CHANGES / UPDATES/ TWEAKS:

• tweaked inventory sends to be a little more efficient
• added support for different offmap tiles for each n,s,e,w border
• added walk off exit to snowy island
• grey text when looking at hooked items (like books)
• vigour now 5x more effective
• removed max lvl 100 req on items / artifacts
• re-added the ultimaish names for tomes and scrolls etc, so instead of tome (small light) it's tome (In Lor) - didn't re-add runic tho, for simplicity of coding and accessibility for players
• map compression (RLE)

Enchanting changes:

• ench skill gain 30x faster (but max skill gain is 1 point however)
• added non soulbound sextant to drops (uncommon)
• added orb to drops (uncommon)
• ember, fang, clay more common (all 10% chance to drop)
• charged shard drops are improved
• added mega yellow pot to healing ward ingredient list

Item drop changes:

• tints drop a little more often
• essentially, all tints now drop, but specifically:
• re-added blackrock, venomous weapon drops
• added boiled and studded leather drops
• added copper weapon and wearable drops
• fixed a bug that stopped gold medium and heavy armours from dropping
• added goldweave & silverweave u/a and light armour drops
• added battleweave(cloth) + battlehide(leather) light armour drops (which is essentially adamantium by another name)
• silver+gold leather armours now known as silverhide/goldhide ... both now drop
• U/A gloves can either be slaying or stat boosting (were 100% slaying). Also added spell enchants (eg AM, VOG to gloves)
• max stat bonus drops up to +32
• min vig bonus is 4, up from 1
• the + on drops now a little more consistent, and improved overall. However, don't expect to get +32 stat gear or even +8 weps or +6 def off balrons or dragons: kill shadow creatures or it or dig it up. It's still not guaranteed!!
• fixed some strange code that made NV and vigour 2x as common as other wearable drops
• any wearable item can be +def, +stat, +nv, +vig etc
• 'rarities' (wands, nuggets) slightly more common (still rare though)
• readded leeching staff drops - this isn't to say they aren't still useless, just added for completion

Item craft changes

• removed addled, runed, barbed smith hammers from tinker list

Wand of transferrance:

• can now transfer enchants between wearable items
• can only enchant plain, studded, copper (boiled), silver, gold and blackrock (darkweave)
• removed + limits for transferrance
• swapped +'s are still reduced by 1 (most of the time!)
• target item shard reqs have probably changed, you can go figure it out but they are reasonable
• enchant reqs are scaled 0-100 depending greatest enchant+ being transferred
• still cannot transfer anything but the + on weapons, and cannot transfer enchants between weapons and armour and vice versa
