Book 12 Patch 1 - Patch Note

Auction House

* Rejoice! We returned auction string searching functionality.


Classes/Skills

* Ranged auto-attacks have had their miss rates increased when on the move.
* Quest items will no longer drop while in a raid unless the quest items are used for a raid quest.
* The range for melee conjunction skills has been increased to 2.5 meters to match the standard distance for all other melee attacks.
* Guardian Skill Updates:
o Movement effects have been prioritized to prevent lesser effects from overwriting more powerful effects.
o “Thrill of Danger” has been fixed to drain power from monsters again instead of fellows (unfortunately it will also break mez again).
o “Overpower” will no longer toggle off when a Guardian is silenced.
o The cooldown for “Engage” will no longer improperly reduce the Challenge cooldown improving trait “Grim Challenge.”


Crafting

* Re-added the missing Tailoring, Weaponsmith, and Woodworker crafting recipes to treasure tables. These recipes should once again be available via treasure drops.


Items

* Crafted Shields will now properly sheath on the player’s back during ranged attacks, and will properly display the visual FX during combat.
* Ashûrz's Adornment has been converted back to a necklace as it was originally introduced into the game as. If the item is currently slotted into an earring slot it will remain there until unequipped.
* The sixth bonus on the Hunter's “Armour of the Aurochs” has been switched back to “Penetrating Shot.”
* The Captain's Rift gear now grants the wearer the shadow mitigation bonus when the improved trait is slotted.
* Dwarf medium short sleeve armor appearances are now using the correct textures and dyemaps. Dyemaps of dwarf medium upper and lower body textures have been adjusted.
* The value of the Bree-horse and Bree-pony has been fixed. They will now be sold for a few copper, instead of several silver.


World

* Certain Elites managed to sneak into the Angmar landscape spawns, but they are now appropriately Normals.
* Players should see fewer instances of monsters entering anti-exploit mode.


User Interface

* Pressing Delete in the crafting panel's search box will now refresh the list just like any other key.
* Fixed an issue with the spar timer where it would sometimes appear to stop while sparring.
* Fixed a bug in the dressing room where body parts could vanish.
* If you try on an item in the dressing room it will now be displayed even if that slot has been toggled off on the character journal.


Graphics/Animation/FX

* Mount animations have been adjusted to reduce the jarring nature of run turns using mouse-look.
* Avatars will no longer play their hit animations when hit while riding a mount.
* Idle emotes will now activate less often. No more itching!
