Items

• Blue Ki Controllers; Now is part of the Like A Dragon set, due to popular demand.
  
• Ninja Kote; Mozu Otoshi now cannot be parried and it ignores evasion (because you can't dodge the ground).
  

Monsters

• Additional adjustments/PvE features will be added in future updates.
  

Event Tools

• Added a new linked object for lighting (/obj/placeable/linked_obj/ignore_mouse/light_circle), which is similar to the other ignore_mouse obj, except this spawns a lighting circle that can be customized.
  

ETC

• Rainbow Ki's aura effect is now transparent to the mouse.
  
• Gathering success rate for enemy corpses is now 35% (from 25%).
  
• Added a 'toggle-conceal' verb for items; this individualized setting allows items that would normally be concealed by the Concealment talent to be viewed in your profile, but still hiding information that would be hidden by that talent. (IE, it'll only show things like weapon type, name, description, and icon).
  
• Added a weapon icon display for; basic attacks, damage instances, Special Strike triggers.
  
• Item descriptions now use 515's support for rendering obj references in the browser. (You won't notice anything different! Means that the item icons don't get dropped into the cache though.)

- Fixed a bug where all parties in a battle simultaneously being incapacitated would cause the battle to freeze.
- Fixed Wear Down (potential skill)'s description as it erroneously said Wear Down (status) reduced Armor by 5 x LV instead of just LV.
- Various forum bug fixes.

Event Tools

• Added a 'scale' option to placeable edit mode. (1 by default, can scale between 0.1 ~ 200. A value of 2 means it is twice as large.)
  
• Added a new 'linked object' placeable. (/obj/placeable/linked_obj/ignore_mouse).
  
  
  
  • 
    
  • These objects are invisible but are tied to a secondary placeable which ignores mouse clicks. Changing the icon, or using edit mode, on the linked object will edit the secondary one instead.
    
  • This allows you to, for example, create overlays such as darkness, etc. without causing objects or tiles underneath of them to become unclickable.
    
  • When placed in a palette, these objects retain the specifications of the secondary placeable.
    
  • The secondary placeable is tied to the location of the linked object, so you can move it around via mouse drop or puppet mode just fine.
    
  • Using the icon state selector will use the icon of the secondary object and change it accordingly.
    

Support Shop

• New item; Rainbow Ki (500 Asagorians); A special item that lets you select a custom color; that color is used for various Monk ki-based skills. Specifically, it affects the following skills: Ki Awoken, Ki Blast, Terra Strike, Dragon Gale, Setting Sun, Kadouha, Power Up
  
  Additionally, you can use the item to create an aura around your character (does not carry over into battle). You can also drag and drop the item from your item belt to a tile in view to launch a ki blast at it (purely visual).

Special Strikes

• Added an animation for when a Special Strike triggers.
  
• Trigger Cooldown changed to 2 rounds (from 3).
  
• Triggering a Special Strike that still performs the basic attack (such as Thunder Strike) makes that basic attack unpreventable by effects that could negate them, such as Spirit Pain, Shadowscale, etc.
  
• Arcanic Pierce; Elemental resistance piercing effect now lasts 3 rounds (from 1 round).
  
• Air Explosion; Now also deals 35 armor-ignoring Wind magic bonus damage to the target on hit.

2.83
Stolen Spellcards

• Copied spells (IE, stolen spells from Spellthief) now become Spellcards when unequipped. There are two kinds of Spellcards; Green, the default version, which are non-trade items that can be used to re-equip the stolen spell, and Purple, which are functionally the same, but can be traded and stored, etc.
  
• Added a Blank Spellcard recipe to the Enchanting craft. 1 of these is necessary to change a Green spellcard into a Purple one.
  
• Essentially, these allow you to retain spells you have stolen with Spellthief as items, so that when you want to switch back to the class, all you have to do is use the items to get your spells back.
  
• Copied spells retain their temporary/permanent status even if you equip/unequip them multiple times.
  
• Copied spells in the skill pool now have a small card icon in the bottom left to show that they are copied spells, as well as their status; gray for temporary, purple for permanent.

If you notice any ways to obtain/trade/store/etc items where the item's uniqueness is not retained (IE, it becomes just 'Spellcard' instead of 'Spellcard (Spell Name)'), please report it. Same for if there are any other oddities with these systems, please test them to make sure I didn't miss anything!

2.80
Battlefield Circles

• Added Battlefield Circles, and Temporary Battlefield Circles.
  
• These are interactive objects that you can use to start multi-party PvP battles with up to 12 different parties.
  
• Various parameters can be adjusted for these battles, including things like Max HP/FP Multipliers, Damage Scaling, etc. (Temporary circles can be right-clicked to do so, while permanent circles can be interacted with normally.)
  
• Temporary circles can be spawned anywhere by clicking a new HUD button. They will disappear when the creator leaves the queue.
  
• Permanent circles are sandbox objects that can be crafted via Construction. Additional map selections can be added to them by crafting Cartographer's Memory items and fusing them with the circle. (As a heads up, both the circle and memory items are a bit expensive!)
  
• Due to the expensive nature of these items, permanent circle items cannot be attacked, nor can they be dismantled by anyone except their placer (or a GM). When dismantled, all Cartographer's Memory items fused with it will return to that person's inventory.
  
• If someone has placed one in an undesirable or disruptive spot, please notify a GM. As with all sandbox objects, abuse may lead to your inability to utilize these features.
