Here are the patch notes for this morning's game update (from the patcher):

• Changed the "Return Home" time to 18 minutes since the last time you logged in. Previously you had to wait 6 hours to use this button. Now it's set to the same time as Origin without any use of the hastened AAs.

• Fixed an issue that was causing the tiger raptor to load textures that were not on it before.

• Corrected several script errors that had been causing the Grimling War in Grimling Forest to fail.
• Corrected a door script in Thundercrest Island that had not been functioning.
• Order of Three (Raid) - Reduced the mana drain effects of Mindshock and Bonds of Guilt.
• Order of Three (Raid and Group) - Corrected a problem with Procedural Failure and Peerless Procedural Failure that was causing daggers to be summoned when casting with those effects. The intended effect is... less pleasant.

• Bard - Adjusted values on bard overhaste songs to match the values at which they are actually capped by code.
• Ranger - Corrected a scaling error in Sand Wasp Swarm that made this component of Swarm of Sand Wasps deal less damage than its predecessor.

• Enchanter - Moved the root effect of Beguiler's Banishment Root from slot 3 to slot 12 to avoid conflicts.

• Tribute masters should now be available at the appropriate time.

• The teleportation crystal at the outpost in Jaggedpine Forest should now send you back to Surefall Glade.
• Changed the "Return Home" time to 18 minutes since the last time you logged in. Previously you had to wait 6 hours to use this button. Now it's set to the same time as Origin without any use of the hastened AAs.
• Fixed an error that was causing certain plate armor types to appear as chain. They should now correctly appear as plate.
• Fixed some display problems on armor with Velious textures.
• Heroic Dexterity will no longer incorrectly affect all damage types. It should now affect ranged damage only.
• Fixed several sources of client crashes.
• Improved our internal logging for client crashes. Players can now choose to add additional information about what they were doing when they crashed.
• Character transfers that fail will now inform you of the reason why they failed in most cases.

• Corrected a broken particle that was causing blue effects to appear over players in auras, causing performance issues.
• Corrected the appearance of the Animated Armor mercenaries.
• Corrected a problem that caused many objects to fail to load when a player changed servers.
• The restless wraith in Txevu will now properly summon the Vrex Invokers.

• The EverQuest Team
