See you in-game! ⚔️🛡️

• The Celtic Idol dye tub can now dye more statues, including Ebris, Pyros, and Tethys statues.

• A new 3 year veteran reward has been added. It is a veteran death shroud deed that can change chest armor to look like a death shroud. This deed is everlasting. It also comes with a special dye tub with all the colors of the existing veteran death shrouds.

Players who already own a veteran death shroud can swap them for the new reward at any item fixer in the game. You can find one at the counselor's guild in Britain.

• Murderers can no longer use camouflage potions

House Refresh Improvements

• when you login to the game, if you own any houses, the houses will immediately be sent a refresh signal and your character will receive a confirmation message to let you know it's been refreshed
• house refresh confirmation messages will now show the house's name, location, region and the time it was refreshed, to make it easier to keep track of house refresh times in cases where you might be away for a while
• improved refreshing house through interacting with items in the house like lockdowns, containers, doors, and the house sign; previously there was a cooldown between these interactions to prevent spamming "the house has been refreshed" to players, instead now it will perform the refresh and only avoid the system message spam
• reminder: if you need to be away from the game for longer than 3-4 weeks, please contact us for Vacation Hold on your houses, where we can hold them for up to 90 days of leave

Vendor Deeds:

• added gender selection when using vendor deeds

Holiday items are currently restricted from being inserted into the House Resource/Gear Chests due to unique properties that holiday items can have, such as the tooltip, color, or other attributes that may not be retained properly when inserting and removing them from these chests. In the future we will try to improve the system so it can handle unique items more readily. Thanks for your understanding & apologies for the inconvenience
