Disabling greeding on the map is not possible at this time, as this would require disabling the skill for all dungeons.

Our maintenance is underway, here are the notes on what is being updated this week:

===RENEWAL===
-Unicorn spawns are going to be increased for the Lunar New Year events
-Flavius BG with Tierra Gorge Mechanics testing will be added to Sakray
-Effects on Cat Santa Hat costume will lose all of it's effects.

-MVP summoner updated, will now offer the choice of these MVPs: Kiel, Hatii, Dark Lord, Doppelganger, Atroce. We'll work on getting these cycled much more regularly.

Barring further bug squashing needed by HQ, we should be receiving the Battlegrounds Queue system late this week for internal testing. Implementation on Sakray soon after.

Next week:
-A raft of quests coming

Turn Ins:
70-100 Sleeper / Harpy
101-125 Naga / Cornus
126-150 Parus / Pom Anderson 'The Spider' Silva

===CLASSIC===
-Headgear creation quests added in last week that had monster kill counts will now properly track the number of monsters killed.

-Pet food for Nightmare Terror added to pet groomer NPC

-We're still having issues with Classic Sakray, there are some accessibility options that we need to fix before players will be able to get on it.

For this reason, we'll be testing the Flavius BG with Tierra Gorge mechanics on Renewal Sakray. The NPC scripting should be cross server compatible, so at least we can see if the BG will run. We'll get that set up ASAP.

Juno spotlight will end on Feb 12th, next week.
