Update 43.0.1 Release Notes
Here are the Release Notes for Update 43.0.1, released on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
A client crash related to Deed acceleration has been fixed.
This year's Spring Festival begins March 13th and runs through April 1st! This year's new festival rewards include Budding Spring character cosmetics, a goat steed, housing decorations, and a cosmetic pet!
The Hobby Master and the Birding Guide will now properly list the new regions to discover birds in.
Birding will no longer produce any rewards in the Khud Zagin territory.
Raid: Temple of Utug-bur:
Dhorguth
Updated some visuals in the second boss encounter, and text warning time has been adjusted.
Thûr Hin
An issue that could cause Legolas to be prematurely healed fully has been corrected.
Legolas' second healing phase objective will now properly update and complete.
NOTE: Temple of Utug-bûr: Thûr Hin quests will version upon release.
Thresh the Chaff no longer applies an errant second damaging hit.
Whisper of Blood protection applies to pets.
Inner Sanctum
Encounter 1, Azagath will now display the effect Reducing Incoming Damage.
Encounter 1, Azagath's Aspects should more readily use their ranged skills without leaving their current target.
The assault encounter now correctly allows sorcerers and sages to remain at range for many of their skills, rather than forcing them to run into the fray.
Encounter 2 stage 1, Sagush and Thahar are now more reliably using their ranged skills without trying to move toward their targets before skill execution.
Encounter 2 stage 1 and 2, Vortexes and Storms should now more accurately use their skills and deal their damage without the need to enter combat.
Encounter 2 stage 1, Glorfindel's skill is now removed when the 'elf-stone shatters.'
Encounter 2 stage 2, Gandalf's skill now applies to all players in the raid space when executed.
Encounter 2 stage 2, Gandalf's skill is now removed correctly by Garash's skill purge hope.
Encounter 2 stage 2, on resets, summoned nodules, blisters, vortices, and storms should more readily remove themselves from the battle.
Encounter 2 stage 2, on resets there should be a longer period of time allowing players to retreat from the battle.
Added a call at the beginning of Encounter one to let players know that Azagath Sea-shadow is becoming active.
Added callout events for Garash to alert players when he us summoning in Storms.
Added callouts to the storms to alert players that deadly (split-damage) hits are inbound from the Umbral and Plague Storms.
Updated the instance to allow for players to retreat from combat over a longer period of time in the second encounter. There was an errant setting causing some issues with timing.
Sagush and Thahar mitigation-reducing skills now apply more consistently (Plagued and Bound by Shadow).
Both of the above debuffs no longer tier down. For Middle Earth! skill targets have been increased from 3 to 8. Glorfindel's Aid targets have been increased so it more reliably hits blisters (still has fewer targets on higher tiers).
There was an issue with the reset on the fight in the final stage of Wing 3 causing an eternal teleport condition. This has been fixed.
Adjusted the visual effects cue on Legolas' elf-stone shards in the final boss fight of Wing 3 to be more distinct from Glorfindel and Ganadalf's skills.
The following 3 and 6 person instances will now reset skills following a wipe on a boss.
Corsairs of Umbar
"The Isle of Storms"
"Depths of Mâkhda Khorbo"
"The Streets
