[Offical Forums]

GENERAL

• Many instances from Deserts of Flame and Kingdom of Sky are now persistent.

ITEMS

• The Monstrous Stud of Might now procs Rancorous Ire.
• The Glowing Rune Covered Tome of Sorrow now additionally has Manawell III and is usable by Priests.
• The Sublime Cestus has had its proc changed from Rancorous Ire to Scornful Presence II.

LON ITEMS

• The Legends of Norrath item “Bottled Breath” should no longer affect the reuse timers of other healing abilities or potions.

PVP QUESTS

• Learning the Path should now update correctly when completing a PvP Writ.

UNDERFOOT DEPTHS

• Energized Taehric Construct (Challenge Mode): Players now have more time to kill the animated taehric energies before they are absorbed by the construct.
• Vaclaz Released (Challenge mode): Energy clash will only affect at most 6 players every time it goes off, and it cannot be triggered more than once per 20 secs even if Vaclaz and one of his essences have the same target for an extended period of time.
• Horraastaas : Players on fire as well as those not on fire doing damage to Horraastaas will now generate less fungal spores than before.
• Horraastaas : Players do not have to wait as long once Flames of the Pyre dies off before being able to immolate themselves again.

THE HOLE: DEMITRIK’S BASTION

• The roekillik sisters “Tiriini and Shirinu” should now only summon one protector per summoning spell if not slain before spell finishes. One sister summoning two protectors should no longer occur.

ICY KEEP: RETRIBUTION

• Respawn points within the zone have been reworked. Players should now be able to revive a bit closer to where they died.
• Normal Mode Vrewwx should more reliably cast his Ice Dragon Freeze spell on those who it should be cast on. Be aware, this means more players will likely get frozen! You might not want to be standing toe to toe with him when he casts this spell!
• Normal Mode Vrewwx should no longer knock players who are frozen up in the air.
• The Flythrough for either mode of Vrewwx should only play the first time players speak with Vrewwx.
• Players who have completed the quest “Knocked Out Cold” should now be able to open the main keep door regardless of whether or not they have killed the previous named to unlock the door. This also applies to a new instance.
