    This guide will go over some of the significant changes that have been made to the game, that returning players may not even know were changed or even added. I'm just trying to do a small, but important listing of these changes to help returning players get better acquainted with how the game currently is.

    It would be impossible for me to list ALL the changes made to the game, as that would take more time than I even have. But what I will at least do, is provide some that I feel that are changes that are very significant.

    Expired or Evicted Lots now go to the Property Manager
    Non-destructive evictions! When a player’s property is evicted by governors, stewards, tax defaults, or even lot activity expirations, the property will now be placed in the owner’s Property Manager (Magic Movers) window.
    ---------------------------------------------
    Release 96: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=130813

    Vendor Listings In Zone
    A new UI window called “Vendor Listings In Zone” has been added to the game. When players visit a scene, this window can be displayed by clicking the Window Selector at the top right of your screen, and select the option Vendor Listings in Zone option. You can also assigning a custom hotkey in Options/Controls then pressing the applicable hotkey. Now, players will no longer be required to go from player vendor to player vendor within a zone to see all the items available. This window provides each item’s name, posting date, weight, price, posting character’s name, as well as the player vendor’s name. Players can utilize a variety of sorting options, and a search filter is also available.
    ---------------------------------------------
    Release 94: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=130308

    Decks can now be moved up or down
    In the Deck Selection window, decks now have a number shown and can be moved up and down, by clicking on a deck, and then selecting the up or down arrow that is displayed on the deck.. That number can also be clicked to be changed manually.
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Release 100: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=131258

    Release 106: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=131907

    Massive rework of the Crafting System and Artifacts
    Many changes where made to the Crafting system to allow Player Crafted item to have special Imbued Gems and Imbued Jewels placed on them. These powerful gems and jewels now make Player Crafted items much more powerful.
    Artifacts were reduced to allow the Player Crafted item to now be the more powerful items in the game. Artifacts can still be useful for some circumstances.
    The new Imbued Gems can be obtained from Artifact. But can only be placed in Player Crafted items.
    These changes are very extensive so you will need to read all the changes an additions yourself here: Release 90: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=128907

    Player Run Towns can now use POT lot deeds to claim a lot in them

So ALWAYS make sure to resurrect at an ankh when you die to avoid this durability hit to your equipped gear.

    To better increase the connectedness of the world we have made it so that players now automatically join an Open Multiplayer instance when entering towns, overworld, and the Outskirts maps (Solace Bridge Outskirts, Highvale Outskirts, and Blood River Outskirts).

    All Accounts Receive One Quest Reset Per Character

    Each character on an account has one free Quest Reset that will allow them to completely reset the characters quest state. This will ONLY remove ALL quest items and quests from the character (note, the Shroud is a quest item).

    New durability standards have been applied to all newly created gear, whether it be an upgraded artifact or a purely crafted gear item.

    Gathering & Meticulous XP Rewards
    There has been a significant change to how meticulous results award experience while gathering. For each and every meticulous success within a single gathering attempt, you’ll now be awarded an XP amount equivalent to that node’s tiered reward. For instance, if you are mining a T5 Iron Node, which results in a Meticulous x3, the player will receive 7,500 XP.
    -----------------------------------------------
    Avatar’s Update #380: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=123161

    Watering plants uses less water and a new display if a bed needs water
    Planting and watering only consumes a bucket of water 10% of the time. By holding a new hotkey, Ctrl-W, players will see which planting beds require watering.
    -----------------------------------------------
    Release 89: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=128668

    This is at least a decent list to inform returning (and maybe even new people) of some of the significant changes that have been made to the game since they last played. SO many things have changed....

    If you feel something is missing from this list that is very significant, please do let me know (and tell me what release the change was made in) and I will consider it.

    Hope this is helpful!

    This is great. Thanks for all your work to get it out there. Also one perhaps is that teleport to zone scrolls is a teachable recipe and when placed on the non combat bar while not encumbered can open and show scene details if the control key is pressed while hovering over a scene name. It also has a filter so you can filter 'mines' for example and see all the mines you have to zone to. I always forget which mine has which ore so the scene info helps a lot. ;)

    Thank you very much for this @Anpu ! As a returning player after 3 years away, this list is indeed extremely useful.

    Another useful bit of info would be the introduction of Artifacts and how to repair them. I was puzzled why I couldn't use the usual repair kits to repair Artifacts.

    LUA and the various player-made mods are also cool additions that improve the Quality of Life in-world.

    Not sure exactly when the above were implemented, but they certainly weren't around during my time. ;)

    I was explaining last night about the reagent use change of bought vs grown reagents. That might be a good one to add. I was with some people that hadn’t been around a while.

    Excellent info and thank you for putting it together! I'm still holding out for a global vendor search but I don't see it on the list yet! And yes, I'm using https://shroudoftheavatar.net/sotaItemPriceList to find out what things HAVE sold for but it would sure be nice to have a way to see what things are currently being sold for on vendors. Save a ton of time running around and not finding an item I want to sell or buy.

    When you die, as long as you DO resurrect at an Ankh or if another player Resurrects you, your items will not receive any durability hit. Just ALWAYS make sure you resurrect at an Ankh or have a friend Resurrect you!
    Yes! You can now teleport to most all scenes you have visited before, by using Teleport to Zone Scrolls! Now you can quickly go to most all scenes right away.

    Glad this list was helpful to you!

    Awesome post @Anpu! This would have help me a lot when I started.

    The only thing I would add is not a game mechanic change as much as a player economy change. Simple materials like wood and ore are ridiculously over-priced which is driving most crafted goods out of the market because of the prices, even just trying to break even. Trying to sell anything crafted from purchased wood is like pulling teeth from a sea urchin. My advice to anyone coming back is to gather rather than buying from vendors. This will let you undercut everyone else. But also, don't make the mistake of over-discounting like I did, as there are times you will want to buy something and you need some extra gold to compensate for the inflation.

    When I left, it was possible to make furniture and sell at reasonable prices and people would buy it. It was a humble and honest living. Not so much anymore.

    This thread is only for significant changes to the game added by the developers, and to help people keep be informed on that (for new and returning players). As for the Player Economy (and the impacts of that) would need to be discussed in another different thread.

    In fact, I highly encourage you to make such a thread, like a Current Player Economy thread. You can do that at any time, and are free to do so. I would love to read such a thread. Let me know when you make it. I'll try to contribute to such a thread where I can as well (like giving API Data).

    Thanks! I really badly worded that. Updated to: Fruits, Vegetables and Reagents are now less expensive to buy from players than buying them from NPC's.
