  • Soft caps are at 40, 60 and 80.
• Added DamageImmunity and <element>DamageImmunity statuses.
  • These are a % of damage outright negated after resistances are calculated.

    • And it will suck for you if it is.

    • Keep in mind that only staff will be able to use it proper.

• Added a very special reward after finishing Sarah the Husky's questline.
• New content should now actually be accessible.
• To make upkeep easier on staff, the item-generation code now stores the time when you can generate a new item, rather than the time of last creation.
