addedLootboxes have been updated!Adventurer's and Traveller's Steel-bound lootboxes contain new "Silent Hunter" cosmetic items including avatar cosmetics, a steed, and matching war-steed appearances, a Sitaka cosmetic pet, plus new housing items including a silent hunter tapestry and pelt. These items are also available on Myrtle Mint for Figments of Splendour. Adventurer's and Traveller's Steel-bound lootboxes also now contain Silent Hunter Cloaks, a Silent Hunter Mask, and Silent Hunter Garden Perch and Settee housing decorations, which are not available through Myrtle Mint.
removedClasses:Lore-master - Players are no longer able to use Bear taunts in six or twelve player Instances.
addedClasses:Several new instance rewards used in crafting recipes should now correctly be able to be placed into Crafting Carry-alls: Pieces of Petrified Driftwood, Iridescent Jets, Crackling Opals, Effervescent Moonstones, and Flaming Zircons.
changedClasses:Certain items, designed to catch players up to specific level cap content, will now grant reduced statistical bonuses once your character has advanced beyond the designed catch-up level. These items will remain available for use but apply a diminished statistical benefit at the level cap where experience or currency bonuses end: Shield of the Hammerhand, Earring of the Dead City, Empowering Earring of the High Elves, Focusing Earring of the High Elves, Weightless Earring of the High Elves, Fateful Gundabad Earring, Flowing Silver Stone, Flowing Silver Stone of the Tortoise, and Fleet Merchant's Earring.
fixedClasses:The Dagorlad Wastes Frame granting item received from the Legendary Items Reward Track Season 9 has been corrected so that it binds to account.
changedQuests and Adventure Areas:A number of skills and effects have had their damage tuned slightly - some up, but mostly down. Boss damage, especially from Ulanor and Rothog, was a bit higher than we'd like in the Tier 3 version of this instance.
