• The PVP flag can now be disabled on non-PVP servers. See below for more details.
• Increased the experience characters gain for killing NPCs between levels 109 and 125. See below for more details.

Items

• Added a cast time and recast time to Midnight Mallet and Ivandyr's Hoop.
• Fixed an issue where equipment sets would not load augments correctly if augments were loaded before a piece of armor. This bug will occur one more time after the next server restart.
• The Argent Clockwork Boar Saddle is no longer Free Storage. This mount can now also be sold back to Miacallie Herlsas in Tides of Time.

• The heroic intelligence stat on the Terracotta Torc has been adjusted to bring it in line with original intentions.
• Fixed an issue that allowed more than one augment of the same lore-equipped group to be equipped.
• Aspect of the Brood is now flagged as Heirloom.
• Metamorph: Menacing Samhain and Metamorph: Putrid Rotdog are now tagged Heirloom. Additionally, the appearance of the Putrid Rotdog should work much more reliably.

Quests & Events

• Priest of Discord will now allow players to enable and disable PVP on non-PVP (Zek) servers through dialogue and quest turn-in. Players who wish to enable PVP will need to turn in a Tome of Discord, while players who wish to disable PVP will need to turn in a Note of Order.
• The Earring of Rallos Zek quest line will now give all appropriate recipes, regardless of class, at each step.
• Oasis of the Jungle: Barrels will no longer defend themselves.
• Oasis of the Jungle: Altered the boss activation so that the task should always be completable even if steps are completed out of order.
• Broken Key of Swamps: Eggs killed by pets should now count towards progress.
• Oasis of Forests: This task should now execute properly if two skeleton pairs are the random choice for pre-boss NPCs.
• Oasis of Forests: Altered the damage and duration of Howl of the Undying.

Spells

• The Veil of Alaris teleports can be purchased from Grelulden if that character has completed the task The First Pilgrimage.

AA

• Required levels for enchanting Honed Reflective Emberquartz and Honed Reflective Luclinite have been adjusted

Progression Servers

• Corrected an issue where level locked progression servers were not using the adjusted minimum level of a shared task when checking if a persona swap should be allowed.
• Corrected an issue where trophies did not have their level requirement reduced by 10 on level locked progression servers.
• Corrected a bad check that was causing AA scrolls to be consumed when not granting the AA on level locked progression servers.
• Vaniki: Added challenge achievements for Night of Shadows, Laurion's Song, and The Outer Brood.

Miscellaneous

• The level-based experience modifier will no longer apply to experience earned from rewards and some types of quests.
• Increased the experience characters gain for killing NPCs between levels 109 and 125, inclusive. This change is based on the player's level, not the NPC's or the expansion. This change does not affect experience gained through other types of experience such as quests or rewards.
• You can no longer swap personas while holding items on your cursor. Additionally, items that overflow to your cursor are not destroyed during a persona swap.
• The /assist main/group/raid commands should now prioritize those roles over characters with names beginning with those words.
• Made speculative changes and improvements to pathing to try to prevent NPCs from pathing slightly under the world.
• Added several new loading screen tips.
• Updated the various chat messages when using /beta to be more accurate and to use the System Messages chat filter.
• Players may now persona swap in the Tides of Time base zone.

UI

• Added a Max Active Quests label to the Quests tab of the Overseer window.
• Switching between a fullscreen EQ window and other app windows, using the ALT+TAB shortcut, should work as expected on the primary display monitor.
