Hello everyone! The Game Designer Team has prepared another mid-update patch for you all! Please keep in mind anything in the "Upcoming Content" section is subject to change and not set in stone, nor do we have a release date guaranteed for any of it.

New Content

• We added new quick travel NPCs around two locations in the world to help ease confusion in lower levels. Similar to the Prefects at Hogsworth, there are now Sr. Prefects in Hogsend and Street Auralocks in London with teleport access to common areas in within each location.
• Added an Efficiency 5 Unbreaking 3 Pickaxe to the Mine Depot
• Added an Efficiency 5 Silk Touch Pickaxe to the Mine Depot
• Added a Rememberball Tier 2 reward to Reputation. This can be used to view the Help Wanted portion of the Taskboard for the towns anywhere on the map
• Add mob locations to the compass
• Add reputation to the scoreboard for the town you are in
• Added consistency messages to DADA tasks so that when you have killed X amount of the mob, it sends a message telling you to go back to the NPC

Changed Content

• Updated the lost NPC's for the Divination reputation tasks to have no nameplate when you aren't on the task to decrease confusion.

Upcoming Content (subject to change)

• We have decided to remove the variability from Reputation rewards. This is not released yet, as it is a change that requires us also to update everyone's current stat balances to a value as if they had been earning a consistent amount from the beginning, but it will be released sometime in the coming weeks.
• We will be releasing the Rising Healer...

London
Portstead
Edgebrook

Gameplay
In each town, you will find 6 residents that need your help, each requiring different skill. The 6 skills include Cooking, DADA, Divination, Herbology, Potions, and Transfiguration. Cooking tasks require you to collect ingredients and cook something delicious. DADA tasks require you to face a creature lurking somewhere in the world. Divination tasks require you to seek out a missing person that is nowhere to be found. Herbology tasks require you to venture out into the wilderness to pick various plants. Potions tasks require you to collect ingredients and brew up something useful. Transfiguration tasks require you to make something new and magical with your bare hands.

Rewards
Each task awards between 10 and 15 reputation for that town. It is much more likely to get a low number than a high number. Your reputation can be viewed at the "Bulletin Board" for that town, which is generally located at the center of the town.
The Bulletin Board is also where the town residents have posted their help notices. Here, you can view all the tasks available in that town, as well as their starting location and required...

Hey everyone!

The Build team is excited to announce new minigame maps for you all to play on, along with a new schedule for minigame maps releases and cycling.

Every three months, minigame maps will rotate around - you may expect maps to rotate during July, October, January, and April, for almost all minigames! This means that some maps will be disabled for certain time periods to allow others to shine. Additionally, special-themed maps, such as event maps, will be accessible for the duration of the respective events and not be part of the rotations.

We hope that this new schedule will help minigames thrive even more, and will help them remain interesting and fresh to play through!
