Shopping

• You can now ctrl-click on an item in a shop to purchase the item in bulk. A pop-up dialog will prompt you to enter the number of items to purchase. Note: This dialog is only used when purchasing items. There is still no way to control the number of items you sell from a stack.
• When items in a shop are alphabetized, they are sorted first by base name (e.g. sword, dagger) and then by prefix (e.g. masterwork, vorpal).
• When you add items to the shopping cart, the cumulative cost of the items in the cart will affect the "can afford" status of the items available for purchase / repair.
• If a player's haggle skill changes, then the shopping cart display price will now update to reflect the change.
• Blessed Cold Iron Khopeshes, Blessed Cold Iron Mauls and Blessed Cold Iron Heavy Picks will now always be sold at the Divine Reagent vendor in Feather Fall's Apothecary in House Jorasco.
• NEW - The examination display now displays the "adjusted base value" which takes charges and permanent damage into account. This is the value that the vendors used to figure out how much they would purchase items for, so your items are not losing value, just displaying the item's value more accurately.Vendors now use the adjusted price to determine if they would purchase the item or not. So if you had a sword that was too pricy for a given vendor to buy, then once it is well used, it may drop to a value at which the vendor is now able to purchase it from you.

Spells

• Spell tooltips now include blocks that describe whether or not a spell can be resisted, and what the specific material component is for a given spell (if any).
• Spell tooltips now include a metamagic information block. This block lists the kinds of metamagic that can affect this spell.
• Monsters
• Monsters now should stop throwing stuff and attacking while they are held or otherwise helpless.
• Minotaurs may occasionally use thrown weapons if charging headlong at an opponent doesn't seem to be working.
• Combat
• Offensive spells with "touch" range now possess significantly more lenient heading checks. These include Chill Touch, Ghoul Touch, Inflict (various) Wounds, Otto's (ir)Resistable Dance, Slay Living, and Touch of Idiocy.
• The Crushing Despair FX are now persistent.
• Now if you are a divine caster and are using wands or scrolls of divine types and you happen to be under the effect of Quell's Intercession, you will have to perform a UMD check just like every non divine caster type.
• Focusing Chant now displays a proper icon when cast.
• The metamagic system in Dungeons and Dragons Online has undergone significant changes in Module 5.0: Accursed Ascension.
  • The biggest change that casters will discover is that each metamagic feat other than Heighten Spell now has a fixed spell point cost increase rather than multiplying the spell point cost of a spell as they did before Module 5.0. These surcharges are as follows:
    • Empower Spell: +15 SP

      Empower Healing Spell: +10 SP

      Enlarge Spell: +10 SP

      Eschew Materials: +2 SP

      Extend Spell: +10 SP

      Maximize Spell: +25 SP

      Quicken Spell: +10 SP

      Heighten Spell: Special (Changes base cost of your spell to that of your highest level spells)

      These cost increases are cumulative if multiple metamagic feats are active simultaneously, so a Quickened, Maximized, Enlarged Fireball would cost:

      20 (base) + 10 (Quicken) + 25 (Maximize) + 10 (Enlarge) = 65 Spell Points

      Improved Metamagic enhancements have all been changed to flat cost reductions on these surcharges. Sorcerer Improved Maximizing III, for instance, has become "Using the Maximize Spell feat costs you 9 fewer spell points." Wizard Improved Heightening II is now "Using the Heighten Spell feat costs you 2 fewer spell points per level of heightening."

• Targetting issues with wall of fire have been fixed.
• NEW - Magic missiles now do a better job of tracking moving targets.
• NEW - Despite the protests of the Silver Flame clergy that have grown rich from curing adventurers suffering from curses, Bestow Curse effects are now removed on death.
