• Bless Spell now prevents Dispel on Magery Summoned Creatures.
  - This was a player recommended enhancement, as so many caster creatures cast Dispel often.
  - If Players keep their Bless Buffs cycled nicely on their Mage Summons, then the Dispel spell is completely nullified in battle, but if the Bless Buff drops, your summon will be Dispelled as normal.

• Rare Seeds were placed inside Garden Bags on the Garden Vendors by mistake.
  - These will be removed by end of day today, so stock up before they are gone!
  - As a reminder, Rare Seeds drops from stronger magical creatures, off Fishing mobs, and inside Treasure Chests.
  - We will continue to monitor drop rates, and expand them if we feel not enough Rare Seeds are in the world.
  - As another measure, we may consider selling Rare Seeds at Garden Vendor again for high prices, but this would be after trying to alter loot tables initially.

• Take a look at the new Gardening tool making waves in grasslands near you!
  - Gardening Scythe Demo = https://youtu.be/tFUXZwRIRpY

• Create Food spell now provides very minimal hunger restoration compared to very effective garden produce.
  - Grow rates from Seedling to Full Grown Plant are now 6 hours, down from 24 hours at launch (subject to change).
  - Plants atop their Garden Beds now give you the ability to Examine Plant (this will have future expanded information), as well as Destroy Plant.
  - Added the Gardening Scythe tool to Royal Gardener Walter O' Mathis at Lord British's Castle inside Britain, which can clear away grass inside your plot, making it far easier to tend your Gardens. The Gardening Scythe can also Kill Plants within your garden without having to interact with the Plant or Garden Bed.
  - All of these changes will be fully available after the next server restart.

• An issue has been resolved preventing players from dragging a button from the skill window to the hot bar

- Ocllo is set to become the farming capital of the world, and now has a cotton and wheat field to the south, a beekeeper, and will soon see more changes now that Gardening has been introduced.
- Magincia, city of pride, is becoming recognised as a centre of trade, and Crazy Carl has moved in and is willing to buy some new rare bits and pieces. He's still won't sell you anything.
- The guards around Nujel'm and Moonglow have managed to tighten their borders against the threat of hostile creatures surrounding their cities.
- All reagents can now be found in various parts of the world, depending on the reagent (see the Magery page on the wiki for locations)

  - Camping: Discover the wonderful world of Camping with exciting Campfire Regeneration Rates, Buffed Stat Bonuses from Tents, and Classic Instant Logout features when Resting. Be sure to read the Wiki and watch the tutorial video for Camping in the Wiki!
  - Hunger: Players will now be expected to eat something, occasionally, or take a -10 Stats Debuff until they are well fed. It will take approximately 10 in-game hours for a player to start feeling hungry again. Gardening produce is the most effective food at taking care of your hunger pains.
  - Drugs: Old Toby enters our world as a Common plant, but it will be the gateway drug to many more rare drug plants and eventually an expanded Drug Tolerance system, so partake in moderation! You can find the Smoking Pipe for Old Toby a high price from Walter O' Mathis, the Royal Gardener at Lord British's Castle, or simply ask a GM Fletcher to make you one for a lot less.

  - Secondary skills Surveying and Forestry have had their Mining/Lumberjacking skill-level prerequisites reduced from 80 to 30
