MENTORING

• Increased mentoring xp bonus given when mentoring another player.
• The experience bonus for having players mentor you adds the percentage displayed in the tooltip rather than modifying the base experience from killing a monster.

USER INTERFACE

• Dynamic icons on the world navigation map will now continue to update after reloading the UI.
• Fixed an error in the maintained window causing an icon to become stretched.
• UI Modders can now disable the snapping behavior of the XP bar by setting the “EnableSnapping” property to false.

TRAVEL

• All bell travel should now have an option to enter Freeport or Qeynos directly depending on your alliance.

ITEMS

• Mastercrafted items that are actually better than Mastercrafted will now say so (such as MASTERCRAFTED LEGENDARY or MASTERCRAFTED FABLED).
• (Fan Faire request!) City Tokens are now also worth status. Guildhall Commodities Exporters and Sanya the General Goods merchant at City Festivals will now pay 250 status points for them, if you don’t wish to use them to purchase festival goods.
• The five mounts that were missing from the mount merchants have been returned.
• The following mounts now move at +25% movement speed: Gorowyn Destrier, New Halasian Courser, Kelethin Courser, and Neriak Destrier.
• The Skyblade Skiff received by platinum fan faire attendees is now claimable one per character instead of one per account.

PVP ITEMS

• Kinetic Barrier, Elemental Barrier, Combat Expertise, Suppressed Rage, Free Movement and Reflection should no longer send error messages to the chat log during PVE Combat.

QUESTS

• New Halas Citizens with the quest "A Final Froglok Word" will now find they can continue conversing with Lady Erillis and complete the quest.
• Recipes for the new Steamfont tradeskill quest line now require the appropriate level of fuel.
• Darklight Wood: You can now defeat ghoulish Nerian to update your quest.

PALACE OF ROEHN THEER

• Pets should no longer trigger retributive effects when fighting the sages Mandoril, Medorius and Mikla.
• Zone in should only zone the individual player instead of the entire raid.

GREATER FAYDARK

• All instances of "Amythest Pond" have now been corrected to "Amethyst Pond" in Greater Faydark.

ICY KEEP: RETRIBUTION

• Kastus & Odaufe should no longer one shot players with their respective frostbite damage shields. It is still recommended players not hit them with the wrong damage type however as they can still easily kill players with them.
• Kastus & Odaufe should no longer regain their damage shields if not killed quickly enough after being hit with the ice axe.
