1. I modified Mining to make it a bit more forgiving for ore drops. I also greatly reduced the frequency of bonus resources. I experimented with it quite a bit and the drops seem much better. We can try it out and see where we stand. I feel that Mining should be interesting and fun, and not frustrating and tedious (well, maybe a little tedious).

2. Vesper vendors should now refuse to sell to members of Lord British’s Faction.

3. I fixed the HelpGump so that the teleport option for New Players now sends them to Cove.

4. I modified the hunger system so that it will not kill you now (will not reduce hits to less than 0).

5. Tinkers should now be able to craft Fletcher’s Tools.

6. The Jade Statue in Masonry now requires Jade rather than Granite.

7. I added some new (I think interesting) drops to a few mobs.
