This update includes the ability to craft leather armour, updates to the Wastelands, and more.

=== Leather Armour ===

Leather can now be obtained from cows and bulls, and Dragonleather can be obtained from killing Dragons. You can then use these raw leather items to craft leather armour, which also provide a much-needed Range boost. You will find various Crafting Tables scattered throughout the world that contain the tools to allow you to craft them.

=== Wastelands Update ===

The Wastelands have been updated a bit. More NPCs have been added, to provide more combat training opportunities. Because the Wastelands is obviously a more dangerous place due to PVP combat, NPCs killed in the Wastelands now have a 20% higher chance of dropping rare loot or Treasure Maps (excluding Damogui). In addition, you are no longer able to teleport out of the Wastelands if you are more than 20 levels deep (except Blood Teleport, which will still work anywhere).

=== New Areas to Explore ===

A few new areas have been discovered that you can now explore:

* You can now hike up the mountain in the Eastern part of the Wastelands. There is even a newly discovered shop up there, but shop at your own risk
* There is a new area west of the Wastelands Maze
* Part of the area around the Ruins of Hagskeep is now accessible
* A cold updraft is flowing up from the ladder in the Cairn Bank
* There is a newly discovered rocky outcrop on an island at the southeast corner of the Wastelands

=== Other Changes ===

* Boots have been added
* Increased chances of getting some of the more rarer items from Treasure Maps
* A few new items are available to obtain from Treasure Maps, with some unique to each tier
* The login screen animation has been re-enabled
* More NPCs have been added to various locations throughout the world
* More resource entities (trees, ore rocks, etc.) have been added throughout the world
* Increased background opacity for certain pop-up menus when using the Light Theme with transparency enabled and menu blur disabled
* Pressing the Escape key on your keyboard will now close any open menu

=== Bug Fixes ===

* Fixed bug where your character sometimes stops walking after clicking away from the bank menu
* Fixed bug where certain creatures's sprites would be horizontally flipped when using 2D sprite mode
* Fixed bug in firefox where typing the ' character would open the quick find menu
* Fixed bug where players could not click the 'Withdraw as IOU' checkbox when using one mouse button mode
* Fixed bug where damage markers and healthbars would appear over the minimap
