Baku has a new hard mission in his rotation called "Aged to
Perfection". Enjoy!

The rabite field has been changed a bit so that there, for a level 3
or lower player who hasn't yet drawn the sword of mana, the area has
almost no monsters yet. Upon drawing the sword of mana, reaching
level 4, or turning off missions, players will be taken to the
normal version of the rabite field which is full of monsters.
The empty version of the rabite field that's used in the first part
of the mission contains a single rabite, as well as a tutorial on
learning and using squire skills in battle. The hope is that this
not only teaches new players how to use skills in a more interactive
setting, but also help them realize that there is a mission to do
before they start immediately grinding out rabite kills.
Zodiac Rose Corsage

In the Zodiac versions of Final Fantasy 12, the Rose Corsage
accessory was buffed to grant a small bonus to defense and magic
defense in addition to giving the wearer silenceproof. This buffed
version of the item has been added to UOSSMUD as a separate item
from the Rose Corsage, named the Zodiac Rose Corsage.
The original Rose Corsage remains in play as a stealable item you
can wear at level 20. The new Zodiac Rose Corsage can be bought at
the fame shop by players who have completed the mission Lines of
Communication in the Southtown Sewers, and requires level 55 to
wear. Like a lot of other fame shop items, it's also cheap compared
to other equipment of its level and thus might make a good coliseum
wager.
Fooled you!

So, yeah. Movement abilities and Calculator were April Fool's Day
events and have been removed.

Along with movement abilities, we've also added a job that has long
been missing from UOSSMUD that existed in FFT: Calculator.
Calculator is a support job that allows players to use their math
skills to alter Oracle, Priest, Time Mage, and Wizard spells to hit
more enemies (or party members if healing) and do more
damage/healing.
In order to use calculations, a new command has been added: calculate
Calculate works similar to Dualcast. Players can input the
calculation they want to use with the command, and it will cause the
next valid ability used in the same round to target enemies or
allies that meet the calculation criteria. As such, you'll need to
remember to command stack with the calculate command.
Last but not least, because of the absurd complexity of the
Calculator job, we wanted to make sure players have a solid grasp of
mathematics, so you'll need to get to job levels 5 in Priest and
Wizard, levels 4 in Oracle and Time Mage, and obtain a score of at
least 150 on the PRAXIS II Mathematics examination.
Thanks to Roobiki for helping test out these abilities!
