Hello friends and a happy November to all of you! Last month we saw some activity return to the server as a mysterious mansion appeared near the Tree of Spirits. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Halloween event and the Halls of Insanity, I hope you all got some nice loots or made some souls! This month we have a smaller update that includes few changes to various plugins, a couple of new features, and a poll for MCMMO resets.

Advanced Enchantments
This month we see some of the new enchantments that debuted in last months event now added to the regular Minecraft enchantment table! There is now a small chance with every enchant to roll one of these new enhchantments. The following qualities of these new enchantments can be obtained; SIMPLE, UNIQUE, ELITE, ULTIMATE. Documentation about all of these new enchantments can be found here: https://ae.advancedplugins.net/enchantments/list-of-enchantments/default-enchants-200+
*FABLED, LEGENDARY qualities can not currently be obtained through normal means!

Spawn Plots
There are now FIVE plots that have been put up for rent at spawn! These cost 30 Corrupted Souls per day of rental time and are able to be used for any purpose you would like whether that be a spot for your own shops, a faction embassy, or just a home away from home! I only ask that currently they be utilized ONE PER FACTION. If there is a high demand for these plots we can potentially see some more added in the near future!
*/as addfriend will allow you to add your faction mates for building on your rented plot!

Factions
Last month I said that we had plans to move over to the paid version of factions. I apologize, but we will not be making the switch this month and it possibly has been pushed back into the new year. I will have more information on when the switch will occur in the future! However, in the meantime, I have gone ahead and made some small changes to current Factions balance as a whole, they are as follows;
- Player power has been boosted to 20 from 10
- Added the ability to make claims unconnected from your first claim.
- Power loss upon death has been upped to -4 from -2
MCMMO Reset Poll
Below is a link to a poll for how we should handle MCMMO resets. Please take a moment to cast a vote. The results will be reviewed next week! https://take.quiz-maker.com/poll4563726x1ff645FC-143
Silk Touch Spawners
Spawners can now be Silk-Touched and upon collection they will retain their spawn! Reminder that spawners can be purchased from the admin shop at spawn!

Featured Builds & Footnote
Going forward, if anyone has a build they are particularly proud of or a build that they would just like to show off please feel free to PM some screenshots to me on Discord; Coldwave#5095. I would love to feature some of your builds on the monthly blog posts. Maybe we could see some sort of build competition return in the future as well.
Thank you all for your recent participation in the server through building, grinding, and just playing the game. Looking ahead this month I hope to reconstitute resource buy-backs in the next week or two! I also hope to have another event lined up next month to celebrate Christmas and we might try to hold a server meeting as well if all goes well!
