'''Updated Content and Functionality'''

·         A new tower defense type game has been added to Dereth. This is a test of strategy intended for Society Masters. Rank up and make sure you check it out!

·         A new daily kill task has been added which will have shifting objectives each month.

·         High yield chests should no longer drop dinnerware in their primary profiles though they still have a very small chance at dinnerware in their secondary profile.

·         Weapons with new tier stats in 420 and 400 wield should be far more common.

·         Armor sets now have a higher chance of dropping.

·         All armor sets now have an equal chance of dropping instead of favoring some over others, now get out there and complete your sets!

·         The first part of a new expanding exploration quest has been added to the world. Get out there and find the first markers!

·         A bug with the Blind Snowman quest has been fixed.

·         Monster fights have been adjusted and should now be functioning more as they were intended to.

·         The snow is here!

·         The Snowmen have finally started to appear on the landscape. The scarecrows have gone in until next season.

·         You can now turn in Runed weapons for experience in that weapon skill



So there are just some of the things we have in store for Asheron's Call in January. Please remember that along with everything listed here, there are several new quests and exciting things going into the game for the January event.
