'''Combat''' got a voice in '''Server Update v5.8'''. Every hit now shows its number, every mob rolls its own damage, [[King Scorpia]] wakes as an announced world event, [[$KINS]] holder benefits went live, and three new hats joined the [[Hard Scroll]] pool.

== Hitsplats ==

Every hit lands as a '''red splat with the damage on it'''.

* Hit a mob and the number appears '''over its head'''.
* Get hit and the number appears '''over your own head'''.
* Land the killing blow and a '''skull and bones''' sits on the corpse for about '''2.5 seconds''', then fades.

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">Private numbers:</span> Splats are private. You see the damage you deal and the damage you take — nobody else's. A shown '''0''' is a real graze / miss, not a missing UI.</div>

Player health no longer snaps to multiples of 20. You can sit at values like '''63 HP''', and the splat tells you exactly how you got there.

== Per-mob damage rolls ==

Contact damage used to be counted in shared blocks of 20 HP. Every listed mob now rolls its own range on every hit:

{| class="wikitable"
! Mob !! Damage per hit
|-
| Chicken || '''0–1'''
|-
| Zombie || 2–10
|-
| Dragon || 3–12
|-
| Wolf || 3–12
|-
| [[Magma Brute]] || 8–19
|-
| [[Giant Scorpion]] || 9–20
|-
| Mini Venomweaver || 15–22
|-
| [[King Scorpia]] || '''23–36'''
|}

=== Eldergrove chickens ===

[[Whisperwood|Eldergrove]] chickens peck for '''0–1''' if you stand on them. A chicken '''can never kill you''' — the peck is capped short of your last point of health so the peaceful-realm promise still holds.

== King Scorpia world event ==

[[King Scorpia]] no longer regrows on a private 20–40 minute camper timer. He '''stays down until an event wakes him'''. At a random moment one server gets the boss, and '''the whole region is told which server and place''' via a banner.

His scroll rates were halved so scrolls-per-hour stay flat while he rises about twice as often:

{| class="wikitable"
! Drop !! Was !! Now
|-
| [[Hard Scroll]] || 1 in 100 || '''1 in 200'''
|-
| [[Medium Scroll]] || 1 in 75 || '''1 in 150'''
|}

Nothing else on his table moved. [[Venomweaver]] scroll rates were untouched.

== $KINS holder benefits ==

On-chain [[$KINS]] balance is read live and drives both nameplate/chat tint and XP boosts:

{| class="wikitable"
! Tier !! $KINS held !! XP boost
|-
| White || 1,000+ || —
|-
| Blue || 10,000+ || +1%
|-
| Green || 100,000+ || +2%
|-
| Gold || 1,000,000+ || +3%
|-
| Purple || 5,000,000+ || +4%
|}

XP boosts '''stack with the guild +5%''' (Purple + guild = +9%).

Threshold perks on top of the ladder:

{| class="wikitable"
! Held !! Perk
|-
| 25,000 || '''Double XP''' on daily-quest rewards
|-
| 50,000 || A '''sixth inventory row''' (24 → 30 slots)
|-
| 50,000 || '''My Outfits''' — five saved looks
|-
| 75,000 || A '''free bank page''' (+48 slots)
|-
| 75,000 || A '''second daily spin''' on the spinner
|-
| 100,000 || '''+5 marketplace listings''' at once
|}

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">Nothing is destroyed on tier drop:</span> If your balance falls under a line, extra inventory/bank rows '''lock in place with items still inside''' — padlocked, not emptied. Cross back over and they unlock again.</div>

== New Hard Scroll hats ==

All three drop from [[Hard Scroll]] redemption at '''1 in 1,000''' each (independent rolls):

* [[Straw Hat]] — new hat-slot cosmetic
* [[Demon Mask]] — wears in the '''glasses''' slot (stacks with any hat; cannot wear with actual glasses)
* [[Pirate Hat]] — new model for the old pirate hat

== Magma Brute respawn ==

[[Magma Brute]]s in [[Emberstone]] respawn in '''90 seconds''' (down from the briefly tested two-minute window).

== Quality-of-life and fixes ==

* Restyled death screen to match the carved-slate UI
* Fishing stall rod/raft purchases now ask for confirm (1-gold bait stays one-click)
* Rafts render correctly for players already sailing when you load in
* Whisperwood chicken swings land again after a tree-collision desync
* Eldergrove shack load hitch reduced (shared textures)
* Death/tombstone overflow, stack, and mount/cosmetic restore bugs fixed
* Drops with nowhere to go reach the bank
* Angler raffle refuses to roll into a full cosmetic bag
* The rod you fish with must be the rod in your hands (and in bags, not only the bank)
