End of April Events

• The Easter Event has ended and thus all the bunny spawns have finally been removed from the server.
• The limited free resets for Blacksmith and Gunslinger have been removed

Allegiance Changes

We are changing the allegiance bonus such that now a lot of the bonuses for being the winning allegiance have been modified to look at your personal number of light/dark points respectively. No players should be punished for something beyond their control, which is how the allegiance did as a team.

• Healer discount now takes place at 80 allegiance points
• Reset discount now takes place at 80 allegiance points
• Warper discount now takes place at 100 allegiance points
• Muspelheim discount now takes place at 120 allegiance points
• Malangdo costumes are no longer affected by allegiance points

Spawn Delay Changes

Some non-boss monsters have needlessly high spawn delay that are not in agreement with heRO philosophy to how we choose to customize the game. Here are the new rules to how heRO decides if a monster spawn should be made near-instantaneous. As always, heRO may revert some of these changes if GMs deem that some of these changes have unintended consequences after awhile.

• Monster is not a miniboss
• Monster does not affect Niflheim town (since that is controlled by Lord of Death invasion spawn mechanic)
• Only spawns that are completely randomized on the map with no fixed spawn points will be changed
• There must be more than 5 of it on a map without counting the fixed spawns
• Monster does not have plant level defense

With that in mind, the following monsters now spawn near-instantaneously:

• Agav
• Ancient Worm (Aldebaran Guild Dungeon)
• Anolian (Glastheim Culvert)
• Archer Skeleton (payon dungeon)
• Baba Yaga
• Baby Leopard
• Bloody Butterfly
• Breeze (odin temple)

• Desert Wolf (moc_fild15)
• Diabolic
• Disguise
• Echio
• Evil Nymph
• Freezer (Turtle Dungeon f4 only)
• Gazeti
• Gemini-S58 (Biolabs f2 only)
• Geographer (ein_fild04, ra_fild02)
• Giant Hornet (Aldebaran Guild Dungeon)
• Giant Spider (Aldebaran Guild Dungeon)
• Giearth (coal mine)
• Green Maiden
• Harpy
• Heater
• Hermit Plant (Gonryun f3 only)
• Hyegun
• Ice Titan
• Imp (Thor Volcano f1 only)
• Isis
• Jakk
• Jing Guai
• Killer Mantis (Aldebaran Guild Dungeon)
• Kobold Archer
• Lava Golem (Magma Dungeon)

• Shinobi (Amatsu dungeon f3 only)
• Side Winder (Louyang only)
• Soldier Skeleton (payon dungeon)
• Strouf
• The Paper
• Uzhas
• Vanberk (Rachel Sanctuary f1 only)
• Venomous
• Verit
• Wind Ghost
• Wood Goblin
• Zenorc

Exceptions to Spawn Delay Changes

• Gibbet: spawn timer halved, even though it is not fully randomized in spawns for nif_fild02
• Loli Ruri: spawn timer halved, even though it is not fully randomized in spawns
• Mavkas: they "qualify" but we see no need to make them spawn even faster for economic reasons
• Mi Gao: spawn timer removed, even though it is not fully randomized in spawns
• Stem Worm (lhz_fild03): they are technically not fully randomized, but their spawn delay is removed anyway since their spawn area is so big
• Venatu (all color): they are technically not fully randomized, but their spawn delay is removed anyway since their spawn area is so big

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where Steal creates unintended global broadcasts
• Fixed an issue where Bombardier gear set for Gunslinger does not recognize grenade launchers
• Some Faeheim/Lutia shops now use the new interface shop menu
• There are some other back-end changes but they should have no visible effect to players
