v1.18.1 has been released. While only a "minor version" update, it contains some huge game-play changes. See below for the details:

- Offensive Charms now have a % chance to hit all monsters in catacombs per cast. The % chance is based upon your proficiency and the size of your group (full group = more % chance)- Market will now correctly let you have 10 items under 20fg cost, whether you have higher priced items already listed or not
- Unsold (0fg) items on the market now count towards your amount, with a hard limit of 10, even if the item is priced at 20fg or higher
- Using glyphs in the arena will no longer reset your MCC
- Chatlog (L) now updates while open (do not have to close and reopen it, can just leave it open if you want)
- Cap on unspawnable Life Steal items has been lifted (** subject to change again at a future time, of course)
- Cap on effective EE now adjusted to be +20EE over the tier max. (This affects high proficiencies on high EE items, as well as unspawnables)- Client will now correctly display the "adjusted" damage/defense ranges of items based upon EE caps (per above).
- Click and hold now works for Fishing, Cooking, and Transmuting
- Proficiency points gained now displays after completing a skill (eg; +3 will popup within the Skill window, etc.)
- Character class will now show up in a /find command following the character name (2 letter abbreviation, like catacombs)

Make sure you refresh/clear cache so your client says v1.18.1 at the bottom right corner during login.

this is the first update for quite some time that gives absolutely nobody (exept benell :P) a reason to complain.
only nice changes, thanks for that paul

Now that's what I'm talking about

Can I cata with you? I'll tank

wow insane prof McClain

Thanks Paul for the update

I for the unnspawnable robe I no longer have. Enjoy, slashers!

I personally like:

"- Offensive Charms now have a % chance to hit all monsters in catacombs per cast. The % chance is based upon your proficiency and the size of your group (full group = more % chance)"

I'll have to do some testing to see how often the AoE casts, but it looks promising! As much as I like Healing, offensive casting is what I prefer, thanks Njaguar!
