Highlights
Professions
Workshop and Quest Flow
- Artisans now apply to the workshop in less predictable time ranges.
- Lessons Learned: The tea delivery is no longer quite as difficult to reach for smaller characters.
- Running a Workshop: An issue has been resolved where this quest could not be completed under certain circumstances, due to the step "Take Your Item from the Delivery Box" not advancing.
- The appearances of several artisans have received minor touch-ups. Sadly, the Makeover profession is only for NPCs at this time.
- No, this does not mean a Makeover profession is actually in the works.
Crafting and Crafted Items
- Alchemy: Flask of Potency, Major Flask of Potency, and Superior Flask of Potency are once again properly available to craft.
- Alchemy: Dye packs for Control Wizard, Devoted Cleric, Great Weapon Fighter, Guardian Fighter, Hunter Ranger, Scourge Warlock, and Trickster Rogue are once again properly available to craft.
- Alchemy: Propolis Varnish is now properly available to craft.
- Cotton Petasos now hide characters' hair, which resolves clipping issues.
- Crafted capes and mantles now properly change the character's appearance when equipped.
- Forgehammer of Gond: The required item level and equip level were listed incorrectly. During the fix, we changed the required profession level to equip the hammer, but the stats have not changed.
- The items "Electrum Raid Necklace" and "Electrum Raid Necklace +1" have had their stats adjusted. Recovery on these items has been replaced with critical strike.
- Various profession tasks now properly repeat when set to repeat.
Exchange
- Artisan recruitment items granted by legacy slot unlocks no longer incorrectly state in their tooltip text that Alchemists will apply for non-Alchemy professions. (The functionality is still the same.)
Masterwork Quests
- Alchemical Extravagance: This quest now refers to Aqua Regia instead of Concentrated Aqua Regia. After all the construction nearby, it had lost its concentration.
- Masterwork Blacksmithing recipe books are no longer incorrectly labeled Weaponsmithing recipe books.
User Interface
- Collections now state profession level 70 instead of 25 for masterwork items.
- The "Current Order" and "Current Gathering Tasks" windows now allow previewing of an active task's current Focus and Proficiency.
- The Order button is now disabled if the player tries to input 0 orders.
