Removed the deprecated Item.buyPrice and Item.sellPrice fields.
Removed the deprecated Weapon.sharpness field.
Removed the slug fields from all entities that had a slug. Please note that this was not a documented deprecation, but was a necessary change to support the user contribution system.
Notes
This release has been a long time coming. Monster data is one of the most commonly requested features, and this update will finally bring support for them to the API. It's important to note that I say "support", as ailments, locations, and monsters will be the first endpoints to rely solely on user contributed data as opposed to the scraping system that the API has used in the past.
To begin with, contributions will only be allowed from a select few users that I'll be manually inviting to the contribution system. I'd eventually like to open contributions up to anyone that uses the API (similar to how a wiki allows edits from any user), but there's more work to be done before I feel comfortable opening things up that much. If you're interested in helping out with contributions of your own, feel free to reach out to me at tyler@lartonoix.com.
For now, once this release goes live, I'll be adding data for ailments, locations, and monsters myself, to ensure that all the data is available. From there, we'll begin going back through the other endpoints and correcting inaccurate information and adding any missing information (like some of the new weapons added since the Kulve Taroth update).
