*** Items ***
- Fixed a bug that prevented the zonewide rare drops in Harbingers' Spire and The Bloodfields from dropping from non-rare NPCs in those zones.
- Wooden Wand of Whispers is now usable by healers and casters.
- Updated the spell description for Erollisi's Boundless Heart Hare, Erollisi's Trueheart Hare, and Erollisi's Proudheart Hare.
- Changed the way procs on items work to reduce the number of spells used.
- Look to the Marketplace this month for the Trollish Heritage Crate. Each crate contains a random item. Trade these Trollish Heritage items to your friends or collect them all yourself!


*** Quests And Events ***
- Return artifacts to the Wraithguard quests - The skeletal spirits that can spawn upon the deaths of zombies in Frostcrypt are now unique and will despawn after 30 minutes.
- Mechamatic Whirlrender (Raid and Group) - Made the following changes:
- - Removed the tether from the boss to prevent situations where the boss could regenerate to full health when switching phases.
- - Added a message when an NPC tethers.
- Unfettered Emerald Excellence - Made the following changes:
- - Fixed the bug that caused raid achievements to always be rewarded.
- - Doubled the time in-between the zonewide auras' pulses and doubled the impact of their effects.
- - Waves of mephits will no longer spawn at the same moment that it's necessary to flee to the correctly colored wing to avoid being struck by Elemental Incompatibility.
- - Added a chat message when a wave of mephits spawns.


*** Spells ***
- Fixed the bug that would result in a caster's spells not being focused after taking a resurrection.
- Accepting a resurrection will now break charm.
- Call of the Hero will now break charm.
- Beneficial spells with a dispel component cast by players will no longer land on pets or mercenaries unless the target belongs to you or a member of your group.
- Berserker - Corrected an issue that prevented Temple Chop Rk. III from being cast in combat as intended.


*** NPCs ***
- Restored some missing rare spawns in The Bloodfields.
- Fang, a rare in Dranik's Scar, will now drop loot.


*** Collections ***
- Made the following changes to ground spawn collectibles in Trials of Smoke, Stratos, Aalishai, Empyr, Esianti, and Mearatas:

*** UI ***
- When linking a list of items from the loot window into chat, messages that do not fit on a single line will now be output to the channel specified by the pending message.
- - Ex: If your default chat channel is 'say' and you have queued up the text '/ooc The following items have dropped: ...', the item links will be output to the out of character channel rather than the say channel if they do not all fit in one line.
- Corrected an issue where not having a hitpoints, mana, or endurance gauge in the Player Window caused a crash.

- Mana in the player window will now display the correct percentage.

- Added a message if you try to invite someone to a task or dynamic zone, but you aren't a member of one, or you aren't the leader.
- When creating a new chat tab or window, the font size of the currently selected tab/window will apply to the new one.
- When 'Use Tell Windows' is enabled, receiving a tell that creates a new chat tab will no longer interrupt your response when typing a reply in that tell window.
- Disabled the UI option to toggle Hardware Vertex Shaders / Software Vertex Shaders.
- - This will still be supported through the eqclient INI, with the VertexShaders option under the 'Defaults' section.
