2.1
Addition: Daily and weekly quest NPCs that will reward a good amount of coin on completion of their task, typically involving the defeat of a boss. Some more challenging than others. They're scattered across the map outside of cities and villages. This grants a more interactive way for characters that aren't invested into a crafting tree to gain coin rather than simply grinding wood/ore.

Most of these also include new sprite art drawn for this update, best seen in-game!

• Iridescent Veil: Light - Aura. +20 power, +20 critical, speed boost on dash. Basic. (Light)

Addition: Public hiddens. At 200RPL, you now gain a Hidden Point which you can use to purchase a public hidden, along with the associated RPP cost. These are non-refundable and allow a character to showcase their mastery in a particular tree. Many master tier hiddens are now intermediates and have been adjusted accordingly, for example:

Power Attunement - Combat Style
Bladestorm - Armed
Tremor - Earth
Water Dragon's Roar - Water
Severance - Blood
Cinderflare - Explosion
Vacuum Vortex - Air
Arc of Devastation - Lightning

Addition: A key with 100 or less online hours has their character's name highlighted in green.

Change: Cosmic, Light, and Shadow are now public spell trees.

[chance]

2.2

Addition: Interact, follow, and target NPC are now available in key mapping (F12). 
Addition: Added a /cooking prefix that displays when you can next cook for EXP
Addition: Spells now display their 'type' (wave, aura, projectile, etc), still need to manually add a lot of them but we've made a good start on it.

Change: Run is now a toggle rather than a key press.

Fix: A cooldown has been added to the 'This build is locked prompt!' to stop the chat spam.

Fix: Certain linear projectiles (such as Blood Bullet) could multi-hit when they're only meant to damage once.

[chance]

2.4
Addition: Starfall Academy and Shadowmire, a large region and spawn point on the map, as well as an Academy Tailor that has uniforms for students.

Addition: Land plots can now be crafted within homes, granting indoor farmland.

Addition: Expands paper functionality to include sealing, which sets the sprite of the item to an unopened letter. The paper cannot be edited after, and reading it will break the seal (and also change the visual).

Change: /message now requires a physical letter! If the target's inventory is full, it's dropped beneath them. Tip: Craft a book and drag and drop the letters into the item to store them; they can be removed just as easily.

Change: Certain special spells (such as combat style actives) now have a visual display while on cooldown. 

Change: If a property has 3 days or less maintenance left, it'll warn the owner when they log in. The /properties command displays this information.

[chance]

2.5
Addition: There are now mini-game mechanics that have a dedicated chat ('Games') and functionality. The first of these is Arcana, which you can read the guide of here. 

- A deck container. You can drag and drop cards into it for storage. Click the deck to draw a card, and right-click for the following additional options:
View Cards: Lists all the cards in the container in the Games chat tab.
Take Card: Opens up the list of cards within the container and allows you to remove one.
Reveal Draw: Draws a card while revealing it to all nearby.
Shuffle: Shuffles the cards within the deck.
Rename: Lets you name the deck object.

- A card item. Drag and drop the card into a deck to add it to the deck. Right-click the card while it's in your inventory to drop it facedown or face up. 
When a card is dropped, you can drag it around without moving by clicking, holding, then moving your cursor, to make play easier. On right-clicking the card while it's dropped, you'll also have options like 'turn' and 'flip'. 

Addition: The Arcana Alpha set, which includes 200 cards and seven archetypes.  Collect mythics and rares based on various elements of Eternia, including tributes to past characters!

Addition: Unique items now save on the map and can function as custom props. Check out early examples of that in this thread!

Addition: The injury and capture rolls of the defeated in an aggressive+ battle will now display to all those nearby.

Addition: The 'check building' command while interacting with a property now displays additional information, such as who owns it how much maintenance is paid for. 

Addition: A 64x64 canvas sprite in the tailor, named 'cosmetic', solely for the sake of spiriting.

Change: /r as a shortcut to /ready during battle.

[chance]

2.6
Addition: The Elemental Overhaul improves and properly categorizes damage properly across the board, and introduces two new categories alongside Fire, Air, Water, and Earth: Bio and Metaphysical.

• Bio's base tree is Nature, opening with Bio Attunement. Its specializations are Blood, Bone, and Poison.
  
• Metaphysical's base tree is Illusion, opening with Meta Attunement. Its specializations are Gravity, Time, Shadow, and Light.
  
• All specializations now scale properly to their base power type. If you have +5 fire ele pow? That's +5 ele power on fire and all its sub-elements.
  

Addition: Forged items now display the year they were made and who they were crafted by.
 
Addition: Every 10 years, the rarity of an item will decrease by 1 grade. ULTRA > RARE > UNCOMMON > STANDARD. This is to encourage a health restock of artificer items into the world over time rather than an ever expanding, saturated pool of rarities. If an item is marked as a unique, the rarity will not degrade over time.

Addition: A T2 Artificer recipe, Whetsone. 5 Steel, 5 Adamantite. Drag and drop it on to a weapon to restore its Pristine status. One time use.

Addition: Lodestone Potion. This doubles the output of ores gained from mining for one hour.

Change: AP has been replaced with FM (Force Multiplier) for clarity and separation from Power on spell tooltips.
