We have published the following on TC1:

Surprise Attack: Min Skill now 60.

Backstab: Min Skill now 40.

Mirror Image: Min Skill now 20.

Spells that debuff a target such as Clumsy, Weaken, Curse, Mind Rot, etc. will now have a better chance to raise Resisting Spells skill at lower skill level

The Monks have returned to the Yew Winery to sell Monk Robes

SIEGE PERILOUS SHARDS ONLY:

The bonus to resists for exceptional armor creation on Siege Perilous and Mugen is 1% for every 12.5 points of Arm Lore. Maximum of 8% bonus resists (at Grandmaster Arms Lore).



New Haven Updates

Added several new NPE Quests:

- Tracking

- Archery

- Ninjitsu

- Fencing

- Hiding

- Stealth

- Mining

- Tinkering

- Blacksmithy

Rewards from the New Player quests have had their power adjusted. This change will apply to existing items as well as new items.

The mayor of New Haven, Amser, will now appear in New Haven. He will tell the player character a story

Added animal and mongbat spawns in Haven forests

Hamato, the Bushido instructor, will now buy and sell Bushido spellbooks.

The accelerated gain area spam has been replaced by a sound effect and a buff icon

Undead spawn in Old Haven has been increased and the difficulty adjusted

More Healers wander in Old Haven and the surrounding forests

Brigand camps have been spotted on the isle!

Lyle and Sadrah have survived the disaster and returned to New Haven

Shops in Haven have hung their signs

Escort quests are now available in New Haven



Bug Fixes

Players should no longer be able to complete a quest and get the quest reward if the item cannot be put in their backpack.

Soulstones cannot be used by a player who is currently undergoing one or more New Player skill quests.

Skills cannot be purchased while under the effects of an accelerated skillgain scroll or NPE quest.

Churchill is no longer a Mystic Llamaherder

The “Young Player Teleport” will now drop live players in the center of New Haven and dead players in the New Haven Healer Shop

Broken Haven Level 0 Treasure Map locations have been fixed.

Crafting items with Carpentry and Fletching Runic tools and special wood should give the correct result

New Player Quest reward items will no longer be blessed on Mugen

Spinning wheels and other interactable objects in New Haven will work properly

WTF was this for? To Make things easier? Or only to make things easier for new players to get the new "Newby Haven Items"??? This makes no sense, and will make things more difficult once past 50 Ninjitsu. The ONLY, and I mean ONLY, benefit for setting requirements where they are now is forcing players with Ninjitsu to train with Hiding/Stealth, but the damage has already been done and will only make new ninjas be required to use them.

Interesting, other than the yew HCI defect, what else was there?
