• Dyn`leth's Spy Glass will power up faster than before.

• Akihiro in Stillmoon now drops items when killed.
• Keikolin`s Mindhaze Sleeves now have a chromatic damage focus effect instead of a magic damage focus effect.
• Goru's Girdle of the Deceased now has Improved Parry IV instead of Improved Parry III.
• Increased the damage on Fleshmelter, Lethar's Maul.
• Ice-Striated Iron Orb should now function properly.

*** Quests

• Several of the quests in Ashengate will no longer be blocked by rare spawns.
• Large events in Frostcrypt and Ashengate now yield more tier III spell runes.
• Lorekeeper Fenegar will no longer be giving people diseased fish as a bonus reward for finding lost ancient documents for him. He realized that adventurers don't really like diseased fish as much as he thought they would. This was an extra reward given out in error. The real reward will still be given out.

• An additional artifact has been found in Direwind that Librarian Hemfar may be interested in.
• A vendor named The Quiet Wanderer has moved into Sunderock Springs. He offers spells and abilities of the calming persuasion, including several which were not previously available: Song: Whispersong of Veshma, Spell: Drifting Fog, Spell: Dulcify, Spell: Nature's Placidity, Spell: Quiet Mind, and Tome of Phantom Silhouette.

• Based on feedback from the Druid community, Wildskin and Blessing of the Wild have been replaced on a one-for-one basis with Blistering Sunray and Sunscorch. The old spells will be replaced with the new ones.
• Based on feedback from the Cleric community, Rectitude and Cure Corruption have been replaced with Blessing of Purpose and Ward of the Dauntless. Rectitude was swapped on a one-for-one basis with Blessing of Purpose. However, because Cure Corruption is used by multiple classes the spell could not be swapped directly with Ward of the Dauntless, so clerics can simply no longer use the Cure Corruption spell. Turning in a Rank III spell rune while you have Cure Corruption scribed will result in a copy of Ward of the Dauntless Rank III and a return of the spell rune. Aside from that, Cure Corruption can be deleted from the spell book.
• The number of "procs" that Steeltrap Jaws can fire before fading have been doubled.
• Skin to Vines will now work on a wider variety of NPC targets.

• The ability to dye armor has been added to the Drakkin race.

• The EverQuest Team
