Far away, sisters and brothers of the desert have divined that sand is not quite as abrasive anymore.

Enjoy.

The owner of the Assemble-An-Animal Workshop in Bes Pelargic has finally grown tired of the neverending stream of requests from customers asking him expand his available stock. To solve this problem once and for all, he has hired a tailor imp who will produce miniaturized versions of any weapon, shield, armour piece, or item of clothing that it is presented with. For a fee, of course.

Happy shopping!

I've made a couple of updates to everybody's favourite travelling shop:

- Several items have been removed from the stock list that were available elsewhere far more conveniently.

- Several brand new items have been added to the stock list.

- The stock list itself should now be a little more balanced when it comes to 'desirable' items versus 'toy' items or those with a very niche use.

- The shop's stock will fully refresh a few times a day, rather than waiting for a reboot or... other methods....

Your lovely creators have been busy this weekend, primarily waving big sticks and pointy things at the Gods of Dunmanifestin to demand a variety of fixes and changes relating to their faithful flocks. Here are the main highlights from what we managed to 'negotiate':

Shops & Items:

- Party hats are now available in the AM Hat Temple shop.

- A couple of different Hattian npcs in Djelibeybi have acquired some new headwear.

- The shop in the Djelibeybi Fish Temple now stocks a much better vari...

Ptune Pturban in the Djelibeybi Bazaar has decided to expand her sartorial offerings and now sells bespoke hijabs as well as veils. Her custom veils have also undergone some changes, but this will only affect new veils ordered after this blog post goes live. Any existing veils that have previously been purchased from Ptune will be unaffected.

I've added a help file for hijabs (including the non-custom ones that are in the normal stock list) to indicate the options you have for wearing them.

F...

I've made a few more changes to the DJB Language School to address some long-standing bugs. The two most noticeable changes are as follows:

1) If your teacher finishes their shift, or you are forced to log off, during your final exam, then your exam paper will now remember who you are and which questions you have already answered. You can log off without penalty and return when your teacher is available to finish and hand in your exam. In addition, if you somehow manage to lose your exam pape...

I've fixed a number of bugs and made a couple of adjustments in and around Djelibeybi. Some will have more of an impact on your day-to-day play than others, so I do suggest reading this one carefully.

- The language school textbooks should no longer have more than one word with the exact same Djelian translation, meaning players no longer have to guess which is the right word when given the translation and asked for the original word.

- Textbooks for learning the Klatchian language should...

Now that spring has well and truly sprung, your lovely creators have been hard at work weeding the garden that is the MUD codebase. The list of changes below might look small, but for each change you see here, there have been a multitude of other quiet little adjustments and fixes in response to various idea and bug reports. The changes you are likely to notice are as follows:

- A variety of climbable trees have had oddities fixed, such as properly responding to 'climb assess', and giving a ...

Borst Besensteel in Copperhead now sells broom stencils in his shop. These can be used in conjunction with a tin of paint and a small stencilling sponge[1] to apply a stencilled design to a broomstick.

Those wishing to apply a stencil to their broomstick will need a quite respectable degree of painting skill, and should be able to apply stencils to any kind of broomstick. Note that custom broomsticks can only be stencilled if they do not already feature a 'decoration' from Borst.

Important No...

Chefet, the Dog-Headed God of Metalworking, has decreed that the doors to His temple are to be thrown open to the public. Visitors to this sacred place (conveniently located off Petulia Avenue, Ephebe) are invited to witness the masterful feats of metalworking conducted in His honour and to fill the temple coffers by purchasing one of the many exquisite items crafted by His faithful. Those who wish to try their hand at creating fine works of their own are welcome to make use of the forging faci...
