+New Loot system – The osi version carried a few too many flaws. Flaws written over 20 years ago and never looked at. Loot was bulky and based on some loot packs that were arbitrarily set to different monsters seemingly disregarding the monster’s strength.\\
+The new system – Magic property intensity as well as the number of items will vary depending on the monster level. \\
+All monsters will have the same chance to drop 0 to 5 magic properties.\\
+Player kill history is now working again. Each player will store all their kills as well as deaths and total damage.\\
+Players will only lose experience upon death if they already died from the same monster type 3 times before.\\
+Achievements System – There is now a large number of achievements that players can achieve. Just wonder around, kill some monsters, craft some items and they will surely pop up. There is also a new NPC in New Haven that will accept payment only in the form achievement points!\\
+Items:\\
+Added Skill Ball item. Fire Priest NPCs will sell them. They cost 100k gold and will offer an increase of 0.1 skill to any skill.\\
+Added Scroll of Knowledge. It drops from the Harrower. The scroll of knowledge will allow a player to access any 1 skill not normally available to them from their NPC Guild. This way a paladin can learn Necromancy, a Mage can learn bushido or a thief can learn chivalry. The item can be used multiple times, but it always overrides the last choice. \\
+Glenda flat damage increase is now 35.\\
+Contaminated Pure Water is now stackable.\\
+Increased Heavy Elven Quiver max weight to 100.\\
+Unidentified items will now store the level of the creature it was dropped from. The level will then be displayed on the item as a reference to the player as well as to whoever might want to buy it. If a player will want to pay an NPC to identify the item, the cost of identification will be higher based on the monster level it was obtained from.\\
+Monsters / AI:\\
+Barracoon and Tabnaram now give double exp.\\
+Lord oaks HP is now 5000.\\
+Travesty now has 100k hp.\\
+All monsters that were changed to use magery only instead of magery and necromancy are now fully functional and will once again cast their wonderful necro spells.\\

+Decreased base damage for greater dragons.\\
+Fandagh, Vregruk, Bottom feeder, Lekras Bonecall, Rauwar Rane, Saedmara, Streiza Morte will now have 2.5 times less chance of summoning creatures when using their special ability.\\
+Experience Calculations:\\
+Monster’s max HP is now worth more for experience calculation purposes. This affects mostly bosses. Fire breath was adjusted to give less exp (from 1.4 to 1.2 modifier) . Mobs that have strengths not calculated by the exp formula have an external modifier.\\
+Quality of Life:\\
+Players will now have their level and main profession displayed.\\
+Monsters will now have their level displayed. The level gets calculated on the spot and will vary depending on the individual’s strength. This means that depending on their stats, 2 monsters of the same type could have different levels and correspondingly different loot.\\
+Bugs:\\
+Fixed text in Thief Guild NPC quests.\\
+Fixed text in Guard/Paladin Guild NPC quests.\\
+Fixed text in Fire Mage Guild NPC quests.\\
+Fixed bug with experience calculation for monsters that had 0 damage.\\
+Fixed bug with Animate Spell raising monsters with higher level than intended.\\
+Fixed bug where Spellweaving spells were not castable.\\
+Armor Ignore can now be added to ranged weapons.\\
+Fixed bug with Ancient Hammers displaying wrong text in BOD reward gump.\\
+Crafting:\\
+New crafting requirements are now in. Items can now require the crafter to have Craft Magic Items of 1 or 2. Craft Magic item property can be gained only from the Artisan Profession.\\
+Artisan Profession’s 1st Craft Magic was moved to level 6.\\
+New craftable item was added to tinkering. It required Craft magic 1. It is called Tool Enhancing Orb and it will give any normal tool (non-runic / magic/ gargoyle etc…) + 50 usages. Meaning that you can just craft many of those orbs and use them only when you need them on the desired tool.\\
+Added Ancient Hammers up to +60 in BOD Rewards\\
+Added Heaven Runic Hammer in BOD Rewards.\\

+Hello everyone, there recent events has put the whole world in a state of emergency placing lots of stress on its citizens. Many countries placed full lock down, while others simply sent their staff home.
+This means that many will have lots of spare time and as such, for the foreseeable future, we will have 2 x Experience!
+Also, the virus seems to have infected our world as well: The creatures in Felucca, Destard, Ice and Covetous completely overran the place. There seem to be a lot more of them!
+----
+==== Patch 4.1 ====
+I am very pleased with this patch. I hope you will like it too!
+Item type dropped will now be based on the experience the monster will give.
+This will ensure that as you progressively kill stronger monsters, you will get equipment that will require more stats and it will also mean that new players don’t have to scratch their head looking at heater shields that require 200str :).
+Paragon, Enraged, ML (Named monsters) artifact drop chance has been altered to use the monsters experience instead of fame. Fame was never a reliable number to begin with. Some really strong named monsters had low fame and some weak monsters had high fame. This lead to very silly artifact drop %.
+Gave Abscess fame and karma (it had none)

+In the last year, we have been trying to streamline the character progression. This was done by the following:\\
+. Adding a lot of new normal quests.\\
+. Main story line quest.\\
+. Daily repeatable quests.\\
+. Increasing monster loot tables so that magic items are available to lower level characters.\\
+Currently, other issues came up such as increased difficulty to level up after lvl 50, not enough players around to party with and lack of base gear to help with increased difficulty in monsters that people want to fight after a specific level.\\
+We are following the same pattern be changing the following:\\
+. An enraged version of monsters will have a chance of spawning whenever you kill most mobs. They are stronger in a few ways, but mostly just have more HP. This means that killing them should simply take longer, but the fight will not be much harder. These monsters will have a small chance to drop artifacts and will have a significant experience boost. This should help players get stronger before being able to kill the vanilla bosses.\\
+. As magical monsters have been a huge part of the problem why people have a hard time progressing, all armor has now been given a default amount of elemental resistance. Even the weakest of armor such as leather gloves will give an extra 4 total resistance. Considering there are 7 armor spots (including the shield), even the weakest of armor sets will provide an additional 28 resistances, while the strongest up to 92!\\
+. Reduced experience required to level up after level 50. All characters will simply have their new level applied when they log in. This should result in free 2-4 level ups.\\
+. Due the relatively low population on the server, we dont always have a large amount of players in the same level group. Increasing the 0 penalty level gap should allow for more people to get together. Party gap is being increased from 10 levels of no penalty to 15.\\
+Example: A level 35 player in party with a lvl 55 player will now get 50% of the experience. Used to be 0%.
+A level 50 Player in party with a lvl 65 player will now get 100% of the experience. Used to be 50%.\\
+Please do remember that the experience is calculated based on who did most damage. So if the lower level character did most of the damage he will get 100% of the exp all the time, while the higher level player that will get the reduced amount.\\
+. Parrying skill applies a very large penalty if the character has less than 80 dex. As players here struggle to get it so high in the early levels without having to sacrifice too much strength, the DEX penalty for parrying was reduced to 60.\\
+. Many crafters starting on this server don’t fully understand the system and how to progress, specificaly because they can only start gaining experience by using the resources they gathered. In order to give them a helping hand, resource gathering skills such as Lumberjacking and mining will now randomly give between 0 and 2 experience per use.\\
+. Power Scrolls are dream items as they should be. However, it has been too long since a group of people were able to defeat the easiest of champion spawns. Due to this, Barracoon has had his life reduced by 6000hp and damage reduced from 29-38 to 22-32. Happy hunting!\\
