GLASSBLOWING AND SAND

- Glassblowing goes hand and hand with Alchemy

- Glassblowing Book and Sand Mining Book's prices have raised a bit. 'Finding Glass-Quality Sand' and 'Crafting Glass With Glassblowing'. These can only be purchased from the Glassblower in Ver Lor Reg. You only have to buy them once and you have learned how to glassblow and how to mine sand, forever.

- You can now mine sand again. To dig up sand, simply double click a pick axe or shovel and target sand, along water coasts is a good bet. You will mine more sand in Felucca than Trammel. You can start mining sand when you have 100.0 mining. (But you must buy the book first)

- Sand for Glassblowing, besides mining, can now be gotten from Sand Vortexs & Sand Crabs. (Outside the Ver Lor Reg's entrance is a great spot for these)

- Sand is weightless

- Empty Bottles will no longer be sold by NPC's. You must use Glassblowing to make them, only takes 1 piece of sand. You also do not have to make them 1 by 1. Example: You simply can throw 400 sand in your backpack, click one button, will make 400 empty bottles.

- When you drink potions now, instead of it returning to an empty bottle, it will delete it's self.

- You can now make Ter-Mur style mirrors with glassblowing.

- You can now make Glass Fukiya and Glass Darts with glassblowing. These are like normal Fukiya's but you can shoot your enemy farther away, almost double, and they will also do a bit of damage for a nice kill shot.

- This is the start of glassblowing, I plan on adding much more to the future.

- Divine fury will uses a bit more mana, casting speed has slightly changed, but still feasable.




120 Lockpicking Quest!

- There is now a quest you can take to get to 120 lockpicking.

- See 'Sherlock the Master Locksmith' in Buccaners Den in Felucca. He will give you your first step.

- This quest will take you some time, depending, but it is the only way to get to 120 lockpicking on Pandora and to open level 7 treasure chests, which we are upgrading very soon.

- Keep note, that whatever character you start your quest on is the one that will receive the 120.0 skill lockpicking.



Tweaks

- Can no longer use blood oath in daily pvp.

- The known Resource Box bug should be fixed.

- Polar Bears are tougher and no longer tamable (has something to do with the lockpicking quest)

- More Sea monsters spawn on Posiedon's Beach

- Added more Ilshanar locations to moongate

- Guilds have been taken to lightly, people make them, delete them as they please. Instead of 25k to start one, now costs 500k. This will have people actually put thought into a guild, and have it worth something.

- Guild abbriviations, are goin from a max of 4 letters to 6 letters to have some more diversity.

- Added another Virtuebane Peerless in Tirot Skitas, Ilshinar

- Large Gargoyle's have been placed in various Gargish locations. They are the protectors of Ter Mur.

- Niporailem the Thief in Ter Mur's Tomb of Kings drops jewels/gems. (He's only thing besides Elementals and Treasure Chests)

- Krakens now drop between 1 to 5 Oceanic Coins. Randomly. But around 100 more Kraken spawns added to world, using a sea horse is the best way to find them.

- Around 500 more Sea/Oceanic monster spawns have been added all over Pandora. All of them will drop Oceanic Coins.

- Oceanic items prices have risen, but the more spawns and Kraken drops more than make up for it. The prices will adjust to lower prices within the next couple of days.

- Abyssal Infernal has been nerfed/weakened. The champ is now active in Ter Mur's Abyss dungeon. He is still hard, and you will need several of you. But gives powerscrolls, a lot of gold, chance of Relic Fragment(s). This is the only Champion, Powerscroll spawn in Trammel. PK Free.

- Added another rare Ice Steed spawn in Ilshenar.

- Bolas got a upgrade/tweak depending on how you look at it... * Bolas now weigh 47 stones each. (This will prevent carrying 20 on you) ** After throwing a bola and hitting a player with it, you will have to wait 1 minute to be able to throw another, as they are heavy and your arms get tired. *** The messages during bolaing have changed in text and color.

- Neria Champion had a bug where she was too easy to kill. This has been fixed.

- Added the new Treasure Chest artifacts to Revamped Artifact Room.

- Pandora Coins, Oceanic Coins, Pandora Bucks, and Sand are completely weightless

- Added the Gargoyle city 'Ver Lor Reg' to Ilshenar moonglow, along with other ones. This is the place you get Sand Mining and Glass blowing books.



- Much more coming soon
