Zone experience modifiers were increased in all zones from Tipt/Vxed and beyond.
Natimbi, Qinimi, Barindu, Riwwi, and Ferubi should be tuned more appropriately for their intended level ranges.
NPCs will no longer hit for max damage as often. Knights in particular should find it easier to tank the NPCs
they previously had difficulty with.
Ikkinz -- Guilds no longer have to flag every member in order to complete the Ikkinz trials. Only one person needs
to complete all events/raids to start the seventh Ikkinz trial. At that point, all players who complete the seventh
trial will get full credit for the zone.
NPC innates have been adjusted to behave a little more reasonably.
Zone travel has been made easier. Animal aggression was lowered by changing their faction and See Invis percentages
were reduced on several NPCs.
Spell drops have been increased.
Increased the rate of cash drops.
The mini bosses in Qvic now have a more appropriate respawn rate. Their item drop rate has been increased to
compensate for this.
Breakdown in Communication quest now has improved rewards!
Collision
More improvements to the collision system should make it a lot more difficult to get stuck.
Misc.
The Eye of Zomm will once again open closed doors.
