Hello there and welcome to the May 2008 Release notes! Lets see what is new and exciting in Dereth this month.
<br><br>
'''New Content and Updated Functionality'''<br>
As a way of saying thank you to our players for their understanding while we worked through our server issues a couple months back, we will be offering each player a choice of reward items. When players log in to the game after the May event goes live, they will be able to speak to an NPC who will give them a token they can use to choose one of several special items. The items players can choose from are:

# One free level. If a player who is level 275 accidentally chooses this reward, the will get their token back to choose another item.
# Aerbax Pack Doll
# One 25 use key to golden chest at one of the three casinos. For this event we have slightly increased the luck on the Casino chests.
# One foolproof bag of one of the following salvage types
#* Aquamarine
#* Black Garnet
#* Black Opal
#* Emerald
#* Fire Opal
#* Imperial Topaz
#* Jet
#* Red Garnet
#* Sunstone
#* White Sapphire
#* Peridot
#* Yellow Topaz
#* Zircon
# 20 Enhanced Health Elixirs (200 health) There is a 5 minute cooldown on the use of each potion.
# 20 Enhanced Mana Elixir (200 mana) There is a 5 minute cooldown on the use of each potion.
<br>Locked fellowships will now transfer leadership to the next in line when the leader drops so that the leader can be re-invited. There will only be a 15 minute window in which this option is viable. So if after 15 minutes, the leader has not returned, they will not be able to be re-invited to the fellowship. This fix also resolves the issue of players not being able to rejoin a fellowship after being dropped more than once.
<br><br>Hoshino Kei is no longer in two places at once.
<br><br>Based on player feedback, we have gone through current spells in the game to ensure that spells are not overwriting each other improperly.
<br><br>The reward NPC for the Burun Kings quests and the Deep no longer give out title tokens. They will now just give players the title, rather than the token.
<br><br>Due to technical reasons, any Dark scarabs that players have when the worlds come down for the May event, will be gone when the worlds come back up. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause players.
<br><br>The invoker quest and the Burun Kings quest have both had their XP rewards updated to higher amounts.
<br><br>Items with Cooldown timers now have a visible countdown on their icon. This should allow players to more easily tell when an item is ready to be used again.
<br><br>Graveyard Wisps now show their correct level to better reflect the difficulty of fighting them.
<br>Some strange new forts have appeared in the waters around Dereth. Players may want to investigate these strange structures.
