-So Satan Morocc's question is ironically harder than the final version you face in the field. Unlike the Kiel quest where the quest version of kiel is easier, its backwards! I personally didn't mind this originally, but considering the mantra of this update is to make things more accessible, gating parties at Dimensional Gorge behind a super end game MVP like Satan Morroc is simply not worth it.

 So we've removed a lot of his normal versions mechanics that make him painful, nameless earthquake/hell's power and made his HP/stats significantly easier/weaker. He will likely feel more like a potato compared to before, but this is intended as I want more people to have access to Dimensional Gorge.

 The Halloween event ends with this update and that means no more access to purchasing Scatleton Pet, Halloween Freebie costumes, and Bat Cookies. Bat Cookies, Yummy Meat, and Memory of Gyoll will continue to always drop in Niflheim Dungeon though! So you can stock up for next year or use them to evolve your scatleton pet into a skelion if you so wish. However, you wont be able to purchase Scatleton or any costume from the event since its over. Bat Cookies/Yummy Meat/Memory of Gyoll are one of the few event currencies that will be the same year in and year out, so running nif parties will net you a headstart next year on the event!
-With Halloween event finally ending, comes the Winter and Christmas event. It's kinda bare bones this year with just the Prontera look change and updates to the new currency, but there comes a lot of costumes back that you can see in [[Costume_Previews|Costume Boxes]]

	Hey guys, been a very long time since we've done a maintenance and patch update so we're catching up on a lot here tonight. Unfortunately some major stuff is still being worked on so not everything I wanted to be here will be here, but we'll get to that at the very end. For now, let's talk about what this patch will cover. Mostly its about some exciting new Spawn and EXP changes, some major bug fixes, and catching up on our costume boxes.

		+	==Quest Skip Cost Reductions==
		+
		+	So quest skips have been expensive for awhile, mostly due to zeny balance, but we are not remotely struggling with inflation and ARE struggling with map parity. As such, I feel making quest maps more "accessible" to new players will open up more party places as it doesnt feel heavily gated by the time to do the quest or the zeny required to skip it. Item barriers, zeny barriers, all just server to limit where a player can play. This is a trade off, but as a server owner I value the ability for players to group up more often at fun places above all else. I'm also adding in a few more skips for the sake of quality of life. Hoping to see more of you at bio 2 and 3 with the quest skip and previous buffs to bio 2, but we'll see!
		+

		+
		+	2.) Moscovia: 500k > 100k
		+

		+
		+	4.) Rachel: 3m > 300k

		+	5.) Veins Siblings: 2m > 300k
		+
		+	6.) Curse of Gaebolg: 2m > 200k

		+
		+	====Satan Morocc Quest Version====
		+
		+	So Satan Morocc's question is ironically harder than the final version you face in the field. Unlike the Kiel quest where the quest version of kiel is easier, its backwards! I personally didn't mind this originally, but considering the mantra of this update is to make things more accessible, gating parties at Dimensional Gorge behind a super end game MVP like Satan Morroc is simply not worth it.
		+
		+	So we've removed a lot of his normal versions mechanics that make him painful, nameless earthquake/hell's power and made his HP/stats significantly easier/weaker. He will likely feel more like a potato compared to before, but this is intended as I want more people to have access to Dimensional Gorge.
		+
		+	==New Command: @instancecd==
		+
		+	This command will show you your cooldown of an instance you've run. Note that if its not on cooldown it wont bring up anything! You can either type @instancecd Endless Tower or @instancecd MVP (mobid)! This means if you wanted to see your instance CD of valkyrie randgris, which is mob id 1751....
		+
		+	You would type @instancecd MVP 1751
		+
		+	and then it will show you how much time is left without having to go to the NPC. We hope this helps save you time and plan your MVP and ET runs easier!
		+
		+	==Quality of Life Adjustments==
		+
		+	1.) Pet's now automatically go back into their egg if starving and no food is on player.
		+
		+	2.) Because of the above change, we can finally add @hidepet to @settings since you essentially cannot lose your pet due to starvation anymore.
		+
		+	3.) Performers can now use the Tap skill while using Marionette Control.
		+
		+	4.) Combo timing for monk/champion reverted to normal timing window. Combos can now be chained within a 1.5 second window regardless of if you triple attack repeatedly in a row.
		+
		+	5.) Warp Unlock added just outside Niflheim Dungeon.
		+
		+	==MVP Instance EXP Changes==
		+
		+	People have been spamming Ktullanux or the same MVP over and over in a chain to cheese mass amounts of experience since we buffed MVP experience here. As such, it has become one of the main ways to level with it being incredibly efficient when set up properly. This is not really the intention of the MVP instance system and Ktullanux's addition in general has caused some issues.
		+
		+	As such, MVP instances will now give 90% reduced EXP from all mobs, including the MVP whenever you have been part of a kill recently, even if you didn't pay to enter.
		+
		+	==Bug Fixes/Reverts==
		+
		+	1.) PVP Matchmaking Time limit extended to 5 minutes per round up from total match, and therapist is no longer able to be accessed once the rounds start.
		+
		+	2.) Performer Songs are now properly affected by hard CC like freeze, stun, etc.
		+
		+	3.) Adrenaline Rush/Full Adrenaline Rush aspd given to allies raised from 25% > 30%
		+
		+	4.) Arrow Crafting Table reverted to our buffed versions.
		+
		+	5.) Gan Ceann Card properly has its % shadow damage raised from 5 to 10.
		+
		+	6.) Death Witch map flags now properly set for the instance version, so no more tele, normal edp, star gladiator, etc.
		+
		+	7.) Magic Bible added back to Gajomart drops.
		+
		+	8.) Inn Buffs no longer stack with priest buffs and also properly override them.
		+
		+	9.) Snap skill re-enabled in PVP room.
		+
		+	10.) Adoption Skills no longer disappear when a baby character changes maps or logs out.
		+
		+	11.) Auto Steal gears from Rogue/Stalker properly roll random options again.
		+
		+	12.) Blitz Beat no longer breaks your own ankle snare.
		+
		+	13.) Guild Storage access issues with Cool Event Corp Staff fixed.
		+
		+	14.) Tarot Card of fate can no longer be used on test dummies. (again)
		+
		+	==A Look to the Future==
		+
		+	Our primary focus is still the expanded rework, but we are also trying hard to get the new client/palettes fixed so we can have those 4th job, classic rings, etc. all working as you would expect. In the meantime while you wait you are welcome to ask us for a refund or exchange on anything, just make a ticket. but understand that a fix is well on the way and we are very close. We won't argue with you though if you don't feel like waiting a bit more.
		+
		+	Beyond the new client/palette fixes we'll be FINALLY beginning the expanded rework after christmas day. So on the 26th it all begins. I've decided to start with Gunslinger/Night Watch as its the one I'm personally the most excited about. I won't reveal too much of what is going on behind the scenes during the process so you'll just have to refer to my initial plans in the document. Just know it will undergo rigorous testing and likely look different than that document in some capacity before release.
		+
		+	We will not release the Expanded Rework until ALL the expanded classes are done, so this will take some time. However, all the plans are there and we have a good vision already, so don't worry it shouldn't take us THAT long. Barring any major balance issues we'll be able to get through them quicker than you think. Very excited to share it all with you.
		+
		+	Appreciate everyone's patience with me as I took a month or so off of the server to reset my mental.
		+
		+	-Charlie
