1.123B LIVE PATCH NOTES

Highlights

  • Realm Point “worth” timers have been reduced for /released players!
  • Daily quests have been streamlined and improved!
  • The Hidden Lair instance is here for levels 35-39 players!
  • Several bug fixes and class changes!

Realm vs Realm


  • The “Realm Point worth” timer has been adjusted as follows:
    • Players who are killed in RvR and /release will take 2 minutes to be worth full realm points now.
    • Players who are killed in RvR and resurrected by their realm-mates will still take 5 minutes to be worth full realm points.
  • Players eligible to /recall to Keep Lords will no longer have to interact with the lord again after the keep level upgrades to maintain their recall status.

World


Quests
  • A rebellion has risen amongst the Picts! Seek out Kenneth MacAlpin in Camelot, Jordheim, and Tir na Nog to hear his plea for help against the Pict Warlord Columba!
    • A new instance boss is now permanently available!
      • This instance is available to players between levels 35 and 39.
      • Visit Kenneth McAlpin in the capital cities to face off against the Pict Warlord Columba. Pictish loot awaits the victors!
      • This instance can be completed once per day, per character.
  • The following improvements have been made to the Daily quest system:
    • The [Daily Bonus] quests now grant kill-credit at Buggane’s Obelisk’s current location's area.
      • If the obelisk (or its rubble) is not present at a location, the quest will not grant kill-credit. The obelisk (or its rubble) must be at the location to earn kill-credit.
      • The [Daily Bonus] quests have been combined into 1 quest now called “[Daily] The Battle of Buggane’s Obelisk”
      • Players will still speak with General Kogis, Bruki, or Vegda and click [Bonus Daily] to get this quest, just like they did before.
      • Players that currently have the old versions of the quest which specify locations can still complete and turn in those quests (their kill credit will also now count at the Buggane’s Obelisk’s current location, regardless of the quest-specified location). Once complete, they’ll be able to pick up the new quest after their daily lockout timer has expired.
      • Players can speak with their realm’s General to see the obelisk’s current location for that day.
    • The “[Daily] The Solo Road” quest has been adjusted as follows:
      • The kill count has been reduced from 10 to 5.
      • Players must earn “Solo Kills” in order to receive credit for this quest now.
        • Simply earning deathblows while ungrouped will no longer count as a kill for this quest.
        • Solo kills are defined as follows:
          • The player earning the solo skill is ungrouped and otherwise receives no help during the kill (heals from other players, etc.).
          • The player earning the solo kill does equal to or greater than 80% of the damage to the enemy player who is killed.
          • The enemy player who is killed must be worth full realm points.

Bug Fixes
  • Aura chants and songs that increase health and armor or that increase range will no longer cause all other chants and songs on that character to end after a certain time has passed.
    • This fix should eliminate any issues with songs seemingly randomly cancelling on certain classes.
  • +Range increase aura chants and songs from items should now co-exist but not stack with other +range increase aura chants and songs from classes, with only the highest value version applying.
    • This means Aura of Magic Power’s +5% range increase from Cloudsong will now co-exist with the Minstrel’s Song of Sorcerous Reach +10% range bonus, but only the Song of Sorcerous Reach’s bonus will apply due to being a higher value.
  • The Druid, Heretic, and Skald health and armor auras now stack with the +health and armor abilities found on various items (Spear of King’s, Scepter of Meritorious, Champion Weapons, and Otherworldly Rings).
    • Aura of King’s from Spear of Kings will no longer stack or co-exist with other +health/armor abilities such as King’s Blessing, Scepter’s Boon and Otherworldly Boon. The highest value version of these items will apply. King’s Blessing, Scepter’s Boon and Otherworldly Boon will not be overwritten by Aura of Kings normally; if both are up, players will need to manually drop them to get Aura of Kings’ chant to apply.
  • The level 35 nurture spec heal song should once again appear in Bards’ spell lists after respeccing.
  • The level 46 Heavens Approbation group heal should once again appear in Clerics’ spell lists after respeccing.
  • The Brimstone Shield of Anarchy is now Crush damage instead of Cold; allowing it to be patterned with other shields.
