    Code:
    Solar

    * fix AE spells hitting caster if standing too close, seems I broke this a while back
    * Implement reversed tap spells as recourse buffs. These are manly spells on items like Shissar Deathspeaker Staff and A Dark Reaver.

    Lifetap spells cause the caster's client to emote some messages like "Ahhh, I feel much better now...". Some of these messages are only sent for characters level 34 and below.
    Note that there is a weird edge case when lifetapping a rune, where other players will see the message "You groans and looks a little weaker." with the word "You" in place of the player's name - this is client behavior and reproduced intentionally.

    * Reverted the random spawnpoint Cache that could be causing issue with ghostings.

    Database:
    Elroz

    * Xicotl will now be on Mayong Mistmoore faction and no longer give negative Indigo Brotherhood hits, also added his missing agro emote
    * Treants will now assist animals in old world zones
    * Added missing npc "a wulfware lonewolf" to dreadlands - 8th necro skullcap quest will not be completable still, so long as hermit hands out wrong container
    * Added missing rare npc "scarlet cheetah huntress" to scarlet desert and fixed up the named cheetah spawn table to match alla comments
    * Added missing npc "Sunlord Wedazi" to scarlet desert
    * Added missing npc "a grimling foreman" to tenebrous, rarely drops Master's Eitchatka
    * Added missing npc "a greater water elemental" to twilight
    * Zahal the Vile in northkarana will be attacked by gypsies and the druid guildmaster, also a 2 hour respawn instead of 12 minutes.
    * Worked on permafrost spawn groups to fix up spawn diversity in goblins a bit.
    Robregen
    * Lower Guk: fixed the zone out behind the king throne so it should now zone out to Upper Guk entrance.
    * Akanon: the star fixtures located throughout the zone should now spins.

    Script:
    Elroz

    * Added missing lightstone quest to lake rathe gypsy, Srynda. Also added the missing dialogue to Oasis version.
    * Added some missing dialogue for Whistling Fists quest

    Any chance on fixing the necro skullcap quest? Would be fun and give necros something to do in PoP lol

    I checked with the other devs and they're ok with me fixing the 8th cap, the 9th cap would require getting a bunch of items that didn't exist in our DB so that's a different story - the 8th cap i already prepared in case we ever decided to enable it. It'll go in with next patch or next hotfix whichever comes first

    I think lifetaps are manly, too.

    If y'all could figure out a way to implement broken quests like the 9th cap, Sheild of the Dark, etc. that would be awesome! :D

    if the 9th cap items were in the database i'd totally be on board to fix it up and add it, same with the warrior pikes we're missing. I don't think the effect on the necro cap is even in the DB either though. They're all outside the takp database range though - and i dunno how other devs would feel on that

    Theoretical question: Do we have the technological capability to create a custom effect on an item / include an item that isn't in the database?

    "something" would be Oessin, not skull cap ;)
    but I'm guessing neither would have a statistically significant effect on logging in long-term.

    +1 for Ossein, it would be a really nice fix to add it in, considering all the other PoTime loot adjustments that have been made to make it a more enjoyable raiding experience

    Glad I searched the forum. Was about to try starting the skullcap quest for my new necro. 1-7 look fairly useless, 8 only minor use, and 9 being the whole point of doing any of it. Bummer.
