You will not continue channeling into the great beyond.
Some added skill functionality: You can set some favorite skills and view only them when you type skills category favorites. See skills favorites for syntax help.
The weapons command now displays each weapon's current durability conditions. Remember that while damage is live, breakage for weapons is not.
Herbalists and healers at infirmaries will no longer instantly cure all wounds, but rather bandage wounds with poulticed bandages. There is now a small fee for their services as well.
You can pull necklaces and pendants while wearing a shirt, vest, or piece of armor in order to hide them from view. Pulling again will show them.

You can no longer attempt to unlock things while under attack, mesmerized, or prone.
You cannot bandage other people while you are lying down.

Chopping branches will only put them in a wagon if it is hitched to your own mount.

The lore compels me!
It is no longer possible for non-elemancers to cast with wands.
It is no longer possible to forge broadsword blades. They didn't have their own base template and were using the terrible generic one-handed sword template by default. Any broadsword owners should ask a GM to convert the broadsword to a longsword, which will be a vast improvement.
Too old to do any more sailing, seaman Hampton has taken to staying at the Shattered Pumpkin in Mistral Lake. He can train or promote aspiring students from the University of Elemancy.
Nether Survey tasks should now only send Rooks to areas with actual nether properties.
Elemancer survey tasks should no longer send students into territory far too dangerous for them to handle.
Infused Nether now works with sorcery channels combined with cryomancy.
The Halo spell is now a minor-maintained spell, lessening energy regeneration during the duration. Cast it to activate, cast again while active to deactivate.
Minor Beacon is now a maintained spell, requiring an active thaumaturgy channel and extra energy per second while active. It can be dismissed by casting it again while active. It also got some little cosmetic upgrades.
options 14 can be used to toggle whether or not you see obvious exits when looking. Useful for those who prefer the compass.
Feeling upset at being taken advantage of, herbal healers in hamlets and other small villages now keep track of debts owed them, and may refuse to waste expensive poultices on those who have accumulated too high of a debt. They will always bandage wounds to stop bleeding (but not heal the wound) regardless of debt, though leaving a debt unresolved for too long may be harmful to one's local reputation.
Characters may pay off their debts when standing next to NPCs they owe debts to, and may ask their debtors about "debts" to see how much they owe, if anything.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
Guards can no longer intercept attacks when under certain effects.
You can throw your peas into your soups and meat pies (although why would you want to?).

The ammo command now displays powderhorns and displays how many uses of powder are available.
Titanium and tungsten have been removed from the game.
The charge for getting a key copied will now properly be deducted from your total riln.
You can now use the tone command in conjunction with an item that would muffle your voice such as greathelms or masks.
When speaking with an item that muffles your voice, the say description of that item has been shortened. However, the details of that item can still be seen when looking at the person.
You will no longer make one nail at a time. Prices have been adjusted accordingly.

Orbs will no longer follow a hidden person by name. Utasa orbs can be dismissed without the hand-waving messaging.
Carpentry will take fewer total steps, and each step will take less time and energy to complete.
Forging blunt weapons and hilts no longer gives the erroneous extra skillgain it was previously.
Being prevented from climbing something due to being engaged in combat should no longer erroneously send messaging that the character successfully climbed.
When arriving in the area, messaging should now, for the most part, indicate to bystanders where the arriving character just came from.
Campfires that have had logs added to them will now leave behind some charcoal.
IRC chat in #clokchat now echoes to in-game OOC chat. option 15 can be used to ignore IRC chat on the in-game OOC channel.
Some difficulty ratings for forging items have been adjusted.
Mining caverns will correctly open up when discovered.
Templar preemptive attacks when intercepting attacks on their guarded wards should now only allow a single strike.

The wonky movement messages showing room codenames should be fixed. bug report any further instances, please.
It is no longer possible to cut a bar of metal any smaller than 'tiny'.

Soundpulling correctly gives the +10% to stealth.
Hamlets are now marked on the in-game map as a purple + instead of a purple #, which was difficult to distinguish from the pink # used for full towns.
Slag-lumps should no longer cause an error when trying to appraise or sell them at the market. Slag-lumps existing previous to this change will still cause the error - please just toss them in a trash barrel.
Herbs should no longer sell for more than their buyback price at markets.
Most wilderness areas should now have wildlife that can be hunted.
Druids who commune will now need an animal callsign, which will be used instead of a name.

It is now possible to light letters, notes, slips, and other similar items, which will immediately destroy them.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
The wilderness road now leads TO the Coalition HQ rather than around it.
Weeds now grow regardless of a field's water status and will now eventually overtake (remove) planting plots. This should help to get rid of all the forsaken fields in the wilderness.
Wound levels should no longer occasionally be higher than the maximum wound level possible, which was preventing some bandages from working.
Attempting to log in with an incorrect password should no longer produce an error.
Town mines have had their stock of minerals adjusted for the purpose of geological accuracy.

climbing energy usage and challenge now take worn armor and inventory weight into account.
Templar now gain guild points for successfully casting attack spells at nethrim.
Dwaedn's Blessing of the Cougar should now properly work even without access to Wolf's Cunning.
Successfully making armor checks will now grant skill when defending in addition to attacking.
Combat is now penalized when riding a warhorse if Riding skill is too low. The benefits of warhorses now require more Riding skill to fully utilize.
Blade Slap has had some extra bonuses removed and is no longer quite as effective as parrying with a weapon (numbers-wise). Expect tweaks.
The bonus to accuracy while charging on a mount now uses a significantly smaller percentage of the Riding skill.
The chance for leg and foot strikes to cause a knockdown is now dependant on the hit location's maximum wound threshold. That is to say, targets with weaker legs are easier to knock down, targets with tougher legs are harder to knock down. The relative minimum threshold has been decreased slightly.
Very minor strikes from arrows will no longer lodge the arrow into the target, and will instead place the arrow in the room contents.
Crafted arrows should now work with the Rapid Fire ability.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
NPC Monks from the Church of Light will now show up at infirmaries every bell (hour) to assist in healing of the wounded, and will do as much as they can before needing to leave and rest. NPCs will flock to the infirmaries during this time as well.
Injured NPCs in infirmaries will now spawn with a wider range of wound severity.
Herbalists in infirmaries will now tend to any injured NPCs present. They will still wait for PCs to ask for healing, though this may change soon to become automated as well, and prevent PCs from bleeding to death in front of a healer.
The variety of wounded NPC types that show up in infirmaries should now be large enough so that no single type of NPC "doubles up" (i.e. 2 wounded hunters in the same infirmary). This should make it easier for bandagers to specify whom they are trying to target.

Infested merchants have had their punch attacks toned down to be as wimpy as the infested carriers found in Tarueka.
The wilderness is getting wilder! Some areas will be more dangerous than others, though it should be rare that an area of the wilderness is as dangerous or densely-populated as explorable areas. Patrols will soon be added to the main roads to help keep travelers safe.
Purchasing items with recognition points will now have the messaging properly state that recognition points are spent, not guild points.
The Mistral Lake depart destination has been moved to the mortuary.

The tutor command should be working properly again.
It now costs energy to mount.
Obsidian can both be polished and used in jewelry.
Randomly-generated weapon and armor loot should no longer use descriptors that denote the current condition of the item (cracked, dented, burnt, battered, keen-edged, gleaming, etc.) as these often conflict with the actual current state of the item which is constantly changing due to breakage and repair.
RP verbs that should be able to be performed in the dark should now have appropriate messaging, and messaging when blind should be appropriate.
Position changes (standing, sitting, and the like) should no longer be visible in complete darkness.
Many of the silly randomly-generated clothing loot combinations have been removed. (No more fur-lined leather socks, sorry!)
More color possibilities, alternative clothing nouns, and descriptors have been added to randomly-generated loot, including special lists of options for specific item types.
You can no longer transfer in complete darkness.
You can speak in flat and worried tones.

Nethrim destroyed by Sun Disc ricochets should now properly count toward Templar culling tasks.
Wanted posters are now viewable in the Mistral Lake town square.
The status prompt now indicates when Nether Hands, Shadow Cloak, or Halo are active.
sapping an NPC now only causes the target to hate the sapper if the sapper fails in the attempt.
Lockpicks now degrade slightly as they are used. Fumbles will now significantly lower pick quality rather than turning them into 'bent' lockpicks or breaking. Once quality goes below a certain threshold, the lockpick will break.
There are now two social channels. OOC is to be used for only on-topic discussion about CLOK, and is enabled by default for new characters. CHAT is used for off-topic discussion, and is disabled for new characters by default. Both can be enabled or disabled via the options command.
Herbal healers in towns with established banks will now rightfully keep track of peoples' debts.

The status prompt now indicates when Nether Hands, Shadow Cloak, or Halo are active.
sapping an NPC now only causes the target to hate the sapper if the sapper fails in the attempt.
Lockpicks now degrade slightly as they are used. Fumbles will now significantly lower pick quality rather than turning them into 'bent' lockpicks or breaking. Once quality goes below a certain threshold, the lockpick will break.
There are now two social channels. OOC is to be used for only on-topic discussion about CLOK, and is enabled by default for new characters. CHAT is used for off-topic discussion, and is disabled for new characters by default. Both can be enabled or disabled via the options command.
Herbal healers in towns with established banks will now rightfully keep track of peoples' debts.
The Telepathy spell used by Mummers is now a minor-maintained effect. It can be dismissed by casting the spell again while already active.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
Items that cover the entire head should once again cause a penalty to perception due to covering the eyes.
Returning lost mounts to stables will now attempt to send them to the nearest stable rather than the last one they were stabled at. Failing that (if there are no stables close enough by), the mount will be returned to the last stable they were stabled at as it worked previously.
Stables that find lost mounts will now send mail to the mount's owner, informing the owner of the situation and the mount's location.
The gate to Tarueka is now significantly easier to climb (we failed to take into account typical encumbrance penalties when initially setting the challenge).
Minor Animates will now automatically remove ammo lodged into their bodies and drop it.
Characters are now required to have active access to the ESP network in order to get the immediate "mental tingling" notification when mail is sent to them and when logging into the game. (This does not effect the OOC email notifications via OPTION 9.)
Characters will now get the "mental tingling" mail notifiaction each hour on the hour, provided they have mail waiting to be picked up and have active access to the ESP network.
It is now possible for characters to wash themselves off in rooms with shallow or deep water, or in rooms with nearby rivers or other applicable water sources.

Group leaders will now automatically slow down for any group members who travel slower than the leader (for instance, with a leader riding a mount and a follower on foot).
All types of knockdowns should now stun instead of inflict roundtime. Please report any that were missed.
Skinning is now an auto-repeated process until the target corpse is completely skinned. Type stop to stop auto-skinning.
Removing lodged arrows should no longer cause an error.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
Characters now get dirty, bloody, gore-spattered, smelly, and other fun things from various actions. Remember to wash off before running off to attend social functions. The effects command will help players find out if they're in need of some bathing.
The bandage command will now correctly count all bandages, even ones very recently purchased.
You can threaten people using the speech command.
Leathercrafted and blacksmithed goods will once again sell at the pawnshop.

Leathercrafting now appropriately takes into account the quality of the leather used, averaging it with the crafting quality.
Skinning, cleaning, and tanning pelts will now calculate quality similar to the other professions, and is cummulative through crafting with the pelt.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
Untended and lost horses should no longer be brought to the nonexistant Tarueka Stables.
Knapping, chopping, felling, and mining now cause durability degrade to the tools used to do the work. Since weapon breakage isn't live yet, this doesn't mean much at the moment.
Several crop weights have been adjusted to be more reasonable (corn no longer weighs the same as a watermelon, for instance).
Got rid of some more silly loot clothing combinations.
New loot category possibilities for lockboxes: Statues/figurines (collect them all!) and jewelry.
Fishing should now be possible along all rivers, and has been added to any rivers/creeks/lakes/etc. in explorable areas that could be recalled by staff. If a place seems to have been missed, please report it.
Several new types of fish have been added, many dependant on environment.
Spearfishing has been added to several spots where it seemed appropriate in addition to angling. Again, please report spots that may have been missed.
If there are multiple sittables (chairs, barstools, benches, etc.) of the same appearance in the same room, if a character tries to sit on the first one and it is already full, the other matching sittables in the room will be checked for vacancy and the character will automatically sit on a matching vacant sittable, rather than having to specify a vacant sittable by number.
It is one again possible to tan scales into scale leather and use it to make scale leather armor.
It is no longer possible to intercept attacks on another while webbed.
Knights Templar may now learn the Tactics: Guardian ability.
It is now possible to put riln into containers, and riln now has a weight associated with it. Reminder: It is NOT okay to mail riln (or anything else, for that matter) to your own alternate characters. Mail containing riln will have the sender and receiver info monitored.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
The University of Elemancy has stopped admitting crag yetis to their school. (That was sarcasm. Read the next item.)
Crag yetis no longer know pyromancy.
Worn powderhorns should once again be reporting their contents via the ammo command.
It is now possible with most commands to specify unlimited adjectives to target something. For instance: get inferior ground fraer root will now work, where before only one specific adjective was allowed. Please report commands that do not allow for multiple adjectives.
It is no longer possible to check mail if a character is greatly disliked by the local faction.
CombatBrief (option 11) now makes combat messaging even briefer by omitting more fluff text (retrieving ammo, nocking bows, loading firearms) and condensing weapon/ammunition names to only the noun in combat-specific messaging.
Stone Canyon now changes from Temperate to Subalpine climate earlier into the area.
The fiddles sold at the Shadgard Music Shoppe are now properly bowed instruments rather than strummed, and horsehair bows have been added to the shop which must be used to play said fiddles.
Violins and bows to play them with have been added to the music shop in the Mummers' camp.
Casting thaumaturgy without a specified target should once again default to the character with the highest injury level the caster is capable of healing.
Most commands should now accept "my" as an argument to only search for the specified item on the player character's own person. For instance, if there is a candle in your bag and one on the floor, a player could enter get my candle to get the one from their own bag rather than the one on the floor.
Fish sizes now vary depending on fish, which in turns influences the challenge. Let the fishing competitions commence!
Due to the above, the "soft cap" on fishing skillgains has been removed.
Spearfishing now grants skill, but uses a different formula than angling.
The cheese wedges and salted bread twists sold at the Twin Dagger no longer weigh a pound each. Good grief.
The shop item listings now show prices and look a little neater.
The bowtruckles are no longer so content to let intruders waltz around as they please in their burrows.
Randomly-generated loot clothing should now be pawnable.
Many smaller wild animals are no longer staunch warriors who stand their ground at any sign of danger and fight to the death. They once again flee danger and only fight back when desparate. Some varieties are an exception (infested, nether-animated, rabid, etc.)
Being so tiny, rats no longer produce pelts.
Infested squirrels no longer have humanoid hit locations.
A bug causing some armor penalties to only apply if the armor type was leather has been fixed. Sorry, heavy-armor-wearers.
If two characters are logged in and one character's name is within the other's, such as the case with Dara and Daratanian, tells can be directed to the character with the shorter name by typing that character's full name exactly.
The tome in the Shadgard Church Sanctuary is now readable.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
The chairs at the tables in the Shandy Gaff diner now accommodate more than one person.
Several customizable items in the Shadgard General Store now come with a default customization, meaning they can be purchased without needing to place a custom order. The barrels have had their prices adjusted up a bit, and the "belt pouch" is now a "belt-pouch" to retain the "belt" part even when custom-ordered.
Treasure boxes now have variable lock challenges.
Lock-pickers should now sense if they have no chance of picking a lock after a while (how long this takes is determined by skill), and stop auto-picking when this happens.
Characters should no longer continue to attempt to auto-dig if they no longer have a digging tool in their hands.
The Claw of Shar's "Mark and Study" effect should no longer show when the target checks their effects. Shame on certain people for never reporting it (you know who you are).
It should no longer be possible to keep picking the lock on a box if it has left the picker's hand and is not on the ground.
A lockpick's material now influences how quickyly it degrades with use.
The tankards sold in the Grizzly Den now properly report holding 12 ticks of liquid instead of 10. Tankards purchased previous to this update are uneffected (they still hold 12 ticks, but the description says they only hold 10 - ask a GM to update the description if desired).
Getting drunk may affect a character's speech. More effects to come.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
All weapons/armor/shields now have a quality rating, including the store-bought variety (which should generally be average quality).
Snipers should no longer observe when hidden and unknown bystanders trace their attack's flight path.
Snipers should no longer have their names given to their target when the target's hiding place is revealed by the attack.
Several uncorporeal nethrim have had their energy levels reduced to be more in line with what is typical for uncorporeal nethrim. This includes shadow familiars.
Numerical specifications when targeting one of multiple objects/creatures should be working again.
The supernatural strength granted by Bear's Strength and Bear's Blessing now reduces encumbrance.
Roundtime for PC repairs has been reduced significantly.
The trash barrel in Emleth now actually functions as a trash barrel.
Carpentry got some love: chests, barrels, casks, weapon racks, and armor racks can now be built.
Blacksmith commodities got two new ones: hinges and hoops (both used in carpentry).

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
Players can use the command bandage me to bandage themselves without specifying a location. It does not have the full functionality as the more robust use of bandage.
Characters with Bear's Strength, Bear's Blessing, or Battlefury active now have a chance to break free of webbing early.
Roasting meat on a skewer over a fire is now live. See the BBS post in Cooking or the wiki for more information.
Infested meat isn't the healthiest thing to eat, so be wary of consuming it. This is a retcon, so assume it's always been this way.
Tasks should no longer send people into the bowtruckle burrows.
Whispering from hiding will reveal your location to anybody who can see your target.
Whispering to a hidden target will reveal your target's location to anybody that can see you.
Whispering now takes into account your language and language skills.
The code for tone and speech has changed. This shouldn't cause any changes for players. However, if you use a permenant tone or speech and there are problems, simply re-set it and it should be fine.

Re: Bugfixes/Changes/Improvements
You are able to bandage yourself while mounted.
New tones: Laconic, distracted, grumpy, annoyed, resigned, hasty, quick, acerbic
Irwin no longer accepts stone weapons or wooden practice weapons for trader tasks.
NPC infirmary healers will now automatically heal a Player Character's wounds when that character is lying down. If a character asks for healing or healall as with the old system, the NPC will simply help ease that character into a prone position, and then move on to bandaging as it works under the new system. (This applies to people who pass out from bleeding in infirmaries as well - no more deaths from passing out before being able to ask for healing!)
Spear of Light now does one single cycle of damage three times as powerful as before, rather than 3 cycles of weaker damage. The damage output should be the same, while minimising visual output.
Crazed Necromancers have been renamed Rotting Liches to make their state of being more obvious, and they now properly have abilities based around sorcery rather than elemancy. Their sceptres are now cudgel-based rather than staff-based.
The Tainted Monastic Liches that populate Thaelsh have been renamed Shambling Revenants, as the definition of the term "lich" doesn't apply to these fellows. Yes, we are nitpicky about these things.
Significant changes to farming. See viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2947&p=15713#p15713
Hoods will no longer cover facial hair. In addition, hoods and masks can be worn together with appropriate messaging.
Lyndrai's Boutique now sells some simple items that can be worn in the hair.
Saw roundtimes have been reduced significantly.
Commodity prices have been fixed (increased) for planks, as has quality.
