Fixes

Looks good here other than one specific...

Increased the bulk capacity of Libraries to: 500, 1000, and 2000.

Will this translate to the lair Libraries as well? Pretty please?

[Knossos]

What with all the new stack needs with lots more drop only forms and techs the additional bulk should be accompanied by additional stack count for each of the three library tiers. Say perhaps 200, 400, 600?

Sorry, no stack increases.

Yes, walker, it applies to all libraries (plot and lair).

[Delite]

The following structures have been marked as obsolete: Small Blacksmith Shop, Small Clothworking Shop, Small Jewelry Shop, Small Leatherworking Shop, Small Scholar Shop, Small Stoneworking Shop, Small Woodworking Shop and will no longer appear on the Player Structure build list.

Is it really necessary to remove these shops?

I am currently in the process of building one of these shops. I understand there's no shop bonus to these shops, but due to the different tier levels of materials, I decided to build one to help level my skills from tier 2 to tier 3.

It is hard enough to get from tier 2 to tier 4 skill levels without the removal of these shops as one option to leveling up to tier 4.

[Knossos]

Sorry, no stack increases.

Is it not the same as my building more libraries of lower stack limit each instead of reducing my library count in favor of a higher stack limit? I have built 3 T6 and a T4 libraries. a T1 Human Guild house, 2 T2 Human Guild houses and an old style Human Guild House since the demise of lore tokens and ibm's and am still building more storage on our 16 Guild town Plots and 5 outlying ones. So stack increase I am getting the hard way. I would much rather decon some libraries and place more plot fluff.

Knossos

No, it isn't. Because players could still build exactly what you said, but with increased stack sizes. Sorry, at this time there are no plans to increase the stack size in structures.

[Guaran]

All of the "Druidic" crystals of Might have always had a higher damage range than the rest, except for the dim I believe. I always thought it was on purpose. From Pale to Radiant, all have a higher damage range.

[Malaya]

I see that the teleport at Helian's Tomb now has the destination. But I can't seem to find the quest required, where do I get it from ?

You must have completed the previous Plundered Tombs quest series and you get the first quest for Helian's Tomb from the Archbishop at the Cleric's Tower.

[Chasing]

100 formulas/techs with a stack of 200 of each to hit the 2000 bulk limit on a T6 library

Better off using T2 guildhouse on a plot.

Its a choice. Not sure why you'd need 200 of any particular formula or tech. More stacks are not forthcoming.
