Blight Delta 304 Istaria Community Manager September 24, 2018
	The obsolete consumable Ambrosia and the new Ambrosia of the Gods has had an erroneous tinting removed, allowing you to see its actual icon. All confectioner resources now have unique icons that accurately reflect what they are instead of question marks or re-used/duplicated unrelated ones. All finished confectioner foods that do not use a unique icon now use a tiered set of icons. Instead of all foods being brown, it now rests on tier-specific colored plates to let you distinguish what you are looking at at a glance. The plates follow the tier color pattern of trophies and junk loot. In addition to regular confectioner food icons being updated, rare foods have a variation of the icon in which lighter stripes are visible on the food, allowing you to distinguish them from regular food at a glance. Etherium Recharge Cells now use a green tint instead of the same tint as Class 6 Recharge Cells to better distinguish them. Ice Bolt spells and formulas use proper icons (vs Improved Ice Bolt icons) Read More...

Live Client 396.18.6 Istaria Community Manager August 17, 2018
	Features: The Saris, Sslik, and Khutit races have had their emotes revamped, similar to the dragons’ revamp of last year. This means: All emotes on these races will now play sound without requiring an _s added to the name. All sounds have been updated to utilize existing racial sounds rather than cartoonish sound effects or music. A few gender-related typos have been fixed in the emote text. A few animations were broken due to utilizing the wrong racial animations (kick, kickspin, please/beg, explain). These have been updated with animations that are proper for the race, preventing jaw clipping and other awkward broken limbs. All of these races can now use the same animations, meaning that the saris have now gained the emotes ‘explain’, ‘drink’, and ‘kick’! Various emotes that were simply renamed versions of other emotes have been hidden from the user interface, but can still be accessed via chat commands. These emotes include: beg, bye, cheer, growl, hello, peer, and shake. A new emote has been added to these three races: hover. Dragons have gained five new emotes: craft, pick, stand, stand2, and warcry. The original ‘stand’ emote can still be found under the new name ‘statue’.   Fixes: The Fox pet no longer howls. Icons for Draconic Celebration Cake and the bone components from the Almighty Cauldron have been corrected to not be cut off. Gnomes, dwarves, humans, half-giants, elves, and fiend females no longer use an incorrect animation file for gathering resources like sand and water. Treant Transition Animations
