*Class Enhancements*

*Spell Enhancements* - Level 35+ casters will now automatically meditate while sitting.

Looks like about 7~ months of book meditating for all levels until level 35+ can just sit meditate.

Oh funny I forgot this took awhile to be patched in. I guess we get to find out how committed to classic Rogean is [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Tbh the book isn't exactly obtrusive, I don't think it'd be a big deal to require it for a few months. But that's just me.

The book on our client is so small it's a nonissue. It would only affect people who forget to press the Meditate button and they'll be well trained to do so before level 35. Add it because classic, but seems low priority from a "impacts gameplay" standpoint. Obviously it would be more crucial if we ever got fullscreen spellbooks.

I know it seems minor but it recreates that classic experience in a big way.

Great point that 35+ bookless only came later.

Possible to get this in prior to Green launch?
