So we've been doing heading wrong all these years. You will need to run
a script to fix your quests and required SQL to fix DB.
This fixes a ton of random issues with headings and as gives us a better
resolution on headings :P
NPCs were setting a singular chance value and each item was checking based on this value, making the probability field not a random chance per item.
This removes the probability field from NPCs, SetMerchantProbability() and GetMerchantProbability() and makes the probability field truly random chance.
Special thanks to ChaosSlayerZ for noticing the issue here: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41731

Stages should be put in place if not already:

Values stored in the database are 0-6000, previously we capped it at 6000 but previous math would have normal values in the 60k+ range in order for food to be consumed at a reasonable rate. We are now using more native logic where 1 = 1 minute, following logic:
(Minutes)
0 - 5 - This is a snack.
6 - 20 - This is a meal.
21 - 30 - This is a hearty meal.
31 - 40 - This is a banquet size meal.
41 - 50 - This meal is a feast!
51 - 60 - This is an enduring meal!
61 - X - This is a miraculous meal!
Raid/Group Mana/Endurance updates should now update real-time once again
Fixed an issue with clients looking like they are 'skipping' when they are moving in view of another client
Fixed an issue with NPC's who are ghosted in plain view of a client when they are not really there
Client updates nearby clients more often because they will disappear after 10 seconds without a position update to the client
This results in a massive reduction in unnecessary traffic as we only update clients of their relevance around them
This also resembles live-like packet sending behavior of positions
