Bug Fixes:

https://nodebb.cityofarabel.com/topic/64312/merchant-stall-signs-not-showing-name-of-store

New Additions - Merchant Stalls:

Added support for Merchant Stall Signs to be in different areas than the stall NPC, so builders can place them outside shops
Added the ability to terminate your contract with a Merchant Stall. You can read more details about it HERE

Strife and Discord

Version 8261:

Freaks:

As of this version we have expanded our definition of what is a "freak" to include also characters with below average Charisma score.

NPCs and especially merchants will give a much colder shoulder to those below average Charisma characters now
NPC Merchants will be harder to gain appraise victory against with a below average Charisma
Merchant Stall Owners will have harsher rules on below average Charisma characters

Strife and Discord

Version 8264:

alt text

As of this version we are rolling out a tweak to the Sorcerer's refresh mechanism, which was discussed first with the playerbase HERE prior to implementation.

What can you expect?

Refresh will now be broken to timers per each of the circles (0-4) as opposed to a single one timer until now. Each timer will be different, taking longer to refresh the higher the circle is
In addition we have also added a brand new NUI widget just for Sorcerers: Spell Refresh Gauge - It will allow you to:
- See how much time remains to refresh each of the circles
- How many spells/slots got refreshed
- By default it will appear at the left edge of your screen but you can move it or minimize it as you see fit

V8265

Fixed some bugs
Implemented some crafting suggestions based on feedback from players who are using it
- Replaced any remaining generic enchanting oils with the new ones (minor, lesser, basic, etc.) This affects the costs of some recipes (some higher, some lower). as always report any issues.
- Crafting shops: removed old enchanting oils, replaced with new ones in shops that needed them
- Wood/Tailor/Bonecraft Shop: added items needed for bone charms (gem dusts, boar fat, ichor, ortrant fragments); added bone glue in bulk box (10)
- Tinkering Shop: reduced cost of alchemical reagents by 10% (except lesser, it's still 10g)
Fixed XP markers in the Mysterious Glades
Minor description edits for area messages
Made some edits to the Sticky Building quest. Boss was always spawning in the same room instead of a random room. Maybe he'll be random now. Report if he doesnt spawn or if other weird stuff happens!
