This is my personal/contributed bug list for the Neverlands shard. I used to have more, but my thread was removed from the Neverlands forums because I included huge exploits, this list I have decided to not include those exploits. This page also has some unbiased suggestions that would only promote skill usage and or economy balances.

Thanks to Gunganman for fixing a lot of bugs listed.

• When using scissors on corpses, NPCs or PCs you get the message: "Cancelled. You cannot cut coloured clothing.".

• There should be a way to re-deed other deeded furniture that can be used (EX: training dummy cannot be re-deeded because you can use it), maybe a command, or house menu command?
  
• Newbied items restock weird into NPC vendors. When somebody buys some, they restock in a separate pile in the inventory.
  
• You do not begin healing if poison left before finish curing, and vice versa (you don't begin curing when healing when poisoned in the middle of healing).

Unbiased Suggestions:

• The other magic fish should be made more useful, maybe even extend the length if nothing else.
  
• Make the new recipes actually useful? Stat boosts at least? I mean come on...
  
• Increase archery damage to promote the use of the third class in UO.
  
• Studded armor should be meditable (as it is now castable via fix), it's hardly an improve in AR, so we may as well give use to it, and a little more use to tailoring.
• Remove auction system if it isn't being properly used, leaving the barter as a standalone.
  
• Remove or fix hirelings and quest npcs, as they do not work.
  
• Unculled regs (harvested regs) should be stackable.
  
• Hops should be stackable.
  
• Cotton (harvested) should be stackable.
• Skinned rabbits should be stackable as they are now a resource.
  
• Decorating tool still isn't working yet.
  
• Change kyanite or obsidian colors, as they are the exact same.
  
• Change dark wood color to something more dark (not so close to oak).
  
• Increase selling prices for bowyer/fletching items (it was nerfed a long time ago, but the current prices are simply unfair, and worthless). Promote unique skill usage, not destroy it.
