• Claim Shield: Added to prominent NMs to provide a fair playing experience for all players. HorizonXI uses a lottery based claim shield system where each person has the opportunity to act on the mob once for a chance to claim the monster. After all players have acted and the claim window has closed, the monster will randomly select one person who acted on it and give them the claim. Multiple actions taken on a monster during the lottery do not increase your chances at claiming - each person can only enter the claim lottery once before the lottery window ends.
• Inventory Expansions: Mog Wardrobes 1 and 2 to be unlocked by completing certain objectives (see “System: Inventory Expansion” section below)
• Treasure Hunter: Era accurate (we used SE's official Treasure Hunter chart to build our system)
• Era accurate drop rates: Drop rates for all items have been adjusted to reflect the era experience more accurately

Things found to be broken or just not working as intended.

Effectively all monk abilities have been untested.

Focus not giving crit rate.

Dodge Not enhancing guard rate.

Boost only giving 5% increased attack.

Counterstance reduces more defense than normal and doesn't give any positive buffs.

Many Weapon Skill Properties were changed in game but text was never updated. our list updates them to the known values if found.

Pet food incorrectly displays level 1 for all types, need to be correct level from retail to equip and use.

Many mobs have been altered from their original form, but the mobs base stats and id's remain the same, causing issues with place holders, mob info, and abilities becoming incorrect. (IE> Diremites in fei'in not being charmable as they should be, but are reading as arhiem eye's or gigas's causing incorrect killer effects to activate and resistances to be wrong for someone going off what they see.)
