We have recently looked through the healing and the hunting quests
across the four collegiums, standardizing them in terms of difficulty.
You will find the following changes:


For Celest and Serenwilde

- The types of afflictions the paladins and the fae may have have been
reduced, thereby reducing the types of herbs novices need to obtain to
complete the quest.
- More specific hints are now given by Melar and Caladwen to encourage
novices to obtain healing supplies before starting the quest, especially
for those with HINTSON.

For Glomdoring and Magnagora

- The shadowmaze creatures and darklings have been equalized in terms of
health and attack speed. In particular, Magnagorans will find that
darklings will be easier to kill than was in the past.
- Shadowmaze creatures and darklings now give some new afflictions that
may require the use of herbs to cure. Shadowmaze creatures now give
hints for those with HINTSON when they attack with an affliction.
- More specific hints are now given by the Echo of Malhalla and Burhan
to encourage novices to obtain healing supplies before starting the
quest, especially for those with HINTSON.

For all collegiums:

- A reward of 1000g has been added for the first time completion of the
healing and the hunting quests.


These are the first of the changes that we are implementing for the
collegiums to make them more standardized and doable by novices. More
changes will come in the not too distant future, including the
standardization of the 1000g reward for first time completion of all
collegium quests.

The changes we will be implementing have been gleaned from advice of
players as well as our own observations, but if there are any pressing
thoughts concerning an imbalance of collegiums or their difficulty that
needs to be corrected, please contact the Camenae soon by message or
email (camenae@lusternia.com).

As always, if you encounter bugs from these changes, please let us know
with the BUG command.
