• Bugfix: Duplicate sizes in missions and some other places have been fixed, such as “small small mauls” or “large large anvils”.
  

• You can now set minimum allowed quality in the container, the maximum, or both, by right-clicking the container, then clicking “Permissions” followed by “Set Quality Lock”.
  
• The highest minimum quality you can set is now determined by the quality level of the lock, rounded up to the nearest whole number. Previously, the lock quality was rounded down.

• New: Added the ability to quench hot items in liquid to cool them down.
  
• New: A new item, the large pantry cupboard, has been added to make storing your food ingredients easier!

BETTER EVENT MESSAGES AND PLAYER FEEDBACK

• These currently include: Progress of moving your bank, and how much time until you can: Change village, change kingdom, change religion, pray for Faith, pray/exorcise at a Holy Site, give a sermon, receive an Alignment change, meditate for skill, use a meditation path ability you have, and receive your next meditation question.
  
• These timers will not be displayed if they are irrelevant to your character. For example, you will not see the “Sermon” timer if you are not a priest, will not see the “Faith” timer if you are at maximum Faith, and will not see timers for abilities you do not have.
  
• These timers are controlled by the server and consider all possible factors affecting the next time you can perform the action. For example, the “Faith” timer takes daily limits, daily server Faith reset times, and resets from sermons into account.
  
• To avoid clutter, some of these timers will not be displayed at all unless a cooldown period is actually active at some point during your play session. These include bank movement, changing village/deity/kingdom, and receiving Alignment changes.
  
• These timers can be hovered over with the mouse to display a description. For timers with a maximum amount associated with them, like Faith gains per day, the amount you have left will also be shown.
  
• To hide one of these timers, right click the timer, hover over its name, and click “Hide”. Even if hidden, the timer’s current time can be viewed by right clicking anywhere on the Timers panel and hovering over “Show hidden timers”. Clicking the name of the timer in this list will unhide it.
  
• A sound will now play when any running timer finishes.
  
• For clarity, finished timers will now display their text in a different font color, preset and custom timers have differently colored progress bars, and paused/stopped custom timers have their progress bars darkened.
  
• Some minor display bugs have been fixed and minor changes made to formatting of time remaining.
  

• Messages received when approaching a server edge with no valid destination
  
• Mining error/warning messages
  
• Messages received when a mission expires or succeeds on a server that does not have Valrei enabled
  
• Flattening/Leveling/Digging error messages
  
• Dyeing/Painting error messages
  
• Added a warning message when trying to use Strongwall to collapse a tile on top of a highway
  
• Highway-related error mesages when using highway markers. Options are also shown in the right-click menu under more circumstances, so that a failure message can be shown.
  
• Items that previously lacked a size description are now given a size of “medium” if they otherwise have the same name of a larger or smaller item with the same name. This affects mauls and maul heads, axes and axe heads, shields, and colourful carpets.
  
• Unstrung bows now have the word “unstrung” in their names. This includes mission descriptions. For consistency, some messages and descriptions also now read “unstrung” instead of “unstringed”.
  
• The medium-sized bow, previously simply called “bow”, is now called “reflex bow” for clarity.
  
• Bee noise messages are no longer triggered by domestic bee hives inside settlements.
  
• The “potion” item received from sacrificing items at an altar has been renamed to “greenish potion” and the description tweaked.
  
• Meditating when you cannot gain skill now shows a warning message along with the time you will next be able to gain skill. This time is also displayed at the end of a meditation action that does have a chance to gain skill.
  
• A special message will be shown when reaching maximum Faith (100 for priests, 30 for followers or non-Premium).
  
• When gaining Faith from prayer or Holy Site exorcism actions, the time until you can next gain Faith by doing so is displayed in a message, along with how many prayers per day you have left.
  
• A message is also given when preaching resets your prayers per day counter.
  
• Messages about having high enough Characteristics to be able to attack other players or steal from them will no longer be shown on PVE servers.
  
• Examining a quality-locked bulk container will now show the minimum quality of items that can be placed inside it.
  

• Some typos have been corrected when dyeing/painting items.
  
• When the item (or secondary part, such as a sail) is made of a soft material like cotton or leather, the action is always called “dyeing” and lye is used to remove it, otherwise the action is always called “painting” and a metal brush is used to remove it.
  
• Dragon armor no longer has a “remove colour” option that does nothing if you right-click it with a metal brush activated.
  

SERVER CHANGELOG

• Bug fix: Wax sealing kits now have their quality and damage set properly when a container is unsealed.
  
• Bug fix: Placing a smaller item on a larger item (such as an anvil), then picking up the larger item, will no longer cause the smaller item to appear to be on the ground again if a change is made to it while in your inventory, such as cooling down or being renamed.
  
• Bugfix: Dyeable carpets now show “dye trim” as the option for dyeing the secondary part of the carpet. Which part of the carpet is the base and which is the trim has also been fixed for large flower carpets, small colourful carpets, and large colourful carpets. Colour of existing items has not been changed.

• Bug fix: Holy site backlash creature spawns now spawn around the target player instead of some other location very far away.
  
• Bug fix: Corrected a jumbled message when multiple holy site backlash creatures are spawned around someone nearby.
  
• Bug fix: Holy site backlash damage effects now give messages appropriately, specify which body part they hit, and their effects (such as bleeding) function properly.
  
• Bug fix: Bleeding effect power is now properly updated in the spell effects bar/window when it is reduced over time by bleeding.
  
• Bug fix: Fixed visual effects not starting properly for players inside a holy site when it is first activated.

• Change: Fo holy sites now spawn creatures twice as often as other holy sites. This only affects normal timed creature spawns, not creatures spawned due to backlash effects.
  
• Change: Holy site spawning should now heavily prioritize whichever type of holy site does not exist on that server for that particular deity. For example, if a Fo holy site is being spawned, and a Sampo exists on the server but not a Wishing Tree, it will be extremely unlikely to spawn a second Sampo, and extremely likely to spawn a Wishing Tree instead.
  
• Change: Event tab messages from holy site pulse and expiration will now be alert colored instead of normal colored.
