:The other way to counter Evasion is with Stuns. A stunned monster loses all Evasion for 5 seconds. Note that even if a stun is reduced due to diminishing returns, the Evasion-disabling part still lasts 5 seconds. So constantly stunning a monster will render it unable to evade. And perhaps more pragmatically, you can always lead with a stun before using your heavy-hitter ability to bypass Evasion. (And as usual, this change works on players too -- if you're stunned, you lose any Evasion buffs from armor.)
:The following monster types are the only ones with any Evasion. (Note that their other stats or abilities were lowered, so some of these monsters are probably more dangerous than before, but not INSANELY so.)
::- [[Basilisk Controller|Basilisk]]s::- [[Fairy Healer]]s Healers (e.g. Autumn Healer, Fairy Heal Slave, etc.)::- [[Ranalan Ranalon Warrior]]s (which needed reworking anyway)
::- Ghosts
::- Deinonychuses. Deinonychi? The little jumpy dinosaurs
:- [[Geology]] maps are worth a bit more money.
:- XP tables are changed.
:- Some surveying recipes that used to be possible are no longer possible. Most prominently, you cannot mine for ore in [[Serbule]] anymore. (But you can mine in [[Serbule Hills|[South Serbule]] instead!)
:- You can mine for [[Amazing Metal Slab]]s in [[Eltibule]]. (See the new NPC in South Serbule to obtain this recipe and all the others for Serbule, South Serbule, and Eltibule.)
:- Doing multiple mining recipes back-to-back quickly will earn you "bonus ore", similar to how you can get bonus gems from geology maps. However, the bonus ore doesn't usually just give you more Metal Slabs -- it gives you new kinds of ore with various crafting uses. Most of these new ores can't be obtained any other way (right now, at least). Different areas have different bonus ore possibilities; for instance in South Serbule you can find things like [[Pyrite]] and Gold Nuggets, but in higher level areas you can find things like Cinnabar and Rhodium.
