Planned downtime today

[Laephis]

At lunch time today I'm going to upgrade the shard to a newer version of scripts that been in testing. This will (re)introduce bulk order deeds and a new Blacksmithing interface, among other fixes. My short term goal (at least the next month) is to keep the changes to an absolute minimum, but after looking through Drocket's old changelog, I felt these scripts were important to push out sooner rather than later.

The server will come down around 12pm CDT and should last about 15-20 minutes.

And it's back up. Please post if you encounter any issues.

Bulk order deeds? How do they work? Are they requested from merchants as in OSI? How do we get one?

Bulk Order deeds:at random when you request a job from a vendor, they will give you a bulk order deed... you dclick it and it will tell you a very specific item to make, and how many. You then use the deed to selet matching items until you have enough. Finally, you return the deed for moolah. Also, there is no penalty for not completing one, other than that you can't get another for like 6 days if you don't complete it.
