New Solo Quest is in the module Reeking Sewers, located in Arabel Sewers; while a solo quest, caution is advised as its risk and reward are both a little better than the usual for these.
Rebalanced almost all our summons except the Shadows (on the to do list). Many of these were just out of whack with power-level, mostly the result of people tweaking them here and there without good controls on what was being done. So some (fire elementals) were demonstrable worse across the board than others (reptiles).
Now the summons are all balanced against a "median" theme which is the default Animals. Summons may be 10-20% on certain categories, or have unique powers, immunities, weaknesses - but they all keep a little closer to that baseline so they're better balanced. They are not equal and some are better than others particularly in specific situations.
We'll track everything here (this is a mess of a database for Summons so far because I was using it just for myself but do want to share all the details with players, BOLD indicates a change to the existing stats). We're open to any and all feedback on these changes.
In the future, there are two simple rules to remember:
NO SPITTING.
DO NOT CROSS MISTER MOLOCH.

If you wander the module, you may discover some druid glades are available.
These glades work on the prestige system, so as you empower them, you will see definite results as they grow due to your care and attention. While druids and rangers will likely have the most to do with these glades, there are some things available for other classes as well - particularly if you're inclined to nature.
They may be a little buggy; I have certainly never tried to use our prestige system quite this way. Especially the Seelie/Unseelie Glade. If something seems very off, let me know via a Bug Report asap. :) Otherwise, enjoy! I'm already off on the next fun project.

Wyvernwater Underwater Updates
There's more to explore in the Wyvernwater: Underwater Area now, the sea elf village has gotten an update and now there are two quests in the area you can go through. The first is an updated version of the Sirene's Sister with improved loot and enemy varieties. The second is a brand new quest for you all to do.
You can now swim from Immersea to the Deep Dives, with more hidden treasures to find along the way and new threats to encounter. Some of the goal here was to turn the sea elf village into a local hub for underwater adventures and exploration.
Expect some other minor changes and additions over the course of the next week to these areas; but this is going to be the bigger stuff. We're open to any feedback to help improve these, or any other areas in the module designed for exploration and adventure.

8942v
Did revisions to the Hateful Child; improved variety of spawns, adjusting the quest to have many mobs of undead like its had - but balancing those encounters to be hard rather than a set of overwhelming waves of undead.
There is now more variety of enemies, a map that is easier to navigate and view, and a more interesting final encounter with a buffed up boss who doesn't go down before the entire party even realizes he's there fighting.
Iron Golem Poison has killed a lot of people via lack of knowing how it works; now when you fail your first saving throw you should get a floating text over your head warning you that you've been coated in a toxic poison that will kill you if you do not take action quickly.
Fixed a bunch of bugs, many of them in the druid glades. These should be working as intended now with a few more things showing up as prestige rises for them.

We finally got around to a Hullack Forest redesign; the original area, players said was hard to navigate, difficult to see foes, and just very large without much really in any of the areas. So its all one area now (big still) but one area. There's still polishing to come with the area, little things like plantable trees and garden spots are not in yet but will come along down the road.
The yaun-ti quest in there has been revised and updated. The Storm no longer affects this part of the Hullack but you can reach an edge where its clear the Storm has and always did blow so dangerously no one goes beyond that point. Just play it like its always been this way, the Storm originally wasn't suppose to affect the entire Hullack because we always planned to use this as an excuse to revise it.
As always open to suggestions and ideas to make this area even more fun to explore.

V8951
Tent kits now work
Campfires and tents now do more to slow the freeezing effect of the storm.

v8952
Made changes to how magical mushroom hallucinations/visions work.
You can now drink alcohol to temporarily become immune to the hallucinations.
Drinking one drink gives you 2 minutes of immunity to the hallucinations.
This is mostly so people can

B: Rest -
v8958
Allows for quickslots to be cycled using a new UI element
Left and right arrow cycle through quick slot sets.
Having the L button active (yellow underline) will load as soon as you change set.
Having it unselected, just changes the number.Hitting S, will save your current quick slot layout, to the currently selected numbered set for later loading.
This can be closed using the X, or minimised using the arrow on the title bar.
You can re-open it using your Quick slot Token (everyone gets one now - upon being granted it, it saves your current quick slots to set 1)

v8961
You can buy spell books from the merchant in the noble district, when you own one, examining it will bring up an interface to save and load spell load outs. Each book can have 12 load outs saved in it, you can name the load outs by editting the text next to the load and save buttons, then saving.
Books are unique, so you can have several.
You can rename spell books in the same way you can rename bags
Use the PC Mode Switch to target them, and type.rename NEWNAMEHERE
The books are real items that can be traded or stolen, not OOC items.
They are only useful to:
Cleric
Druid
Paladin
Ranger
Wizard
