This hotfix includes nameplates!

RIFT 1.8 Hotfix #4 - 5/2/12 Patch Notes

Namplates!

• We’ve been working behind the scenes on a highly requested UI feature – Nameplates allow you to easily see the status of those around you while keeping your eyes on the fight!
• By default, nameplates will replace the old health bars and appear above yours and your target’s heads while in combat.
• We have a wide variety of settings, so customize to your heart’s content by going to Settings -> Interface -> Nameplates. You can swap between your customized settings and the default with Shift+V.
• The options also allow you to turn the system off entirely, if desired.
• Name colors can be customized in the Name Colors tab.

World Event

• Increased the drop rate for Power Cells while on the quest Parcels through the Cracks.

Crafting/Items

• The fishing artifact 'Trophy Stillmoor Devil' is now fishable in Stillmoor!
• The description of all fish has been updated with the water depth and locations where they can be found.
• Abandoning the 300 Skill Crafting Daily Quest will no longer remove the crafted items from your bags. However, you cannot have more than 4 of these items at any one time.
• Mathosian Longbow daily quest recipe now correctly requires a Workbench instead of the Forge.
• All Planar Attunement Tier 2 item enchants now require a lvl 50 item. Several runes now require items to be level 50 when applied.

Infernal Dawn

Maklamos the Scryer:

• Removed the cast time from an interruptible ability used by the three Juggernaut golems – if interrupted, it would cause them to become active with a higher health value than intended.

•  Reduced agro range and moved his encounter wall up the hallway a bit.

• Iron Wrath can no longer be avoided by moving further than 30m away.

• Dreaded Snipers will now respawn appropriately.

• Warforged Firestorms are once again susceptible to mesmerize effects.
