moa patch 0.89
* ships revision 1 - real working ships are done (of course there is room for improvement) - a bunch of ships will drop for a while, so good luck finding one
* books

bugs fixed:
Derinda in the university says "... but of course, every knows that."
There's a ladder in Mountain Pass at 5 2 that says "s" when you go down it.
continent seam bugs (except vog bounce across seam)
222 not unloading (debunked)
fixed grateful dead spamming aep by giving them GP too
added some more boss names for the new mobs
when you have bad breath and run up to or by a boss monster, it says "The <boss name> flees" or whatever even before you hit it.
if you kill a boss monster in one blow than you will never learn the monster's name.
First hit on a un-id'd boss - A packet shows generic name, not boss name.
re-added death messages to client regardless of whether combat messages are supressed
hidden combat messages: still shows when you do a special (errors are still shown regardless of combat message supression) - also spell/ability still shows but the the server side messages are suppressed
[];' laptop / non english keyboard bug
aep & xj subject to pvp / non-pvp checks

It is a great addition - finally some of my longest convo's might actually make sense ;)

Do you still need feedback?

Gives the lvl req. for Unidentified items, defeats the purpose of buying and iding when you can look a the lvl require and find out that Heikki is selling 3 +19 stat items, a +20, and a +12 (possibly vig item) and they are fairly high prices, which I would expect something good from Heikki's unided items but to pay that much for +20 max isn't that great.

changes:
orbs break too often (orbs now break on death - thx to whoever suggested that)
added guards to Braemere, Cam Keep on reg - added guards to all towns on PD and NG

bugs fixed:
When you polymorph into a dragon (VYR), you're able to equip weapons/items if they are bound to a key. (disabled)
If you're mounted when you transform to a werewolf you stay mounted. (fix: you now auto-unmount)
You can also polymorph while on a horse (fix: auto unmount)
You can keep crafting with shift-F11 after changing into a werewolf. (fix: disable crafting for wolfes, drags, para and sleep)
If a mage casts an offensive spell with a barbed weapon that isn't a staff (sword, axe, etc..) equipped, the spell has a chance to cause bleeding. (fixed for venom, barbed, addled & inflict-status)
studded sewing kit got renamed to steel sewing kit ( fixed that and fixed boiled/copper sewing kit too )
If you open a town portal on an item you can only see the item, not the portal. (fixed)

Nooo!! That's a feature, not a bug! What about all those future battle mages out there who want to be casting with swords and pikes?

Tree ents giving less xp makes sense. They did give a whole lot. But now they also take way longer to kill since we don't have the attacking speed bonus of our mounts.

But, I think that you went a little overboard with the xp reduction. I can lure every tree ent on Maeondir and get about 3%, maybe 4%. Clearing Minotaur Halls is now more effective than killing tree ents, which kinda defeats the purpose of having Maeondir around. I really don't want to dig up a quote, but wasn't it made to be a more effective alternative to the people who would be reverse clearing mino halls at level 40-60?

I think it should just be checked out and they should be given a bit more xp. I mean, as a reward for completing the quests that it takes to get to Maeondir, the fighters that CAN'T train anywhere else deserve a few tree ents or other monsters that they can actually effectively train on.

Well you asked for it - all xp revised - golems (and precious tree ent) went up, many went down.

I thought golems filled this hole?
