Test Update Notes: Friday April 28, 2023

ITEMIZATION

• Heroic Focus, from the Heroic Onslaught white adornment, now persists through death and updates more reliably from [Heroic III] boss kills.
• Di'Zok Minion's poisons have had a typo in their name corrected.
• Poppet's Rubber Ball of Ferocity - Item description spelling typo has been fixed.

MERCENARIES

• Corrected character owned mercenary exporting to census.

QUESTS

• Nothin' But Artifacts - There are now more faience amphorae, faience vases, and potsherd ostraca at any one time, and a higher chance they will spawn in areas populated with solo mobs in the Elddar Exchange.
• Kunark Ascending: Beyond the Veil - The unnecessary and confusing reward item named ""Obulus Frontier" Access" has been removed.
• Daily Desert: The Sacred Gift [Signature] - Quest journal text fix. Journal now correctly identifies the zone as "Buried Takish'Hiz".
• Restoration and Reclamation - There are now more shattered Elddar artifacts at any one time, and a higher chance they will spawn in areas populated with solo mobs in the Elddar Exchange.

TRADESKILLS

• Upper tier Artisan's Amalgamation recipes should now work as intended.
• Crafting multiples of the Druid Ring Betting Tiles or Tower Stacked Betting Tiles no longer tell you that you are making tileses, precious!
• The crafting instance for "Shipyard Services" now has a lockout timer of 90 minutes, to match the other Far Seas tradeskill mission instances.

ZONES AND POPULATION

• Buried Takish'Hiz: Empire of Antiquity [Contested]
  • Detrimental state effects (fear, stifle, etc.) cast by the new thifling solo boss encounters within The Elddar Exchange will no longer affect mercenaries.
  • Bulbrusk the Bulbuous' mushroom adds have reduced health as more are spawned throughout the encounter.
  • Creatures that spawn in the Chamber of Reviviscence have had their respawn timers extended.
  • Heroic blue and green shinies can now only be seen by the group that defeated the boss encounter that spawned them, should they meet other requirements for seeing them.
• Loping Plains
  • The Pumpkin Headed Horseman will no longer allow those not engaged with him to manipulate his pumpkins.
