- Increased polygon count for all models

Polaris Line
- Increased bullet speed
- Reduced the damage for all versions

Catalyzer Line
- Normal attacks now cling to mobs and charge shots detonate them
- Charge shot has an aura around it that activates any catalyzer orbitals within it

Misc Changes

Zapper - Added shock chance to regular attacks
Pepperbox - Increased damage slightly
Fiery Pepperbox - Increased damage slightly and added fire chance to regular attacks

NOTE: For the rest of December, the Prize Wheel in the Clockworks will have an increased chance to give out materials for gun recipes. You can get the recipes themselves from Basil.

Have fun and stay safe, knights!

A gentle reminder that the Prize Wheel lockboxes have rotated for the month. Watch for Gold Lockboxes, which contain accessories such as monocles, toupees, ribbons, and canteens. Enjoy!

For thousands of years, our forebears have celebrated the time-honored tradition we call Cyber Monday. On this day, with each passing solar circumvolution, we take time to ponder the material plane and its deep meaning to our people and indeed, to the universe itself.

*cue dignified music*

Today, we are proud to offer you, our devoted and steadfast knights,

(EDIT: What Eurydice is trying to say is that you should keep your eye on the Supply Depot, where we have flash sales rotating all day on Monday, December 1, 2014. -Clotho)

And so, in conclusion, go forth and find for yourselves something to hold onto in this world, an anchor in these trying times

(EDIT: STAHP. IT. -Thalia)

Be well, knights, and have a meaningful, contemplative Cyber Monday.

*end dignified music*

You may have noticed the Gobble Snipes have stopped by Haven to visit the Strangers once again! Now is your chance to invite gold, brown, and black Gobble Snipes to roost permanently in your guild hall via the Gobble Snipe Box, detailed here. Each box contains a Gobble Snipe, and a chance for a Gift of Autumn trinket. Gobble Snipes, by the way, make fine roommates, and they don't leave a mess like some of your fellow knights *COUGHCRONUSANDAPHRODITECOUGH* might.

Wow, sorry, really had to clear my *AHEMATALANTAANDHELIOSAHEM* throat there.

Gosh.

These feathery friends will stick around in Haven through December 1, 2014 and then be on their way, so be sure to say hello while you can!
