      Well that's uhm...interseting.
      If players attempt to use spells or abilities to claim a monster before a set amount of time has passed since it appeared, they will not be able to use those spells etc. again for a certain duration.
      So you have to claim them with an attack or something? Props to everyone with ranged weapons.

      About time they created /bloackaid
      When asking for a new signal pearl, the relationship between a player and a Fellowship NPC will now worsen slightly.
      I didn't know we even had a relationship. :sweat:

          Wonder if that applies to "Flee" because if not then everyone will need to sub thief in order to win a claim if it becomes a, "Who can hit the mob first" scenario.

                      So I guess you have to wait for a certain ammount of time before you can use Voke to claim an NM now. Makes sense, and interesting seeing people lose NM's before it even appears. Least now this will kill some of the claim botters and what not.
