Greetings.
I just wanted to stop by and give you folks an update on (some of) what's in the pipes. I just made two releases and submitted three other projects for QC. Here's a quick rundown:
Releases:
These are currently live everywhere.
1) I made a resource tweak (invisible to you guys) in how caravans identify POC interior rooms for messaging when it arrives at its destination.
2) Shipping clerks will now tell you what your local dues are. Just ASK CLERK ABOUT DUES. It's in your ledger, but this is a more direct way of checking.
In QC:
These just went into QC. It can take a month (sometimes longer) to clear that, but we all hope sooner rather than later. I plan to make the releases as they clear.
1) I'm not sure how you guys refer to these items, but behind the curtain we call them "trader jewelry". They're special items that traders can get more appraisal info from regarding the various materials used to craft an item. There was an issue in how experience was being awarded for them that Arnimas and I tracked down; they should teach better once this update is released, though due to a cap in core APPRAISE mechs some of you may not notice. That's a separate issue that we're still sorting out, and I didn't want to hold this up while dealing with that.
2) You'll be able to ADJUST feedbags to change where they're worn. This will be something you'll need to see an alterer to have "unlocked" for your item in most cases. We may see about adding unlocked feedbags to the trader shops at some point, but in general, buying one that's already unlocked will be reserved for fests, auctions and quest treasure. Any LIVE alterer (sorry, no LTB scrolls) will be allowed to unlock this feature in any feedbag that currently can't be adjusted. It will be up to the alterer to decide if it makes sense for him/her to do it.
3) The attendant hireling will soon be getting an INVENTORY option. As long as you're holding a container in your right hand, he'll rummage through it and provide you with a vault-book style list of its contents. There's no fee for this.
I'm also looking into the requested tweaks to SPECULATE COIN, but that's fairly involved and touches on combat mechanics that I'm not familiar with just yet. My list of "some day" projects continues to grow, largely based on requests I've pulled directly from these boards, and I certainly have other projects I'm working on that I'm not ready to talk about at this time.
Just the same, I wanted to stop by and give you an update on the things I could. As always, more to come!
