Player versus Player

  • Fixed a bug that caused Forged Weapons of Conquest to not respect retroactive Conquest gains in certain cases.

    • Developers’ notes: Thanks to player reports, we were able to identify an issue with retroactive progress tracking that did not occur during our initial testing. Affected players will simply need to pay a visit to Dornogal and possibly log out and back into the game to update your achievement criteria progress and, if eligible, receive the achievement.
  • Rogue
    • Subtlety
      • Fixed an issue that caused the Subtlety Rogue class set bonus to not be decreased in PvP Combat.

Quests

  • Taters should be easier to find now for “Tater Trawl”.
