Lesser Aradoth

A massive update of the island of Lesser Aradoth was undertaken with this update. The goal of this change was to revamp the island to create a better flow for newer players that arrive from New Trismus. The player's experience on the island begins in Kion and progresses along a logical path down through Parsinia and Sslanis before ending at Lower Bridgeview and the link to the continent and Tier 2.

World

- Increased the hoard value on Galt's Blade so that the reward for the quest is of some value to dragons.

Monsters

- The majority of monsters on the island have had their levels re-adjusted to fit with the new progression. Monsters begin around level 10 near Kion and end near level 20 east/northeast of Sslanis. In addition, most of the spawns on the island have been touched or redrawn to provide a much better balance and progression and no more instant-respawns.
- Sand Beetles are now called Loricatus Beetles and the smallest variety (levels 1 to 5) no longer spawn around Kion.
- Wild Gruok Sows will now have one or two grulets which they spawn in combat and will follow them. Grouks will now ask for and give aid to any other gruok around them.
- Forest Crawler Workers have been removed. Soldiers have a smaller aggro radius, but will still give aid to other spiders in the area. Breeders spawn hatchlings as followers, but in smaller quantities. The Huntress and Blightbite have had their aggro radius decreased. Forest Crawlers now stay closer to the western forest, including The Huntress who has a much smaller area to patrol.

- Deer now spawn in greater numbers, but in a more confined area of the Sslanis Basin.

- Quest "Kill the Enraged Cedar Treants" will not be offered until players have reached lvl 17 due to the level of the mobs in the area.
- Quest "Slay Lt Vekh" has been modified (Vekh is not at the Blighted Outpost, so the quest did not make sense). It is now called "Clear Out the Blighted Outpost" and asks players to kill 20 of the Rotted Guards or Priests that spawn inside the region. The reward has also been adjusted accordingly.

- Swapped reward for quests "Kill Enraged Cedar Treants" and "Clear Out the Blighted Outpost" so that they make more sense.
- Changed some of the quests originally given out by Ssoren to be given instead by Guard Kerrak. This was done to "spread out" what quests are available at the same time after the revamp.

Mithril Canyons

A revamp of the Mithril Canyons region was undertaken in an effort to improve the consistency of resource and monster spawns as well as to remove the linked nature of all of the previous spawns. The canyon has been divided into sections - SW, S, SE, NW, N, and NE. Spawns between sections are not linked with one another.

- Redrew all of the resource and spawn regions within the canyons. Resource and spawn regions are no longer linked to each other. This will improve the rate of spawn as well as the consistency. For example, mining in the SW will no longer force all of the nodes elsewhere. They will continue to respawn in the SW.
- Mithril Golems now spawn along the southern side of the Canyons while Mithril Boulder Golems now spawn along the norther side of the canyons.
