Weekly Development Activities

• There are new tooltips for ability damage that
  give you information about how to recover from that type of damage. For
  example, "Your Strength has been damaged. Resting at a shrine will
  allow you to recover partially. To recover fully, stay at an inn or
  tavern."
• When blinded, floatynames will once again appear over
  friendly and neutral people. You will still not be able to see the
  names of hostile people.
• NEW - Players who have their name
  changed should not have to log out and back in for their friends list
  to work properly.

UI Improvements

• NEW - We have added an "invite to guild"
  button and an "add friend" button to the focus orb.
• The map of the Sands of Menechtarun has been revised for greater
  accuracy.
• The Resist Disease enhancement has the proper octagonal (passive)
  icon instead of a square one.
• The Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration feats have
  new icons.
• NEW - Fixed the blank space in shield
  examination.

Monsters

• Harga Fire Dancer and Yurrugh the Swift will now drop treasure
  from their correct treasure tables.
• The
  description for the poison Hulrak Slime Mold now lists all three
  abilities that may be damaged: Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma.

Spells

• Spell crits were not working properly on some AOE
  spells; now they will properly register the crit when casting and then
  apply the extra damage to all targets for the full duration of the
  spell.
• Disintegrate, Harm, Heal, and Otiluke's Freezing Sphere now
  penetrate spell resistance the same way other damage spells do.
• The
  duration of both Aid and Protection from Energy now increase at levels
  11 and 12. Please note: their effects are still capped at level 10. In
  addition, the duration of Resist Energy now increases at level 12,
  although the effect is still capped at level 11.
• Barkskin was
  erroneously giving a higher natural AC bonus than intended. We have
  therefore adjusted it to consistent with p&p rules (2 ac, +1 for
  every 3 levels past third, to a maximum of +5 at 12th level).
• The
  Wall of Fire spell will now burn away webs and obscuring mists and can
  set burnable things (like crates and barrels) on fire.
• The
  Waves of Fatigue spell is now properly considered a fatigue effect (it
  can now be removed by effects that remove fatigue). Therefore,
  creatures (such as warforged) that are immune to fatigue are also
  immune to the spell.
• NEW - Disease
  effects, such as Filth Fever, now use their own disease icons rather
  than poison icons (this does NOT affect Mummy Rot, which has its own
  icon).
• NEW - Glyph of Warding and
  Glyph of Warding, Greater were inadvertently doing too much damage.
  Their damage has been reduced to what is stated in the spell
  description.
• NEW - The bard's Song of Freedom now has
  the correct icon.

Skills, Feats, & Abilities

• NEW - The Quick Draw feat's description
  has been updated to reflect the changes made to the feat in The Demon
  Sands Module.
• NEW - Manyshot's description has been
  updated to properly include the scaling number of arrows rather than
  claiming it's always 2.
• NEW - Fixed instances where warforged
  immunities were still being called resistances.

Items

• Sale on Bless potions! 80% off!
• "of Backstabbing" weapons now do even more additional
  damage on any attack that would qualify as a Sneak Attack.
• Items that cast the various damage amplification spells X/rest
  now have a much quicker activation time.
• Mithral Armor now weighs 1/2 of the normal steel armor weight.
  This change will be retroactive.
• Newly
  found Filtration Modules will now have Acid Resistance instead of the
  previous +4 bonus to saves versus Poison. Filtration Modules already in
  existence will not be affected by this change.
• The effects on
  Tyrzza's Bane, a weapon found in the Invasion dungeon, have been
  modified so that the weapon will properly negate the Damage Reduction
  of Tyrzza. This is not a retroactive fix.
• NEW - The Circlet of Persuasion and
  Minor Circlet of Blasting have been updated to use new Circlet art.
• NEW
  - The Armor and Shield examination panels now show the arcane spell
  failure percentage for that item. Please be aware that bards do not
  suffer arcane spell failure if they are wearing light armor and casting
  bard spells. To find out what your total current spell failure chance
  is, please refer to the tooltip of the spell that you will be casting.

Quests

• When you gain 1750 favor you will now be told to
  talk to Nyx to get your reward, rather than the current,
  less-informative message.
• The Waterworks
  
  • Pets and monsters will no longer refuse to follow you across
    the bridge before the entrance to Clan Gnashtooth Lair.

Under Development

These items are currently in development and are scheduled for some
time after the next update (either LOTD part 2 or Module 4).



General

• The elven female avatar now has the braided hairstyle available.

Monsters

• The Hobgoblins have finally gotten their
  long-delayed and much-needed shipments of bows. Now, wherever
  hobgoblins live, there is a chance they will have some archers amongst
  their ranks.
