Hello everyone! I am back for the end of the month progress on Ebonside Rewritten!
I have to admit, I haven't been very active due to recent personal events but! I got some stuff to share
with you all today!

First let us go into the new changes with the main 4 classes!
Warrior: has been changed to be as basic as possible. With three sets of moves.
Attacks - will attack the same enemy depending on the number I.e Double Attack will attack Twice
Slashs - will attack random enemies depending on the number
Slams - will attack all enemies
Warrior is also been changed to soft tank with Provoke and use small buffs to the party to boost
attack, defense and crit rate.
Black mage: has obtained new spells to their kit as well as utility skills
New AOE Spells: BLM has obtained new AOE spells in their spell list. Now, all elemental spells and some debuff spells have AOE variants.
New Utility skills: Black mage now as new skills to help them in combat, like Nulflare, which will
dispell basic buffs while doing non-elemental damage.
White mage: Massive changes to their spell list
More spells: White mage has gotten a massive overhaul. Adding need spells that help the party with the ability to cast revive and auto life. As well providing buffs for the party!
Thief: Eh. I didn't really change much besides some balancing.
We have also add a new boss to the main storyline!
As well as adding some changes to make the local NM system work just a little bit better.
Before and in the current version, players would be able to hunt NM's to gain money and points for the Monster Hunters Guild and maybe have chance to snag a weapon off of them.
Now, we are taking a page from one of our favorite games to give it a more rewarding experience.
Loot Bags!
Monsters like NM's or mainline chapter bosses [after you fight them the first time] will drop loot bags with an assortment of items from armor, weapons and maybe even stuff for your house!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who still plays the game, and those who still support it.
this year has been shit but, y'all make it better.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post a devlog of all the things I have be up to with the next update of Ebonside. A lot of new stuff is coming when I can get the time to complete it.
Here is a list of all things I am planning on adding to the game.

Adding Kakata Racing. Yes I am finally adding the ability to race these damn birds, but its in a way that isn't like normal racing, its state based. So if you raise a Kakata with crappy stats, you most likely wont win most the time.
Adding a new questline. I am adding a small questline that takes play in the city of Zen'ja. Scaled for lv 80-99. This questline gives ya two new bosses to test your party! As well as new weapons and armor!
Adding more the Kakata Digging. This update will bring the digging mechanic to kakatas, allow you to dig up area items and maybe start some new quests!
Adding the Encyclopedia. I have gotten complaints about not having a book that tells you about a monster or item. So I am adding one to the game, where you can find it in the first monsterhunters guild in yon' yen.
Jerry.

V1.7.6 Life and Love Update.
Hello everyone! Today I have amazing news, I have been working really hard on ebonside! As of y'all know. I have been going through it lately, getting evicted, getting laid off, having my flipping house burn down. I have had my fair share of crap lately, but today I am glad to an
Hello everyone! Today I have amazing news, I have been working really hard on ebonside!
As of y'all know. I have been going through it lately, getting evicted, getting laid off, having my flipping house burn down. I have had my fair share of crap lately, but today I am glad to announce Ebonside's
Life and Love Update
Features that I added include are the following:

Monster hunter guilds all over Mest Jest! Strike down those NM's and get rewarded for it! An MHG has been added to Ja'dolin and P'ran, with new bounty quests!
NPC Lore! Each city has been updated to have more NPCs with special dialog for each npc, from complains about life, to lore about the city. The world of Mest Jest has gotten bigger and ready to explore!
Fixed/Added new Quests. Hop into the new bounty quests as well as some new quests in some cities! I have also fixed some quests not working/ not appearing.
Nerfed Dethard, unfortunately he was able to learn spells that made him really fricking overpowered then what he already is. He is no longer able to learn spells like "Death Count" and "Omega". If you already have these spells in your save, then Ignore this.
General bug Fixes, I have fixed a multitude of bugs ranging from "oh that's weird" to "That's game breaking". These bugs included the Orb stack glitch, which allowed for max stats on weapons and armor, to combat this. Once you augment a piece of equipment, it is permanent. So choose wisely.
Beast-master fixes. I believe I have fixed the problem with Beast-master regarding the monsters bugging out the system. The problem with it was that it was trying to read every single weapon that could be Duel Wielded, and since all the weapons besides the broths didn't have a sprite. It would cause an error. This has being fixed and tested on my end, but I can't say it won't break. Just because during my testing it worked as intented.
Reworked Kakata Raising. You can know have kakatas with stats! The main one being Loyalty. The stats currently don't do anything as of right now. But, in the next update they will play a big role in events like Kakata racing, digging and fighting. That's right, fighting. Bird Up.
NPC Recognitions. Npcs in towns will give special dialog regarding to who is in your party, so keep a look out!
Thank you all for baring with me these couple of months, I say this again. I am sorry, I really love this project and I want to continue working on it. This is my baby, and it takes me back to my days of FFXI.
With everything going on in my life, it has gotten harder to work on it. But rest assured. The DLC will come out, and you guys will get to enjoy all the new content that comes with it.
If you want more updates regarding Ebonside, do think about joining the Discord! Until then
Enjoy the new update and if you find any bugs, either make a post on the discussions board or post
them in the #Bugs tab in discord.

Hello! I have heard the complains about the RAR bug. But, I genuinely have no idea what is causing it. Normally how steam games work is that you compress the game files into a rar and then Steam uncompressed it and plays the game. But as of late, it hasn't been doing it. The curr
