General Zone Experience Modifier Changes Most cities now reward normal experience for those who don't mind ruining someone else's lands to level. Most open world zones have had their ZEM increased and many dungeons have been slightly decreased to provide more viable leveling paths. Kedge has retained its original modifier for those willing to brave the depths. Boosted the ZEM on instanced versions of Hate, Fear and Sky to match that of the open world version. Removed all Continent and Primary Class channels from autojoin. World & Dungeons Najena has received a touch-up! Adventurers level 15-30 exploring the zone can expect to see smoother NPC level progression, new named, new drops, loot improvements, and a striking lack of placeholders for named mobs. On a completely unrelated note, I could swear my Journeyman's Boots are 1% faster... The hastily built barricades in New Sebilis have started to rattle...

Call of Earth, the previous level 50 spell for Rangers, has been pushed down to level 48. Adjusted debuff stats on Suffocating Sphere so that Shallow Breath won't overwrite it. Deity specific spells can now be scribed without having the proper deity, however you cannot cast or memorize that spell unless you are actively the correct deity.

Sirran will no longer spawn when the boss of an island in Plane of Sky is killed. Keeper of Souls is now a static spawn. Sister of the Spire is now a static spawn.

Zones that had a difficulty threshold of 10 now have a threshold of 12. Increased difficulty instance spindown time.

UI The Bandolier has been re-enabled. Please Note! Due to the changes below, all existing Bandoliers and Loadout Equipment Sets have been erased. They will need to be re-saved before working again. Loadout Equipment Sets and Bandolier are now much more specific about the items they will save and load. They will now grab the exact item that they were saved with, even if you have duplicates. This also includes Augmentation/Exaltations; the exact Exaltation that was in an item when a Loadout was saved (swapped away from) will return to that item upon swapping back. This will also work if an item was upgraded or merged, unless both items being merged together were actively being used in the same saved Loadout. Loadout Equipment Sets and Bandolier can now load from the Equipment Keyring and Augmentation Keyring. Loadout Equipment Sets and Bandolier will now use the following priority order when storing unequipped Items or Augmentations: The Item or Augmentation will attempt to be placed in the Equipment or Augmentation Keyring, respectively, until it reaches the cap. The Item or Augmentation will then attempt to be placed in the inventory/bags. If both spots above no longer have room, the Item or Augmentation will be placed in their respective Keyring, overcapping that Keyring. Loadout Swapping will not be allowed while a Keyring is overcapped. Mount Key Ring has been Disabled. Illusion Key Ring has been Disabled. Familiar Key Ring has been Disabled. Teleportation Key Ring has been Disabled. Note: These disabled key rings will still show in UI currently. Augmentation Key Ring has been enabled with 50 slots. Activated Items Key Ring has been enabled with 10 slots. Equipment Items Key Ring has been enabled with 50 slots. Rituals have been implemented. It is available from the Actions window (Default: L). Rituals will allow you to cast most portal-type spells that you have scribed in your spell book, bypassing Class and Level requirements as long as you have at least one class that meets the level requirements of the spell, even if that class is not currently being used in your Loadout. For example, as a Level 12 Warrior/Monk/Rogue, I could use a Ritual to cast West Commons Gate, a level 21 Wizard Spell, if I had previously leveled a Wizard to level 21 or higher. When using Rituals, you must be in a resting state (out of combat). The cast time for all Rituals is 20 seconds, and you will lose all Mana and Endurance when it completes casting. Added Level Filtering to the Spell Search in Actions Window. Fixed an issue where combat skill timers would desync visually. Auto-merging is now supported for the Equipment Keyring. Items in the Item Overflow will no longer disappear when reloading UI or swapping loadouts. Added Y pitch offset slider for the 3rd person camera, allowing you to aim the camera higher up. Added "TYPE" column to lockout information on raid request window. Added an auto attack range auto-switch option that will switch between range and melee attacks based on in or out of melee range. Tutorial 'Item Merging' window duplicate text removed. Monks have been added as a valid class on the Soldier's Brooch of the Stealthy. The map source directory can now be selected from the right-click context menu for Compact Maps. Group window auto resizing should work under any circumstance now. Minimized the sell value on floating text. Merged raid invite and group invite into a singular invite on player name context menu in chat windows. Items hidden in merchant lists by UI will no longer popup tooltips. Shadow Vortex & Scream of Pain are now in the same spell dropdown category. Updated player race illusion descriptions to be more accurate. All Zephyr and Translocate spell scrolls will now properly stack to 20. Windows with size snapping such as cast bar will now load properly sized. Instances Enabled Personal Instances from the Difficulty UI (/pick) — these are temporarily disabled for zones that are also Raid zones. (The Hole, Kedge, Nagafen's Lair, Permafrost, Plane of Hate, Plane of Fear and Plane of Sky) Raid instances for Master Yael (The Hole) are now available through voidlings in Paineel. 'Trash' giants in Naggy's chamber in solo raid instances removed. Magus Rokyl's pathing removed in Naggy Solo Raid instance. Fixed an issue where difficulty normal 0 was appended to the Personal lockout on the dynamic zone lockout list. Instances should now follow a "per NPC" loot lockout for player and group members.
