Carriage and airship smoothing rolled back
Follow-up to the earlier travel note. We rolled back the carriage and airship movement smoothing. It made them roll nicely, but on longer routes it could desync the vehicle and drop a rider off it. Carriages and airs...

Crafting unlocked, trade freed up, and a long list of quest fixes
A big maintenance sweep landed. Crafting and gathering are open from the early levels, Gilda gear is no longer gold-locked out of reach, the realm stays at peace, and a large stack of stalled quests and missing NPCs i...

Family reliability and dockside cannons
The Family system got a thorough pass. Forming, managing, and leaving a family is now solid: the old edge cases that could jam a family or lock a character out of the world are closed, the Family Certificate is proper...

Ship repair cooldown now matches the tooltip — and the error message reads like English

Time-Turning Sand actually restores destroyed ships now

Guild membership "lost on restart" wasn't a guild bug — it was a half-dead server
Ashley reported "the guild system isn't remembering who is in the guild over restarts." Spent an hour mapping the expedition load/save path, the web admin endpoints, the in-memory cache, the autosave — ...

Quest reward selection — visibility patch + override layer for missing reward slots
Follow-up to the v1.0.12 selective-reward index fix. Audit revealed two distinct failure modes for "I picked option N and got nothing": 1. Content gaps — the server's canonical SQLite is missing rows fo...

Honor vendors removed — Honor Point Collector and PvP-cluster merchants despawned
The dedicated PvP economy on Rookery Isles never really fit the realm. We don't run faction wars; the realm operates as one cross-faction Alliance (see v1.0.12); the PvP-daily quest-givers Ashley wanted gone turn...

Merchant inventories and NPC stats are now editable in the database
Yesterday's v1.0.15 patch made loot-pack contents editable in MariaDB. This patch extends the same override pattern to two more surfaces Ashley already had tables for but no C# loader behind: vendor inventories a...

Chest contents are now editable in the database — Day 1 Supply Chest works

Broken containers now tell you they're broken (instead of failing silently)
If you open a container item — Day 1 Supply Chest, Farmer's Coinpurse, Waterlogged Lockbox, any of the dozens of bag/chest items — and nothing happens, you now get a yellow message explaining why instead of silen...

Logout saves EVERYTHING + autosave every minute (was every 5 min)
Two coupled changes that close the data-loss windows around saves. Logout / disconnect now does a full state save instead of just a partial one. Your inventory, mail, houses, auction listings, mounts, guild state — al...

Guards unified under "Rookery Isles Alliance", K-pop placeholder NPCs removed
Two small polish passes on top of yesterday's guards-as-decoration change. Walk past a guard in Marianople, Two Crowns, or Mahadevi and the label above them used to read [Nuia Alliance], [Haranya Alliance], or [...

Guards are back as decoration, Monolith Guardians spawn again, 509 wild mobs un-disabled
Two fixes from the same underlying problem: the earlier "remove all guards and sentries" cleanup swept too broadly and caught a lot of content that shouldn't have gone with it. This patch un-disables th...

NPC Z handling — third time's the charm (this one's data-driven)
Third NPC physics patch in two days. The previous two tried to be clever with heightmap snapping and broke as much as they fixed. This one comes from logging the actual NPC spawn data and looking at what's really...

Indoor NPCs no longer sink through the floor (correcting v1.0.5)
Yesterday's NPC-gravity fix had a bad trade-off baked in. The outdoor bears stopped floating, but every indoor NPC sank into the floor — Kyrios Cultists in Marianople mansions were visible only as name tags hover...

WebApi locked down, item stacks fill the right slot first, realm guild-lock formalized
