More about this style:
-Available for all levels at 65, overrides old /s 2. (This might be changed in the future, but from what I’ve seen/asked around, warrior /s 2 is very seldomly used).

Shielding will cease when swapping sets.
Additional logging has been put in place around rapid set swaps. We are working on a long-term fix for swaps resulting in lost items or items being placed in the wrong slot, but in the meantime have improved logging. **As a reminder, deliberately attempting to bug out the client will result in significant jail time.**

*** Patch Notes - February 20, 2017 ***

- Monks: group spells and clickies should work on FDed monks again. Only procs should miss.

- Spells: Nejax's Striking Curse and Nejax's Rending Curse had their cooldowns lowered to 15 minutes.

- Items: Staff of Stolen Magic received some bug fixes. - Adepts: 4 new adepts including Hakopta, Queen of Chaos, added in the max engage 25-32 range.

- Opii: Made the following adjustments:

* Added: Mielech c basement group 1.5 in terms of drop rate

* Adjusted: Deepshade some mobs in groups ~2/3 in terms of drop rate

* Added: Highkeep basement group 3

* Adjusted: Windstone to group 3.5

* In general: Mobs with much lower hp in higher groups have been reduced to lower % drops

Big changes for this patch. Some of them are too big to fit here, links are provided for further information.

- Opuses (Opii?): these will no longer drop from raid mobs, but instead from harder exp-able mobs. Please see here for further information on this.

- AA: Our first new AA in a long time! Pet classes have a new AA available, "Suspend Minion." Along with its companion recall AA, it allows you to stash your pet safely away while you're, for example, trying new content and don't want to risk losing weapons and gear. See here for further information on this.

- Loot: Blade of the Prime Animation is now NO RENT. Note that this DOES NOT affect existing swords, only new ones that drop. The new swords function identically to the permanent ones.

- Animation of Sil`rel`din: Speaking of that guy, a few grammar fixes were made. If you have triggers, they may or may not need to be changed.

- Beastlords: Pets will no longer mimic chest or wrist procs. This is in lieu of a proposed change which would have set cooldowns on mimics; this seems like a better route. - Adepts: 6 new adepts can be found in the world for players levels 12-21.

- Camping: a newer, faster camping method has been implemented. You will no longer get a disconnect screen, and camping is several seconds faster, particularly when camping to desktop.

- Roleplaying: The "RP" flag is dead. Long live RP flag. Existing flags have been removed and no new ones will be forthcoming.

- Models: The following mobs in Sorcerers Labyrinth no longer appear as human: a prototype, a rogue watcher, Eerizar

- Items: A Slice Birthday Cake is now A Slice of Birthday Cake

This is a significant patch on the back-end. As a result, there is a higher-than-normal probability that things may not work as expected, particularly with respect to spells. If you encounter a problem, please report it (ideally in Discord) with what spell was being cast, where, and what it was/wasn't doing.

- Adventure Band: Members of a disbanded adventure band will now receive any residual experience that was left behind, rather than it simply evaporating
- Sanctum: You can now always use the "backdoor" port to get in between The Custodian and The Final Ward regardless if The Custodian is up or not. However you cannot proceed backwards to engage Nylastraza, The Custodian or anything in between. Please report weird/unexpected behavior to Dev-Rymy or petition if Dev-Rymy is not around
- Adepts: 4 new low level (player levels 1-9) adepts can be found in the world!
- Spells: Mass Revivification should now actually do things
- Spells: Group port spells should now take all the members, even when in the same zone. If you have people get left behind, please report which specific item or spell was affected, whether you were in a group or raid, and whether you were in the same zone as the spell was cast
- Friends: Assuming you have some, the friends list should be fixed
- Mobs: some mobs which should have been reptile bane that instead were Unknown should now be the correct bodytype
