Here's some lesser news from the land of Newbatia.
There is a couturier off of granite street where the the spider silk robe and link mail of the sun can be obtained.
Quest 'potato' moved to pet merchant. Several additional quests added to pet merchant.
Quest 'eggs' moved to baker.
Town quester given an office north of post office. Added more quests.
Yes there are new drachma quests. No you can't go back to Newbatia to do them if you are 21+. Onward and upward. Forward ho. Also increased coin and xp rewards for quests.
The constable doesn't steal anymore, but he will solicit bribes. Bribing him will make him look the other way when you beat up on the citizenry. Also he'll lend you a hand and trip thugs with his baton as you fight them. However if you don't pay, he'll assist townies. It's level-checked / newbie proofed.
The young punks will steal from you, depending on your level and how much cash you're carrying on you.
Older gang member will summon evil thugs and punks to his aid, but they walk in rather than teleport.
There are fewer gang members roving town, fewer critters and old men as well. A few new mobs.
I hope this helps those of you who enjoy helping new players. I'll try to keep you updated.
Peace.
