Houses Revamped

With this update we revamped houses in Istaria on player plots. It is important to note that no existing structures are changed by this update. Anything in the process of being built will be able to be completed, and anything built will remain the same.

- Houses now come in different styles rather than being associated with particular races. Small, Medium and Large Houses come in 5 different styles each.
- Small houses hold 40 stacks, 4800 bulk. Medium Houses hold 60 stacks, 7200 bulk. Large Houses hold 80 stacks, 9600 bulk.
- Guild Houses are now either Basic, Small, Medium, Large, or Grand. Basic Guild Houses hold 110 stacks and 13200 bulk. Small Guild Houses hold 150 stacks and 18000 bulk. Medium Guild Houses hold 205 stacks and 24600 bulk. Large Guild Houses hold 280 stacks and 33600 bulk. And Grand Guild Houses hold 380 stacks and 45600 bulk.
- Resources have been modified across the board so that each structure requires only one tier of resource to complete. All construction resources are used in building a particular tier of house, with the resource requirements being closer to even in order to make leveling the various construction schools a bit easier.
- A Grand Guild House is meant to be a large project which requires the cooperation of players of various levels and therefore requires some of all construction materials to build.

Fall Festival

- PAX Istaria (the summer event) is over and NPC's have been removed for another year.
- The fall event, Hammer's Rest, has returned to the island of New Brommel. Players will find people to talk to across the island during this event, not just in the resort town of New Brommel itself.
- Added new Fall Harvest Mural and Fall Harvest Banner to options for players to build.
- Jacques, the Costume Vendor, now sells two new items for Fall wear, a shirt and a dragon headscale. (And his title has been changed to reflect this wider variety of stock.)
- Added player-submitted murals: Keeper, Helian Keeper, Lunus Keeper

NPCs and Monsters

- Moved Alina the Tavernkeeper back to her proper spot in Bristugo.
- Enraged Wisps (all tiers) now have a full range of special abilities to use as well as resistances and skills. They will once again give full XP when defeated.

- Mesoe the Healer Trainer in Kion will no longer speak about your "next adventure" since she offers no additional quests.

- Removed Dodge ability from Kwellen Berserkers.

- Tiered decorations for fall have had their resource requirements standarized. The Leaf Pile now requires more than just one resource unit to complete. Skulls now require 10 Sandstone Slabs and Skeletons will require 25 Sandstone Slabs (instead of a tech component) to complete.
- Thornwood Treants now have a fixed aggro radius that won't adjust based upon player rating.
- Update position of Ulaven so he's not in the ground.

- Frig Tallowgar, the Imperial Quartermaster at the Imperial Outpost now sells formulas for Master Cut Gem, Master Essence Orb, Master Fabric Spool, Master Metal Bar, Master Stone Brick, and Master Wood Board.

- Ahala Bruttien now offers two new quests to players who have completed the quest "Ahala's Sweet Tooth":
