5) Several bugs have been fixed.
6) Due to balance issues and poor development, guards of special classes will no longer appear: paladin, assassin, vampire.

Relic jewelry appeared in the world - a logical evolution of Ancient Magic jewelry. They drop only in the war projection from any mob, on average one item per 1kk of base experience (the same probability as the drum of war, but without increasing it for bosses). Unlike Ancient Magic:
1) The base gives 16 (instead of 12) protection from magic, 4 (instead of 3) necro strength, 6.0 (instead of 5.0) Necromancy.
2) Three random stats +7 (instead of +5).
3) Five random skills +6.0 (instead of +5.0).
4) Added to the list of skills: Healing, Resisting Spells, Parrying, Poisoning, Spirit Speak. Wrestling skill removed.
Since Poisoning can now be raised, it has been added that Paralyze Poison can only be used by Assassins. Earrings give a double bonus (two stones).

1) The bonus to magic defence from enchanting jewelry is now half the plus value. For the case of odd enchantment, half points of magical protection have been introduced.
2) Improved of Frost jewels:
- of Berserking  now gives life regeneration (instead of stamina), 15 dexterity (<- 10), 20 magic defence (<- 15);
- of Wizardry adds 20 magic defence (instead of 15);
- of Defence 22 magic defence (instead of 20).
3) Sky Mustang is added to Reinar's store for 399 gods stones.
4) Returned the 45 magic defence for Divine Platemail set, as it was until August 2023.
5) The base bonus to magic defence for all gems, except Ruby, as well as Ancient jewels, is increased by 2. For Ruby, it is increased by 1. An increase of 2 makes the magic protection equal to what it was before the changes when wearing +5 jewelry.

1) Adventurer Leonid has appeared in Minoc, with quests that are an alternative way to obtain Stone of Forgotten Power and Ball of Augur (passes to top bosses).
2) The boss Lord Baldura has been significantly updated. It has become more difficult, but the probability of a special drop is now 100%. Undead runes now provide a 50% bonus to damage against this boss.
3) The Asmodisaar boss has been slightly updated to make it more difficult.
4) Fixed that some artifacts were not created with the durability that was intended.
