April 15, 2020
*** Highlights ***
- Shadowknight - Your Damage over Time spells at or above level 71 have been adjusted so that they no longer stack with themselves, but now do more damage and cost more mana.
- NPCs (except for mercenaries) now display all 97 of their buffs and debuffs in the target window
*** Items ***
- Hidden augments will no longer block tradeskill combines or reward set claims. This fixes two issues: First, the Burning Lands evolving items with purity have hidden augments for the power source, and these would block the upgrade rewards. Second, some classes had hidden augments in the Underfoot Prayer shawl, preventing the combine to upgrade.
- All standard collectible items have been flagged Attunable.
- Increased the effectiveness and reduced the recast time of Fancy Feast and Mom's Love.
- Reduced the price of Crystallized Luck on the loyalty merchants.
- Fixed an issue where Torment of Velious necklaces didn't grant the AAs or the phantom buff.
- Fixed the lore text on several items that had "&CHAR(34)&" instead of a double quote.
- Removed the Tradeskill flag from Restless Giant Skull.
- Created Tempus Faycite Shard: Heron Stance and placed it with other melee augments on Peret Mykland in Eastern Wastes (Torment of Velious).
- Fixed the spell description on Guardian's Bravery on Gladiator's Plate Chestguard of War.
*** Tradeskills ***
- When using a Draught of the Craftsman or other effect that increases your salvage chance to 100% or greater, you can no longer receive an 'unexpected product' upon failure; however it is still possible to receive an 'alternate product' upon failure.
- Removed the Quest flag from the Torment of Velious tradeskill books.
- Added the Tradeskill flag to: Fermented Restless Bone Marrow, Marrow Hardened Etching Tool, Powdered Velium and Platinum, Velium and Platinum Filter, Filtered Velium and Platinum, Velium and Platinum with Wood Primer, Dried Velium and Platinum, Desiccated Velium and Platinum, Purified Velium-Platinum Bar, and Anointed Purified Velium-Platinum Bar.
- Altered Talem Tucter's text so that he tells players to speak with Loremaster Solstrin to continue the shawl quest line.
*** Quests And Events ***

- A Formal Dinner Party - Capped the scaling of the mission to level 110.
- Seeking the Sorcerer (Mission) - The mission is now restricted to a maximum of six characters.

- - Heart of Frozen Shadow - The limitation on killing type of monsters (10 specters and 25 drolvargs / skeletons) to reduce the Heart of Frozen Shadow's health is now being enforced correctly.
