Patch A.4.3

More bug fixes and adjustments. Mostly follow ups to messy A4.2 stuff.

Fantastic Auction House Adjustments and Bug Fixes

Per constructive feedback from the community we decided to switch the Fantastic Auction House to a Blind Bidding set up. This means that you won't be able to see the highest bids until the auction ends.

1.) No longer public bidding, you can bid and it will announce that you bid, but won't reveal how much.

2.) At the end of each auction listing, first and second place bidders are announced. First place still has 24 hours to claim their item. Second Place has 24 hours after that if first place does not claim their item.

3.) Items can no longer be +11. Additionally this also means every item was randomly 1 refine higher than it should have been. (i.e. if the random was +8 it would make a +9 instead) So this means less higher refines.

4.) The auction house will no longer attempt to auction off unrefineable items that are refined.

Party Finder Adjustments and Bug Fixes

Timming gunslinger hard carrying parties to where newbies feel like they dont even have to do anything in parties. Also adding a party kick feature to vote on kicking out someone who may just be AFK or not contributing.

1.) @partyfinderkick command enabled. Will check for greater than 50% of party member votes and then kick someone once the threshold is met.

2.) Desperado skill now deals 50% less damage in first job based parties and has a hard cooldown of 1.5 seconds while within the party.

3.) You can no longer change jobs while in a party finder queue or in the party finder party itself.

Adjustments

1.) Stalkers, Super Novice, and Expanded classes can use first class skills in mentor roles in a party finder map.

2.) You can now only join one party finder party at a time. (this is future proof and affects nothing currently)

3.) Manteau of Flame Heart (200) and Flame Rune Armor (500) are now rerollable for Magma Essence with Tristan in Yuno.

4.) December Costumes added back to the cash shop for individual purchase. These will last until February at which point they will be only available in the box as normal.

5.) 2 new loading screens added. (1 should have always been there but wasn't added to the list)

6.) Homunculus regen SP while walking again. (this is not official behavior, but we felt it was super annoying so we reverted an official rathena update)

7.) Deputy Purrnard added to the Sheriff's office in Rock Ridge. He will convert all your bandit tufts into bandit manes at once free of charge.

8.) Individual Loot maps distance check for auto loot extended from 15 to 20 cells.

Bug Fixes

1.) Healing consumables now heal for their normal values (both HP and SP) instead of 2.65x this.

2.) The fix that allowed you to use elemental converters and yggdrasil leaves in party finder parties last patch is now properly applied.

3.) The cooldown text for mentors in party finder now properly reflects its actual cooldown (6 hours, not 2)

4.) Tap should now just be automatically relearned when relearning quest skills on every class. (we provided extra checks to prevent some weird niche cases that were happening still)

5.) Rigid Nightmare Terror is now in the OCA/MCA pools.

6.) Mercury Riser now has a proper level requirement of Level 70.

7.) Branson NPC in Rock Ridge now displays a proper timer for when you can pick up an item potentially. Rules also reflect that Branson is for 2nd place bidders, not 1st place winners. And also the rules also stress that attempting to abuse the system in any capacity will result in a permanent ban.

8.) Muspellskoll cooldown bypass now costs 25 magma essence instead of 50.

9.) Map Flags for the Nightmare MVP Event including no penalty have been properly added.

10.) Flame Thrower shield can now be refined.

11.) You can no longer remove enchants with the card desocketer.

12.) Brute Resist enchants have been properly added as a choice for Vigilante Stole's 2nd enchant slot.

13.) Arc Elder Card in the CCS system now gives 3 currency value for secondary turn in and only requires 1 instead of 1 value for 3 cards requirement.

14.) Individual Loot maps now properly check distance for auto loot purposes.

Previous Patch Bug Fixes

These were not documented but we're putting them here so they are.

1.) Peco Classes now have their pecos automatically removed if they have not learned the cavalier mastery skill. (this prevents gepard crashes for your client)
