Client Update

Anne Dimitri

Christmas Event

Added the new Pink Santa Hat and Black Christmas Scythe items to the Giant Christmas Cracker's very rare table;
Added the full Green Santa Costume to Santa Claus's shop. These are trade-able items;

Dave's Spellbook

You can now obtain the Evil Dave's spellbook from himself in Edgeville basement, or from May's Quest Caravan;
The spellbook can be stored with Diango;
Normal teleport tablets can be used on the spellbook to 'chip' them, which, when used, brings you to a custom destination;
Chipped tablets can also be used on the book to store them. The book can then be used to 'Teleport with' and will use up that stored tablet;
Also added the 'Read' option, which tells a little more about how Dave ended up discovering the chipped tablets;
Added Doris and her full dialogue;

Godwars 1

Kill-counts will no longer reset when re-entering the area and will be saved throughout logins;
The maximum kill-count you can store for each faction is: 50;
The kill-count overlay (and its mechanics) will now properly trigger when inside boss rooms, this means you'll be able to earn the 25 kill-count requirement AGAIN in the boss room itself;
Removed the "is under combat" check when praying at the Altar in each boss room;

Ore Box

Ore boxes can now be used to store Stone Spirits of any kind;
Stone spirits stored inside Ore boxes will get used up when Mining just like as if they were in your inventory;

Wilderness

Mandrith: Players will now only gain half of the Slayer Points on task completion if they opted-out for PvP;
Mandrith: Players will now only gain half of the Slayer EXP per NPC killed if they opted-out for PvP;
Mandrith: Players will now only gain half of the Emblem Potential on task completion if they opted-out for PvP;
These values are at their original values if opted-in, this makes it a nice risk-reward scenario;
Dieing in the Wilderness while opted out of PvP will no longer count it as a PvP death, and will no longer drop your items on the ground;
The pocket slot item will now be correctly accounted for when 'dropped items on death' is calculated;

Miscellaneous

Changed the Construction EXP Players receive when adding Wrapping Paper to the Giant Christmas Cracker at home by /10. The value is now 1xp per 1 wrapping paper;

Set the TzHaar Whip's base price to 5M coins since it can be upgraded to Tier 70;

Your Hitpoints gauge near the minimap will now turn green if you're poisoned. It can now also be clicked on to 'Cure' yourself which will attempt to drink an anti-poison potion of any kind from your inventory;
Purple and Pink Santa hats may now be used on 'Santa Beard' to create Santa hats with beard;
