Game Update Notes: June 22, 2016

*** Items ***

- Activated items with unlimited charges that cure your target of disease, corruption, curse, or poison counters have been modified to cure the caster if the caster's target is not a valid recipient of the cure spell.
- The Shield of the Immaculate has had its cast time returned to instantaneous but now has a 1 second recast time.


*** Quests & Events ***

- The 5th Anniversary Scavenger Hunt items will now drop in the Hardcore Heritage version of Lower Guk.
- Added achievements to track progression toward access to Anguish, the Fallen Palace.
- Added an achievement for completing the Eron's Jewelry quest line.
- Phinigel players now have access to the instance of the post-Sleeper version of Sleeper's Tomb.
- Warden Hanvar's adds will not cease spawning until he is killable.
- Corrected a bug that caused 'An Epic Retelling' to award the wrong items.
- Damsel of Decay (Group and Raid) - Made several tuning adjustments to the raid and mission:
- - The bokon believers are no longer immune to fling and gravitate effects.
- - The bokon believers in the raid event have had their level reduced from 105 to 104.
- - The bokon believers are now much less likely to break free from root effects.
- - Increased the periodic damage timer of the Tendrils of Pestilence traps from 1 second to 2 seconds.
- - Modified the Withering mechanic such that plate tank classes (warriors, paladins, and shadowknights) will not be hit with Withering Physicality as their first debuff, though they are still susceptible if Withering Faith is cured.


*** NPCs ***

- Fixed a problem that could cause rares in Velketor's Labyrinth and Dragon Necropolis to drop twice their intended loot at certain points in progression.


*** Progression Servers ***

- Essence of Sunlight now drops from the appropriate NPCs when Velious unlocks.
- The Improved Invisibility spell is researchable in Velious and later. Everlasting Breath, Yaulp V, and Circle of Seasons are researchable in Luclin and later.
- It is now possible to bind affinity to the Plane of Mischief until it converts to the revamped version.
- The Great Divide instance for the Ring War is now available on Phinigel.
- Made changes to cultural tradeskills to allow most of the cultural available in Velious to be made in Velious on progression servers. Note: The troll made weapons were not available until Luclin and will continue to be locked until then.
- It should now be possible to spawn Dain Frostreaver IV by handing Chamberlain Krystorf your Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl.
- Trakanon will now drop Undead Dragongut Strings. The Undead Bard will no longer spawn.
- Bosses in the Plane of Fear 2.0 instance will now correctly get Mitigation of the Mighty III instead of Mitigation of the Mighty I.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Corrected an issue with a tradeskill achievement.
- Items that were flagged as usable in tradeskills that were not part of any active recipe have had their tradeskill flag removed. This does not impact tradeskill containers or tradeskill trophies which are flagged in this manner in order to fit inside of tradeskill component containers.
- Infected Rat Livers, Tundra Kodiak Meat, and Filthy Ape Liver now stack to 20. Filthy Ape Liver and Beautiful Tiger Hide are now flagged as tradeskill.
