-Added Butchers back to the graveyards for Halloween.
-Enabled all Halloween content to include Trick or treating, begging rewards, pumpkin harvesting, and players spawning zombies when they die.
-Added Synaeva to spawn in Silverash. This allows the friend of the fey quest to be obtained.
-New stable claim menu has been added. You can now see more info about your pets in the stable without removing the pet from the stable.
-New Pet Breeding system. You can now breed pets directly in the stables from the new stable claim menu. Breeding pets has a 24 hour cooldown and will result in you receiving a deed to reclaim your pets. Each breeding session costs 60k gold pieces. Pets can only be bred up to 5 times and max generation size of 10. There are side effects now implemented for breeding between the parents and offspring. For more information on pet breeding, visit pet breeding in our wiki.
-New Mutation system. Breeding pets will now have a chance at the baby pet receiving a mutation. See more information on our wiki.
-New Pet Nature system. All pets now spawn with a specific Pet nature that will help or hinder the pet. See pet natures section of our wiki.
-Pets now have a slayer expertise system that will help the pet do more damage to creature types. Once your pet reaches 100 percent in the specific slayer expertise, it will do double damage to that specific creature type.
-Pet Nature re-roll scrolls are now being sold by animal trainer. This allows you to re-roll the nature of your bonded targeted pet.
-Animal taming aptitudes have been completely redone. To access the new pet ability gump you will need to purchase a Aptitude ability book from any animal trainer. To see more details, go to the specific page of our wiki.
-Animal taming aptitudes have had gain rates adjusted to be easier to gain.
-Animal lore gump has been completely redone.
-Pet training and leveling is now more on track with the official EA servers. To read more about that see that specific page of our wiki.
-Pet power scrolls are now obtained by using your pets to fight. You will be awarded a pet power scroll in a similar fashion that paragon artifacts are rewarded.

-Updated repair to work with certain bracelets and rings that were unrepairable.
-Fixed the issue with being unable to create an elf or gargoyle character.
-Mounted pets no longer count toward your follower limit. If you get off a mount and it puts you over the 5 follower slots, you will be unable to issue orders to your pets until you get below that limit. You may have your pets follow you and that's it. Additionally, monsters will ignore your pets and attack you instead.
-You can now tame pets that would put you over the follower max count. Doing so will cause you to not be able to give any orders except follow to your pets. Same as above where monsters will target you instead of the pets.
-Ethereal Mounts no longer take up one follow slot.
-Serpentine dragons and shadow wyrms are now tamable.
-When a pet is attacking, it will gain a damage bonus based on the tamer's herding skill and whether or not the tamer has a crook equipped.
