We've made several changes to Abiphones in preparation of a new Abiphone Keynote event. Stay tuned for that event in the near future!

Say hello to Abiphones & Co! This new building in The Hub will let early game players purchase an Abiphone Basic, a new budget model of Abiphone with 6 contact slots. Alda (the employee who works here) will also teach you how to add NPC contacts.

Players with the Cookie Buff and an Abiphone in their inventory have access to the new /call command. Need to reforge something? Use /call blacksmith! Checking what Dyes are in rotation this year? Use /call vincent! The command works for all NPCs that currently have a contact, so long as you have them added.

There's a new cosmetic type in this update: Axe Runes! This new type of Rune leaves particles behind it when throwing your Axe. For now there are only two Axe Runes available: Fading White and Fading Green. These new Runes drop from Fig and Mangrove Tree Gifts respectively.

We're introducing a new menu for reclaiming updated items with old data. Our aim is to add all future reclaims to this menu to reduce the amount of places in the game where items can be reclaimed. You can access this menu using the command /reclaim. Items with available reclaims will have a notice in their item description as well.

In addition to this menu, these six items are no longer dungeonizable and can now be reclaimed:

• The Primordial
• Halberd of the Shredded

• Reaper Sword
• Revenant Sword
• Undead Sword
