** Spells **
- Affliction Efficiency should now work on Damage over Time spells of level 61 and greater.

** By Winged Messenger **
A lone messenger streaks across the rocky roads of the mighty Wakening Lands, an urgent message kept safely within his talons. Dire news he brings to his master, the Lord Yelinak; there is much turmoil in wake of the prismatic's release, and he must inform the ancient dragon of the weary times to come. As he rushes past the lumbering trees on all sides of him, he harks back to a more peaceful time. Certainly the brow of his mighty Lord showed less strain, less agitation, though not much. He had always thought that the prismatic's release would surely be more problematic than anything else he could imagine. He now knew that there was much more at stake than ever before, and that the Shrine would need to be on its guard.
As he came to the entrance of the Shrine, he tensed for a moment, hoping that this dire news wouldn't end the life that he and his kin had known for so long. Yet he feared that nothing could stop that change, for the might of the Kin would be tested in the coming times, and there would surely be dangers he had yet to see. He made his way through the corridors up to his master's chambers. As he came closer, he noticed new members of the Kin he had never before seen. As large as his Lord, they spoke quietly amongst themselves and with Yelinak himself. He was unnerved by this startling addition to the Shrine, but felt that it was likely necessary. Perhaps his Lord had already heard the news and had already begun making plans. Either way, it was his duty to inform Yelinak of the recent events; the Giants would know no struggle like that which the Shrine would give them.
He walked towards Lord Yelinak, majestic in his appearance yet with a certain calming aura about him. He cleared his throat and began, "M'lord Yelinak, I bring news from the East..."

Damn, I was hoping they'd make Fungi NO DROP and teach EVERYBODY a lesson. ::Grins:: Oh well, I suppose that's too much to ask, hehe.

Re: Patch Message (Nov 19)
damn damn damn, they nerfed my pet... used to know a trick to keep it alive until a buff would wear off =P... was fun i think i was one of the first to figure it out... but it wasn't one of my buffs, so i couldn't use it often
Re: Patch Message (Nov 19)
The mortar that is summoned is no drop. But the item that summons it is not.
they also finally fixed the bug with rogues sneaking faster in 60+ levels. this is fine I guess, but while they were "fixing" sneak I wish they had fixed it so I didn't swim like I had a 0 Swimming while I was sneaking, even at level 60.

Pickpocket nerf
It wasn't mentioned, but it seems that all mob-dropped spells are now flagged Magic.
I couldn't care less about the Fungi. And while I'm very dissappointed in the spell changes, I can understand them. But come on! If you're going to nerf something that's been unchanged for 3.5 years, please put it in the patch message!
There are few enough things rogues can do to be nice to our caster friends. And there are few enough things that a rogue who can't solo can do when we don't have groups. I wish they wouldn't have made an accross-the-board change.
Oh well. There goes 25% of my reason for rushing to SoS, and 60% of my reason for not deleveling back to 62.

I'm certain I'm right when I say that the only people who think Fungi's should be no drop are the people who don't have one.

Re: Pickpocket nerf
Marcalo, drop it. Ok? It's over.
And you evidently never got the point of why good rogues were upset.
Re: Pickpocket nerf
I dunno about what edition you play Glip, but in 3rd edition D&D spell scrolls that you scribe into your book are very specifically magic items. They are in the magic items section of the DMG. And you can use them to scribe the spell into your spellbook, OR you can cast the spell from them directly, without requiring any components and consuming the scroll in the process. That doesn't sound much like simple instructions, but more like magic to me.
i think i was one of the first to figure it out... but it wasn't one of my buffs, so i couldn't use it often 
I sincerely hope you are mistaken, lest it be an invention for gnomish rogues only.
