updates to Misrim Estate
bug fixes
Halfhap Quest: fixed issues with trigger/variations on the theme; Adjusted the shortcut trigger to be easier to see
sent Santa & Co. back to storage until next year
religious shops now have conversion books for clerics to use with their converts. DO NOT ABUSE THESE BOOKS!
updated scripts for familiars (all 110 creatures!). Please do a bug report if your familiar no longer works or starts doing weird stuff!
Crafting
- Edited several scripts related to crafting to send messages only to the mining PCs rather than everyone nearby. This should make it less annoying for the people who arent doing the mining.
- Also edited the gem mining script so that it will only tell you that your noise dispelled your invisibility IF you were invisible to start with and not on every single mining attempt

Edits to prestige values on items found on quests.
Last time I did updates, I used the "sell for" formula and a lot of items had way too many points on them.

Also, fetch/delivery quests are either 4-6 or 4-7. See Quest List post.

VERSION 8023:

Raise Dead and Resurrection Cost Reduction:

After a discussion within the Admin team, it was decided to heed the feedback of the player base and reduce the costs for both Raise Dead and Resurrection services handed out by NPCs:

Raise Dead price tag lowered from 5000gp to 3500gp
Resurrection price tag lowered from 10000gp to 7500gp

The team of course reserves the right to make additional changes and tweaks to balance in this area

BI Event Support Related work:

We are beginning to roll out an initial test at recording player actions in the form of BI(Business Information) events. This saved data will be used to provide the team with insights of overall trends so that it can make informed data-driven decisions.

Once the work is more mature we will share screenshots of our less confidential dashboards, we promise!

Bug Fixes:

Change Log:

Protection from Alignment(Law/Chaos/Evil/Good) was changed to be less godly, and no longer gives Mind spells immunity. Spell description also changed to reflect it:

When this spell is cast, the caster chooses a target to be protected from chaos, evil, good, law, or neutrality. The target receives a +2 deflection bonus to AC and +2 to all saving throws.Instead of the vanilla mind immunity, a bonus to the saving throw to any mind-affecting spells and spell-like abilities used by creatures of the chosen alignment is granted:

Caster Level 1-7 grants +5 bonus

Caster Level 8+ grants +10 bonus (does not stack with +5 from level 1-7)

Spell Focus: Abjuration grants +2 bonus

Greater Spell Focus: Abjuration grants +5 bonus (does not stack with +2 from Spell Focus: Abjuration)

Specialist Wizard (Abjuration) grants additional +5 bonus
