Game Update Patch Notes
September 15, 2021
_____________________
*** Highlights ***
- Agents of Change are now available for All Access members on all servers.
*** Quests & Events ***
- Bloogy Shellcracker will no longer accept Water Dragon Meat. However, his brother, Roogy Shellcracker, will be able to help you with that.
- NPCs that have an active loot lock will now only accept trades from players who belong to the credited party.
- Cikdew has found her voice and will be looking for assistance during Nights of the Dead.
- Arlien Browch has been seen hauling a large shipment of pumpkins. She should reach the Commonlands Tunnel just in time for Nights of the Dead.
- The mission Gorowyn: Balance of Power now correctly references Gorowyn as the target zone in the Quest Journal, rather than Chardok.
*** Spells ***
- Fixed an issue where Steadfast Servants would refuse to cast Servant's Haste on players who have unlocked any ranks of the Item: Hidden Power / Ancestral Memories AA ability line.
- Dark Rites charges are no longer consumed when memorizing spells.
- Updated the confirmation popup box for translocation spells to not disappear if you enter combat.
- - Updated the confirmation popup box for translocation spells to last for 2 minutes.
- - Updated translocation spells to (once again) be cast by casters if they are in combat and land on targets that may be in combat.
- Corrected an issue where the Gambit line of Wizard spells could cause the Wizard to damage themselves with an offensive proc.
*** AA ***
- Corrected an issue with the AA ability, Companion's Discipline, that granted the ability to use the /pet qswarm command at the wrong rank.

*** Overseer ***
- Made a speculative fix to missing Overseer quests.
*** Progression Servers ***
- Fixed an issue with the loot on some prominent Velious raid targets that prevented proper randomization on Mischief and Thornblade.
- Reduced the respawn time of Gloradin Coldheart by some amount.
*** Miscellaneous ***
