  • sword golem improvements: it flurries now. It also goes up to a max equivalent neo-reg level of 200. (was 100)
  • sword golem also hangs around for 10 mins. You can replace it instantly by summoning another, and not get an error message
  • fixed priest's (and druids) summons not being scaled to neo-reg's lower levels (probably fixes fortitude spells too)
  • socketing wand no longer requires sorcery to use (in anticipation of other classes getting to use it on their gear)
  • fixed (hidden) UNKNOWN has left the game
  • less shadowlords (for reasons)
  • improvements to blue stone quest dialog
2024-10-15
  • added improved and refined clear pots from dangerous dungeons' fountains
  • added a dps measuring npc in izumi (look for the reaper near the entrance)
  • wallop now will hit 1 target if under 10 rage, rather than complaining and quitting
  • try shield bashing mobs into the void
  • got hybrids appearing in epic, heroic, blood, apoc themed instances. added a couple of more hybrid varieties

    • Also finished gauntlet scroll - they are for sale on a merch in nord. Haven't yet figured out how to make them permanently available but for now you can buy them for 1000gp. They are more suited to low level players, probably up to lvl 150.

    Read the scroll and be teleported to a nearly endless (140 approx floors) of random rooms from 'the gauntlet' full of mobs that get progressively harder. You can't TP out, nor can play it in a party. Auto res disabled and when you die it's over. Next time you try it you start at the floor you died in (so you only have to do the whole thing once). Though the first floor you start at for the very first time at will be selected roughly according to your level, so not everyone has to start from the 1st floor.
