I will be posting info on the sockets tomorrow morning or sooner, so please relax and have a little understanding.

Version 38

New halloween deco added, display on top of brit bank
XMLPoints Access changed
Item Id Skill cleaned up, will not work on mobiles at this point.
Town Invasion: Removed final announcement

Socket System Updated:
Sockets - Notes:  I never knew how screwed up this was until I started looking and recoding it.  I do expect the new system to require some tweaks but from the ground up it should provide a better and balanced system for combat.  This will open the door for more augments and new special attacks/defenses
Sockets - Special Attacks: Previous standard was to use the max damage of the weapon rather then the damage done during that around of combat, everything is based on the actual damage now.
Sockets - Special Attacks/Defense: The difference between the attacker and defenders luck is used to create a bonus modifier.
Sockets - Special Attacks/Defense: Actual var is generated from damage award multiplied by the primary stat percent based on the minimal required and maximum needed plus the bonus from luck
Sockets - Special Attacks/Defense: All skill checks are currently based on 75 - 175 however functionality is already in place that each augment can have its down skill check now.  I previously has the max set for 160 but decided to use the skill cap number instead for the initial system.
Sockets - Special Defense: Para Fear used freeze, now set to para prop

Giant Recluse Spider loot drop updated
Removed engraved title from the Mystic Mayhem
Deco Added - Halloween Themed items (Thanks to Tiea and Domino for going through fiddler)
October Quest Item: Alter drop rates
Necromancy spells and related files in sync
Haunted Hallows Talisman Added
Dark Hallows Talisman Added
Chest of the Hallows Added
