Following the merger, only these societies remain:* Nettleville Hovel: The Elusive Commonwealth* Starcrest Commune: The Luminary Cache* Graystone Yard: The Stalwart Township* Castleview Hamlet: Charter of the Truthbringer* Willow Wood: Wayfarer's Stockpilers* The Baubbleshire: The Deductive Directory* Big Bend: The Ransacker's Annex* Stonestair Byway: The Brokerage of Nepeta Cataria* Temple Street: The Circle of Vaniki* Beggar's Court: The Ring of Wanderlust* Longshadow Alley: The Dark Bargainers* Scale Yard: The War Hagglers- With the new changes to recipes no longer requiring subcombines, the cities of Freeport and Qeynos have been forced to do inventory and sell or reforge many of their overstocked supplies. Until this is finished, they will not be giving out any new work orders for crafted items. Both Lucan and Antonia apologize for the inconvenience this may cause some business owners and thank you for your patience until this matter is resolved.- The tradeskill trainers have been moved outside each of the tradeskill instances. These trainers will give new crafters their initial training and first set of recipes if they did not learn their skills on the Outpost of the Overlord or the Queen's Colony before sailing to the city.- Tradeskill-related harvestables now have a chance to give multiple items in a single harvest. As your skill increases over the maximum skill for that 10 level range, you increase your chances at getting rares and multiple item harvests.- Changed Gem/Precious Metal harvest rare drops to be more inline with what other classes drop rates are instead of being twice as common.- Common loam is now a little less common for the level 60-70 range, as it is not used as frequently as metal.- Changed the 60-70 Harvesting nodes that drop Heritage harvests so they don't interfere with normal drop rates for rares. You will now get your normal harvest chance even if you gain one of the heritage harvest rares.- Harvesting nodes for fungus / alchemy have been removed from the game.<p>Message Edited by HaCkHaCkER on <span class=date_text>05-17-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:41 PM</span>
