Helbreath Mystic Tavern Classic - Update v3.3.8.0

New Content

• The Blacksmith can remove a gem from an item for 50,000 Gold and return it to your bag.
• Dyes and gems now open an item selection window: drag an item, double-click it or click an equipped item.
• Gold Pockets turn into gold when double-clicked.
• New characters start with a Magic Wand (MS0).
• A Town Change ticket converts hero equipment pieces and pioneer capes to the new town's versions, including those in your bag, equipped slots and personal warehouse pages.
• Multiple identical items, such as potions, can be sent as a single mail attachment.
• The auction item picker now uses the actual Warehouse window, with search, pages and both views.

Balance & Gameplay

• Closing or crashing the client no longer lets you escape combat: your character remains in the game, takes 20% damage and leaves 5 seconds after the last hit.
• PvP damage dealt by a player 40 or more levels above the target is reduced to 75%, dropping to 25% at a gap of 74 or more levels. This applies everywhere.
• Blizzard and Fury of Thor retain their original strikes. All 4 strikes only hit the tile 2 tiles before the targeted tile, when cast in a straight line rather than diagonally.
• Dash is back to its original timing: the lunge comes first, followed by the strike.
• Stat resets no longer remove spells: spells requiring more INT than you currently have are simply greyed out.
• Regular upgrade chances are 15% lower (+0: 60% → 51%).
• Majestic upgrades are now capped at +10, down from +15, and cost more per level. Items already above the new cap retain their level.
• Hydra, Wyvern, Fire-Wyvern and Abaddon: defense +10%. Hellclaw and Tigerworm: defense +20%. Abaddon, Hellclaw and Tigerworm: magic absorption +10%. All of these monsters take 50% poison damage.
• Ogre-Shaman: magic hit ratio +20%.
• Demon Slayer damage is now 2d13+5 / 2d14+5, previously 4d8+3 / 4d9+3.
• New Blood weapons now steal 4–12% life, previously 2–6%.
• On weapons with a fixed stat pool, the chance of Mythic is one tenth of the chance of Ancient.
• Dropped gems have 30% lower completion.
• The Mass Illusion Movement spellbook is no longer sold. It now drops from Hellclaw, Tigerworm and Hydra.
• Secondary salvage rolls now yield Crystal70–90% of the time. Gems are rarer.
• Duel arenas: items no longer drop, entering restores HP, MP, SP, hunger and critical charges, and bots have been removed from the rankings.

Interface
