As we continue to push through the overhaul we're making corrections to
various abilities and skills. The following changes are going to be live
shortly:

Archtype changes:

Bards: New instrument - Guitar.

Druids: Now require high magic to learn.

Guardians: If you get five of them out in an aethership, they become
Guardians of the Aetherspace. No mechanical changes but it's a cool
title you can give yourselves for free, you're welcome.

Knighthood: Now renamed "Warrior" considering nearly everyone calls them
that. We're just playing catchup here.

Mages: Now require low magic to learn.

Monks: We attempted to delete them, but as many have noted, they're too
overpowered and resisted our efforts. Sorry.

Warrior: Renamed Knighthood.

Wicca: Fixed a typo that has existed since concept, and caused a glaring
miscommunication, now changed to "Wicker." Skills will be changed to
reflect the archtype's expertise in basket weaving.


Skill and Skillset changes.

Aeon: Now comes with a toggle, Aeoff. We're not sure what it actually
does yet, if anything.

Choke: After much deliberation we've decided to add choke after the
passionate arguments of several of you. However, it only seems fair
everyone gets it. CHOKE away.

Crucify: We toyed with a few ideas here but couldn't quite nail
anything.

Full: Now allows for a rather impressive belch afterwards, undoing the
top button on your trousers, however, remains completely optional.

High magic: Renamed low magic, all skills reworked to appropirately suit
this.

Inquisition: Now also sends copy pastes of winning prestige books to
your target's screen. Nobody expects the spammish inquisition.

Low magic: Renamed high magic, all skills reworked to appropriately suit
this.

Reality: Now reminds anyone hit by it that they're only playing
Lusternia, not actually living in it.

Static Field: Now a suitably hair raising experience.


Other changes.

An arena has been created for Aetherspace combat. This already existed
but we just wanted to remind you it's there.

After much deliberation we've decided to unpeace the Aetherplex.

Guitars: Deleted.

The following entities have had their damage adjusted slightly to be
more in line with post overhaul player mitigation:

Captain Turval

Gemli Vonglori

Hyacinth Clarramore

Mebor Greenhunt

These should now be in line with everything else, apologies to anyone
who has had difficulties with them recently.

After much deliberation we've decided to pacify the Aetherplex.

The % chance to spawn a black dragon when using SIPHON has been
increased.

The % chance to spawn anything else but a black dragon when using SIPHON
has also been increased.

Quests that reward players with a curio piece have been adjusted to
ensure that 90% of the time it is the curio piece you already have.


We hope players will adapt quickly to these changes, and that the long
term balance of the game will be improved by them.
