Revamped pet experience system, tons of clade gift changes and brand new creatures to fight are just some of the additions in patch 0.1.4.5!

Added

• Certain books can now teach you not only the skill attached to it but also the skill’s parent skills if you do not know them.
  
• Horse Bags now add a small amount of defense to the mount they are equipped on.
  
• Pets can now have equipment that adds defense.
  
• AI can now be set to hide until they aggro.
  
• Pet leveling has changed; it now uses an experience system. Pets passively gain experience every 10th second while tamed, the amount of experience they gain per tick is based on their current loyalty. The amount uses a curve so the pet gains very little experience when it's under 800 loyalty and then from 800-1000 it gains much more. The pet gains even more experience if it's attacking something. Animal Care skill lowers the time between ticks from 10 down to 5 seconds.
  
• Pets that gain enough experience to level up but the owner don't have enough pet points to level it up will now keep their experience and level up once the owner has enough pet points. You can see your pet's experience in the pet window.

First noticeable change is that NPCs from for example the Alvarin and Oghmir clades will now appear as either clade member (Veela/Sheevra or Blainn/Huergar).
  
• The melee charge power curve changed again. It is slightly more linear and bumps the light spam attacks back on the menu, but not as strong as they have previously been.
