Update Notes:
August 18, 2021
_____________________

- Corrected an issue where many Scars of Velious quest items were not flagged as usable in quests.
- Corrected a typo in the names of Cleaver of Vengeance and Endpoint, Greatbow of Vengeance Ornament.
- Rat Ears have been removed from all merchants.
- Updated the Misty Acorn to look like an acorn rather than a leaf.


*** Tradeskills ***
- Tradeskill Auto-combine will no longer stop randomly from lag.


*** Quests & Events ***
- Vulak`Aerr Raid (Sleeper's Tomb: The Call) - Fixed an issue that could cause the first instance of the auras on the central platform to appear at the same time as the message warning that they are about to appear. To help clarify, the messages are like this: The crystal over the central platform glows and sends power into the yellow crystal.
- Dream Master (Sanctus Somnium Raid) - Fixed an issue where the puzzle grid was not visible.
- Trial of Fire (Plane of Justice) - Added a speculative fix for an issue where this trial can fail to reset.

- NPCs that use Cazic Touch will no longer have numbers in their shout message when targeting mercenaries.


*** NPCs ***
- The weaker monsters in Heart of Fear will no longer drop valuable loot.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Findlewill in Meldrath's Majestic Mansion from respawning, though you still have to kill "a crew chief" to actually get him to respawn.


*** Overseer ***
- Overseer quests meant for the infamous Clockwork VIIX no longer insist that he really IS a Clockwork when in fact he is very much a Gnome.


*** Progression Servers ***
- Phinigel Autropos and Drusella Sathir are no longer susceptible to mesmerization.


*** Miscellaneous ***
- Added a new command to allow dismissing your swarm pets: /pet swarmleave.
- Corrected an issue where NPCs with low hatred for all their opponents would not always choose to attack a player that successfully used the taunt skill.
- Made a speculative fix to a crash caused by real estate in a character transfer.
- Corrected an issue that kept you in walk mode if your /follow target zoned.
- Entering offline trader mode will now disable the LFG and AFK flags.

*** UI ***
- Corrected an issue where NPCs couldn't be rotated in real estates.
