Next reset:

- New Ship Models added along with 117 new Ship Related Placeables created by FallenDabus. I'll be slowly rolling out new and updated ships with these new additions. But for now we are testing it with limited new content in the form of:
- Added a new Player Ship for Sencliff
- You can now fire Warning Shots against other Player Ships, these do no damage but will set both Ships in a combat state and prompt a warning message.
- Ships without a Grapple Cannon can now engage NPC Vessels as well
- Bug fix related to Pirate Chests

From Sincra
==============
Earthkin defender stance:
-Lasts turns/(EKD levels*2) instead of 10 turns.
-Example duration, 6 levels of EKD -> 12 turns.
-Defensive stance effects are removed on joining the server, this is due to what was an exploit to remove the speed penalties.
-Rejoining will set a shorter timer, 2 rounds vs 5, provided you had defensive stance on still. This is to avoid punishing net issues, do not abuse this!
-Staying in defensive stance for the full duration removes all stance effects, starts the 5 rounds timer and alert you via a new message in the combat log.

Shop signs:
-Faction members with bank withdrawl rights can now access the sales log on store signs.

Assassin poison DC's:
-Now correctly gives +6 at 18, was capped at +5.

Loremaster Secret of Gathering:
-Now correctly adds % chance throughout mining.

Slave "Quest":
-Now respects stacks of required [Redacted]. No longer does the system consume the pile as one.

Containers:
-Containers now use party lore to identify when doing the following:
=Adding items to container singularly with selector tool.
=Adding items to container using store all in conversation.
-No longer will our wrists be punished.

Equipment Durability and Rest Menu:
-On the rest menu the Equipment durability option is now in the sub page, "Equipment".
-Toggle options cleaned up and made clearer.
-Sub page contains Equipment durability options and new option.

New Options for Equipment Durability:
-Toggle Un-equip at low durability:
=Can be set for each item slot individually, where relevant to combat wear and tear.
=Un-equips item when they are damaged and fall to 1 charge.
=Does not stop you equipping the item again.
=Can drop item onto the floor if your inventory is full.

Awaken Spell:
-Now remains on the companion before, during and after a nap.
-Rejoice, your slightly more aware badger persists.

Maze Spell:
-Now reports when a target is immune.
-Provides feedback when the Maze cannot be found, please report this using the template.

Language award menu:
-New option added, "Return to Award Selection", does what it says. You will find it at the end of the languages available.

From Kalopsia and Sincra
==========================
Disguise cover:
-Now correctly uses your disguisename-cover description as intended.
-Make sure when naming your cover it is the same as the intended disguise, e.g. '-description +save_cover example' will produce "example-cover" and should be used with '-disguise example'.

From next reset:
From Starfish:
Fishing:
- 40 NEW FISH! More will be added in the future if needed
- 4 new sizes of fish. Small, medium, large and extra large
- Fish populations are divided into location and temperature with some overlap
- Expanded pool of fishing junk
- Fishing grants XP per catch (even for Commoners) but it's not all easy sailing as you may attract unwanted attention
- 3 tiers of new craftable fishing rods, the old ones will no longer work. Simple, Sturdy and Reinforced fishing rods. They start with a hook of their respective tier
- Rods no longer randomly break on failure, durability damage may occur instead. If your line snaps you need a new hook
- Fishing requires both a hook and bait to be added to your fishing rod and you can't attach bait without a hook
- 5 new hooks, 3 are craftable. Copper, Iron and Damask fish hooks
- 4 sizes of craftable bait. One for each of the fish sizes
- 6 bugs, of which all can be used as small bait. Caterpillar, grub, shiny beetle, dragonfly, small spider and worm
- Chance when digging to get worms
- A craftable bug jar to store your bugs. The item also allows you to forage for bugs. Eggs may also sometimes be found when foraging
- Berley, sometimes called chum. A craftable mix of fish offcuts and meat that you throw in the water to attract fish. Lowers fishing time
- A gutting knife to chop up your caught fish without the crafting menu, gives lots of new fishy bits
- Craftable potion of Water Breathing with Herbalism. Similar to the water breathing spell
- Craftable potion of Feather Falling with Herbalism. Halves damage on failed climb check
- Craftable fishing boots (that provide a bonus to fishing) with Tailoring

From Next Reset

Cordor Crypts Update
--------------------------------

- An expansion to the top level, and a number of connections throughout the rest, ensuring that all the various different family crypts (Derlson, Nebankh, Buried Mausoleum) now have routes in/out of the central crypts. The key to access the lower levels is now no longer required, as there are a number of other routes below.

Goblin Fortress
----------------------

- Removed the need for a key to access the lower dungeons.


Whidershin Festival Grounds
-----------------------------------------

- Fixed up some broken stalls and the dice tables not working in the gambling tent.



Elsewhere I've made a few other smaller changes, fixing typos in conversations, broken climbling spots etc.

===
These weapons and shield also sport a lot of visible changes now - including the materials that we have in their creation, quality types.

ILR = item level requirement.
Runic Tier = corresponding 1-3 tier of an enchanter.
Specifically named runes = you need to know a language associated with that type of rune.
Runic Property = +/- to enchanting possibilities.
+# by Spell abilities = a bonus to the CL of the spell.
Base (Stat) Requirement: You need the HARD number in that stat to wield it.

Red Ropes is doing an "item update and audit" so expect to see more updates to old/existing things to bring them in line with our newer systems and balance changes.

The Orcish Blood Weapons are updated to their new versions except for the negative damage bonuses, which will remain untouched and replace the physical damage bonuses on the new items.

Material types and qualities are also being added & may be useful in the future.


From Myself
-------------------

Writ XP Changes

- Recommended level ranges for writs will once again show. Characters can still do them at any level, but for every level ABOVE the maximum recommended level 20% of the 'immediate' XP will instead be given as adventure XP (So if 5 levels above it will be 100%). This only applies to characters outside the level range, not to those within it who may be completing the writ alongside them.

- Adventure XP for writs is no longer doubled for first time completion (This should have been removed before when writs got changes to being a single time deal.)

- Many writs have had their rewards adjusted. For the most part (But not all) these are minor decreases to the XP rewards

(The reason for the above changes should be clear. The XP was VERY high in some cases, meaning characters were actually levelling faster than the available writs, meaning that 'easy' writs were routinely being left over for later, and thus completed without challenge.)


20 new writs added

- Across all servers other than the Distant Shores, including a number covering epic levels. These should more than offset the XP reductions mentioned above. These include:

Cordor: Derlson Crypts, Tombs of Nebankh, Thoraminds Workshop, Lower Shade Asylum

Underdark: Cloaker Spiral, Minogon Plant, Mind Flayers, Burning Shores, Cauldron of Slime

Surface: Lower section of Goblinoid Fortress

Guldorand: Soulhaven Crypts, and approximately 9 special Deep Well hunts.

(I do intend to add more in coming weeks, especially 'patrol' writs covering common travel routes, one of the only types of writs that can currently be repeated. We are also aware of an issue with duplicate Courier Writs, which we hope to look into soon.)


Adventure XP Tavern Drain

- Rather than receiving a larger portion of their adventure XP drain while roleplaying in taverns, characters receive a 50% rebate. Thus, if you are receiving 100xp from your Adventure Pool per tick, while in taverns only 50xp will actually be reduced from the pool.

(This represents a significant bonus to tavern based roleplay so long as a character has a pool to deplete, and as such is on a trial basis.)




Obviously with an update on this scale players may well experience bugs, or have related feedback. If so please use the appropriate forum section.

Live this reset:

From Sincra
============
Scribe Scroll:
-Epic casters can now craft on bulk with scrolls.
-As above, must have 21 caster levels.
-Inverse amount by Innate Level, so:
=9th Innate -> 1 scroll
=8th Innate -> 2 scrolls
=7th Innate -> 3 scrolls
=6th Innate -> 4 scrolls
=5th Innate -> 5 scrolls
=4th Innate -> 6 scrolls
=3rd Innate -> 7 scrolls
=2nd Innate -> 8 scrolls
=1st Innate -> 9 scrolls
=0th Innate -> 10 scrolls
-Cost is multiplied by the amount to be crafted.
-Works similarly to brew potion.
-Will only craft up to the number above or the amount in a stack of scrolls, whichever is smaller.

Mining nodes:
-Static nodes (Non-RNG) should now respect bonuses from Earth genasi, Loremaster and Bard song to amount mined.

Rest timer:
-When over 50% rest the timer will now show minutes instead of seconds until you can rest again outside of rest zones.

Rest and Craft Menu updates:
-Craft menu (on the radial menu) has lost all items except:
=Portrait, head and sound set options. These are only visible in relevant areas.
=Craft trap.

-Rest menu has gained:
=Outfit manager as per old system, with an addition of deleting a saved slots outfit.
=Spell-book manager as per old system, now says if slot has a saved spell-book in the dialogue.
=Shield, weapon and backpack modifying.

-Rest menu change:
=Settings option is now found under Miscellaneous, was previously in Character.

Radiant Heart and Pirate writs:
-Should no longer submit all writs if you level up partway through submission.

From Kalopsia
==============

IMPROVED PRAY COMMAND:
- Prayers will now take current HP into account: If you're near death but have some minor debuffs, an increasing amount of healing is guaranteed.
- Prayers will prioritize effects that prevent you from controlling your character. Once there are no such effects, lesser debuffs will get removed.
- The existing maximum of 10 healing per character level or 3 removed debuffs remains unchanged.
- Additional Fixes:
> Prayers can once more result in Lesser Divine Favors
> Prayers can now also remove Turn Undead effects
> Restoring debuffs no longer disproportionally reduces pray healing for low level characters

Post by Red Ropes » Sat Dec 11, 2021 5:27 pm

The issue above has been resolved - you can (and probably might notice) you can do scrolls again. Next reset, most likely, the following will go into effect.

==============
From Sincra & Red Ropes:
==============

-the "dwarven rune" on the Desperado Raiment, Serpentwoe Shield, and other items was a bug. It's now properly showing up as a THORASS rune.

-Arcane Runes will show up as "Thorass" runes as well. They are the new "generic".

- Infernal renamed to Fiendish as the runes are still "infernal" but so that people know that more than Infernal can be used.

- Gnoll added the Fiendish category since Abyssal has influenced their language and they have no distinct writing system.

- Old runes will convert to the newer system, e.g.:
= "elven" will become "Espruar", Tier 3 Rune.
= "arcane" will become "Thorass", Tier 3 Rune.

- If the conversion fails, you will see a Thorass, Tier 1 Rune.
= This is a fail state, but may be naturally generated by loot systems, if you encounter this on a created item that should be more, please report it.

==============
From Sincra:
==============
Gift of Wealth:
-Now triggers once every IG hour.
-Gives 400 gold per IG hour.
-20 Hours of gameplay equals 24 thousand, previously payout was 20 thousand every 9 days.

==============
From Red Ropes & Kalopsia:
==============
ITEM UPDATES, various items have been revised. Updates of the Base Boots, Amulets, and some paladin armors/art helms. Most of these will be grandfathered - but "Fine Elven Boots" and the "Blackguard Helmet" will be losing its 1/day Divine Shield, and will likely resemble their new forms (with old variants removed of glut.) This is the second, of many future revisions/updates of items (so keep that in mind when it comes to feedback - many stealth/sense items are being modeled w/ against one another.)

From myself:
===========

PALADIN - OATH UPDATE

General changes:
  • An extensive class update featuring 5 different oaths with unique abilities, details below!
  • Greater Spell foci removed from bonus feat list.
  • Level-dependent Wisdom bonus removed.

Spellcasting:
  • Spellcasting changed to CHA-based. Now spontaneous cast.
    Unfortunately we cannot offer full remakes at this point, so existing characters that started as Paladins will instead gain a permanent +1 dodge AC bonus as a compensation for their now redundant 11 Wisdom.
  • Changes to individual spells:
    • Holy Sword: Self-target only. No more scrolls or wands; existing ones will stop working.
    • Deafening Clang: Duration increases to turns/level when cast using a Paladin spell slot.
    • Bless Weapon: Bonus damage now also affects vampire player characters.
  • New spell list:

    Image


Oath Feats:
Oath feats define a Paladin's skillset and are selected at class level 6. Higher tiers of the chosen oath are automatically granted at Paladin levels 16 and 26; Harper Priest and Paragon count towards this level requirement. A Paladin can only ever have one Oath. Every oath tier grants +1 passive AB and divine damage in addition to the bonuses below:

  • Oath of Inquisition
    The paladin specializes in the elimination of undead and extraplanar threats.
    • +3/+6/+9 Spot skill bonus.
    • Tier 1: Improved Turning feat (granted earlier than usual).
    • Tier 1: +1d2 additional bonus to turn checks per oath tier.
    • Tier 2: Bless weapon bonus damage increases to 2d10, when cast on the Paladin's own weapon.
    • Tier 2: Planar turning feat.
    • Tier 2: Greater Spell Focus: Abjuration, if the Paladin also has Spell Focus: Abjuration.
    • Tier 3: Eldritch Blasts targeting the Paladin inflict reduced damage.
    • Tier 3: The Paladin has a 50% chance to bypass immunity against critical hits.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword also applies all immunities granted by the Undeath's Eternal Foe spell.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword grants attacks a chance to restore a use of Turn Undead on hit. Triggers once per flurry.
  • Oath of Perseverance
    The paladin specializes in the art of healing, bolstering his allies in their moments of greatest weakness.
    • +3/+6/+9 Heal skill bonus.
    • Tier 1: Remove Disease also cures various other negative effects.
    • Tier 2: Lay on Hands cooldown decreases to 5 minutes.
    • Tier 2: Extend spell feat.
    • Tier 2: Heal spells are automatically empowered.
    • Tier 2: Bless Weapon: Successful melee attacks heal the Paladin by 2 HP (+1 at levels 16, 21 and 26). Triggers on every hit.
    • Tier 3: Lay on Hands healing increases by 25% when self-targeting and heals both the target and, to a lesser extent, the Paladin when targeting other creatures.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword also cures various other negative effects when cast.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword: Successful melee attacks heal the Paladin and nearby allies by 4 HP (+1 at level 26). Stacks with healing from Bless Weapon. Triggers on every hit.
  • Oath of Reckoning
    The paladin specializes in the virtue of persistence, remaining stalwart even in the face of crushing despair.
    • +3/+6/+9 Concentration skill bonus.
    • Tier 1: Heroic Shield feat (Guard ability only, no PDK immunities unless the Paladin is also a PDK)
    • Tier 2: Divine biteback damage (1 per base CHA modifier. Unaffected by Spell Breaches).
    • Tier 2: Divine Shield, if the Paladin also has Power Attack.
    • Tier 3: Divine Shield AC bonus increases by 1 while a shield is equipped.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword: Duration increased to 3 rounds/level; also grants +5 regeneration.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword hits lower the target's AB by 2 for 3 rounds (Will save, DC 10 + 1/2 class levels + base CHA modifier). Triggers once per flurry.
  • Oath of Vengeance
    The paladin specializes in sacred warfare, honing his skills to undo evils all over Faerûn.
    • +3/+6/+9 Leadership skill bonus.
    • Tier 1: Movement Speed increases by 10%.
    • Tier 1: Extra Smiting feat.
    • Tier 2: Great Smiting I feat.
    • Tier 2: Divine Might, if the Paladin also has Power Attack.
    • Tier 3: Divine Might damage bonus increases by +2 (+3 while wielding a two-handed weapon).
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword also activates Divine Might and Shield if the Paladin has enough Turn Undead uses.
    • Tier 3: Holy Sword grants attacks a chance to restore a use of Divine Smite on hit. Triggers once per flurry.
  • Oath of the Ancients

    • Tier 3: Holy Sword hits can entangle the target for 1 round (Reflex save, DC 10 + 1/2 class levels + base CHA modifier). Triggers once per flurry.

Divine Smite:
Smite Evil/Good are getting replaced by Divine Smite. This is no longer a traditional combat move like Knockdown or Called Shot, but rather an instant-use melee ability that scales with a character's combined Paladin, Blackguard, Divine Champion, Harper Paragon and Zhentarim Enforcer levels. Details below:
  • Instant use. 6 seconds cooldown in between uses, increased by 1 second per Great Smiting feat.
  • Characters can store a maximum of one use. Extra Smiting increases that to 3.
  • One use gets replenished every 3 minutes. Extra Smiting halves this time.
  • The ability scales with Paladin, Blackguard, Divine Champion, Harper Paragon & Zhentarim Enforcer levels.
  • The maximum bonus damage is 1 for each level in one of the above classes, increased by 1 per Great Smiting feat.
    This bonus damage scales based on alignment difference.
  • Great Smiting V and higher have been disabled.
  • Divine Smite shares the character's weapon threat range and critical multiplier, with the exception of bonuses granted by Weapon Master feats.
  • It can only be used with melee weapons.

Relevels:
Due to the above changes, this update includes automatic relevels for:
  • Characters with Great Smiting V or higher
  • Characters with 6 or more Paladin levels

(just adding this to the forums since some people are confused - remember to read the above because paladins are legendary)

From Sincra:
===============
Rest Menu format changes and (New) items:
-A good portion of this is joined to some back-end cleanup. I'll be working on a few more things in the near future for the rest menu(SoonTM).

-Appearance-:
Modify Armour
Modify Backpack

-Settings => Equipment Settings-:

Toggle Backpack on Weapon Equip (New) (See additional notes)
Toggle Backpack on Shield Equip (New) (See additional notes)
Unequip at 1 durability: <Items> (Same as before)

-Help-:
Same as before

Additional notes:
Scroll filter:
-Selecting the menu option to add a scroll will activate the cursor as a selection tool.
-Select a scroll you want to add to the filter.
-That's it.
-Removing it is as simple as selecting it in the remove sub-menu.
-This works for auto-loot and bulk store, single target on the scroll case bypasses filter for purpose of selling/specific storing.
-Limited to 20 as I really don't think unlimited is a good idea, but based on prior forum posts, 20 is above the "core" list of named scrolls.

Toggle Backpack on X:
-This activates on equip and unequip.
-Intended to allow cosmetic shields and weapons on your back to be a more representative item.
-Enabling both and equipping a shield + weapon will just result in it toggling off then on again. Choosing one will work better.

Shifter Rework - PGCC ONLY FOR TESTING / FEEDBACK
Now a base class.

Current shifters (all 2 of them) will be grandfathered. No full remakes will be allowed.
HD: d4
Bab: Full
Skills: 6 + Int
All other stats unchanged

Changes to current shapes:
Kobold Commando: Removed Hide in Plain Sight
Risen Lord: Removed Crit/Sneak Immunity. Lowered slash/pierce DI from 50% to 25%
Dragon Shape: Renamed to Plant Shape. Requires 28 shifter. This change also affects druid but prereqs for druid are unchanged.
Dragon Shape: Dragons replaced with treant, shambling mound, and fungal shambling mound. Breath weapons removed. Stats otherwise unchanged

New Forms:
These are divided into 4 archetypes and 4 tiers for a total of 16 new shapes. They will be granted as follows:

Alter Form I: Shifter 2
Alter Form II: Shifter 11
Alter Form III: Shifter 21
Alter Form IV: Shifter 28

(Sorry you 2 current shifters. You won't get access to Tier 4 or Plant Shape since you had to start as a non-shifter, but you're getting grandfathered into something that will be a greater award.)

Of note:

1: No items will merge with the new shape. Not your weapon, not your armor, not your 3rd ring you hacked the game to let you equip. Nothing. This was purely for my sanity in trying to somewhat balance what is effectively 4 new classes.

2: You are not these new races. You are a shifter. That comes with RP rules along the same lines that paladin or druid does. Do not use this class to spend the next 500 hours of your life RPing solely as a dog, or whatever random shape you're into (there isn't a dog form).

3: Old shapes have had their level prereqs changed to scale more appropriately for a base class. Greater Wildshape IV is at 21.

4: The epic shapes (undead, outsider, construct, plant) have had their wisdom requirements changed to as follows:
Construct: 21
Undead: 23
Plant: 25
Outsider: 27


5: All of the shapes will slowly be reworked to be along the lines of the 16 new ones in strength, albeit more specialized with specific strengths and weaknesses. I will be starting with outsider first and working my way down, so it would be a wise idea to build for wisdom if you want to use these in the future.

New Forms!:

Bruiser Archetype, Tier 1: BullyWug
Bruiser Archetype, Tier 2: Lizardfolk Reaver
Bruiser Archetype, Tier 3: Asabi Chieftain
Bruiser Archetype, Tier 4: Aspect of Wrath

Tank Archetype, Tier 1: Bulette
Tank Archetype, Tier 2: Wereboar
Tank Archetype, Tier 3: Grey Render
Tank Archetype, Tier 4: Aspect of the Hunt

Sneak Archetype, Tier 1: Kenku Footpad
Sneak Archetype, Tier 2: Werecat
Sneak Archetype, Tier 3: Blademaster
Sneak Archetype, Tier 4: Aspect of the Night

Mage Archetype, Tier 1: Salt Mephit
Mage Archetype, Tier 2: Stinger Magi
Mage Archetype, Tier 3: Night Hag
Mage Archetype, Tier 4: Aspect of the Arcane

Please see the wiki for detailed stats.

The shifter update is being removed from PGCC and postponed indefinitely. I apologize for any disappointment. The dragon shape to plant shape update will still be moving forward based on overwhelming team consensus.

DIVINE SMITE:
  • Bonus damage no longer scales beyond 20 Smite Class levels.
  • Great Smiting III and IV: Damage bonuses are halved as well.
  • The maximum bonus damage a character can get when smiting is therefore 60.
  • Bugfix: Smite can no longer be activated while incapacitated.
DIVINE CHAMPION:
  • Divine Wrath: Damage progression lowered to +1 per 5 class levels.
OTHER CHANGES:
  • Replenishment timers for Bard Song, Turn Undead and Divine Smite are now included in the -cooldown chat command

Developer commentary:
There was no denying that Divine Smite damage was rather extreme and needed some changes. Today's update closes the gap between "smiter" and regular divine builds, allowing us to keep the ability useful for the latter without negating the benefits granted by investing in the Great Smite line of feats. Divine Champion, meanwhile, gained a significant amount of damage when feats like Epic Weapon Specialization and/or Divine Might were combined with Divine Wrath. Since such flat damage bonuses scale very well with high threat range weapons or classes like Weapon Master, we have decided to tone down the Divine Wrath bonus damage some and make it consistent with the AB progression.


From Spyre
==========
Race Rotations:

- Deep Imaskari moved from Greater to Major
+ Minotaur moved from Major to Greater
+ Firbolg moved from Major to Greater
+ Ogre moved from Major to Greater
- Wild Elf moved from Minor to Normal
+ Gnoll moved from Normal to Minor
+ Aasimar moved from Major to Greater

Developer Commentary: Reward races often see adjustments based on popularity and mechanical bonuses. Some of the races had been toned down in previous updates (see Minotaur) and numbers are lower. With such, we have looked to lower the reward tiers for a lot of Major races. However, the question of 'Why Aasimar and not Tiefling?' will be asked. There is a far larger number of Tiefling players than there are Aasimar. Further changes to tiers are subject to happen based on popularity of the race and any future adjustments / new implementations.

As an aside: Grumpycat will be looking into further Vampire applications as a few slots have opened. Remember that this race has a lot of requests and that there is a control in place as to the number at one time. Please make sure to send these 5% applications to Grumpycat. Thank you!

=================

Live Now, Big Ship Xmas Update!

- The Trackless Sea Map has been expanded with an additional CR of 32 new quadrants.

- These new Quadrants are Extreme CR and offer their own new Locations and Events including:
* New NPC Ghost Ship
* New Massive Dungeon
* 2 New Event Locations
* New Mobs
* New Diving Bell Areas (For the Deeper Depths)
* Amnian Trade Post

- Diving Bell depths capped now at 800m (Was 600m) offering even greater rewards at these levels

- Grappling now only works if the ships are on the same tile

- Additionally there's a new feature for Bombards where they can fire Chain Shots, this is a new mechanic introduced so one can slow down another ship:
* Chain Shots only deal 25% of their regular damage, but will slow another Ship's Speed upon a successful hit
* A critical hit will lower the speed even further
* You can damage but not destroy another ship with Chain Shots (Will take it down to 1 HP at best)
* The slower another ship is the more bonus you get when trying to grapple them

- Swashbucklers now gain Skill Focus: Sail at Level 12 and Epic Skill Focus: Sailing at Level 25, this is applied automatically to existing Swashbucklers.

- Added Trade Writs, these are wris a Nation Leader (Currently Cordor, Brog and Guldorand) can create with the new -writ command.
* Creating a Writ lets you set resources for a contract and a payment price your Nation will pay when completing this contract
* These Writs can then be given to players to be used for their ships by buying the resources at the Amnian Trade Post
* Ships have a fixed Cargo Size (Some more than others) and can transfer goods from a Master of Trade NPCs at the Trade Post to their ship
* They must then deliver these goods based on the writ contract to the home port at a Dockmaster NPC of where the writ was issued
* Upon delivery they will be rewarded
* A ship moving cargo moves slower based on the size of their cargo
* A destroyed ship will lose all its cargo and if destroyed by a Player Ship will automatically transfer it over to them
* Grappled Ships can transfer cargo between them with the -ship command under [Cargo]
* Sencliff and Andunor sailors can trade in goods to their own respective Dockmasters for a GP reward at 90% of the Cargo Value. Basically pirating off of other Player Ships.
* Some Ships have the Cargo Trait, increasing their capacity.
* The Dockmasters now also has a Store for ease of access selling goods in major ports and offering some basic ship supplies.

- Land Encounters are now no longer restricted / locked when a Ship engages them, anyone can enter the same Land Event now.

- Henchmen are now displayed when using a Spyglass on another Vessel

- The Trackless Sea Map is now using NUI so no more swapping areas. Console users will still use the old way.

- And probably a bunch of minor things I forgot and bug fixes. If you've asked me to fix / add something and I approved it its probably in this update.

With updates of this size its bound to have bugs, I will fix them as they get reported. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

From Sincra, Coming in a reset or few:
================
Hope you all had a good 25th!
-Rest Menu Update:

Sell heads from Head-bags. [Toggle-able]

-Stack option now allows you to choose if items withdrawn from a container will attempt to stack with existing items or not.
-Sell heads from Head-bags allows you to choose if you can sell from Head-bags.

-Storage containers:
=Place all Suitable inventory items into container will now just refresh the inventory rather than close it.
=Selecting an item to remove now shows:

=Options will not show if less than that amount is present.
=Custom amount allows withdrawal of either 100, amount last said, amount inside the container, whichever is smallest.

From Sincra
================
-Large sized creatures now qualify for Concealed blade if using medium weapons (This is used to determine Invisible blade and any 1 size smaller requirements)

-Winged races now "fly" on a climb point.
This will only occur if they have:
=No visible cloak/No equipped cloak.
=Wings that can support flight (e.g. Avariel, Imp and Pixie).
This fly unfortunately only works visually on the exit phase of climb due to limitations. If a workaround is found in future this may change.

Live next reset:

From Sincra, as of next reset or few:
=================
Climbing (Newer climb points):
-Rangers now get 1/2 level as climb bonus.
-RDD gets full level as climb bonus provided they have reached level 9.
-Flying races now do a VFX at the start to represent "starting flight" to make up for animation lack.

Feather/Slow fall (New climb points):
This is a damage reduction on failing a climb check, and is meant to represent a "recovery" or means of negation.
Air Genasi - 50%
Avariel - 50%
Imp - 50%
Pixie - 50%
Monk - (Every third level)*10% (Level 7 = 20%)
RDD - (9 Onwards)*5% (Level 11 = 15%)

None of the above is intended to work with Shapes, Polymorph or otherwise.

Containers:
-Remove all is now an option, this will remove the amount of the selected item or 100, whichever is smallest.

From Kalopsia
==============
AVARIEL:
- Avariel can now choose between a total of 8 different wing colors on character creation.

From Spyre
==========

- Firbolg moved from Greater to Major

Developer Commentary: With the adjustment of races, we saw a sudden flash flood of Firbolg. This is attributed to our scarcity in options at the higher tiers of award for choice where people used held awards to acquire something that became available that may be interesting at the time. Just examining the numbers since the change, there were 45 Firbolg created in this window - which then lead to only 28 remaining after people went through the testing phases and initial impressions and deleted. However, the flash flood diluted the rarity of the race and the uniqueness of encountering it and made it less special to interact with. We've realigned the shift back to Major and wish those who had them the best of luck with their narratives in telling. We will continue to watch the population spread and look at other potential awards to be used.

Next reset, a small Update to Ships:

From ActionReplay
=================

- Cooldown has been removed from Warning Shots. When firing a warning shot it won't affect cooldown on the weapon itself.

- Changing Ship Flag will broadcast this to all nearby ships in the Vicinity, hiding is ignored for this.

- The Swim DC has been altered when tossed into the sea (Abandon Ship or Sunken Ship).
DC is based on the quadrant CR, weather such as wind, mist, rain and storm etc. Your roll and DC will be displayed in the log as well.

- The Ship Trader out at sea is a viable merchant to sell goods to now if you are pressed on time and can't make it to Port (Reset etc).

Its encourage now to fire a warning shot before engaging Naval Combat, swap flags, or just use the shout channel (If on same quadrant). Why the recent changes above.
Ideally with each of these things time should be given for the other players to respond and IF you are boarding then RP should ALWAYS be offered between the groups.

This is also a reminder to people that you can always allow another ship to grapple yours from the Ship's Wheel / Navigator [Abilities] option by toggling this. So if a ship raises a White Flag the Attacking Ship will be notified of this and could attempt Grapple if they've also allowed this from the Defending ship.
