• An issue has been resolved preventing dead characters from using teleporters

• An issue preventing criminal timer from being refreshed during PVP combat has been resolved
  - Line-of-sight requirement for NPCs to call guards has been disabled for Stealing; normally the NPCs in town would wander around and change their perspective, making theiving more challenging and rewarding in some cases, but at this time the NPCs are set to not-wander, so we're doing this to balance in-town thefts until NPC wander has been re-enabled.

We are aware some folks have lost some house contents following the deployment of the 12/8 patch. We sincerely apologize for any losses that this caused. We do not take lost progress lightly and you should know that we're sorry it happened. We do our best to heavily test each change and take measures to prevent losses as best as possible. Occasionally unforseen circumstances do occur, and we normally do our best to recover from them. In this case we were unable to intercept the issue in time to perform a rollback and address it. We thank you for your support and understanding.

Bola Revert

• The most recent Bola changes have been reverted.
• This reduces the success chance to hit the target from 100% back to 66%.
• This also increases the cooldowns from 6s back to 10s.

Plot Deco Changes

• Can no longer decorate locked down objects rotating or moving them outside of the plot bounds.
• Items that are detected out of the bounds will be automatically moved back inside the plot.
• There is now a reasonable min/max limit on lowering/raising objects on a plot.
• NOTE: An autofix has occurred that checked all objects on plots to be out of bounds and has automatically moved offending items inwards towards the plot so not to be extending out of bounds; because of this, some of your decorations or fence pieces may need to be re-positioned.
• GARDENING NOTE: Plants from gardening now require users to be at least friend to use/harvest the plants due to the deco autofix.

Ban List

• Targets that are banned are now prevented from re-entering the plot automatically.
• New tab in the Plot Menu has been added to manage Bans.

Smelting, Milling, Scissors

• Salvaging has been redesigned from scratch to be more like UO.
• You should be able to salvage anything that can be crafted.
• To Smelt something simply double click a forge -OR- use the E ability on a Pickaxe.
• To Mill/Chop something use the E ability on a Hatchet.
• To cut cloth objects, use a pair of scissors.
• You can now salvage items that are on the ground, in your pack animal, or in your inventory, as long as you have access to pick it up.
• You can now salvage items bought from a town vendor, but will receive a greatly reduced amount of resources from them, and no chance to gain skill.
• You can now automatically attempt to salvage objects inside of a container, just target a container or yourself to choose backpack.
• Wooden & Wood Kite shields have been moved to Carpentry recipes and now use wood to craft and are salvageable.

Repairing

• Repairing of equipment will now be done via the crafting menu.
• Applicable crafting stations now have a "Repair" button in their menu.

Disguise Kits

• Thief Disguise Kit & Orc Body Kits have been optimized and should work much more reliably.
• Orc Body Kit is now blessed.
• Orc Body Kit will no longer become locked down on use.

Skinning

• Skinning has been redesigned from scratch to be more like UO.
• All bladed weapons and the skinning knife can be used to:
  • cut corpses to instantly create the meat/hides inside the corpse.
  • cut whole fish, on the ground or in our inventory, into fish fillets.
• Bladed weapons have "Toggle Default" option to set the default double-click action:
  • Use: double click and target something to skin.
  • Equip: double click to equip the weapon.
• Right-clicking a corpse, choosing harvest will check your inventory recursively for a blade to use to skin it.

Treasure Hunting

• Players will now be required to kill all monsters spawned from a treasure chest before being able to loot from the chest.

Claire the Pilgrim, found in Magincia, offers some of her festive wares for trade. Seek out festive turkeys in the Eastern Frontier for what she seeks. (Event runs until 01 Dec at 1200 EST)

The temporary 10% bonus to skills has now been concluded and the gain chance will be restored to normal soon.

• An issue has been resolved preventing players from removing clothing from their own vendors
  - An issue has been resolved with the clothing bless deed not working with 2019 Halloween handouts

Next Friday, Nov 8th, at a time to be determined, we will be applying a patch that will prevent players from moving/rotating locked down objects outside the bounds of their plot. At that time, an autofix will be applied detecting any pre-existing objects that are out of the plot bounds and moving them back inside the plot to a valid position. Please note that this may not neatly move objects and you may end up with breaks in fence lines if that occurs. Please take this time to analyze any decorations you may have extending past your plot bounds/lines and please move them back so that they are not overlapping.

Additionally, with the changes to lockdown location validation, we will also be adding the Ban List and Auto-Eject for plots. This will now properly track targets banned from a plot and prevent them from re-entering. A new tab to manage the bans has also been added to the plot menu. When a target is ejected from a plot, they are put near the mailbox, which is why it is important that we no longer have interconnected plots and over-extended decorations.

As part of LoU's Halloween events Danyc the Candy Goblin has arrived in Nujel'm. Check out areas around Gazer Isle, The Dunes, Scorched Print and Wyvern's Rest to acquired his much needed Halloween Candy! Danyc has various Halloween items to trade, but will only be in town until 1 Nov. Stay tuned for more Halloween announcements on Discord.

Since we are about to enter a new month, and with seeing the news of even more extreme weather and natural disasters happening around the globe every week, I wanted to remind everyone of our Vacation Hold policy.

If you are in any position where you cannot get to the game for an extended time, whether it be military deployment, natural disasters, or something else please reach out to us, and we can consider your request to put your house into a Vacation Hold to prevent it from decaying in the normal timeframe.

Some of these have been in for a little while.
- Travel Markers were mistakenly removed a while ago and have now been readded, and this time all mage NPCs have one for every town.
- Full spellbooks and runebooks are no longer available from event token vendors and Vela in Wind; this was forcing scribes to raise their begging skill.
