100126 Upcoming deed changes

Because of upcoming deed changes the current traders no longer have settlement deeds available for purchase. You can read the current suggestion here.
The bugged items that could not be used were removed.
A small bug with item leftover material was fixed.

Aggressive spells now have a higher minimum effectiveness, removing the risk that you cast a successful but useless spell.
The cure spells were too easy to obtain for Fo priests, creating exploitability by turning priest before battles. You will now receive these at a faith level above 30.

There was a bug with life stealer causing a bug with wounds which was the cause for the unscheduled restart today
Some model changes were also introduced

The skill gain limitations on priests were removed for existing servers since this would put new priests too far behind
Vessel now reduces 3 quality levels instead of 1 for low quality gems

Rite of spring is now castable much more seldom, and with less reward.
You can now cast Vessel on gems of less than 10 quality level. If you succeed it looses 1 quality level but no favor is channelled into the gem. You use up only the base favor cost.
Wisdom of Vynora now has diminishing returns.
Those who can erupt now also can cool lava.
Drain stamina and Drain health now have minimum values but may need further buffing.

Decay was too high for certain item types such as dirt, logs and rock shards causing the item database to grow and slow down the game. A lot of these items that had already sustained damage were manually deleted during this maintenance restart.
A few other issues such as creature types and zombie states not being saved over restarts should work better in the future but that bug remained over this restart.

Welcome to a new Decade with Wurm Online. We start off with a few minor tweaks:
Bloodthirst effect increase was too easy. The increase is now determined by the damage you cause as well. Current effects were halved to bring it in line with future gains.
The damage reduction for champions turned out to be a bit too much. The 75% damage reduction has been lowered to 60%. Also Life Stealer items are a bit harder to use for champions.
An bug where simply trading with your own merchant reset the sales timer has been fixed. This is an unintended exploit, since merchants aren't supposed to be free safe storage. Another situation where this timer is reset may still be in but don't expect that forever. Please make sure your merchants starts selling stuff or expect them to humbly leave.
A bug with linking and leaving the area was fixed.
