• Greater Faydark - Adventurers on the quest “treant tactics” will find twice as many Crushbone tents spawning near Kelethin Outer Stump.

• The quest “The Haunting” can now be accepted once a day (18 hours) from the Gigglegibber Scalper.

ITEMS

• Proc effects from set bonuses that were flagged as “cannot be modified by direct means” and “cannot crit” will now properly not be modified and properly not crit.
• Greater Faydark - The “magical fae forge” is now bigger, automatically when set down in a house.

Notes are not final until the update goes live, and are therefore subject to change.
