We've just loaded up some new items from the IDEAS pile (actually, it's more of a mountain) for your enjoyment! Here are the details:
* TRADEWHO will now give a list of applicable tradeskills when used without a skill.
* TRADEWHO will now accept arguments like "cook", "tailor" etc.
* TRADEWHO will now list the forging rank of weapon and armoursmiths
* TRADEWHO will now show mutual allies who have a Gem of Cloaking.
* Shop of Wonders items now have a basic trade-in value of 10 bound credits. If you've got an item that you no longer want, you can now get rid of it! Just use the ARTEFACT command as normal.
* Probing a Gem of Cloaking will now show if it is active or not.
* Probing collared loyals will now show if a badge of returning has been affixed.
* Gem of Hasty Transmutation/Grimoire of Hasty Adaptation will now show a message to the owner (if online) when it is ready for use once more.
* PUMMEL (Artificing) now has a unique deathsight.
* EXPEND (Dual Blunt Weaponmastery) momentum cost has been reduced for attacks against the legs.
* DEVASTATE (2H Weaponmastery) now supports in-line envenoming.
* BACKSTAB (Subterfuge) now supports in-line envenoming.
* FLAY (Subterfuge) now supports in-line envenoming.
* CURING STATUS will now show information on healing fractures.
* CURING UNPREDICT ALL has been added to the server-side curing system.
* The *a custom prompt tag will now show your current morph.
* The *x custom prompt tag will now show your current xp rank.
* CONSIDER now supports server-side targets.
* ARTEFACT LIST now supports the EXCLUDE argument to filter out items you don't want to see (such as vials).
* All of our varied LIST commands (in AB VISION LISTS) are now in a consistent visual style, and have better support for players using screenreaders.
* SQUINT (Vision) now supports an optional argument to specify the maximum distance you want to view.
* City destruction tank charge amounts have been adjusted, include a slight increase in the number of deaths to reach the first level, and a substantial decrease in the number required for the second and third levels.
* Army bonuses for killing an opponent of much higher rank have been reduced.
* Army bonuses for killing the enemy Minister of War have been increased.
Stay tuned for more great new features and additions!
