Many Updates, Fixes, Additions, and Changes to RECALL and Player Shops INSPECT

from Official GemStone IV Discord, #development-announcements channel

Today I have rolled out a number of additions, changes, and bug fixes to the item summary system used by both RECALL and within the Player Shop system. I consider this a first pass and have plans to do a second pass to reveal additional item information in the not too distant future.

Summary of changes:
* 18 entirely new properties and 4 updated properties are now revealed in RECALL and Player Shops.
* 9 new/updated properties have been added to full loresongs.
* Some of these newly revealed properties include things such as: material (including details if it is lesser/greater), Artisan guild crafter and the crafted quality bonus, detailed Holy Symbol information (if APPRAISEd by a cleric/paladin first), automated value estimation (as revealed during a bard’s loresong), persistant identification of an imbedded spell, increased accuracy for charges remaining for imbeds, spiked armor, bless status (and flare type if applicable), bonded weapons, player enchanted item information, and more.
* Various bug fixes have been applied (some of which prevented certain properties from showing).
* One of the newly revealed properties you may now encounter includes “It has some unknown (scripted) benefit.”, which the script owner may or may not replace with a succinct summary of the scripted benefit in the future.
* A majority of temporary properties will now explicitly call themselves out as temporary on the same line as the property itself to help improve clarity. (If you have an item with a temporary property that is NOT doing this, please contact Meraki so she may further investigate it.)
* A majority of properties including resistances, weighting, padding, and sighting will now show on their own line instead of combined together. This improves clarity about the source of the property and should make it easier to identify temporary properties.
