Patch Notes July 9th
New Content:
Player Market: This is a new Darkfall Unholy Wars system which will change the way the game has been played so far and will make Darkfall Unholy Wars even more of a player-driven economy. You can read more about the Market System in this developer insight post

Every broken item in the game
Building modules
Ship modules
Ship cannons
Treasure maps
Lodestone
Chances for rare loot increase considerably in the most Dangerous areas of Agon.
New Warship: Sloop (Shipbuilding Mastery 1)
Added 3 new feats for capturing villages
General Fixes
Potential fix for map fog of war not working properly (black map bug). We believe this fix will take care of this issue, we need your feedback as this is difficult for us to test.
Fixed a bug where 'boss' mobs would not respawn if player despawned them by moving far away from the spawnpoint
Reduced the chance spirit bond will “break” due to line of sight.
Fixed a bug where a player would appear "falling" if he died while in the air
Fixed a bug where party modifiers would become inconsistent after toggling and inviting new members
Fixed a bug where a party member could get stuck in a party when the leader got disconnected and unable to join another party or invite other people in his own party
Fixed a bug where placing a used crafted weapon in your house safe would restore its durability and removing the crafter's name after server restart
Fixed so that if “points of interest” map markers were turned on, in-game FPS would drop considerably.
Fix for a special effect leak that would eventually lead to a crash on some occasions
Fixed a bug where when a character that was on someones friend list got deleted it would add a new random character in his place
Fixed a bug where Vulnerable Villages where being reset on Server Restart
Fixed a bug that didn’t clear combo points when using a mount’s alternative attacks.
Fixed a bug where when splitting a stack pressing backspace or delete was not fully clearing the input box
Added sound to the House Recall action
Player Housing Changes
From now whenever a player wants to transfer his/her house to another player the process goes through the trade system.
The target player has to accept the trade request and place all the items which he/she wants to exchange for the specific house.
The trade stops automatically if the player loses ownership of the house.
You can not trade a house while you are owe taxes on it.
On mouseover, on the house deed in the trading window, you can see the location of the house and the upgrades installed.
You can also see the location of your house on the map from now on by activating the personal markers.
General Changes
Captured village income messages no longer appear on screen
Danger zone map display can be toggled from the “Danger Regions” filter on the map
Tweaks on rare material/treasure map drop rates according to area’s danger level:
Essences and Maps now follow these multipliers on their probabilities
Protected - Mult 0.0
Danger Area: I - Mult 0.1
Danger Area: II - Mult 0.3
Danger Area: III - Mult 1.0
Danger Area: IV - Mult 1.45
Danger Area: V - Mult 3.5
So, rare Essences and Treasure maps are completely removed from Protected Areas.
The uncommon materials (e.g. Mandrake, Sulfur etc) probabilities keep using their old multipliers per danger area.
Protected Mult 1.0
Danger Area: I - Mult 1.1
Danger Area: II - Mult 1.2
Danger Area: III - Mult 1.3
Danger Area: IV - Mult 1.4
Danger Area: V - Mult 1.5
