== '''New Solo Boss''' ==

''Friday, July 18, 2025''

There is now a new boss that can be fought, but you're going to have to fight him on your own!

=== New Boss ===
There is a new boss somewhere in HighSpell, but it's up to you to find him. It may have something to do with the swarm of Goblin Jockeys that have shown up around the world.

=== Other Updates ===
* A new cave along the river west of Gnome Hill has been discovered
* A new area deep within the cave to the west of Stone Henge has also been discovered
* Turtles now only heal 15 hitpoints, and now leave behind their empty shell when eaten
* You can now right-click on a user's name in the chat menu to expand chat options for that user
* You can now click on the pink trade request text to accept the trade request and initiate the trade
* Level 43 Giant's respawn timer has been reduced by half
* The formula to determine how range damage is calculated has been modified, and now each tier of arrow has a maximum damage ceiling
* Players now must have a total level of at least 100 to send and receive global chat messages
* The blocked-users list capacity has been increased from 50 to 100
* Support for player moderators has been added. A badge will appear next to their name in chat, and they have the ability to mute players

=== Bug Fixes ===
* Fixed buggy conversation with the Gambler in celadon
* Fixed bug preventing the Craft All option from working in the crafting table menu
* Fixed bug where you were unable to view the spell information when hovering over the spell icon in the magic menu
* Leather chaps are now correctly shown as requiring level 15 crafting in the crafting guide
* Fixed bug that prevented players from harvesting items while wearing leather gloves
* Fixed bug where sometimes the trade confirmation screen incorrectly shows x28 of an offered item
* Fixed bug when another menu (trade, bank, etc.) appears while a confirmation or text input menu is already visible, preventing the user from interacting with the UI
* Fixed bug where if a user's blocked list was full, they were unable to remove users from the list
