o MM, Ghost, Terrorantula and Spectre received a very slight increase in power
o Dragons will now only drop 2 blood each
Spell Changes:
o Aura of the Wall will now proc the rune as intended.
o Player Aura Buffs now give the correct amount of AC
o All DS Event spells have a recast of 45 seconds now, increased from 12 seconds.

And just to lighten the mood a little, we have officially received the "Most Hilarious petition ever"...
"Player X: Quill Finder Macro Enabled - Watching for Quill to spawn to auto kill."
Really?... Let's use some common sense folks. Follow the server rules and no one will get hurt!
Rule #10: "Exploiting and MQ is NOT allowed. Not at all. We want people to experience this Server as it was meant to be. If you want to check if a specific spawn is up - go there. If you can't - make a tracker. If that's not an option for you - then you will not know if the mob is up. Warping will get you banned right away - You have been warned!"
Enjoy your stay,
