-DUE TO THE MASSIVE ARMOR CHANGES THIS UPDATE, CRAFTING IS FREE UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE. IT WILL SAY CRAFTING COSTS GOLD AND HAS A DC, BUT YOU WILL NOT PAY ANY GOLD OR FAIL WHEN YOU ATTEMPT IT. -Cleaned up unused placeables. Please report any missing ones. -Added three new stat artifacts, Tymora's Lucky Charm (+1 to all saves; +20 to all skills once/day), Sigil of Mystra (+1 spell penetration; +1 caster level once/day), and Tear of Selune (increased movement speed; blind enemies once/day). These drop as BURs. -Added more URs and more set loot to the Hells. -Barbarians who enter Shapestrong Rage may use their rage token a second time to change to an alternate appearance (for both male and female barbarians). -Unlimited ammo containers and pet summoners have been reworked. You may need to get a new pet summoner from the pedestal if you had one before. -Medium and light armors have had their maximum dexterity bonus changed. See the Class and Equipment board for details. -Upgraded and rebalanced many UR and Hells set armors. Also upgraded a few other URs. -The druid Veil of Mists epic now grants amnesia immunity while shifted. -The Breath of the Beast from the Orb of Dragonkind now recharges every 5 minutes, and does more damage. -The Bastion of the Fallen Lord and the Serpent's Coil have been upgraded. Pass them through the bank to update them. -Immunity to the Flesh to Stone spell on items will now grant immunity to most petrification effects. -Added Guild Discovery, Guild Hellstorm, and Guild Mith Kuldar. Guild additions are off limits again for the time being until unused resources can be cleaned up. -Bug and exploit fixes.

Do all armors and such need to be passed thru the bank as well? I'll bet I have items on my toons that have had upgrades I didn't know about. Saric's Slippers for instance I never noticed an update mentioning them and until I saw the upgraded ones in a loot split I would never know. Is there no way to make a pedastel or maybe even a small mod outside of HG that still shares the vault and database that on activation or login either checks all your items for upgrades or just replaces all your items with new ones. Or maybe at least items of a certain rarity? EDIT: ______________ A quick search did turn up this post with Saric's slippers highergroundpoa.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=MODUpdate&action=display&n=1&thread=185&page=1So I suppose I can just go back through the update threads. You guys do enough work - disregard my ramblings above.

We've put a system in that automatically updates changed items when you log in.

will these armors auto update on login? i'm somewhat worried, that my armors will all drop to the ground when i log my mule, since they are all in chests and there isn't really any room left in the inventory.
edit: just saw acaos' last reply. anything i can do to keep that from happening?

Log in another char, make sure nobody's around, then log the bank, give a server-shout for Dodrudon, then log off (without picking anything up). I believe items only update when they're put on (they de-equip themselves). If not, then only one armor should drop to the ground, because that one wouldn't have room to put itself back in inventory, but the others would because the first dropped to the ground.

Most of the updated armor was UR. If you're carrying enough UR armor to overflow your inventory, you may wish to free up some space. Now would be the appropriate time to do that, as the update has not yet been put in place.
Items stored in the bank chests automatically update after updates as well, so storing them in your bank's personal storage chest would also work perfectly.
Dodrudon: We've changed updated items to update on login at the docks, rather than on equip.

Is there a place to see what UR's / Hell items are upgraded? Or will there be a message indicating the item was changed when we log on?
Also, a question about the Tymora's Lucky Charm...is the +20 to skills once per day part of the 50 Max per items or on top of it?
Peace, John.

All updated items except the two Asmodeus artifacts will auto-update on login once the update is loaded. The artifacts would go BOOM, so that's why they're specifically called out. Part of the 50 max. Acaos

I cannot seem to get this to work? Do I need to get a new shapestrong device?

Dodrudon is correct. The upload is complete, but doom and suffering have not yet been rained down upon the servers by our intrepid crew of DMs.
Soon the shouts of 'reset for update' will go out. Soon the players will wail and gnash their teeth. Torment will abound, and you will know pain and misery.
Then the update will come. Free flowers and kittens for everyone. Keep an eye out for the last build in the start message to be '5-29-07'.

My mule exploded strewing UR armor around the surrounding area, it was funny though.

KaBLOOey....
Was the ammo given better stats? Or just the look changed?
