target ice attack. It comes from the ancient trident Regenerated a bunch of the AI art for the combat zones. They should look much nicer and much closer to what we originally had in mind! As part of our work on balancing out the new combat mechanics we decided to look into two major issues: Getting to a sufficiently high difficulty takes a really long time. Players aren't burning through enough food To resolve this we've landed on making it so that food can refill and players can select their starting difficulty. This should increase the demand and usefulness of elite scrolls further since they will boost starting difficulty as well as the demand for decent food as players who are pushing difficulties can continue to resupply as the difficulty of the zone increases. This brought up another issue- that of the healing enchantment. Currently it is an incredibly strong non-consumable heal that you simply buy/make once and stick on equipment to have forever. In many cases these passive heals completely invalidate consumable healing. Other areas we're addressing in this update are the broken legacy values assigned to a few abilities. We've brought them more in line with all the other abilities as well as added a couple new variants that use different affinities. Bug Fixes Fixed edge case that allowed for respawning in combat that explicitly blocks it, i.e. dungeons Junk items now correctly have the junk tag Fix some misc. edge case crashes Fixed the droprates of chaos and corrupted fragments from elite enemies, they should be 10-100x more common to match the other fragments from elites Disabled / Hid auto-vault and auto-tacklebox settings as they are not fully functional and can lead to problems UI Improvements Ability Tooltips now show more precise information and show how they will perform with your specific equipment + levels Added filters to the ability selection UI because you can get a lot of abilities clogging that menu up with the right combo of gear Combat Zones now have a tooltip that has their description, recommended level range, and recommended style Miscellaneous Changes Legacy Sorting is now the default option

Beta 0.12.1 - 05 April 2023

05 April 2023	Beta 0.12.1	More Fixes, More Balancing, Some QoL
0.12.1a Adjusted the scaling of monster offensive stats from difficulty, it should scale roughly half as fast it does on 0.12.1 release Fixed Group Chat by finding the annoying field that wasn't being set properly and setting it! Fixes to the half-baked activity log overhaul, should now actually work as intended. May still be missing some cases where a filter should apply but the log doesn't know what the message type is so it never filters it. Bug Fixes Settings should now finally be fixed and persist properly. They should even work based on what you have set before this update hits live! This has been a frustrated little bug to finally track down. Activity Log filter level setting has been replaced by the old system of having several individual logs that you can enable or disable. These are partially implemented and will require your help to note where a setting should apply but it doesn't. Reduced server load in general Fixed some potential augmenting transform edge cases Increased the number of times the server will attempt to handle buffs/inventory changes from 2 times to 5. This may help with changes failing without any particular error on the game logic side. Balance Changes A lot of combat related balance changes are coming with this update: Food cannot be added to any combat instance that is already running except on a respawn. This also fixes a few issues related to this + unnecessary messages that popup because of it. Elite waves have had a frequency adjustment. All zones should now scale to roughly difficulty 15 with elites starting rarely at around difficulty 5 and becoming 1/3 to 1/2 of the waves seen by difficulty 15. Combat Difficulty has been adjusted- see below. Combat drops have been adjusted. Non-elite enemies will generally not drop a complete item, whereas elites will commonly drop the complete and shard versions of the item. Overall the drops of elites have been massively buffed across the board; math puts the drops as being worth the kph hit while pushing difficulty up until about difficulty 25. Overgrown Map crafting requirement has been changed to be 6 map pieces + 3 scrolls. Eye of the Storm key → Renamed to "Ancient Prism", cost reduced to 4 + 300 aquamarines Maelstrom key → Renamed to "Captive Chaotic Prism", cost reduced to 4 + 300 aquamarines + 100 chaotic crystals Wrath and War weapon buffed Quality of Life There is now a location selection panel when editing loadouts. You can just select which loadout it should relate to instead of the weird start action to toggle loc. Combat Difficulty Adjustments TL;DR = Difficulty is much less effective HP, some more accuracy and damage Reduced monster HP scaling (new effective scaling is about half as strong as previously), new formula = base * ((1 + 0.1) ^ diff + 0.25 * diff) Monster prot/res now scales at +1% per diff, which is basically nothing Monster attack mastery now scales ~3x faster than other monster masteries (3.33% of monster attack additionally gets added as attack mastery) Monster damage masteries (str/magic/range) now scale 2x faster than other monster masteries (2% of monster skills turn into masteries, i.e. at diff 5 a strength 100 enemy now has strength 100 + strength mastery 10) Monster damage from gear (str/dex/int) now scales 2x faster than before (+20% per diff) Monster agility now scales 1.5x faster than other monster defensives (better make acc scrolls!) Each level of difficulty gives a 1% chance to double loot and a 0.1% chance to triple loot Enrage timer is reduced by 7.5 seconds per difficulty, capped to 60 seconds as minimum enrage timer

Beta 0.12.0 - 29 March 2023

29 March 2023	Beta 0.12.0	Bug Fixes and Game Balancing
Insert Patch notes 0.12.0a Chaos Crest gets tongs enchantment override slot, down to 3 enchantment slots Disabled some of the stat tracking as some other work in progress systems are causing it to lag the server a lot Fixed an auto-eat issue when server is lagging Minor UI fixes, rounding issues primarily Several item image, description, and stats fixes Mysterious bait now gives between 50 and 200 stats to make it useful Whetstones now benefit from endless ammo enchantment Ammo accuracy multiplier now works as intended Offline progress sorts properly, like chests Massively improved logging for errors related to transactions and buffs Most of the fixes / additions made it into last week's update in the 0.11.9a-d versions, but here's the remaining set! Bug Fixes / Improvements Added auto-recovery logic to group handling which should resolve potential soft-locks caused by desync Improved Group Chat's handling, should stop leaking into other channels by using the existing ActivityLog handling Fixed issue that caused critical strike to not calculate into stats like other enchantments Sort chest contents by item ID (legacy sorting) Showing player currently registered email in the input box in settings Password recovery process more streamlined + enhanced UI Tool enhancements for mods Centered the button in the loading wheel state when logging into the game Backend improvements for finding faulty code Fixed /help command not working Fixed /discord command not working Gameplay Changes Obsidian gear can be recycled into obsidian glass at a 1:1 ratio Adjusted/added high difficulty waves so that there are significantly more elite fights while pushing difficulty Added and fixed some descriptions of items Trimmed lots of the group log spam Current Wave or Waves Left, Difficulty shown in the combat heart component instead of in logs Combat Bar update- popup to confirm running away, moved the chicken button, added/updated combat stats tooltips Buffed ranged ammo, added melee whetstones as an optional melee consumable ammo type Slightly increased time to weave fibers (+500ms per tier) UI properly reflects that RC effective level decreases time to RC/Weave Efficiency now works for fiber weaving Significantly decreases the augmenting costs for dungeon keys; they no longer use their relevant fragment in their aug costs Ice Stones (aug mat) renamed to Frost Shards to avoid confusion with Ice Stone (junk) Aqueous Chunks and Frost Shards now drop from Ice Giant + Elite Variant Boars and Wolves now drop crystal scales rarely Elven gear can now be recycled into crystal scales Elven Armor has been renamed to Elven Heavy Armor Elven Light Armor has been added, it is crafted w/ Elven Heavy Armor + Crystal Scales Elven Hat has been renamed to Elven Hood Elven Hat is now a new item, it is crafted w/ Elven Hood + Crystal Scales This is intended to give rangers a proper end-set of gear that affords bonuses to all their specific stats (agil, dex, affinities, etc.) Added the second tier of Ranger's Grace (+40% agil) and Dextrous Shot (+30% dex) Slightly decreased the base effect of Ranger's Grace (+30% agil -> +20%) Conversion recipes between Aqueous Chunks and Frost Shards Basically all endgame uniques have crafting recipes now; both the base item and their crafting material drops in combat so a portion of the unique items have to consume some gathered materials to become a usable piece of equipment, adding some more demand for high end gathering materials

Beta 0.11.9 - 22 March 2023

22 March 2023	Beta 0.11.9	New Landing page, Bug Fixes, Quality of Life and a bit of content
Quality of Life, Improvements & Changes Significantly increased droprates of post-refactor key fragments; elites have had their droprate for these items increased 2-10x+ Notifications as activity log setting Added Hunter's Band (range dps) Added Dwarven Hammer Necklace (blunt dps) Added Ancient Token (mage ice legendary pendant) Added Ancient Ring (mage ice dps) Added Golem Ring (super hybrid ring) Adjusted Defender jewelry Buffed scaled circuit Buffed ancient nature talisman Chaos Crest has +1.5 smithing levels per aug instead of 0.5 Mantle of flame offensive damage fire affinity lowered from 1.5 to 1.35 Buffed Armory (Glass/Obsidian enemy) drop rates + uniques Loot Goblin chances are shown in its enchantment descriptionAdded commas to lowest price on marketplace sell panel Added purple glow to soulbound items Added experience per action component to gathering resource components Platinum shop is sorted by category and price instead of date added / internal ID Added Lesser/Greater Jewelry Caches as common dungeon drops Added "Dungeon Caches," these are essentially tradeable dungeon loot rolls that are NOT enhanced by treasure hunter at all. There is an 100% chance for 1 cache, and a 10% chance to get another in EVERY dungeon. Basically doubled the amount of trash you can get from dungeons + enhanced min rolls so not as much bad RNG (NOT IN CACHES) Phroglin Pheromones Game/General shop supports pre-enchanted gear Bug Fixes Tons of crash handling focused on buffs Dungeons will not start unless the keys are consumed properly; keys will not be consumed unless the dungeon starts correctly Critical damage mults are sum, not avg; fixed rounding on critical strike A bunch of misc UI cleanup / fixes Fixed enrage not going past 1 Fixed tiny fishtail and razorfin Some cooking changes are brewing! 0.11.9a - The After Update Improvements to how critical stats are calculated, support for it as a potential buff Fixed Dwarven Hammer Necklace slot from ring -> necklace Unequip equipment in wrong slots Improved scroll/key tooltip to clarify things like difficulty or TH bonuses Reimplemented group chat, it's kinda weird w/ how group logging works now so need feedback here Slot Tooltip name of "Arrows" changed to "Quiver / Pendant" in Item Tooltips only Sealed Scrolls have new dungeons in them Overhaul of Loot Goblin's drops; consistently fighting them at high diff + th will generally give really good stuff Properly sync actions between party leader and party members on action end Added more cases where actions sync to client, should help with visual issues where a player appears to be "stuck," i.e. visually stuck in dangerous gathering combat but still getting gathering items/xp 0.11.9b - Update 2, Electric Boogaloo Castle Door announces to chat as intended Elder Ruins now properly drop Elder Cache Combat Buff stacks will now ONLY consume 1 stack per action, i.e. if an enchant boosts 2 stats it will only be used once instead of twice Fixed some combat crashes Loot Goblin can drop bird's nests 0.11.9c - Update 3 Improved some descriptions for various things Fixed farming manually harvesting deleting the plant instead Fixed Elder Cache ID issue Added password recovery to our new landing page Fixed some miscellaneous edge-case crashes 0.11.9d - Update 4 Minor adjustments to some mob rotations Fixed max damage in ability tooltip sometimes not appearing Cleaned up some combat targeting logic, may resolve some edge cases Significantly reduced odds for chests + greater variants from loot goblins since there's lots of junk/gold items in the tables now Equipment linking fixed + button back Removing zones from loadouts save to DB properly, toggling loc no longer resets loadout UI (Recommended to redo any existing loadouts that have a defined location!) A lot of mod tool fixes. Watch out, ne'er-do-wells! Adjusted our inventory recovery logic to include some error cases that did not attempt to recover; should fix some desync issues caused by longterm uptime Dangerous Gathering has been reworked: Instead of actual combat there is a stat check for fake combat that adds a simulated delay to the gathering actions; if you have decent combat stats and stats in that gathering skill you will have a short delay + receive the combat loot as if you had killed the monster there. If you don't then you will have a longer delay and may not receive the bonus loot. The delay counts towards shards, so dangerous zones now generate as many shards as non-dangerous zones. You will not receive combat XP from the simulated combat.
