| Awesome new head, armor, and weapon VFX models. More to come in the future. Fixed texture issues with some weapons. New weapon VFXs will be accessible through the chart below. We'll have a new crafting menu system in place in the next patch to scroll through
VFXs. (SGravley)
The ioun stone scripts have been completely rehauled. You shouldn't notice any change except iouns will persist through relogging and there's a new command to remove all active ioun effects. More changes to come with the new system.
Vestige buffs will now persist through relogging now that the old ioun system no longer interferes. *Shakes fist*
Tieflings no longer suffer the -2 racial cha penalty.
New Spire of Valor items can now be put into bags and the trash can, but still not sellable or wearable by another.
Spire of Valor deaths no longer take gold or log deaths in the character statistics.
Blood Apostle bugs fixed and class has been improved.
Crystal Cavern dungeon now connects to the Plane of Earth.
Blackguard summons make a little more sense, and follow law-chaos alignments.
Various bug fixes from last patch, including low-level quests.

| New Additions:
Character editing has been totally rehauled to the crafting menu. That means per-part item coloring is finally here. This new system allows a character to hide their helmets, adjust item appearance on the fly, and save dynamic character armor appearances to their character files. Those with access to the advanced editor part can also save and recall whole character appearances with one click. This will allow a class like shifter to instantly switch between pre-written static and dynamic appearances.
I'd like to introduce another brand new system that you can access through the crafting menu that tracks character statistics. At any point, you can see how many creatures you've killed of a specific type, or see how much healing you've done for your party. This system also tracks one of our new quest systems.
Planewalker's Guild - This huge new daily quest system has been implemented for all levels that will grant XP, gold, and rare prizes- including a small chance for artifact pieces. Other prizes are unique to the quest system, and this is the primary way to acquire vault keys now.
Being a low level can be a struggle, especially if you play odd hours and can't find a party. Due to this, I've shifted some party XP to a new quest system exclusively for low levels. You will find quest NPCs around Sigil, easily located via map pin that will grant various quests with an indicated level. In addition to this, nearly all low-level dungeons have all been put on a 30-minute reset timer, rather than 2 hours.
Vestiges of long-forgotten entities have been unearthed. Players will run across these 13 new structures spread out around the server. Using one will grant the character a permanent power boost that persists until death or server reset. Using another Vestige will replace the former bonus. In addition to this, characters below level 20 that use a Vestige will be rewarded 500 XP for each Vestige visited every server reset. This system will later tie into a Binder rework.
Five sacred weapons have been making a recent appearance in the hands of mortals across the Great Wheel. Each one is said to contain a legendary power unique to each weapon. Strife and conflict always seem to follow these weapons, as such creations are highly sought after. (This new system features unique weapons with scripted on-hit effects. Only one sacred weapon may be carried at a time, and dying anywhere but the Spire of Valor will automatically make the weapon drop at the location of death. Thanks to Cibernadie for writing up individual weapon lore.)
