Release Notes

General

• BULLROARER ONLY: Hobbit Presents countdown timers will now display the correct time until the next free present, even if your local timezone differs from the server's timezone.
• Fixed a bug that could cause packaged items to sometimes fail to automatically stack with other identical items.
• /bug will now toggle the Help screen - bringing it up if it is closed and closing it if it is open. From the Help screen there is a button which players can use to open a bug.

Classes

Hunter

• Slightly increased the power cost of the Hunter mounted skill "Spread of Arrows" to account for a second attack being added

Lore-master

• The Lore-master Mounted Combat pet will now behave similarly to its un-mounted counterparts. On critical hit, the pet will apply a bleed, and will have a chance to slow when attacking enemies from behind. Each of its attacks also have a chance to proc the 'Flanked!' effect, which will now cause Enduring Embers to do additional damage, and Metal and Mettle to provide a power heal.

• Increased the damage of Mounted Strike, Swift Cut and Horn Blast for Mounted Combat Champions
• Lowering the cooldown of the Coax skill for Mounted Combat

• Increasing damage of Bond and Metal and Mettle and lowering power cost of Enduring Embers for Mounted Combat Loremasters
• Making several changes to base mount stats to help differentiate Light, Medium, Heavy (no nerfs)
• Increasing damage of Debate in all disciplines for mounted combat Loremasters

Warbands

• Amongst their standard rewards, Warband Reward boxes should now also provide players with a chance to obtain new warsteed cosmetics and Warband Barter Tokens, which will be used to purchase the legendary pocket upgrades. Whereas the cosmetics will be a very rare drop from each reward box, the barter tokens will drop at a rate relative to the difficulty of the warband.

Legendary Items

• Some Legendary Item legacies were missing their description in their tooltip between the tier and the name. Those legacies also failed to show any text in the ""Are you sure you want to permanently replace"" question asked when using the legacy replacement scrolls. This has been fixed.

Auction House

• Rune-keeper Legendary Item Satchels will now appear under the 'Legendary Items' search instead of 'Class Items'. Current listings of these items will no longer be visible and need to be cancelled and relisted.

Items

• The Hytbold sets should now be the same color across a set when obtained. Players may continue to dye these appearances as they see fit.
