Publish 30

General Fixes/Tweaks/Enhancements

Treasures of Tokuno Phase 1
- Fight the creatures that inhabit the Tokuno Islands to recover unique Samurai Empire treasures
- Almost any creature on the islands or in the dungeons of Tokuno has a chance of rewarding you 1 of 20 different minor artifacts
- Your chances of finding an item are scaled based on the fame of the creature you defeat
- Recovered Tokuno items are placed in your bag (or bank if your can’t carry anymore)
- This is a limited duration event
Archery has been reverted back to its pre-Pub 29 “fire and forget” state until a more comprehensive solution can be implemented
Houses can no longer be demolished if the house’s moving crate still has items in it.
Vendors will no longer have “the vendor” appended to their names.
Fixed a bug that didn’t remove the weight of gold that was in 2 piles when it got tithed

Item Fixes/Changes

Book of Bushido and Book of Ninjitsu now only take up the correct amount of storage when locked down in a house
Big Fish Trophy will no longer disappear if not locked down (it is different from other deedables in that it can be locked down.)
Can no longer use Savage Kin Paint while in Animal Form
Fixed an issue that reduced a player’s strength by 5 from logging out while under the effects of a Rose of Trinsic pedal under specific circumstances
Potion kegs now weigh the correct amount. Full kegs now weigh 100 stones, while empty kegs weigh 20 stones.

Spell Casting/Spell Crafting Improvements

Players can now craft Necromancy scrolls
Players can now craft Spellbooks with magic properties (Note: These items will NOT be blessed on Siege or Mugen).
Can now sell Necromancy scrolls to NPC mages

Creature and Spawning Fixes/Adjustments

Fixed the issue causing tame Fire Beetles to not do the correct amount of damage
Ranged poison cloud attack given to Yamandon and Serado the Awakened. This ranged attack does 20-25 points of direct damage plus level 5 poison to its target

Vendor Changes

Addressed an issue where vendors were not charging the correct daily storage fee. Players should ensure that each vendor they own is paid the proper amount of gold so that no items are lost.
