(smelting)
The more wear and tear on an item, the less ingots it will return.
Items purchased from an NPC will yield only one ingot when smelted.
Smelting dyeable kite shields will return regular ingots regardless of the color of the ingots used to make the shield.
# Use scissors on clothing or leather armor to get the cloth or leather.
# The amount of cloth or leather yielded is tied to the tailoring skill. The higher your skill in tailoring, the more cloth/leather you will get.
Potions can be crafted directly in the keg if there are no bottles in the alchemist’s backpack.
* After you begin to make a potion you will be given a targeting cursor.
* Clicking on the potion keg will add one potion.
Looks like it was part of the sep 22, 1999 patch also.

Selecting Co-owners
[color=#FFFF00] * Other characters on the same account as the house owner will be treated as co-owners unless:
o They are already an owner or co-owner of another house. [/color]
* [color=#FFFF00]You may select up to eight characters to be co-owners:
o A co-owner may not be the owner of a house.
o A co-owner may not be a co-owner of another house.[/color]
[color=#FFFF00]Co-owners can also place one secure container, called a "strongbox[/color]". Masks/Sandals/Etc should take damage and break.
Blessed clothing can still take damage (from maces for example).
I also want to question whether or not keys, on rings should be usable while locked down, and state that there is no way these things (or any item for that matter) should be locked down on a porch, simply because the height is altered.
If people could lock usable keys on their porches, they would have, and yeah, they would have found a way, there were literally dozens of lock-down exploits in era, so I am sure every outlet was exhausted. I don't recall seeing this in t2a at all, (but im sure someone will say they have been doing it since bete
)
