It is Wednesday, the 23rd of August, and the following changes have been implemented:

- In the interest of fairness, "garters" may now also be referred to as "suspenders", "suspender" and "belt". Be aware that this item has different wear locations than the suspenders/braces pattern - your friends would love you to ask if you're not sure why.

- Added scaling to a NPC's experience worth for when their max HP is higher than the default HP for a NPC of their level.

- Increased the amount of experience that critical immune NPCs give (they already gave more, in simulations the value fell fall short of crittable NPCs). This excludes eld, who should give their old value.

- Increased the amount of experience that critical resistant NPCs give (i.e. NPCs that scale crits to 1x-6x).

- Note: These experience changes are experimental and we'll be keeping an eye on them.

- NPCs in the Vortex are no longer critical immune, but are instead critical resistant. The vortexcrits relic has updated to bypass crit resistance to do full critical damage.

- The number of berserk NPCs in the volcanic isle has been lowered.
