'''Update 2, Echoes of The Dead, Patch 1, Official April 15, 20'''


=Update 2, Patch 1 Release Notes=

==Misc==
*An issue causing Character rollbacks under specific circumstances, primarily in the Ettenmoors, has been addressed. Thanks to everyone who provided data and helped track down the issue.
*Players who logged out of the game prior to Update 2 launch in an area affected by gloom-inspired dread had a permanent dread effect as a result. All affected players should now see their dread gradually clear after login.


==Classes==

===Burglar===
*Some Burglar skills were not functioning correctly after Update 2. This has been addressed. This fix also corrects the issue with Hide in Plain Sight canceling stealth mode.

===Champion===
*The Champion Trait Improved Flurry will once again increase Flurry's attack speed modifier to 20% in addition to increasing its duration.
*Corrected the Tooltip for Flurry of blows. It will now display the correct information. 

==Ettenmoors==
*Minstrel's "Song of Soothing" healing debuff should now properly reduce incoming healing.

==Raids, Instances, & Skirmishes==

'''Ost Dunhoth:'''
*The gate to the disease boss has been reworked so you cannot lock yourself out.
*Challenge Chests for Ivar, Gortheron, and the Poison boss will now correctly spawn regardless of how many times the instances are reset.

'''Siege of Gondamon:'''
*The boss will always enter the fight now. 

'''Fall of Moria:'''
*Durin's Bane will properly engage and advance the instance.

==Items==
*Lesser Ward of the West armour now has greater armour values.
Crafting
*New quests have been added that will only be visible to people who are in a broken state with advancing their crafting (expert to artisan/superior facility access). This quest is a copy of the previous quests and will advance stuck players through crafting.

==Deeds==
*The Oppressors of Stoneheight deed should now complete when killing Dale Truitt regardless of difficulty settings.

==Tasks==
*Addressed an issue with Tasks that would cause players to be stuck at 0/0 if they used a task reset item from the LOTRO Store before ever having completed a task.

==Legendary Items==
*You should now be able to properly use shards for Deconstruction, Identification, or Reforging Legendary Items regardless of how much coin you have.

==UI==
*Renamed the sort name description on the Instance Join panel from "Alphabetical" to "Min Level" which better describes what that sort actually does.

==Mounts & travel==
*Stable-masters will now function properly when you are within a dynamic layer.

==LOTRO Store==
*The LOTRO Store has been updated so the additional return home skills will be MUCH easier to find and purchase.
*VIPs should now be able to purchase the new additional wardrobe slots from the LOTRO Store.
