The first remade gear, and worlds that load as you watch
The ranged sets start their remake with Infernal and Leather, worlds load only while you are watching them, and higher-level monsters pay more experience.
Gear, remade
The Infernal ranged set is the first piece of the gear remake, on both bodies, followed by a new Leather set with a closed hood and seams only at the wrists and ankles. An empty chest slot now shows an undershirt, and the item icons are drawn from the new pieces. Birch and Mangrove followed the next day.
Worlds that load as you watch
A world loads only while you are looking at it, behind a loading bar from 0 to 100 %, and only the gear someone is wearing is loaded. The adventurer is also bigger in the woodcutting and mining worlds.
Monster experience
Every higher-level monster now pays more experience than the one below it, with elites a little above the rest of their level.
