New stuff
- Enmity overhaul. Details available here (lots of math, lots of details).
- adjustments to enmity values for certain spells and abilities
- mobs jump around less overall from player to player.
- Mob melee additional effect overhaul. Effects modified on, and added to, many mobs to make them more retail-accurate.
- Mob job special ability (2hr) overhaul. Many NMs were given their 2hr, or had it updated. New system supports mobs with multiple 2hrs, repeated-use 2hr, and lots more.
- Transport timer overhaul. Should make certain elevators and bridges more reliable.
- Added glitter animation to excavation points.
- The /salute emote now varies by nation.
- Portable healing (ethers, potions, elixirs, etc.) removed from auction house dupe system.
- Automaton attachments that were not balanced for 75-cap combat have been removed. We will revisit these as new content is released (assault, etc.).
- Castle Oztroja [S] is open for business.
- Added Pirate encounters to ferries. Not fully implemented, but Sand Charm can now be acquired.
Quest related
- Implemented quests “Fly High” and “Over the Hills and Far Away”
Zantetsuken Quest
- Implemented NM Zantetsuken reward system.
- This is not the full-fledged custom NM system we do still plan to implement in future updates, but it is a new way for players to earn Zan points.
- Zan will be rewarded for killing timer/lottery NMs that drop uncommon AH-able loot. Higher level NMs will reward more than lower level ones. Lottery NMs will reward more than timer NMs.
- We hope this will incentivize players to hunt NMs not commonly targeted, which will keep the AH stocked with some of the lower-level rare gear that’s often missing on the AH.
- Note that there is a -very- long cooldown on these rewards, so maximize your Zan by killing a variety of NMs. Farming the same one daily won’t work at all.
