Patch Notes List

Map marker icons have had an optimization pass and have been re-enabled. Just a heads up that we may need to further optimize or change the way the map marker icons appear but will try this for now.

• Fixed an issue with being able to apply poison from a potion that has been moved outside of your inventory
• Prevented CAPTCHA from occurring too often while harvesting
• Removed mobs from spawning while harvesting due to CAPTCHA being enabled

• Macro system re-enabled & window will now only show once instead of refreshing every time a macro repeats
• Issue with Stablemaster "Retrieve pet out of range" option has been resolved once more, this update was due to go out previously but mistakenly was not applied, now it is
• Issue with freshly tamed pets not attacking their targets has been resolved
• Fixed an issue with Young status not being ended when committing a criminal action
• Fixed issue with "your X will break soon" happening prematurely
• Prevented ability to resist beneficial spells, especially when casted on thyself
• Fixed issue with trees not regrowing in a timely manner in some cases

Warriors, rejoice! The Colosseum has moved to its new and permanent location, an island just outside of Buccaneer's Den. While it will be used for PVP server events, it is also intended to be a general use area for consensual, non-faction PVP. Thus, the following rules will take effect in the area after the next restart:

1. Combat and murder actions will not flag as criminal on the island. You will not receive murder counts on the island.
2. If a red is killed on the island, their next immediate resurrection will be free. Short term murder counts will not reset, and the free res does not apply if you were killed anywhere but on the island.
3. You cannot mark runes at or recall to the island. Teleporters are up at Britain Bank and Buccaneer's Den moongate.

Full loot is in effect on the island, so tread lightly. For those brave enough, glorious combat awaits!

• Fishing will no longer yield anything more than basic fish or loot while inside of town
• Plant harvesting amount has been adjusted and we will continue to improve spawns if needed
• An issue with clicking on a news notification from the list not opening the appropriate article
• Fixed system message showing when using runebooks referencing "a recall rune"
• Summoned creatures should now properly decay if they have lost their owners
• Fixed an issue with stealing from a stack causing multiple items to pile up in your inventory

• Ankhs should now resurrect Red players in the world.
• Buccs Den now has more Red Wandering Healers that are spread out across town.

Patch notes for Test Center are being kept track of here: https://forums.legendsofultima.online/d/28-test-center-patch-notes

• Fixed stackables not stacking when dropping objects onto containers directly
  - Added prevention for dropping objects to healthbars, this is not intended
  - Added prevention for mounting pets you cannot control over 30 difficulty
  - Removed ability to use Stack Contents on containers within player vendors
  - Fixed some stationed guards not responding to combat
  - Added prevention for using Forensic Eval against invalid corpses, or corpses that are part of the world
  - Added Vendor Glue so vendors will stop wandering for short duration while players interact with them

The Vorpal Easter Bunny that spawns when opening an easter egg nest was not intended to be tameable and they have been updated to reflect that, and any existing tames removed. Subsequently, if you had tamed and stored one on a pet broker, the pet broker should now be updated as well. Sorry for the confusion! We'll try to be more careful about things like this in the future. grimacing

An issue was resolved with using the Restock Reagents option with town vendors, if they are sold out of one or more of the items, causing players to be charged without receiving items. Please let us know if you encounter any other issues with the vendors.
