Silvest / Early game improvements

[davidjreese]

• [ ] Iron Smelting/Forging: When leveling up the skill, it isn't showing which is leveled up. All it says is "You are now level x in your iron skill!" for both
• [ ] All Areas: Improve respawn rate and add a few more monsters to spawn. Bees and goblins are really low
• [x] Caves: When it's sunny out, it's also sunny in the cave
• [x] Drops: Whenever I get a healing potion drop from Goblins, I get 20-30
• [ ] Gathering Tradeskill Exp: Exp gain is way too inconsistent. My fails for mining (level 20 boosted) gives me 4 exp on fail while LJ (level 10 base) gives me 8 exp gain. At the same time, I gain I really don't think this is intended at all. I also see gaining so little exp between successful mining and LJ hits
• [x] Frame Drops/Lag: Unsure how to repro this...Whenever I enter near the Silvest Bank/Tavern area (possibly multiple times?), I get extreme frame drops when I'm around the area

From an earlier thought regarding tradeskill exp with some number changes, all subject to change as this is just a concept:

(-) Up success rate significantly at lower levels and gradually increase it as it gets higher but make it more uniform in exp gain. Comparing to tradeskills on AE, it's a flat rate regardless of success or fail but increases with how many material is needed for it Example of exp per level and material used/gained (spitballing numbers):

• Success/fail at 1 material = 5 + (2 * skill level)
• Success/fail at 2-4 material = (5 + (2 skill level)) (0.9 * material)
• Success/fail at 5-8 material = (5 + (2 skill level)) (0.8 * material)
• Success/fail at 9-x material = (5 + (2 skill level)) (0.7 * material) (-) Example yield/return for level thresholds:
• Level 0-10 - Random(1,2)
• Level 10-15 - Random(1,3)
• Level 15-25 - Random(1,4)
• Level 25-40 - Random(2,4)
• Level 40-60 - Random(2,5)
• Level 60+ - Random(x,x) or something along these lines...tradeskillers need more incentives to actually want to tradeskill (-) When and if these changes are made, keep them as uniform as possible within reason. What I mean by this is if certain items are more readily available (logs and ore), give them slightly less exp for yield and return, then vice versa (ie. if it takes awhile to mill flour for baking, give them a bit more exp)

@hgesler and @Dev-Tyrant - i fixed some of these items and a bunch of other items related to the quests that pat found. The stuff left here looks like you should have a look at it.
