Magician epic pet now has the Velious "prismatic" texture.

Ranger epics double as skinning knives.
Rogue epic can be used as a picklock

...

Added new food/drink for tradeskilling. Marr cherry pie (clump of dough, marr cherries, pie tin); winter chocolate milk (winter chocolate, bottle of milk); cold brewed coffee (generic coffee beans, chunk of ice, milk); flask of mango juice; flask of marr cherry juice; miller/kromdul carrot cake; royal jelly rolls; cinnamon buns; moonshine (essence of moonlight/chase the moon, firewater); barbarian trail mix (ro dates, bag of caynar nuts, wooly fungus, white chocolate); orc chops and orc rinds (yes, orcs now drop orc meat).

Timorous Coconuts are now edible and potable; mangos are now edible; rice can now be cooked, combining a pot and flasks of water in an oven to create edible "steamed rice"; eggs can now be hard boiled combining a pot and flasks of water in an oven.

...

Gelatenous Cubes have a chance of dropping edible goo.

...

Added Primal Velium Rapier, Claw, and Boots/Slippers.

...

The appearance of Zlandicar's Heart/Glowing Black Stone changed to a black orb, Fist/Essence of Nature changed to a green orb, Wurmscale Fistwraps changed to a blue orb. Drachnid Thyxl, Orb of Tishan, and the like remain unchanged.
Obviously a lot on that list would never happen, but I truly do think it'd be "classic+" (and in keeping with Brad's spirit) to make Blue have changes like these. It's never made any sense that Zlandicar has a "heart of sword", or that the Timorous Coconuts can't be eaten.

Similarly other ideas, like adding more recipes (and instrument crafting), letting Ranger/Rogue epics have a minor meaningless effect on their epic, etc. won't in any way unbalance or ruin the game, it will just make it a little richer.

To me, the perfect Project 1999 would have a classic-only Green server that merges, like clockwork, into Blue every 3-5 years ... and a Blue server that people want to play on, even when the more classic Green exists alongside it, because it isn't just the "leftovers of past Greens" ... it's also Classic+.
