The following updates will be applied tonight:

GATHERING
There is now a chance a mined vein (excluding Greater veins) or gathered plant will respawn instantly.

The amount of Iron/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Orichalcum Ore that can be obtained from mining a vein has been increased to a maximum of 5 (was up to 3 with a low chance), and the chance of obtaining a higher amount has been increased.

Up to 3 Crystal/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Amethyst Ore can now be obtained from mining veins (was up to 2).

Upto 30 Iron/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Orichalcum Ore can now be obtained from mining Greater veins (was up to 20).

Upto 3 Desert Orchid/Pin Wheel Daisy/Glowing Fern/Purple Snapper/Water Orchid/Glowing Shroom/Forest Fern/Woodland Mushroom can now be obtained from gathering (was up to 2).


CLASS SKILLS
Offensive skills that do no damage but instead apply a debuff of some sort are no longer effected by, or activate, the Global Cooldown (GCD). There are some exclusions including Provoke type skill of the tanking classes.

Also some skills that apply brief immunity buffs were still on the GCD when they should not have been (Intensive Activity for example).

Also in a few cases, some very short duration buffs have been excluded from the GCD, but most buff type skills remain on the GCD unless they have a very short duration - for example a 5s Hit buff or Attack buff where every second counts.

PETS
Corrected the efficiency of pet skills Bite, Arcane Breath, Corrosive Acid, Whack, Heal Blessing, and Magic Blessing so lower ranks of the debuffs will not overwrite higher ranks.


MECHANICS
Treasure Bandits
Treasure Bandits will now spawn more frequently for players when they are playing in maps suitable for their level and defeating monsters of their level or higher. They will no longer spawn for players farming monsters of a lower level.

The amount of hits required to defeat lower level bandits has been reduced, and is now equal to their level. So, a level 20 bandit will be defeated after 20 hits, a level 85, 85 hits.

Bandits will now spawn on the higher level maps Sandstorm Desert, Tainted Fen, Grand Wildwoods, and Port Plunder.

Anti-Botting Feature
Reintroduced the anti-botting Do Not Attack monsters. Attacking one of these 5 times* will disconnect you from the game and also prevent you from logging back in for a period of time. This feature is intended to prevent using illegal external software to take control of game play.

*Excluding skills that do damage to multiple targets - so you cannot accidentally attack them with AoE skills unless you actually have the Do Not Attack monster targeted.

Colosseum Deserter
The Colosseum Deserter debuff has been corrected. It was set as a buff in error. It can no longer be removed by right-clicking it's icon.
