[DEV] Sneak Peek at Internal Release Notes, July 13

The public release note item (high level herbivores boost)

Named creatures respawn delay : In patch 71, we partially revamped the
named creatures of Atys to change their respawn delay from
'immediately!' to 4-8 hours (random) and to let them wandering around
instead of staying at the same location. However, high level groups now
have a hard time finding good challengers, since named creatures cannot
be used to gain experience efficiently anymore.

While we do not want to revert to the old behavior, as named creatures
are true individuals and chain-killing them wouldn't fit that purpose,
we still want to help a bit here. We will lower the respawn delay
to 2-5 hours (random). Also, to compensate the loss of high level
challenge for groups, we will modify 4 of the races currently wandering
on the high level areas, multiplying their HP and experience reward by
5. They are all herbivores.

The affected creatures will be :

* Madakam :
o Matis : Grove of Confusion
o Zorai : Grove of Umbra, Knot of Dementia

* Shalah :o Fyros : Scorched Corridor
o Tryker : Bounty Beaches, Enchanted Isle

* Bolobi :o Tryker : Lagoons of Loria
o Matis : Upper Bog, Heretic's Hovel, Hidden Source

* Ploderos :o Zorai : The Void
o Fyros : Savage Dunes, Dunes of Exile, Outlaw Canyon
