Update Notes:
February 12, 2025
_____________________
*** Items ***
- Fixed an issue that was preventing augments acquired from Tides of Time from socketing into items they otherwise should have.
- Fixed an unintentional error that stripped the spell from the item Spell: Teleport.
- Adjusted chest drops in The Outer Brood missions to include a wider variety of type 5 augments.
- The Outer Brood weapon damage augments should no longer have decreasing stats after converting to their Reactive or Harmonious versions.
- Argent Whirligig Flyer Control Device should now have a levitation effect.
- Acolyte's Assaulting Fire, Casting Fire, and Defending Fire of the Harbinger augments have received spell damage increases.
- Updated most familiar-summoning items to also cast pet illusions.
- Arrows equipped in the ammo slot that are unusable by the character are no longer effective and the character is out of ammo.
- Merchants now include deity restrictions when you ask them to 'show only items I can use'.
- Archetype - Sympathetic Amplification - Several spell-triggered magical effects from equipped weapons and augments were missed in the initial introduction of this AA. They've now been updated to both receive the benefits of this AA and no longer trigger from other proc effects or twincast.
- Adjusted the luck range of newly created group and raid tradeskill items from The Outer Brood.
- The Modified Aureate Spanner's Perform "Maintenance" description now displays without error.


*** Tradeskills ***
- Improved the performance of the Tradeskill Depot.


*** Quests & Events ***
- Tides of Time: Players can no longer place a banner or campfire in the tower.
- Tides of Time: Miacallie Herlsas and the clockwork artificer now only spawn during the Anniversary event.
- Tides of Time: The repaired keys and clockwork artificer now only offer their tasks during the Anniversary event.
- Year of Darkpaw collections now run as part of the Anniversary event.
- Tides of Time: The tower key quests are now offered during the Anniversary event.
- Theater of Eternity quests The Bigger the Door and We Have to Go Back! have changed how their items are dropped and who can loot them. Now they will drop if anyone in the group (and in the zone) that gets the kill credit is on the task and has the item needed for the step (Attuned Crystal Vial or Empty Aureate Supply Pouch). Also, only a person with the required item can loot the items for the quest.
- Reduced the damage on the spells cast by most rare/named NPCs in The Outer Brood. Many were cut in half or more. A few had their durations reduced. Even fewer were altered so that their effects would work (mostly changed from instant to having a duration so effects like movement slow could have time to work). Over all, the spell damage output from these NPCs will be a lot lower.
- The Control Room mission reset is better now. The mystic will return on reset, along with the pillars.
- Purification and penance in the High Priest mission in The Outer Brood will no longer give experience for evolving items.
- Chasing What's Not Real: Can now be run during the Anniversary event.
- Chasing Madness: Can now be run during the Anniversary event.
- Reflections of You: Can now be run during the Anniversary event.
- Inner Turmoil: Can now be run during the Anniversary event.


*** Spells ***
- You will now automatically dismount when changing personas.
- Improved the effectiveness of all Convergence spells from The Outer Brood.
- Magician: Corrected the Grant Ring of Perfected Levitation spell to summon an item with 6 charges of a 30 minute duration spell and renamed it to Improved Levitation. Sorry, nobody's perfect.


*** AA ***
- Fixed a bug where AAs that should be shared between personas weren't always sharing.
- Enchanter - Updated the Class AA, Eldritch Rune, with 3 new ranks available at levels 121-125, increasing max damage absorption to 490k at max rank.
- Enchanter - Updated the Class AA, Glyph Spray, with 3 new ranks available at levels 121-125, increasing max spell and DoT damage absorption to 175k and max DoT damage absorption per hit to 13.5k at max rank.

- Enchanter - Updated the Class AA, Veil of Mindshadow, ranks 29-32 and added 2 new ranks available at levels 122 and 125, increasing max melee damage absorption to 464k at max rank.


*** Overseer ***
- Changed the order of the Laurion's Song Overseer collection reward items.
- Added Laurion's Song tradeskill components to the Overseer rewards.


*** Progression Servers ***
- Evolving Server Ruleset Skill Bonus now works as intended.
- Vaniki now uses the originally intended new spell resist system.

- - CTRL+ALT will search using the Find Item window.
- - SHIFT+CTRL will search using the Bazaar Search window.
- - SHIFT+ALT will search using the Barter Search window.
- Hotbuttons that link to an item that moved between a key ring and the inventory will find the item if it still exists.
- Updated cursor item links from Key Rings to be able to be auto equipped or used to start a trade.
- When a single targeted buff fails due to being blocked by a target player or player pet, a message will now display saying so.
- Fixed an issue that prevented chat tell windows' operations after too many were opened.
