Version 8600:

(1) Player Portrait Pack Update:

Added 76 new portraits to our player portrait pack:

Dwarves: 9 Female ; 11 Male
Elves: 10 Female ; 11 Male
Halflings: 10 Female ; 11 Male
Human: 4 Female ; 10 Male

Many thanks to both @cpt_elrad_2nd and @SirWill360 , who contributed!

(2) Identify Spell Dead - Long live Lore:

We have changed the Identify spell to now be called Lore and allow you, much like Protection from Alignment, to choose what knowledge skill to boost.

In the case of Arcana/Nature/Religion, which require training - The spells will only boost your stats if you invested at least one point into them.

Many thanks to the amazing @TheMinionOfArabel for her artwork.

Version 8612:

Changelog:

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug that allowed certain subraces to gain too-good-to-be-true amounts of XP once they reaches level 10. Thank you @TheMinionOfArabel for reporting it

Blur/Barkskin/Shield in Prestige Stores:

The three potion packs were re-added back to prestige stores in a reduced amount than before and are more expensive, to ensure that the option exists to spend PP on these potions but crafting/trading will be more readily available for those willing to spend GP.

For quality of life I also made sure each potion pack has a different appearance.

Sendings:

Sendings will now be broadcast to both the #general and #sending-room channels. The latter will only have sendings in it and no other chatter to make browsing through sendings much easier.

Player Maps and Merchant Stalls:

Maps created by players can now be sold in Merchant Stalls. The fix should apply to both newly created maps and existing ones.

Asset Changes:

Added 50 new desert placeables per builders request
Added 24 new portraits for players to use:
- 1x Dwarf Male
- 1x Elf Male
- 4x Human Female
- 18x Human Male

New Feats Support:

Began infra work to prepare for addition of new feats. More on it upon release!

Trinity System Related Changes - Nodes:

Began laying foundations of mirroring the "Wild" aspect of Flora and introducing it into our Nodes subsystem as well. This will be used later by builders to have these unbound nodes spawn in quest areas randomly.

Strife and Discord

Version 8618:
