removedNerfed Dethard, unfortunately he was able to learn spells that made him really fricking overpowered then what he already is. He is no longer able to learn spells like "Death Count" and "Omega". If you already have these spells in your save, then Ignore this.
fixedGeneral bug Fixes, I have fixed a multitude of bugs ranging from "oh that's weird" to "That's game breaking". These bugs included the Orb stack glitch, which allowed for max stats on weapons and armor, to combat this. Once you augment a piece of equipment, it is permanent. So choose wisely.

Life and Love Update

Features that I added include are the following:

  1. Monster hunter guilds all over Mest Jest! Strike down those NM's and get rewarded for it! An MHG has been added to Ja'dolin and P'ran, with new bounty quests!

  2. NPC Lore! Each city has been updated to have more NPCs with special dialog for each npc, from complains about life, to lore about the city. The world of Mest Jest has gotten bigger and ready to explore!

  3. Fixed/Added new Quests. Hop into the new bounty quests as well as some new quests in some cities! I have also fixed some quests not working/ not appearing.

  4. Nerfed Dethard, unfortunately he was able to learn spells that made him really fricking overpowered then what he already is. He is no longer able to learn spells like "Death Count" and "Omega". If you already have these spells in your save, then Ignore this.

  5. General bug Fixes, I have fixed a multitude of bugs ranging from "oh that's weird" to "That's game breaking". These bugs included the Orb stack glitch, which allowed for max stats on weapons and armor, to combat this. Once you augment a piece of equipment, it is permanent. So choose wisely.

  6. Beast-master fixes. I believe I have fixed the problem with Beast-master regarding the monsters bugging out the system. The problem with it was that it was trying to read every single weapon that could be Duel Wielded, and since all the weapons besides the broths didn't have a sprite. It would cause an error. This has being fixed and tested on my end, but I can't say it won't break. Just because during my testing it worked as intented.

  7. Reworked Kakata Raising. You can know have kakatas with stats! The main one being Loyalty. The stats currently don't do anything as of right now. But, in the next update they will play a big role in events like Kakata racing, digging and fighting. That's right, fighting. Bird Up.

  8. NPC Recognitions. Npcs in towns will give special dialog regarding to who is in your party, so keep a look out!

Thank you all for baring with me these couple of months, I say this again. I am sorry, I really love this project and I want to continue working on it. This is my baby, and it takes me back to my days of FFXI.

With everything going on in my life, it has gotten harder to work on it. But rest assured. The DLC will come out, and you guys will get to enjoy all the new content that comes with it.

If you want more updates regarding Ebonside, do think about joining the Discord! Until then Enjoy the new update and if you find any bugs, either make a post on the discussions board or post them in the #Bugs tab in discord.
