Need Help/explanations Of Everything New From The Past Year

I'm trying to get back into playing Wynncraft. only problem is, last time I actually played was over a 12+ months ago. Over the period it seems as many game changing events has happened (I heard Gavel finally got released?) and I need help with what is new and how to catch up. I used to play somewhat regularly with a lvl 49 Mage as my main but now have no idea. I'll name off a few main questions that I'm wondering.

1: Whats with these different skill points? it seems like they changed it heavily.

2: Did the increase the end game level cap at all and go past Bob as being the final boss?

3: Any general/new features I should be aware of?

The date of which I last played is based off of what features I remember having after going through the changelog. The last time I actually played was in the month of August, 2014 IIRC. As I remember having the Assassin become free to all, going through the zombie dungeon then stopping.

Any help is appreciated, I desperately need it.

 

Going over the wiki should be a good place to start. Other than that just ask people who know there stuff. That's all the help I can provide, so good luck.

 

Ill let other ppl awnser the other stuff. Bob is not the hardest boss anymore its qira and the new level cap is 100

 

1. Skill points got a massive revamp, with the new addition of elements. Elements were part of the complete revamp of the entire item system.
Earth goes with strength. Attacks will hit harder, but less often. It also lowers spell damage.
Fire goes with Defense. This means more health, and is pretty straight forward.
Water goes with Intelligence. Water is all about spells. More mana regen, mana steal, spell damage, etc.
Thunder goes with Dexterity. Faster weapons with more random damage (it might be 1-200 damage).
Air goes with Agility. Faster weapons with less damage per hit. It should be noted that spells do take speed into effect, which means fast weapons deal more spell damage.
The best part of these is that they're totally customizable. You can make a water air Mage, earth fire warrior, etc. Elements are also the reason why its highly recommended to start from Lvl 1. (Seriously. Some people didn't obey this warning and the forums got swamped with compliant threads, because it was so complex for them. Starting from Lvl 1 removes this confusion)
2. The Lvl cap is now 100, and the new best boss is Qira from a quest similar to ToA.
3. There's a custom texture pack that is required. The game won't make sense without it. Gavel will take a little while to get used to. We all had to go threw the learning stage too.

Oh, and the quests are a TON better.

tl;dr
1- the game is still the same, just do quests and fight mobs
2- life steal and regen nerfed, potion boosted, beware
3- gavel comes out, check the map and wiki for guidelines
