This is a regular update that contains important bug fixes as well as new features and balance changes. This has some major balance changes for Taijutsu and Weapon Master (Sword) Ninja, so I'm sending out another Stat Reset!

Balance

    For each perk level, increases gathering (Mining, Fishing, Woodcutting etc.) experience rate by 2.5%

  • Artisan Perk
    For each perk level, increases crafting (Forging, Weaving etc.) experience rate by 2.5%

Content

• New Common Drops
  
  Mobs across various regions have begun dropping new, more thematically fitting items tied to their environment and behavior. Meant to be used for upcoming crafting additions!

  • Added total of 24 new monster drops,

  • Wanderer Shirt is now obtainable,

  • Wanderer Shirt Recipe is now obtainable,

  • Increased Blood Puppet Mask crafting chance from 10% to 40%,

Features

• Ramps / Slopes
  Old "Stairs" System / New Ramp System

  This is a new feature that will allow us to create Ramps/Slopes that players can walk on smoothly to reach higher places. This is useful for us to create staircases and slopes for platforming in the game. These old stairs were done very hackily and you are constantly falling off of it. It'll feel much better going forward!

• Added Boss HP Bar Feature that uses a larger HP Bar for certain NPCs

• NPCs can now have multiple different chat bubble messages
  

• Scheduled Server Maintenances
  
  Server shutdowns and restarts can now be scheduled for a later time. While one is scheduled, it will appear as a warning on top of the screen for all players. Players will only not be able to login during the last 5 minutes before the server is shut down.

• (Devs) Blacklisted Maps for Items
  Ability for developers to add items that cannot be used in certain maps

• (Admin) Can now schedule server restarts for any amount of seconds
