::- The "foul air" debuff found in some dungeons now increases ability cost by +3 instead of +4, and it cannot stack with itself (which was only possible in weird situations anyway).
===<b>Boss-Monster Loot Profile Changes</b>===
:Boss monsters (and many named elite monsters) now have one set of loot when you kill them the first time and a different set of loot if you kill them again within 3 hours. (This is very similar to how [[Asterion]] already worked, but with different code internally.) The first loot profile is generally beefed up from before, while the second one is reduced from before. The point of this change is to make bosses more rewarding without having to "camp" them :-- and to discourage camping in general because it causes flow bottlenecks and unnecessary group contention.
In the descriptions below, assume "first kill" always means "first kill in three hours" -- all of these reset after 3 hours. ::- Ciervos now drops a large batch of level 40 gear, but only once per player per three hours. Repeat killing within three hours will only get you junk items.::- Crazy Terry now drops several pieces of level 50 gear the first time, but never more than one piece of gear the second time.::- Algapa the goblin boss drops his signature sword, his calling card, and 3 other items on the first kill; 2 items on repeat kills.::- Graz the bear drops his signature shackles and 2 jewelry on first kill; junk on repeat kills.::- Gruzark the goblin drops his poetry on first kill only. The rest of his loot profile remains unchanged.::- Haridius the Exemplary drops his Gulagra Orb on first kill along with several pieces of treasure; repeat kills drop no more than 1 equipment piece.::- Old Crusty drops his shield on first kill along with 1-2 pieces of equipment; repeat kills drop only misc items.::- Orloaka drops his staff and 1 other useful item on first kill; second kill is misc items.::- Scion of Discord drops his orb and 4 other items on first kill; second kill has no more than 1 equipment item.::- Lord Sedgewick drops his sword and 4 other items on first kill; second kill has no more than 1 equipment item.::- The Fog drops a new unique item and 1 or 2 pieces of jewelry on first kill; second kill has junk.::- Xegatis drops his beaker and several other items on first kill; second kill has junk.::- Algid Overseer drops his note and 3 items on first kill; second kill is unchanged (2 items, 50/50 equipment).::- Bonfire Puck drops his staff and extra items on first kill; second kill is 1 item.:See :- Dementia Puck drops his key and 3 items on first kill; second kill is 1 item.::- Gorgos drops 3 items and an ogre stomach on first kill; second kill is 1 item.::- Gravamux drops his key and 2-3 items on first kill; second kill is 1 item.
