Just a few changes...

The whole point of all these changes is to begin deviating the modpack away from everyones spectical "scape and run hardcore blah blah pack" I want to make it so it is possible to catch up, i want to make it so it is more fair than vanilla scape and run. 

Each change going forward will work on story/quests, rebalancing and experimentations with my own additions.

This is a personal project, feedback is very much welcome! - I am very new to all of this.
