Maaghara Tower's hunting area has taken into account today's waistlines and greased the exiting a little, while also deciding to allow locates to peek within. Perhaps it's gotten enough player mulch recently?

You know who you are.

Sanctum of Scales, [Fangs of the Serpent, Gateway] has weakened over time and should now allow magic to be used.

Old Ta'Faendryl is getting... older. The constructs have the ability to block a corpse from being dragged only once within a reasonable time frame. The heroic will find this helpful during rescues.

The Rift has been especially chaotic lately with multiple changes!

* GROUPS can now enter the Rift together. *Qualifications to enter still apply.

* The spirit loss that sometimes hits the unfortunate heading into the Rift has been tamed a bit.

* Bards should no longer immediately lose their spellsongs when swimming in the Rift AND can now anchor themselves to the Cavern of Ages for Traveler's Song (1020).

* Nexus gems can now be set to the Cavern of Ages and used from within the Rift and Scatter to get there, with all other restrictions to them still applying.

* Most teleport spells used within the Rift will now return casters to the Cavern of Ages instead of other random Rift areas.

* Eye-of-Koar emeralds will continue to take groups to Icemule Trace, but now without silver costs, although the gem WILL be sacrificed in payment.

* The stinky box on Plane 5 will now drop the bodies shoved within directly into the Cavern of Ages. Players should beware of falling corpses there.

OMG I love you! The struggle to get off Plane 5 without leaving half my loot behind has been making me not want to play my sorcerer!

Some very odd things with the rift. The sphere is taking me to a random plane when going east. I lost 4 spirit which has never happened before. The max you could go down to is 7 and I got down to 6. Not sure if this was intended but that is a bit more punishing then it was before.

Confirmed on the spirit drain and I seems to take less East moves.

Oh, oh. . . imagine MY surprise when. . .

I'd be happy to support the . . . hmm. . . rogue non-gnome type.

But 5 spirit is just a BIT too much to accept. Especially for the Elf.

Well I been dropped on plane 1, 2, or 3 when going east all day. Feels random but if there is some weird reason it is not that be nice to know. It used to just drop you on plane 3 every time.

* >>The spirit loss that sometimes hits the unfortunate heading into the Rift has been tamed a bit.<<

Not so much. My character is 11/11. The first time after the changes she lost none. The second time, she came out 6/11.

This is not an improvement, I'm very disappointed.

this is a FAIL

Spirit: 7/12

loss of 5 spirit.. oh give me a break

Hey all. I just wanted to say I've heard the feedback and concerns over the Rift changes on the forums and Discord. We are looking into them!

I dunno if anything's been changed to address the spirit loss issue yet, but yesterday evening when I was hunting the Rift my spirit loss was between 0 and 3 when entering (only saw 3 once, the others were all less then that). Entered about 6 times total and all the entries were faster then usual... though that could just be a fluke cause I've had runs like that before.

Rift Plane 3 should be more easily accessible once again.

Stay tuned for more soon.

Thanks for the review and change, Ivry.

Imagine my surprise when I dropped through the maze in under 10 steps! /gasp

Paladins "Aid the Fallen" spell (1613) has been added!

Anchoring within the Cavern of Ages will now transport the unfortunately fallen adventurer to safety from inside the Rift and Scatter.

~GM Ivry

Thanks, I know this has been a for some owners for many years.

Can a toggle be added while attention is on the script to on/off fog moving? Also a way to check current charges/better analyze (not all verb traps are included for example).
