The quest guide now takes you right to a quest's hidden place instead of stopping where the tracker turns "Warm". Before, standing near a hidden place (like the two river spots by the Blackoak Wood bridge in the level-11 water quest) left your character standing still on every press, and you had to walk back to the village to carry on. EXP from monsters is down to 60% so levelling keeps a steadier pace, in step with quest EXP. Seeplings come back more slowly (45 seconds instead of 9), so filling the flask at the pool in The Lid is no longer interrupted over and over.
