* weaponsmith: changed the min skill spread to -5 to 40% for plain weapons. (Which becomes 10-55 for silver and 25-70 for blackrock, meaning you can get to 90 by making blackrock+0 machetes)
* armourer: changed the min skill spread to 0 to 45% for plain armour. (Which becomes 15-60 for silver and 30-75 for blackrock, meaning you can get to 95 by making blackrock+0 field plate)
* tailoring: belt now min skill 25. spiked collar 50. All other plain leather items now min skill increased to between 27 and 45
* studded/steel skill requirement is now +20 (was +30) (ie if plain thing req 10 skill, studded or steel variant req 30 skill)
* alchemist can now make darkhide leather at min skill 70 (req br ore + leather)
* alchemist can now make goldhide and silverhide leathers at min skill 35 & 40. (Don't ask where you get gold ore from)
* treated blackrock ore now only req 1 of each blackrock, drag scales, mandrake, nightshade
* nightshade req for the venom mats in alchemy down to 2, was 4
* 1500 fancy map rule tweak: it still requres apoc dungeon or heroic or epic, but scrapped the blacklist 'too easy maps' (such as cassandras) - so (forexample) the mino chief in epic cassandras, if a boss, actually has a chance to drop a crystal map (because he would have 1500hp)
* increased wurm hp to 750 (and increased xp) so bosses have a chance to drop a rad map
* decreased rarity of gems in buried treasure
* fixed a typo in npc chat

A lot of updates required for the manual.

Newbie crafters will never understand the struggle oldies had to GM their crafting. Yeah for QoL updates!

[eggmceye]

I did the manual already

[Onyxt]

I don't play like I used to, but love seeing updates still after all these years. You rule Max.

[EmoMage]

Yeah, what he said.

edit: or she? i don't fucking know anymore these days

[Onyxt]

[EmoMage]

Thanks mate, I dunno. I still like working on it

* clones of plain polymorphed dragon (The khaki dragon) now come with the spells VF, INH and AQ (and NOT clone)

[LaughingCoyote]

EUO/Moa 1.3.45
Necros:
* hexblades can use wallop. hexblade wallop incflicts disease for 6 sec
* healing bolt now heals 20% of yr max hp per bounce (so up to 60% max hp)
* slowed down the anims for hail of bones, blood & glass
* network tweaks to help with HOB lag
* HOB cd up to 10 sec, but dmg up 10%

Very late feedback, but hexblade necro's are very viable now with the changes. Disease + wallop makes them a lot less squishy.

[eggmceye]

finally some good news

* xen mani now just does 10-20 dmg vs vamps. vas xen mani does 5d5+level/2 (which is about 50% more than fg for the same mana cost) vs vamps
* rabbit mount now req lvl 50, drake lvl 75
* WoT & druid ench xfer spell no longer destroy a socketed gem

[eggmceye]

* can search for nightshade any midnight (but achievement unchanged)
* lvl 15 treasure maps no longer drop from fishing
* blessed lvl 15 treasure maps drop as loot, and contain much improved treasure (inc polished gem & 1/3 chance to get an artifact)
* ettins less likely to spawn when digging up treasure

[Keighn]

Regular lvl 15 maps can still be found on mobs though right?

[eggmceye]

apparently! (I'm still fluffing around with the details)

[SpekkoF]
