Subject Salves (oils, ointments, lotions, etc.)
Another way to store a spell, a salve is like a potion but you apply it
to your skin rather than quaff it. Only clerics, druids, and monks can
concoct a salve (new skill for all three).
"help salve" will provide some details.

Subject TELESCOPE SPYGLASS QI's
The Twin Lenses of Fate
The legend of two spyglasses, one mortal, the other divine drifts across tavern
tales and sailor songs. Once owned by a skilled navigator and a cursed pirate,
these relics now lie in wait, ready for those bold enough to pay the price.
The {OEye of Lienkai
Lienkai, the fearless navigator of the Vanderkaum, wielded a brass spyglass that
never faltered. Gifted by her father, the lens revealed hidden coves and safe
passages, steering the ship clear of danger. Yet one night, as mist swallowed
the moon, Lienkai glimpsed a shadow-ship on a starless seaa vision that would
haunt her last voyage.
The Dreadglass Spyglass
Forged by Zeboims wrath, the Dread Captains Spyglass was encrusted with
barnacle-covered emeralds, its blackened brass exuding a sinister glow. Any
pirate captain who peered through its lens could see not just ships, but their
hidden treasures and darkest fears. But Zeboims gifts always bore a
cursemadness, storms, and a watery grave awaited those who lingered too long.
A Price to Pay
Now, whispers tell of both spyglasses surfacing in shadowed marketsLienkais
lens of safe passage and Zeboims accursed sight. But beware, for the true cost
of vision may be far more than gold. Will you dare to claim one and face the
seas fury?
OOC: TWO Spyglasses now available at the Questmasters!

Subject CREATE ROSE & CHARM
CREATE ROSE... was always a useless spell (except for 2-3 times in 20
years as some kind of token of 'omgosh kiss me'... :P
Now? It's been completely redone so that they are RP tailored to your character!
And... It's a component.. for CHARM PERSON.
Let me know if we want Palace Mage to be able to preserve them.

Subject Used up Potions/Salves
They now vaporize, but load a 'clean' copy, so all empty vials will be
same value/wear flags/cost/weight etc etc. I know it's silly, but I was
changing all the stats/strings, now it just goes 'duh Dave' vape/make new
one.
TMI, sure :P

Subject Paladin's mount (and a few other things)
Garrahm pointed out that the paladin's celestial mount wasn't mountable. That
was a side effect (unintentional, I'm sure) by a certain SOMEONE who attempted
to make the mounts last forever (well, at least until you logged off).
That has now been fixed.
Also, you may notice a few more auras for the different shields. Why should flameshield
hog the glory?

Pyron had a decent idea! I ended up going a tad overboard, but now
Palanthas docks is a pretty decent lowbie area for mobs etc. (Not tons of eq

Subject TELESCOPES & MAP
{HGaze{h used to work perfectly, but, the Mini-map would only show the exact
room you 'gazed' at.
IE. Gaze east 4, the map would show that one square 'explored' (removed Fog of War)
Now, if you're in an unknown area,
and you gaze 4 north (Questmaster quest buy Dread :P)...
All of the rooms between you and the one you're viewing have now been seen.
Go buy a Telescope!
There's one on the Jungle Isle, Redbeard has one, and One-eye.
OR... Qmaster has 2 great ones.

Subject WEATHER
Um, it's way freaking cooler. Or warmer... Weather now shows depending on
the region you're in. Also time of day etc. This is those 'The sun goes
down' messages, but also it's weather update messages, and 'weather' command
info.
Ps. there are about 500 new messages depending on wher you're at. Hope it
warms the RP :)
Try: {HWeather{h command.
Also... in winter, nights are longer, summer days are longer etc. :), 'when'
it gets dark/light depends on each season now.

Subject Enemy spellcasters more tricky
I know everyone loves fighting spellcasters that can cast fireball,
lightning bolt, and even teleport at you. But they were all bite.
Now, expect them to cast defensive spells on themselves, too.
Oh, and any druid NPC now acts like a druid NPC, meaning you'll get smacked
with druid spells now.
