[+] Squeal of Fortune Changes

- Uzi has been looking into ideas to liven the Squeal of Fortune a little bit. There's still ways to go, and it's still early days but this is what he thought of!
- Whenever an Elite skilling set (Golem, Camouflage, Trapper, Gorajan, etc..) is rotated into the Squeal of Fortune, relevant Animation boxes for that Skill will be also.
- So as the current rotation is the elite Mining set, Magic Golem, you can now temporarily receive: Headbutt, Chi-blast, Blast & Strongarm Mining animation overrides! Also, claiming the box will give you $2 towards your Donation total.
- Squeal of Fortune is something we'll be editing a lot in the near future.. Tired of seeing shit stuff on it.. Amirite. 

[+] Skilling Teleports

- Each teleport obviously has many more options within.. New ones include: 
- Prifddinas Fishing Area, Mining Guild, Desert Quarry, Rune essence mine, Prifddinas ore mine, Prifddinas Seren stones.. Best of all, Farming now contains EVERY Patch you'll need.. 
- This should help new players navigate the map in search for the best experience rates! Enjoy, thanks to E36 and Lare for their awesome efforts here.

[+] Skilling Contracts

- Get rewarded every time you complete one (and achievements!)

[+] Decimation, Obliteration & Annihilation

- Decimation, Obliteration & Annihilation now all degrade to Dust
- You can no longer use the Decimation special attack on a regular Decimation weapon
- You can now use the Imbued gear from Hazelmere at ;;market to Imbue them
- This makes the weapon Imbued, giving it bonus accuracy & strength as well as allowing you to repair the item
- This also allows you to use the Decimation special attack
- The imbued versions are untradeable, meaning if you'd like the extra bonuses, repair ability & special attack, you must imbue it.

[+] Bug Fixes

- Nex instances and the issue with Nex spawning twice should be fixed
- Soul Siphoner now properly heals 25% more.. Instead of doing 25% more damage.. Oops.
- Hopefully fixed the Deadlock null (everything stops working within instancing). Arham nailed this down to an issue with performance in Dungeoneering. It should now be fixed.
- ;;itemdrop is now functional
- Helwyr will now work for the Trivia question: "Name one of the Heart of Gielinor bosses"
- Araxxor pets... Have been fixed.
- Fix to Lottery only giving free Investor bets
