Fixed pet Snail not expiring properly (being removed from inventory when the time's up).
Broadcasted code update for most of the missing portal sound effects for portal scripts. It is expected for all scripted portals now to play the sound effect when traversing it.
Fixed items such as Red Bean Porridge and Air Bubble from acting outside of their scopes (now Air Bubble acts only under water, for instance).
Fixed an exploit with expirable quests when accessing the cash shop, that would make them "unexpirable".
Tweaked storages, now showing up popup warnings to players under level 15 instead of using the chat text area.
Removed "One-of-a-kind" tag from Lilin's Ring (caused conflicts with the Agent E custom script).
Added a few more scrolls to Spindle's shop.
Implemented several minor drop data adjustments.
Improved Alliance invitations now using "invite popups" just like buddy, party and guild invites.
Pet autopot now properly uses up pots from the inventory, fetching from other inventory slots when one place has been completely used up but the "stop criteria" hasn't been fulfilled yet.
Pet autopot now properly detects pots with healing factor defined by the character's pool.
Fixed old exploit with mineral/jewel crafters.
Patched Doorway's questlines.
