Another early one!

Bonus points if this looks familiar to you.

Down in South Africa, the public holidays tend to fly thick and fast around this time of year. Yet another 4-day work week has wrapped up at the QCF office and this means yet another Thursday update for people who like getting their DD fix a bit earlier than usual.

We’ve nearly finished the standard class challenges, and although we’ve still got to get around to adjusting most of the older ones, we’ve introduced a few ideas in this week’s batch for people to chew on (the broken Paladin challenge tree has been similarly tweaked, since it didn’t really count before now).

Those who like wearing protective suits of metal will be glad to hear that two new toys exist for them to play about with (well, one of them is just making a return with an adjustment). There’s also been some changes to the Wizard’s Tower, a more practical item conversion opportunity for Taurog worshippers and some other items buffs / nerfs where we thought they were needed.

Enjoy the early update! It’s a short week, but we reckon we pulled in a fair amount of content this time around. Changelog follows:
