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.
