Blight Delta 310.6 Istaria Community Manager April 1, 2020
	Welger Arena changes: Quests will no longer check the quantity of Challenge Tokens you have in your inventory, but they are now level restricted (T1 to 50, T2 to 70, T3 to 90 and T4 to 100). They now award XP when completed appropriate to the minimum level they can be received. Rewards sold by Challenge Master are now tiered by adventure levels and expanded to level 100. Prices have been adjusted to fit current Challenge Tokens quests awards.                                                                                                  T2 and T3 Heroes now drop trophies appropriate for their level. Additional trophy quests have been added to Trophy Hunters. Gudal drops a bounty item that will interest a Bounty Master who has arrived at the Eastern Outpost. All Welger Heroes have a chance to drop a Challenge Token of their level. New T1 to T3 Hero challengers (Expert and Master) joined the arena with daily quests. But you have to defeat all challengers of a Tier every day to unlock the quests. Gudal the Champion will come in an Exalted version once a week to the arena. Prepare yourself for a fierce battle and take friends with you... really.... You can now only take one arena quest at a time. Welger Heroes, as well as various Welger bosses around the Ruin of Tazoon, will properly have Welger traits as designed. Welger traits are random augmentations giving monsters a bonus. The number of traits they can have varies with their level. Read More...

Content Preview: 20.2 Live Update Istaria Community Manager April 1, 2020
	Hello Istarians! We’ve been hard at work with our second update for the year of 2020 and we’re excited to announce what we have in store! These changes are in the final stages of testing, and we hope to release them sooner than later. We’re too excited not to share, though, so we’re releasing our notes early! General Portliness and muscularity now have functions. Portliness increases your defense, but lowers your attack speed. You require more food to decrease death point timers. Muscularity increases your damage, but you must obtain and drink protein shakes to maintain your visage. Dragons and Sslik can now embark on the RoG (Rite of Gender) quest to obtain a defined gender. Dimorphism is included. Eating food which has been in a tavern for too long might give you a food poisoning debuff, making it important to make fresh food. The heat of Dralk will now cause bipeds to take intense damage unless wearing a Dragonscale Cloak. Standing in Lantenal’s lava pool will now result in him turning hostile. Gifted who stand too near the Tazoon whirlpool for too long will become irradiated and emit light for a short period. You now have to pay rent to the Empire on your vault. Defaulting may result in the Empire's tax collectors paying you a visit ingame - this provides a necessary coin sink. An epic version of Polymorph Splash Potions is now available - Polymorph Wave. These potions’ effects are city-wide and do not require grouping. Requires epic materials. Areas outside of cities, as they are not able to be monitored by the Empire, now allow PvP. Read More...

	Client Features: Locked hotbar also prevents buttons from being moved. Ability to click on a Product of a formula and see details to easily do side by side comparisons. Global broadcast messages will appear in their own popup window (previously was in the chat). Made shutdown even faster! Support for alert channel for pop-up global alerts Fixes: Large Cargo Disk icons (Knut’s) are no longer misaligned on the Equipment Window. Fixed property window - Map tab causing crashes when opened far away from the plot. HotkeyEditor : Clear tool tip and icon when list is empty. Now displaying skills below base value in red Fixed an issue that caused players who are sitting to be incorrectly standing if you leave the area they’re in and then return. Fix pressing the refresh button on a community inventory window (like a silo) and was closing the inventory. Fixed crash with very high resolutions (tested 8000 x 8000 and all good)
