BALANCING/ADJUSTMENTS

• WOODCUTTING AND MINING REBALANCE:
  
  ○ Goal: Grant Woodcutting and Mining levels more frequently and allow the player to gather more resources faster, while also incentivising players to harvest resources that are at their Woodcutting or Mining level.
  ○ Woodcuttting/Mining Level Progression changes: Shifted all resource level requirements to be higher than before - but also dramatically increased the EXP you gain from harvesting them. The amount of Woodcutting/Mining EXP the resources grant you should be paced much better than before, with higher level resource granting much more EXP!
  ○ Resources: You have a base bonus loot chance of 15%. The higher your level relative to the harvestables level increases the bonus chance! For example - if you're level 30 Woodcutting and you chop down a level 1 tree (Pine trees), you have nearly 50% chance to earn bonus loot with each hit! You also now gain between 1-3 extra resources for bonus loot hits. This should help lessen the grind for basic materials, especially if you're a high level in the repective harvesting skill.

  ○ Changed the way events are selected, allowing for specific areas to recieve unique events (will be usefull when new kingdoms are added!)

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS: VALENTINE'S DAY CONTEST & ODD JOBS

• Tavern Bouncer by KingYaga
  The bandits are drunk, causing problems and don't wanna leave....make them.
  
• Local Witch Calls in Sick by Spanks Masterson
  The local witch's coven is gathering for their seasonal potluck but Esmerelda would much prefer to go on a picnic with her boyfriend instead. She can't call in sick AGAIN so she begs you to help. Since the coven needs 13 witches to make a quorum (and she's the 13th) you'll need to put on her creepy hooded cloak and attend in her place. Since the cloak is rather voluminous, they'll never know it isn't her. All you have to do is take a place in the circle for the opening ceremony and then you can leave. Easy money.
  
  Issue: After the player takes a place in the circle they discover that the witches are summoning an incubus for Becky's bachelorette party. Surprise! Sadly, the player doesn't do their part to help (they have no clue what to do) and as such the witches summon a significantly less friendly demon. The coven decides that the bachelorette party is over and teleports away, leaving the player to deal with the monster.

AN ARROW TO CHASE THEM ALL 🏹

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS: OVERWORLD EVENTS 🌍

• Peasants Under Attack by Iskenos
  It's a dangerous world out there! Enemies set ambushes for the harbinger all the time, why wouldn't they ambush traveling civilians or even merchant caravans? They totally would! This overworld event would be stationary. If the Harbinger chooses to participate: They can choose if they want to help the civilians for the warm fuzzy feeling you get inside for protecting the weak and get a nice reputation bonus in the nearby settlement(s) and potentially a reward in the form of gold and loot! OR The harbinger can choose to viciously murder the civilians with the help of the "bad guys" and get a cut of the spoils! Or you could just kill everyone if you're feeling extra chaotic today!
  
  
• Cultist Ritual by NotsoNecro
  You come across a group of Necromantic Cultists trying to summon a lich. You can either watch and let the ritual play out, getting to fight a beefy Lich miniboss, or you can clear through all the cultists for some basic loot.
  
  
• Night Creatures by Sharark
  Meetings for those who like to play as a monster hunter: Vampires, Werewolves, Ghouls, Witches, Hellhounds, Ghosts, Trolls, etc...
  
  
• Traveling Merchants by Eclipse
  Like a group of traveling merchants that sell basic items, think potions, arrows, bullets, and things like that, but there's a chance that they also have unique weapons and/or pieces of armor.
  
  
• Druid's Grove by Azirin
  Adding in a druids grove where the player could do some druidic studies or play a racing mini-game (give the player a potion of mouse or have the druids cast rabbit on them upon accepting the race). Have the reward for completion be a bit of extra Druid exp or harder to find food components.
