Updated July, 23rd, 2020 at 5:30PM EST

Significant Changes to Housing has been made.  The server will be down longer than normal as first staff make the change, and then we have players log in for a full hour of checking on their own houses to make sure no unexpected problems crop up.

Mithril: Please make a copy of the shard before the update and put those files on the test server so we have a secure record to refer to if necessary.  Also, SAVE this copy in case we need a fresh version of it.

• All houses cost 3 x lockdowns in weekly rent unless they have been grandfathered. (See below)
  
• The starting lockdowns on all houses has been lowered to make them more affordable.
  
• All unrented houses now come with 1 secure.
  
• You can upgrade the lockdowns and secures yourself on the options tab of the housing sign under ''Adjust number of secures or lockdowns.'' Extra secures cost 250 gold on Cuiveinen and 500 gold on Summer Isle.
  
• You can have 9 houses per account.  Only two of which can be on Summer Isle.
  
• You can only have 1 shop per account, and a maximum of 8 vendors.
  
• Houses can now be decorated and resold by players.
  
• Co-owners can place deeds and make secure containers.
  

Grandfathered:
Only homes rented before the pricing change are grandfathered. Grandfathered homes will retain their previous rental cost UNLESS the new pricing structure is lower. As soon as a grandfathered house is demolished OR its lockdowns and secures are changed, the new pricing will take into effect. Do not change the lockdowns or secures on your grandfathered rental without looking carefully at the new pricing.

Updated September 1st, 8:00AM EST

Shard

• Staff members can now edit MOTD events
  
• You can now equip one handed weapons AND an instrument at the same time
  
• Book of Intonation will once again be sold by the Master Minstrel
  
• If you have training dummy targeting turned on for your auto-cast spells/abilities, you will now get a message that says "There are no dummies here to target" rather than the default "No valid target"
  
• Fixed the tooltips for Precision and Devotion spells and moves to be what they have been changed to
  
• Added Icon cool downs to Precision and Devotion spells/moves that have cool downs
  
• Devotions Remove Curse has had its name properly changed to Reverse Curse
  
• Mesmerize now has its proper 8 second cast time
  
• Song of Discord, Song of Withdrawal and War Chant now depend on Intonation for their AOE ranges instead of Musicianship
  
• You can now cast spells with instruments equipped
  
• Evocation skill title has been fixed to its proper title of Sorcerer
  
• The chance for a mob to become enraged due to damage when pacified has been increased a bit. This will be more noticeable when in a group as the more damage done within a time period increases the chance.
  
• .partner has been given two options that can be passed to it, bandage and spell (i.e. .partner bandage and .partner spell). This allows you to set two different partner targets, one for bandaging and one for beneficial spells that you cast (Druidry spells only for now)
  
• New dot command .strategy that allows you to choose the default targeting strategy that will be used for beneficial spells that you cast (Again, only Druidy spells for now). The options are self, partner and cursor. Self will cause the spells to target the caster automatically, partner will target the casters spell partner automatically and cursor will provide a targeting cursor to select a target automatically, much like the current Magery targeting
  
• .cast has been upgraded to allow you to pass a targeting strategy for that specific spell cast that can override your default (but does not change it). For example, if you have self set as your default targeting strategy (set via .strategy self) and you cast Restore Spirit via the command .cast 602 partner, your spell will target your spell partner, not yourself and your default strategy of self will not be changed.
  
• Spellweaving has become Druidry! Read all about it on the wiki http://www.sanctuaryshard.com/index.php?title=Druidry
  
• All Spellweaving books will become Tomes of Druid Knowledge
