Mudlib ChangesA little road work has been done on the north road out of Harborside by the dwarven outpost and the road is now a bit easier to climb at night, although you may still have some trouble if it is very dark. Those who can see better in the dark will find the passage easier as well as those who are nimble.

For those clerics and rangers which make use of plant door, branches will now save their tree location over logout. This only holds true for branches gathered recently. Branches put in component bags will still loose their locations. However, branches put in regular bags will retain the locations.

Some new books have been added to the library, descriptions of the Baator and Dankwind domains.

The help file for the Judge command for fighters has been updated to show how the various judgements rate against each other.

Help newuser will now provide a menu of the help files and manuals most useful for the first time or novice player.

The Phoenix will now yield its loot once a day instead of once per reboot. If you find it doing so more than once a day, inform Shwaine immediately.

Skills that are primarily fighter skills, but are used by other guilds and classes, such as unarmed and multiattack, ar now more effective for fighters than for other classes.
