The preliminary patch notes for Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures has been posted to the Test Live server forums. This patch is shaping up to be a good sized one as it contains several class adjustments and a variety of world fixes. The most controversial change in the patch goes to the gem re-balancing. This will change the values of many of the gems players use to socket their gear.
