Fish Food and Musk Deer Fragrance can no longer be traded, while Wheat, Fish and Meat refills can still be traded.

Does this mean these items will be separated in our Star menus once again?

What about Gamekeeper Snack and Rare Fish Food (RPH)?

[SweaterPuppies]

I believe, Eriond, that all the meat/fish/wheat refills are now lumped into one so they do not differentiate how they are made. It is pretty much getting rid of items in trade that you no longer have. It would be like them removing the Ramadan Lantern from the Trade Office on this server.

Anywho I certainly hope you all fixed the bug that if you have a Venture in your star menu then go to the merchant the game freezes up. That one is nasty.

Right, that's how it currently works. However, if they are going to make one variety of the meat/fish refill non-tradable, while leaving the others tradable, it seems logical that they would have to separate that into two distinct items in the star, which is a most unfortunate backwards step. Unless I am just reading the whole thing wrong, which is entirely possible.

On another note, calling something a "Bookbinder Recipe" makes it sound like it's a recipe FOR the Bookbinder building. Which is not the case, I believe.

• Country Saying, Fish Food and Musk Deer Fragrance can no longer be traded, while Wheat, Fish and Meat refills can still be traded.

The different labels for various ways that refills are produced have been removed, and all have been combined into a single combined item for each type. Because of this, while it is possible to produce a 'Country Saying' in the mayor's house, it simple adds to the stack of wheat refills in the star menu. It is no longer possible to fulfill a request for it in the trade office; only requests for 'add content to a deposit: wheat' can be fulfilled. This is also true for the other types of deposits where there are different methods for their creation.

Sorting by name in the Star Menu works now as intended.

I thought it was already good.

•Landing spots have been relocated for Ali Baba and the Treasure of Wisdom, The Valiant Little Tailor, Outlaws, Secluded Experiments, The Dark Brotherhood, Witch of the Swamp and Tikki Island.

Why do you always skimp on the details?

•Special Gold Mines now count for quests which require a certain amount of Gold Mines

What about the endless copper mines for quest which says have 3 copper mines?

•Interception now works as intended for "The Sons of the Veld" adventure, but the walking path to the boss camp is different.

Again no details.. "What was the intention?" So many notes just say - now works as intended?

Not necessarily. Logically there is a difference between the refiller resource and those mentioned items. Those items are obsolete right now. This change was made some time ago. Now the produced item is converted directly into the resource, which can be used to refill a deposit. Those three items, which are obsolete, are still existing in the code and can be requested in the trade. Not a single player can recieve them anymore, because they get converted, so no-one can accept such a request. This was changed. You won't be able to request those items in the trade, but the resource itself (meat, fish and wheat) are still tradable.

They don't have to saparate them, because they have been serate things already. The approach was to shift to one thing and make the other obsolete.

Thanks for clarifying. I guess I thought this was how it was already working, thus my confusion at the wording (clearly, I've not had any reason to attempt to buy a Country Saying). More of a behind-the-scenes change, then, removing some bits of code that are no longer relevant.

I liked it better when the arrows/assassin/catapults were in the misc tab. Buffing someone else's or my island I really see need for them to be there, just kind of clutters things up.
