Sense Heading does increase with use, only very slowly (seems fairly close to the rate it increases in EQLive, though).
I -think- Archery also does, but I'm not sure - haven't got to use this skill much
The archery crash bug occurs for me whatever my Archery skill is.
To TC - have you managed to find someone to compile me an updated zone/world.exe yet? Sorry to bother you - it's just I want to try out my updated merchant lists before 4.2 is out!
Regarding my DB, I've just added some Luclin spawns - Shar Vahl, the Nexus and Bazaar. Also I fixed the safe point problem with Shar Vahl (it's on the ground now, not 200 feet up
).
