			Players will now receive a bolded message when an enhancive first reaches 1 charge left. Players may also use INVENTORY ENHANCIVE and if any of their held or worn enhancives only have 1 charge left, it will list them. In both cases, if the item is visible, you'll sense the exact description of it. Otherwise, just a message denoting some hidden enhancive has reached that point.

			}}:''>A quick question - equipping an enhancive has the potential for stripping a charge, in addition to the random drain effect.
			:''>Do these mechanisms forego that potential? Or does the potential for stripping a charge upon activation still exist?

			The way enhancive charge drain works is that each active enhancive item is checked every so often while it is activated. If enough time has passed since the last degradation roll, then a new degradation roll is made. Equipping an item or using INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON both simply activate the item. Whether the degradation roll occurs or not depends solely on the time since the last degradation roll -- the method of activation has no bearing on this.

			:''>Once I use the inv enhansive off. Do I still have to potential to loose charge by removing or wearing enhansives?

			No. As noted above, none of your enhancive items will be active, so there will be no charge degradation rolls.

			:''>Also, just for my own reference, what is the behavior when the clock runs out? Do all your enhancives just turn back on, or do I get one last switch if they're off. I just want to make sure that if I start doing this and lose track of time that I'm not SOL if I think they're off for a week after time runs out.

			The only thing that is gated is the use of the INVENTORY ENHANCIVE OFF command. If your enhancives are turned off and your 30-day timer expires, they will continue to be off until you turn them back on via INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON (which is always a free command to use).

	There is a chance to lose a charge when you activate the item (which would be getting it in your hand if it's a [[weapon]] or [[shield]] or wearing it if it's a worn item). Then while an item is active there are periodic rolls made to see if a charge is lost. So the more you have an item active the more of these rolls take place.<br>		There is a chance to lose a charge when you activate the item (which would be getting it in your hand if it's a [[weapon]] or [[shield]] or wearing it if it's a worn item).

	People who keep their item active and are in the game for long periods of time tend to use up their enhancives much quicker than people who only keep theirs active for shorter periods or are not in the game as much. Of course there's also some luck to that and if the rolls go against you your item might seem to lose charges more quickly than someone else's, or if they go in your favor last much longer.~~<br>~~		People who keep their item active and are in the game for long periods of time tend to use up their enhancives much quicker than people who only keep theirs active for shorter periods or are not in the game as much.

	This will ensure players do not suffer a loss of their resources at a critical time (e.g. during a hunt and your [[mana-well potion]] ends) and that they will not suffer penalties for going below zero of their current pool (nerve damage from loss of mana, [[death]] from loss of hit points, etc).

	}}To better reflect the transient nature of enhancive items made to crumble after their final charges are gone, the assessed value of these items has been reduced. The silver value of enhancive properties of crumbly items will now be 2/3 of the value of the same properties in a non-crumbly item. Players might most readily see this change reflected in the reduced cost to recharge crumbly items using [[Adventurer's Guild]] bounty ~~points~~.		}}To better reflect the transient nature of enhancive items made to crumble after their final charges are gone, the assessed value of these items has been reduced.

	}}In response to player feedback, we've updated the [[~~AS\|~~Attack]] and [[DS\|Defense Strength]] formula when accounting for missing health and spirit. Instead of using the player's enhanced health/spirit, the combat system will no longer count +maximum health or spirit items against the player. Take note that enhancives which modify a player's [[Aura]] stat (thus increasing their spirit) are still used.		}}In response to player feedback, we've updated the [[Attack strength\|AS]] and [[DS\|Defense Strength]] formula when accounting for missing health and spirit.
