  907D1 Peltarch's Vanity Plates has moved downstairs into Violetta's, and the entire tailoring process has been modified. Customers may use either a new conversation menu (thanks Seisan!) or a simplified series of chat commands much like the old VP. A tailoring assistant has also been added to the New Player Lobby at no cost. (There was a bug in 907D that charged people for modified helmets and cloaks but did not deliver them. Sorry to anyone who also lost gold over the last two days.)

  (Seisan Addendum) New dungeon added: The old forsaken orcish fort south of Jiyyd is back with some kind of weird undead activity. Would you dare to take this new challenge? The dungeon has hidden treasure rooms and passages you can use your skills to reveal individually, for your group or if you are stalking. [Recommended level: 10-14. Note that you won't be able to enter the Boss room if you are above level 14, neither you'll be able to open the loot chests if that's the case. You can still explore all new three areas though.] Some loot chest are now level restricted across the world for better adventuring experience. Campfires built with the oil flasks now works as it used to do in the past: rest near one and you get an extra hp recovery bonus (as if bandaged). Some new areas will let you rest only if you build a campfire and there are not enemies nearby. Few undead creature added List of caves that have had their loot chest level restricted: Giantspire Foothills - Orc Cave: Level 8 and bellow Giantspire Southern Pass - Deeper Woods: Level 12 and bellow Giantspire Foothills - Damp Caves: Level 16 and bellow Rawlinswood: Goblin Hold Level 2: Level 12 and bellow Undergound - Rural Tunnels: Level 12 and bellow For devs: Added functionality to place hidden objects that can be revealed by passing certain skill checks. Added script to spawn a boss creature when entering a trigger. Added level restriction script, it works for both: a locked/unlocked container and any kind of door. Added NO_LOCATION_FIX variable int. This excludes NPCs to adjust their location if they are too close to the edge of an area (1.5 squares iirc)

  907A1 Seagulls Sitting, flying, pecking, these birds have migrated into Narfell. Don't get pooped on! Magic Drop Changes Thanks to all the feedback, we've been able to iterate further on the item generation algorithm. Mainly, it is getting smarter. The chance of finding weapons has been balanced with that of finding other items. Expect to find item types that more appropriately match the creature carrying it. Goblins holding double axes they can't even wield? These sorts of things will happen far less frequently. If you're looking for a certain type of equipment you'll have better look hunting creatures that normally would use, make, enchant or use ones they pried from the hands of cold dead adventurers. Item properties will start making more sense. No longer should you find melee weapons with feats like "Mounted Archery" or Maces with "Extra Damage Type: Bludgeoning". More Fishing Grab your fishing rod and get out there! More fishing spots added all over the place. There's a whole cooking system in the works. Stay tuned for more on this. Crafting Updates You may notice some of the crafting stations and skill journal have changed a bit. We're changing quite a bit under the hood to make way for more improvement on crafting down the road. Stay tuned! Duergar boss fight improvements Duergar leaders are getting stronger. They now have unique abilities that they'll use against you. Go bag yourself one in the Deep Mines under Oscura! Other Updates Much of these are new, brewed by the DM staff that has now been regularly meeting to improve and expand the Narfell region. A literal ton of wishlist items dating back to the Narfell Improvement Initiative have also been taken on (Thank you DrDreadlock for toolsetting much of these!) Many spawns have been tweaked, areas balanced for certain level ranges, and other aesthetic improvements to maps. To list a few: Discovery XP fixes (go get out there!) Peltarch commerce has been redecorated Assassins now have reduced arcane spell failure (fyi @Necrofai ) Access to the rural tunnels through the Dwarven Hold no longer gets locked randomly Steppenhall moneylender is no longer hostile Troff Legion Hall no longer incorrectly has "Old" in the name Fixing pathing issues on a few maps Gypsy valley changes Sawmill at the edge now has a light to show the speed (fyi @GATLORD ) Orcs to the west have better loot Order of the endless stores updated Fenberries count as food More trashcans in Oscura More rest areas in the Grapevine Inn Improved performance dips from corpse disposal in maps with lots of spawns Updates to Mintas

  Word begins to spread that the Tomb Raiders have robbed all nearby ruins in the mountain pass up to High Hold and have departed the area, for the most part. However, all sorts of monsters have begun to prowl the passage way up into the mountains with their departure. New dangers await. [Tomb Raiders have been replaced with random mountain spawns on the Mountain Pass map. I added this in because some of the creatures might get hung up on the tiles and placeables, please report the locations on the map if they do.]

  Build 906K1 Random loot has had some fixes applied. Shields should no longer appear as bags. Ammo and throwables now come in complete stacks instead of tiny amounts. They were also cluttering stores and causing lag spikes up to 3 seconds in some cases (VERY BAD!). This has been fixed. New monsters now roam Narfell. Be on the look out for dread Lifeleech Otyugh's and their strange abilities to seep restorative magic from healers. Various fixes have been applied to the High Hold area. Transitions have been fixed across the lands! Spawns have been tweaked for balance in the area. This update also included many behind the scenes updates that will find their way into more player-facing parts of the module soon. Text input will soon be accessible in dialogs across the land. This includes banking, shops and more. If you have suggestions for dialogs that could benefit from receiving text input, please leave a note in community suggestions. Duergar forces have had loot entirely redone and their overlords been made stronger.

  906J3 BYOB Updates BYOB stalls now list the merchant on items sold. If you have any difficulties or accidental purchases, seek them out for a refund. Maybe don't tell them if you break something though Magic Item Generation Update Overall chance to find magic items has increased 5x Properties found to be useless (ex: weight reduction on ammo) have been removed New properties added Numerous other small fixes Other Fixes There was an issue with the loot generation causing more loot to drop than intended. This has been fixed Bugs? As with all build updates, there is the likelihood of bugs. Please report bugs to the bug reporting forum so that we can fix them.

  906I1 Area Updates The Fetid Cult (praise Juiblex!) has fortified their positions in lieu of their new accumulated wealth. Adventurers can expect loot to be more readily available as chests have been updated to automatically populate without DM supervision. The area has also been tweaked to prevent exploiting NWN's crappy AI pathing and killing bosses easily from across the river. Duergar were dropping gear which was unfortunately marked as stolen and unsellable. Adventurers can now expect to sell the crossbows and hammers they find on GREYSKIN SCUM! Storage and Crafting Bag of Holding storage facilities previously carried a maximum of 80 items. This has been increased to 120 and us dev-folk will be monitoring if we can bring this number even higher. Storage needs for Trade & Craft Halls have now been automated. No need to wait for a Dev or DM, find a local Bag of Holding rep in craft halls throughout the land including Norwick, Peltarch and Oscura We've also made various tweaks for all you Woodcutters and Bowyers out there. Saw horses can now be mass loaded with logs as was recently released for forges with ore. Logs are now 2x2/medium sized objects instead of large 3x2. Faster Load Times Lastly, expect to see quicker load times when entering new areas and hopefully less lag spikes as others are doing so. We've put a ton of effort into improving the performance of creature spawning, loot generation and ultimately, cut down how long it takes that loading bar to fill up. Enjoy!

  906H3 Here's another minor build roll out to kick the week off. An issue with the Bag of Holding in Norwick has been fixed (thank you for flagging @Speedy_Z_). The book of summons has an easier read out, showing you what is selected for each circle and, an easier flow, after selecting a summon for a circle one will be returned to the top listing page. You can see a video on discord or go ahead in game and check it out!
