News and Notes

Classes

• Lore-master - Players are no longer able to use Bear taunts in six or twelve player Instances.

Items

• Several new instance rewards used in crafting recipes should now correctly be able to be placed into Crafting Carry-alls: Pieces of Petrified Driftwood, Iridescent Jets, Crackling Opals, Effervescent Moonstones, and Flaming Zircons.
• Certain items, designed to catch players up to specific level cap content, will now grant reduced statistical bonuses once your character has advanced beyond the designed catch-up level. These items will remain available for use but apply a diminished statistical benefit at the level cap where experience or currency bonuses end: Shield of the Hammerhand, Earring of the Dead City, Empowering Earring of the High Elves, Focusing Earring of the High Elves, Weightless Earring of the High Elves, Fateful Gundabad Earring, Flowing Silver Stone, Flowing Silver Stone of the Tortoise, and Fleet Merchant's Earring.
• The Dagorlad Wastes Frame granting item received from the Legendary Items Reward Track Season 9 has been corrected so that it binds to account.

Quests and Adventure Areas
