It's time to get in the script for our December wipe! Thank you to everyone for a wonderful November wipe. Sorry for the excessive lag. Hopefully some of the changes coming will help address some of that. <3

Design contest! Christmas theme. Details here - > https://relicpve.com/forums/topic/holiday-design-contest-2024

New Stuff/Zones/Etc.:

• - We now have virtual refiners and furnaces! Type /furnace (shorthand: /fr) or /refiner (shorthand: /rf) or click the furnace panel button by your hotbar. You will need to have a furnace or refiner and scrap in your inventory to place them. (this has been placed on the backburner. Sorry folks. My fault for rushing this out. Lots of polishing required.)
• - New event with a boss fight (Baron). Villains have stolen loot from a Cobalt research lab. Baron and his crew are making a run for it... in hot air balloons! Of all things! Turn in Baron's future plans to Ramsey at Outpost.
• - Radtown now is now occupied by radioactive zombies. You will be subjected to 15 rads per second when in the area.
• - Oblivion is a modified minigun with very high damage and 5,000 rounds. This is a rare weapon drop (from raids and Darkzone NPCs). It can only be found (not purchased). 
• - Cryo is a new boss fight at Arctic Research Base. He will drop blue dog tags which can be turned in to Ramsey located in the Gunsmith building.

Changes to /raid (raidme):

• - Turrets now work against raiders (all difficulties).
• - Hard mode has been added to keep things spicy (6 waves with 16 NPCs per wave). We reduced dmg from explosives and ranged attack on our easy and medium difficulties.

QoL/General Changes:

• - Every Friday at 6AM, quest cooldowns (including scrap/XP turn in) will be reset. Quest and XP return cooldowns are unchanged. This is just a bonus. 
• - Tool cupboards will now be limited to 10 for players under 200 hours on Relic. We have noticed some new players take large pieces of land without building on it. The vibe and rules are pretty much known after playing Relic for 200 hours. After 200 hours there is no limit on TCs. We just ask that you have intention to build on claimed land (completely acceptable to TC around your build to give yourself space).
• - We have placed a couple limits on certain entities (large planters = 50, conveyors = 75). This is to help reduce the load on Mike the Hamster and to reduce lag surrounding huge farms.  
• - We have a monument/puzzle claim now (only for card puzzles). After swiping a card, a prompt will be sent to chat saying "x was claimed". This is only a formal announcement (it doesn't lock to you, yet). 
• - Body bags had the despawn timer increased from 8 hours to 24 hours. You will have 24 hours to retrieve your loot if you die.
• - A few new items have been added to /plant - toilets can now be purchased with scrap (and more see screen shot).
• - The XP reward for most boss fights has been bumped/increased.
• -  Elite members had the XP for being online boosted from 15 to 25.

MVP this month goes to: Happy Festivus, Rusty Turtle, Toxic
