News and Notes:

Bug Fixes:

  • A previous change to the cooldown of skills that was released in Update 57 has now been reverted. Skills should now trigger as they did prior to the release of Update 57.
  • The Class Level Hit Point bonus granted by Heroic Durability and various combat styles is no longer improperly flagged as an Insight bonus, and should now stack with everything.
  • Corrected an issue that could cause a player's Creature Companion stable to not appear correctly. Any players who experienced missing stables recently should now have their proper stables returned.
  • Hardcore Season Mounts will no longer display a specific number on their decorative elements. This had been inconsistent season to season, and we will now standardize this as the intent with Mounts going forward.
  • Wish for Memories potions now function properly for half elves and humans.
  • Enhancements that add ability modifier options to your weapons, such as Sacred Fist's "Divine Dream" or Falconry's "Killer Instinct", no longer erroneously overwrite each other.
  • Humans from the Grip of the Hidden Hand adventure pack now properly count as Humans in the Monster Manual instead of Sahaugin.
  • Some missing Harpies have now been added to the Monster Manual.
  • Missing creatures from the quests "Killing Time", "Under the Cover of Darkness", and "Eye Know Who Dunnit" have now been added to their appropriate Monster Manuals.
  • Corrected a data error in the Monster Manual for Skeletal Sharpshooter.
  • Embodiment of Law and Harbinger of Chaos' Imbue Dice no longer drop on death.
  • Hunter's Mark no longer puts stances on cooldown.
  • Second Wind now properly works even if you have Deathward.
  • The ability restoration benefit of Panacea now works on undead.
  • Wrathful Weapons now has its proper tooltip.
  • The Core 1 toggle for Tiefling and Tiefling Scoundrel now works correctly.
  • Warsoul's Fires of Fury now properly toggles on.

Quests and Adventure Areas:

  • Order in the Court! - A named loot chest now appears after completing all three Trial optional objectives as originally intended. This chest had been erroneously appearing after finding all nine clues. Finding all nine clues now awards an additional optional chest.
  • Growing Pains - Pumpkin breakables are no longer stuck slightly under the ground, preventing them from being broken.
  • Army of Eternal Night - A lever has been added to help players and prevent the quest from being unable to be completed in certain situations outside of a trapped corridor.
  • Army of Eternal Night - Skeletons will now properly drop collectibles instead of empty bags.
  • Undead throughout the Grip of the Hidden Hand adventure pack now properly take damage from positive energy.

Other Changes:

  • The magic of Festivult has again changed the effects of some cookies and cakes!
  • Hardcore Season mounts will no longer display a specific number on their decorative elements moving forward. Existing Hardcore season mounts currently retain their numbers if they have them. The Hardcore 7 mount is the exact same mount as in Season 2. Players who earned the Hardcore Season 2 mount do not benefit from acquiring the Season 7 mount.
