  • Player Studio Items will be live on December 13th! Check the Marketplace then to see what's new!
  • Fixed an issue that was causing the Small Bright Fear Shards in Shard's Landing to become unavailable over time. These shards will also spawn more frequently.

Items
  • Player Studio Items will be live on December 13th! Check the Marketplace then to see what's new!
  • New hats have arrived in celebration of Frostfell! Adventurers with the Hero's Forge feature can now wear a variety of hat ornamentations that have a chance to drop from all mobs in non-raid zones.

  • Several missing spells have been located and returned to their items.
  • Corrected several item naming errors.


Quests & Events
  • Subdued Subjects - Luring a subdued spinechiller to Veldmir should now properly update the task, regardless of whether you have brought him a subdued orc already.
  • Shard Experiences - Chunks of Alaran Flesh will now be available from the intended NPCs.

  • Coveted Rubbish - Selya should now respond correctly when approached about its obsession.


Spells
  • Cleric - Corrected the spell landed message of Symbol of Gezat.

NPC
  • Magus Burlshin has solved his quandary of duality and will only appear in Shard's Landing now.
  • The imposter drolvarg captain commonly seen in Karnor's Castle has been demoted to lieutenant. The real captain was not pleased with his subordinates taking his title.
  • Corrected grammar errors in Breeding Grounds, Crystal Caverns: Fragment of Fear, the Valley of King Xorbb, Kael Drakkel: The King's Madness, Shard's Landing, and East Wastes: Zeixshi-Kar's Awakening.
  • Mobs in Rain of Fear that con as "easy" no longer reject all slow spells, which will now allow spells with a slowing component to land. However, ninety-nine percent of the slowing component will be mitigated.

Achievements
  • Corrected an error that granted a blank achievement upon logging in to the game.


Collections
  • Collection items should no longer spawn in positions that lure you into portals. Offending spawns have been punished for their treachery.


Miscellaneous
  • Fixed some issues related to memory handling. Crashing after zoning multiple times in a play session should be less frequent now.

  • Optimized a processing and memory issue with the Pet Info window.

  • Fixed a mercenary leveling issue. You should no longer have to zone to get your mercenary to use its proper focus items after you have just leveled up.
  • Fixed an issue with the AA slider and the new Rain of Fear-style rewards. You will now receive all of the level experience that is intended even if the AA allocation is set to 100 percent.
