Editing Release 113 (section)

===New Pets: Reef Spiders===
[[Image:SS_Reef_Spiders_overlay.png|800px]]

Four reef spiders on a Vikland beach: the smallest aqua, a larger red, a larger orange, and the largest purple

Prepared visitors to the beaches of Vikland can now abscond with the wildlife: the local reef spiders have become used to human presence enough that they can now be tamed. Like their wild counterparts, tamed reef spiders are (currently) visual variants of red spiders and have no unique skills of their own.

==Release 113 Patch Notes==
Below are a list of the updates that are live as of Release 113 in the game of Shroud of the Avatar! R113 is a content month. Polish, additional improvements, and bug fixes are inbound for R114 next month. We hope you enjoy the changes that are live today as of Release 113!

===Crafting, Decoration, Gear, & Inventory Item Changes:===
*Renamed exotic fish and accessories to have (Fish Tank) at the ends of their names so it’s easier to search in inventory and containers.
*Removed erroneous dye slots from Gothic Chair. SOTA-71261
*Adjusted upgrade recipe names for Supple Gloves of Riding. SOTA-71277
*Fixed naming discrepancy with One-Man Band hat/shirt recipes. SOTA-71278
*When placing a decoration pet, the name will be facing correctly in the deco preview.
*Pets and conversationalists set to “Stay here” and “Patrol” will stick to what they were last set to when placing it again from inventory. Pets and conversationalists will stop going back to their last location when placed from inventory.
*Time will now reset correctly when kobold time machine decorations are picked up or the player changes scenes. Improved performance in POTs due to the time machines’ script which was creating a lag spike every 15 seconds. SOTA-69779
*Fixed LOD warnings when placing a kobold time machine.
*Small Campfires will now clear weeds underneath them when placed. SOTA-71325
*Fixed broken UI when dragging LB Chest onto a female paperdoll. Fixed additional chest pieces: Virtue Flame, Copper Clockwork, and Ancient *Xenossian Plate. SOTA-67446
*Corrected equipment channel for females on Egg Hunt 2023 Cloak. SOTA-71258
*Fixed NPC/pet placement and deco surfaces of front stoops for the pledge stone row homes. SOTA-71025, SOTA-58996

===Combat & Skill Changes:===
*Reduced song duration buff from Wyvern Egg Salad. SOTA-70752
*The previous removal of the PVP 25% experience bonus in player dungeons missed some dungeons. The rest have now been updated. Reminder: this was removed because players could just lock the dungeon entrances and get extra xp at no risk.
*Skills from taming tree, healing and frenzy, were previously usable from the utility bar while in combat, which is inconsistent with other skills. They have been made not usable while in combat. The only skills that should be used in combat mode from the utility bar are summons, resurrects, and night vision and light spells.

===User Interface, Store Information, Inky, & Lua Changes:===
*Added spider essence to purchase orders. SOTA-71246
*Added a new function for conversationalist scripts: “listEmotes” will list all the emotes available for that NPC. Conversationalists’ scripted emotes will now work for all humanoids (trolls and dragons don’t count.) Fixed a problem with variables from conversationalists displaying letters and numbers along with the correct names.
*Inky NPC function to load variable now works correctly with number of type int. Previously variables were saved by account, now it’s by character. SOTA-71231
*Changed the message when items are sent back to users from a lot, basement, or dungeon to mention to look in the decoration palette for any missing items.
*Fixed the nameplates of NPCs being missing once back from editing character appearance in New You salons when conversation close-ups are enabled. SOTA-71291
*Fixed a typo in the store description for Brown Bunny Ears and Slippers. SOTA-71307
