• Fixed bug where players couldn't log in after logging out after being frozen
• Fixed an issue causing erroneous persistence of graves
• Fixed regression causing GE to eat noted items
• Fixed item dupe in GE
• Fixed combat movement regression that occurred when fighting large NPCs
• Deep wilderness threat balancing
  
  Killing the hostile event now removes all built up threat
  Hostile event can now follow the player up/down stairs, through cave entrances, etc.
  Hostile event now applies disease status for 25 hits when killed
  Reduced the threat gained by killing NPCs by 5x
  Increased the threat gained by brawlers drops by 3.75x
  PvP gear drops now award maximum threat (30 minutes to return to zero)
  In summary, the hostile event will trigger less often but will be more dangerous
• Added droptrick check to Sir Pyrsin dialogue for silverlight
• Deep wilderness balancing
  
  Added a threat system to the deep wilderness that increases as a player kills NPCs to add balance to lucrative drop rates of PvP items in the deep wilderness
  Threat decreases with time
  Threat only increases in the deep wilderness
  As threat increases, the risk of encountering hostile wilderness events increases
  Hostile wilderness events may spawn anywhere in the wilderness
  Improved the safety checks on items dropped in PvP
  Untradeable items dropped in PvP will now yield an amount of coins proportional to the item's high alchemy value, and delete the item. This amount is halved if the killer doesn't have the level for high alchemy. An additional 250 gp is deducted (after halving, if applicable) from all items to account for the hypothetical cost of a nature rune
  Added admin command to view threat level ::dwthreat
• Batched grafana writes into 30 second intervals
• Made it possible to get multiple Silverlights after completing Demon Slayer
  Made it possible to craft Darklight with black ink after completing The Golem quest
• Converted goblin village population sign into listener
• Fixed regression - wilderness levers and obelisk teleports
• Fixed regression - the restless ghost is now able to be completed by adding the skull to the coffin
  Fixed regression - house teleport and teletabs not working due to being teleblocked by the cast
  Fixed regression - WildernessGateHandler now only prompts the player and applies the skull when interacting with the gates in the wilderness and not other gates
• Fixed unreachable grand exchange NPC exchange option
