What's Unique About Leaftide
Custom Infinite Server can raise all attributes and spend lum on custom Augs
Revised hunting dungeons to provide tiered pathway to gain XP
Devs that are players and content creators that need more content to experience themselves
Quality of Life Improvements
Quest Bonus system has been migrated to the Account level. QB is calculated by: Quest stamps added by quests to the quest registry, and additionally one QB once the quest has been completed. (Note, there is no filter on these quests, and nothing special needs to be done with the quest to make it eligible for QB, as long as it appears in the quest registry, it will work.) 0.5% xp and lum gain per QB flag...Lou Ka's stolen items is ~20 QB...we are Making Questing Great Again
Offline Pass-up works...because sometimes IRL IRL's
Luminance now passes up like xp
Luminance goes straight to the bank so you dont lose 1 mil luminance on a 2.5 mil lum turn in
a Bank System to store your hard earned Pyreals and Luminance without losing the surcharge to purchase MMD's
Oil of Rendering now provides a rended academy weapon to start your adventures. Void Mages can Turn in the piercing academy wand in the Marketplace to the weapon Exchanger for a Biting Strike Wand.
More attribute contribution to damage calculations. For spells, Self and Focus (both 25%) contribute to damage, and for Finesse 25% of strength applies in addition to Coord for damage. (Note, 25% is in relation to the normal base stat applications, like Strength for 2 hand or Coord for Bow)

Dungeon Improvements
All Starter dungeons have had their Max Level Restrictions removed
Mountain Citadel has been overrun with Tukora Sentinels. Please be careful if adventuring into the dungeon. Density is currently low...for now (foreshadowing)
In an effort to reduce Tusker Barracks being camped. Spawn rate has been reduced from 5 minutes to 30 second
Creepy Canyon respawn rate reduced to 30 seconds from 4 minutes
Matron Hive North, West, and South have had their respawn rate reduced to 60 seconds from 480 for all the mobs except Grubs and the Queen
Matron hive East has had the respawn timer reduced to 240 seconds from 480 for all mobs except the Grubs and the Queen
EO main has now been infiltrated with Olthoi Slashers and Slayers. The spawn rate is substantially increased, and Rippers have been removed
Egg Orchard West has been absolutely overrun by Olthoi Rippers with a rapid spawn rate. Be careful out there folks
EO East is now a tier 8 dungeon. On top we have Augmented Swarm Demons, and on the bottom Augmented Eviscerators. The bottom is incredibly dangerous, please tread carefully as body recoveries won't be easy.
Black Spawn Den (Ayan Baqur) has a new breed of tusker there. They are slightly weaker than Stompers, however the spawn density is increased from creepy canyon and should be more lucrative. This is going to be the lowest difficulty variation of BSD going forward.
Wai Jhou BSD (Obsidian Plains) has been overrun by Enraged Stompers. This is now a T8 dungeon and will be a large step up from Ayan BSD
Obsidian Plains BSD is now summonable and has a level 180 minimum.
Swamp Temple: Added a mob generator that generates Swamp Gromnies where they normally are at a faster rate
Items and Loot Improvments
Item Levels - Have currently been removed and may make a more refined not totally overpowered comeback after some additional testing
The new Server Currency is in! How do you prepare to use it? Aetheria Powder is a key part of the recipe. Save your Aetheria (color is relevant, but level is not). Certain coins and trinkets can be "Enlightened" with Aetheria powder. There is no skill check for these. Quality of the Trinket and quality of the Aetheria Powder will determine the quality of the coin. Low, Normal, and High quality will be put into the game on 3 different (likely monkey related, because why not) vendors
Encapsulated spirits now stack up to 10,000 from 50. Also their weight has been cut in half to 25 burden each from 50.
MMD's now weight 0
Luminance and Augmentations
Luminance Augmentation Crystals are now purchasable! There is 1 Gem per School. They can be purchased using the Enlightened Coin, from the grand monkey thingy.
Creature augmentation adds 1 to your Self Spells. This is additive and can continue to be purchased infinitely (costing slightly more Lum each use). Lum is charged on use of the crystals. Cost is independent per crystal type
Item augmentation adds 1 to standard numerical Self spells like Blood Drinker, or +1% to percentage based spells
Life augmentation adds 1 to Life spells, including Protections, Rejuvs, Imperils, and Harms / Martyrs / Drains.
War and Void both function similarly in that each augmentation adds 1 additional damage.
