Farming#
- Every animal now eats from the trough. A sack of Animal Feed feeds 8 hens, 4 geese, 2 sheep or 1 cow for a game day, and young eat half. Before, one sack fed the whole pen for a day, whatever was in it
- The trough holds 28 sacks (was 7). Feed already in your trough is kept
- Young animals and brooding eggs only grow and hatch while a grown female of their breed is in the pen. Without one they wait; nothing is lost
- Leave to brood now needs a grown hen
- New: Throw out a brooding egg, Slaughter young ones (they give nothing), and Slaughter all at the gate, which asks twice
- Clicking a trough, muck heap, nest boxes or an animal in the world walks you over to it. Manage from beside the fence walks you to the gate. Pen window buttons still work from the gate
- Fibre patch levels: Hemp 7, Flax 17, Stinkreed 27, Toetoe 37, Sunthread 47 (each was one lower)
- New fibre: Bogsilk, from Bogsilk Seed. Plant it at Farming 67 (9 seeds) for 250 XP, 75 XP per harvest
NPCs#
- New Swamp Troll (combat 72) in the deep Great Swamp, trailing a green stink cloud. It drops a big pile of Troll Hide every kill and is the only source of Bogsilk Seed
- Hespera the Bloodwitch now drops Hex Beads, Witch's Eyes and Swamp Dragon Hearts, and no longer drops Witch's Heartblood

- Fishmonger's Stall starts with no Raw Sturgeon, Barnacle Bass, Stormjaw or Vesperfin. It still trades them
- Fletcher's Stall now trades arrowheads, arrow shafts and bowstrings

Connection#
- Logins on slow or long-ping connections no longer time out. The game keeps its item list on your computer, so later logins skip that download
- If entering the world fails, the game tries once more by itself
- After a dropped connection, chat fills in only what you missed
Chat#
- New Interface setting Default chat: Say or World. On World, plain lines from the All, Chat and System tabs go to World; /s still talks nearby
- Chat reopens on the last tab you used
World#
- Overcast skies turn properly grey, darkest at the horizon; storm clouds are darker and more ragged
- Two new herb patches by Nim Garrow's camp in the Great Swamp
- Two Tyrian rocks are gone
Fixes#
- Right-click follow-up menus, such as clan Rename ranks, open properly
- A fishing spot with fish left no longer shows 0%
