Rarer drops, stones only under Lucky Time, and votes that pay themselves

A hotfix went in at 17:35 with a five-minute countdown. It carried everything that was announced for 22:00, so there is no 22:00 restart -- ignore the earlier reminders.

The rare stream, retuned

Drops had grown too generous, so the whole rare stream was cut back, with Bird Island as the yardstick (every other map follows in proportion to its monsters' level, as always):

• Meteor: about one in 600 kills on Bird Island.
• DragonBall: about one in 18,000 kills on Bird Island.
• +1, +2, +3 and +4 PlusStones fall ONLY while your Lucky Time is running. Without a blessing no monster carries one, on any map. Blessed, on Bird Island: a +1 about once in 2,000 kills, a +2 in 6,000, a +3 in 20,000, a +4 in 62,500.
• Lucky Time itself is now an extra, not a booster: it adds a twentieth to the Meteor and DragonBall rate. What it buys you is the stones above.
• Elite and Super gear drop ten times more rarely than before (Unique and Refined are unchanged).
• Socketed drops come from weapons only (from the 19:00 hotfix): armour, helmets, necklaces, rings, boots and shields no longer fall with a socket, and a socketed weapon is ten times rarer than before. The drop-rate guide is regenerated from the live numbers, map by map.

Fixes

• Training Grounds: casting Cure on a stake no longer turns it into a player in warrior armour.
• Weapon proficiency exp is saved between levels -- it used to be lost on a server restart.
• Divine Hare keeps its form through an NPC teleport; only logging out ends it early.
• A player you may not attack (Peace mode, a teammate) no longer "dodges" your Scatter or Dash -- they are simply not in the effect at all.
• MoonBox quest (19:22 restart): the maze had no way back to the city -- Maggie's "I am leaving" only closed the window and a Ghost would not help without its token. Now Maggie, every tactic's Ghost and the Lonely Ghost can send you home at any time; the tokens you hold are kept. Sorry for the trouble. Guide

Voting pays itself

• XtremeTop100 now confirms your vote to us, so the reward lands on your character within a minute -- no Collect button. Start from the Vote page so your vote carries its ticket.
• The Vote page no longer makes you wait on a timer of ours: the list itself decides whether a vote counted. Up to two rewarded votes a day per list; more still helps our rank.
