Xyphos' tool threw errors extracting, so there might be stuff missing.

What, the Aimbat? That was given out in the last birthday celebration - Aimbat and Wall Hecks (we are witty ho ho ho).

Far as the OFAB prof tags go... we talked about this one and decided for having them the tags because those armours are so heavily tied to professions as it is. You look at someone wearing the Advy set and you know that it's an Advy. In a PvP scenario, where someone's wearing a set in their social tab, we didn't want to lose that instant visual recognizability that the armour would normally infer.

Seriosuly? How about pre-social tab, where EVERYONE LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME?

what a joke.

I still laugh my keister into oblivion from that quote, Advy ofab is in the running for worst ofab ever and hardly any advy I know wears any more than 1 piece.

I wonder when the anniversary stuffs will make it in.

REMOVE all buff cans.This game doesnt need them.This game need more players then u will not need buff cans.Bring those in game and u will kill the multi-player part of this game or at least what is left of it.
FC dont be so subborn and make some advertise to this game and maybe more players will come and then u wont need buff cans.

I just updated my testlive rips and saw that nano crystals have new icons. Not sure if I like them but I like that you can tell them apart.

[nanoforcer]

I just spotted this, quite funny that they missed to update the desc on this nano, it now does more damage

"Augments the caster's pet so that it inflicts an additional 201 points of damage with each hit."

from Improved Instill With Malign Intent
It's not too late to change it before it hits live, let's see if the bother to do that
It now does 402

I'm responsible for this typo, and I'll clean it up. Thanks for reporting it!

Testserver patch - 18.5.0.3 to 18.5.0.7:
(The XRDB crashed going from 18.5.0.3 to 18.5.0.7, but not the other way around, so there might be stuff missing)

patch : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5329566/AO/18.5.0.7.zip

Just some highlights I noticed:

• Yakomo's Combined Scout's Headwear & Blackmane's Combined Officer's Headwear both got the missing +15 Proj dmg stat added.
• Flurry of Blows is no longer UNIQUE.
• There's around 10 new Dev/GMs that get their own T-shirts spawners (and a bunch of other, non related, social stuff).
  [wtb an ENDLESS social items bank/inventory pst!]

DNA-Locked Prototype Raven Combat Armor looks cool Any idea where it may be from?

18.4.15 to 18.5.0 patch:
(The XRDB crashed going from 18.4.15 to 18.5.0, but not the other way around, so there is stuff missing... nano programs for one thing )

viewer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5329566/AO/aodboffline.zip
patch : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5329566/AO/18.5.0.zip

The testserver patch from 18.5.0.10 to 18.5.0.11 didn't seem to contain any item changes.
Live 18.5.0 and Test 18.5.0.11 seem to be identical items-wise.

[Xyphos]

XRDB configuration was recently updated to 18.05.00.00 live dimension.
Please download the updated configurations here.

however, I no longer have a testlive installation so I cannot offer support for testlive patches at this time.

[CriticalDmg]

Thanks Xyphos for the update.
But now there's a new problem - the xml is completely stalling aodboffline, since it can't read some new tags properly: img src=tdb://id:iconname & a href='itemref://min/high/ql (took me quite a while to figure it out going trough a 2.3MB text file without any dedicated tools ).

I have manually fixed/broken (depends who you ask ) them to be:
img src=tdb:/id:iconname & a href='itemref:/min/high/ql instead (// -> /), and that works fine in aodboffline.


So, here's a full & working rerip of 18.4.15 to 18.5.0:

Edit: the new patch on the test server (18.5.1.0) got no new/modified items.
