Update Notes:
August 21, 2024
_____________________
*** Items ***
- Changed the icons of some gem items to match the color specified in the item's name.
- Inner Turmoil (Raid) - Fixed the 'Destroy the rubbish' effect on the Trash item. The cast and recast times were removed and the number of charges has been set to 1.
- Daily hotzone quest rewards for levels 100 and 105 now have stats and sockets.


*** Quests & Events ***
- Altered the way rares spawn in the Dranik Sewers, Catacombs, and Hollows instances. After killing a number of NPCs in the zone, the chance for the rare to spawn will be activated. They will not spawn 100% of the time, but their chance to spawn has been increased.
- Altered the way that Xenevorash spawns and activates so it will now be loot-locked.
- Missions from The Burning Lands that take place in Plane of Fire will no longer send corpses to the graveyard.
- Added a calendar event that highlights when the Extra Life bonus period will happen.
- Final Fugue (Raid) - The Tertiary Echo will now break Margator out of his spin and break his speed increase. This means that the 'Speed Limit' achievement can be achieved using this method.
- The following achievements have been restored as the underlying quests have been fixed:
- - The Hero's Journey - Surefall Glade Quests - Gnoll Paws
- - The Hero's Journey - Ak'Anon Quests - Tinmizer's Fabulous Compactor


*** Spells ***
- Shrink spells will no longer cause pets to grow if they are already smaller than the new spell would make them.
- Spells that triggercast the highest rank of another spell should no longer consume an extra Frenzied Devastation counter.


*** Miscellaneous ***
- Added the item quantity, item name, and sender's name to the chat message when receiving a parcel delivery.
- Auras will no longer cast shadows.
- Improved zone server performance to reduce lag spikes during raid wins.
- Reduced world server lag during raid events.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Expansion column on the Server Select screen to be blank for servers with Laurion's Song unlocked.
- Fixed an issue where attempting to enter a house or guild hall would send you to a different neighborhood.


*** UI ***
- Added a minimum height to the Task Selection window's list of offered tasks.
- Added commas to the DoN currency, coin, and Alternate Currency quantities in the Inventory window.
- Adjusted the default column widths of the Alternate Currency list in the Inventory window.

- Changed -
EQUI_BlockedBuffWnd.xml

*** Previously Updated ***
- In-game window positions should be as expected when launching the game, for the first time, with a maximized desktop window.
- Fixed an issue that was causing display device reset failures with a fullscreen window.
- Made a speculative fix to correct the game window's rendering resolution.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the client from opening a fullscreen mode window.
