    For those who don't religiously check Recent Changes, here is a summary of significant edits that have been made to the Library over the past few months. As is almost always the case with Library tweaks, anyone who already has an affected treasure or character is free to ignore these changes.

    :yomp::master:

    The biggest news is the addition of Unusual Characters. In effect, anything that can be a pet, mount, combat comanpion, or the like can be made into a character in its own right--although it is a bit more limited in what it can do compared to a character of a normal race.

    On the subject of races and characters, all races now have full description pages. The following races have been expanded to allow this:
    - Deku Scrubs
    - Sheikah
    - Tokay (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Wizzrobes (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Koroks (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Kokiri (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Kikwi (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Subrosians (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Skull Kids (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Mogma (Credit to Cataphractoi)
    - Gorons (Credit to Cataphractoi)

    New Treasures
    - Alter Shadow (Partial credit to Devil-Steel)
    - Amphibious Vehicle
    - Animate Weapon (Credit to Cloud)
    - Animal Emissary
    - Cane of Mago
    - Cannon Shout
    - Cloud Seed Supply (Credit to WillowtheWisp)
    - Cowardly Socks
    - Ear of Truth (Partial credit to Saria)
    - Geyser
    - Gravity Disc (Credit to Eevachu)
    - Great Flying Machine
    - Guided Bolt
    - Hearing Shell
    - Heightened Hearing (Credit to Devil-Steel)
    - Illusive Clone
    - Imprint Crystal
    - Magic Cape
    - Miniature Mount
    - Mirror Shot
    - Nayru's Love
    - Palm of Gohdan
    - Platforming Shoes
    - Tidy Pouch
    - Tremor
    - Shield Ring
    - Summon Stal (Credit to Cloud)
    - Summon Weapon (Credit to Cloud)
    - Tendrils of Darkness (Credit to Devil-Steel)

    New Materials
    - Aversion Pelt
    - Beamos Eye
    - Cloud Stone (Credit to Cloud)
    - Cloud Seed (Credit to WillowtheWisp)
    - Gripskin (Credit to Eternis)
    - Sun Stone (Credit to Cloud)

    Cost Reductions
    - Beetle
    - Dark Affinity (It is now a Major treasure, however.)
    - Dowsing
    - Gift of Light
    - Hero's Charm
    - Mirror Shield
    - Permanent Increase (The cost reduction only applies for characters of common races.)
    - Reflect
    - Vapor Cloth (material)
    - Void Wave
    Warp Willow (material)

    Cost Increases
    - Compass
    - Muscle Band
    - Powder Charge

    Other Treasure Tweaks
    - Curse now has several more options, including becoming undead or amphibious.
    - Fairy Spell has gained a new augment, "Share Fairy," allowing it to be cast on willing allies.
    - Hoarder now affects a wider variety of treasures.
    - Melee Magic can now also be used with elbows, knees, and feet. (Credit to Devil-Steel)
    - Nonlethal Enchantment has been buffed slightly, so it is virtually impossible to kill someone with it.
    - Permanent Increase no longer has a cap, making it possible (albeit very expensive) to have a character with a PWC of 5/5/5.
    - Sense is now a racial perk for Tokay as well as Hylians.
    - Straight Shooting now ignores magnetism as well as wind.
    - Water Hop is now a free racial perk for Koroks as well as Deku Scrubs.
    - Wizzwarp now specifically works every 10 seconds, rather than every "few seconds."
    - Dark Affinity has been reduced from 80 rupees to 50, but is now considered a Major treasure. Anyone who already has (or is currently earning) Dark Affinity may choose to ignore this change. Eternis is the only active member this may affect.

    Organizational Changes
    A new field, the Sound Field, has been added.

    The 'Set Cost' category now excludes treasures which are only used as crafting materials.

    Five new categories have been added:
    - Set cost of 20 or less rupees
    - Set cost of 21 to 50 rupees
    - Set cost of 51 to 90 rupees
    - Set cost of over 90 rupees
    - Variable set cost
    These are all sub-categories of the 'Set Cost' category. Crafting materials are excluding from these as well.

    There's also been numerous minor changes, such as adding new sections of trivia, correcting typos, or rephrasing treasures to be less confusing.

    As with everything related to the Library, feel free to critique, so long as your goal is to help the Library a better tool for everyone. :ralts:

    Guy, the page for Nayru's Love still says This treasure is a tentative addition to Hyrule Castle, and is still undergoing revision. It is not yet available to player-characters. If you listed it in this thread as added, I assume that clause needs to be removed?

    That distinction was discussed and decided upon in another thread, which you can view by clicking here.

    Ah, I didn't edit everything that needed editing, apparently. It's now fixed.

    ...I'm still unsure why you're posting that in this thread, though.
