Weapon skills proc twice as often, Snow reaches further

A short restart this morning with the usual five-minute countdown.

Passive weapon skills fire twice as often

Every auto-proc weapon skill -- Phoenix, Rage, Seizer, Boom, Earthquake, Snow, WideStrike, SpeedGun, Halt, StrandedMonster, Boreas, Roamer, Penetration, Celestial, Poison and FreezingArrow -- now goes off twice as often as before, capped at one swing in two. FreezingArrow stays the rarest because its stun is the strongest effect.

Snow reaches three times as far

The wand's Snow now covers six cells around the target instead of two.

Their levels climb with yours

These skills used to max out at a low character level because nothing gated them. From now on each level of a passive weapon skill needs a character level: level 1 at 15, level 2 at 25 ... the top level at 95. Training past a threshold is banked and lands the moment you reach it -- and a skill you already maxed keeps its level.

• The companion pet, still in testing, is now immortal for real and opens a menu when its owner clicks it.
• Staff can turn an NPC to face the right way on the spot, so misaligned NPCs will get straightened out over the coming days.
