Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (LandSandBoat/server) focused on reliability, maintainability, and gameplay consistency across Nyzul, Apollyon, and Digging features. Major features completed include Nyzul door mapping with removal of unused door references and addition of door NPCs to Nyzul instances, and a refactor that separates Casket and Coffer methods/data for clearer organization. ID management and region-wide correctness were strengthened with GetFirstID() usage for Nyzul mobs and NPCs across instances 51, 58-59, and by making Apollyon mobs and loot crates across SW/SE/NW/NE and CS regions ID shift-proof. In Digging and related gameplay, we implemented balance and effects improvements (moon penalty relaxation, globalized information table, Denim Pants+1 and Black Chocobo Suit effects, Blue Race Silks effect) along with a utility to default nil values. A Mob models testing module was added to improve validation and QA. Several quality fixes were delivered, including correct avatar display, guild points reset on rank up, and door interaction stability. Overall, the month delivered tangible business value through increased stability, maintainability, and richer gameplay experiences, while lowering long-term maintenance costs through refactors and testability improvements.
