Several changes since last time:
-- the guy who gives out staves also now gives out pouches for holding the
furs, hides, etc. It's probably a good idea to use them since they minimize
inventory spam.
-- any spent points from the last event have been restored. Unspent points
were lost forever.
-- merchants can find special monsters in the event who are looking for their
services. Killing these special monsters is not particularly helpful.
-- the plant eq boss is considerably harder for a single party now.
-- the tamed mount awards from the candy shop are switched out with tamed
redfang monsters instead of tamed normal animals.
