⚔️ Duel Betting System

A brand-new way to put your gold where your mouth is — literally.

Head-to-Head Betting – Duel participants can now wager directly against one another.

Virtual Currency Integration – All wagers are managed through player bank accounts (no physical gold needed).

Secure Escrow System – Bets are safely held until the duel concludes.

Rake System – A small cut is taken from winnings to fund events and server upkeep, similar to poker tournaments.

Draw Fee System – Handles stalemates and mutual forfeits with fairness.

Disconnect Grace Period – Prevents abuse or loss due to short connection drops.

Anti-Cheat Protections – Continuous integrity checks ensure clean, fair competition.

☠️ Kill Tracking System

Laid the foundation for a new event and boss integration system.

Tracks eligible kills and performance for future events.

Backend integration ready for Hybrid Fair Boss and upcoming seasonal systems.

🐉 Hybrid Fair Wyrm

The Hybrid Fair Wyrm has emerged — a true world boss-level encounter powered by our advanced BossAI.

💀 Event Armor Drops

Five-piece Hybrid Fair Bone Armor Set (Hue 2753):

  • Hybrid Fair Bone Helm
  • Hybrid Fair Bone Chest
  • Hybrid Fair Bone Arms
  • Hybrid Fair Bone Gloves
  • Hybrid Fair Bone Legs

Each piece drops randomly to one eligible player upon boss defeat — pure luck and persistence will win the day.

🩸 Skill & Spell Updates

Veterinary Range – Increased to 2 tiles, making pet care in combat less punishing.

Raise Undead Gem (Level 15) – Now dynamically scales based on the difficulty of the targeted creature. Stronger corpses, stronger summons.

📧 System Updates

Fixed periodic bugs in the in-game email system that caused occasional delivery failures.
