Quality of Life Improvements

(Note, there is no filter on these quests, and nothing special needs to be done with the quest to make it eligible for QB, as long as it appears in the quest registry, it will work.) 0.5% xp and lum gain per QB flag...Lou Ka's stolen items is ~20 QB...we are Making Questing Great Again

Offline Pass-up works...because sometimes IRL IRL's

Dungeon Improvements

All Starter dungeons have had their Max Level Restrictions removed

Matron Hive North, West, and South have had their respawn rate reduced to 60 seconds from 480 for all the mobs except Grubs and the Queen

Egg Orchard West has been absolutely overrun by Olthoi Rippers with a rapid spawn rate. Be careful out there folks

Black Spawn Den (Ayan Baqur) has a new breed of tusker there. They are slightly weaker than Stompers, however the spawn density is increased from creepy canyon and should be more lucrative. This is going to be the lowest difficulty variation of BSD going forward.

Wai Jhou BSD (Obsidian Plains) has been overrun by Enraged Stompers. This is now a T8 dungeon and will be a large step up from Ayan BSD

Obsidian Plains BSD is now summonable and has a level 180 minimum.

Swamp Temple: Added a mob generator that generates Swamp Gromnies where they normally are at a faster rate

Items and Loot Improvments

Item Levels - Have currently been removed and may make a more refined not totally overpowered comeback after some additional testing

The new Server Currency is in! How do you prepare to use it? Aetheria Powder is a key part of the recipe. Save your Aetheria (color is relevant, but level is not). Certain coins and trinkets can be "Enlightened" with Aetheria powder. There is no skill check for these. Quality of the Trinket and quality of the Aetheria Powder will determine the quality of the coin. Low, Normal, and High quality will be put into the game on 3 different (likely monkey related, because why not) vendors

Encapsulated spirits now stack up to 10,000 from 50. Also their weight has been cut in half to 25 burden each from 50.

Luminance and Augmentations

Luminance Augmentation Crystals are now purchasable! There is 1 Gem per School. They can be purchased using the Enlightened Coin, from the grand monkey thingy.

Creature augmentation adds 1 to your Self Spells. This is additive and can continue to be purchased infinitely (costing slightly more Lum each use). Lum is charged on use of the crystals. Cost is independent per crystal type

Item augmentation adds 1 to standard numerical Self spells like Blood Drinker, or +1% to percentage based spells

Life augmentation adds 1 to Life spells, including Protections, Rejuvs, Imperils, and Harms / Martyrs / Drains.

War and Void both function similarly in that each augmentation adds 1 additional damage.
