• In the spirit of Halloween, Gravedigging has been introduced & Forensic Evaluation re-written. A time will be scheduled and announced sometime today/this weekend to publish this to the live server.
  
  Gravedigging:
  - Requires 80 Mining and 80 Forensic Evaluation to begin using
  - Must purchase a Gravediggers Pickaxe or Shovel from the Gravedigger merchant

  - Gravediggers tools have a limited number of charges, 50 to start, and a charge will be consumed with each successful dig
  - Gravediggers tools are both equippable for max fun, and a "Use RH" button appears with both of them equipped to easily press Q to start digging
  - Chances to obtain new rewards introduced in the form of titles, pet mounts and collectibles (what could they be?!?)
  - A few Halloween rares also have a chance to be obtained from now until 11/05, these are different than the Halloween Paragon drops
  
  - Forensic Evaluation changes:
  - Can be trained to 50 by the Gravedigger merchant
  - The skill can now be used to evaluate containers, live beings, and corpses
  - Already-picked containers can be inspected to reveal who has tampered with the lock
  - Player corpses can be inspected to see who murdered them, as well as if or who has disturbed the corpse, and lastly also revealing who/if someone else already inspected the corpse
  - Players can be inspected to reveal what NPC guild they are a member of, most importantly the Thieves Guild

  - Q & E buttons will now be hidden if they do not have an ability assigned, as opposed to always showing a blank hotbar button(s)
  - The Q button will now show "Use RH" when you equip an object that doesn't have an ability, use this to double-click the object equipped in your right hand
  - Merchants that train skills will now have a context menu option (right-click menu) for each skill they train to simplify the skill training process

  - Only items inside of the container at the time that auto-salvage was initiated will be processed, avoiding any items added to the container after starting auto-salvage; This should resolve issues related to items being created in/moved into the container during salvaging causing some items to be salvaged even though they are not salvageable.

Existing pet deeds were originally scheduled to expire on 1/1/2020 but as you know we had delayed that to give people more time to claim them. Existing deeds will now expire on 6/15/2020 and existing deeds will be removed from the world at that time.
