Here is the list of improvemetns released with today's update: Gameplay Experience gain for characters level 51 and higher has been improved. Experience can be gained from targets up to 6 levels below your level (had previously been 4). The experience penalty on sub-50 zones has been removed, opening up more zones as viable options for leveling. The most noticeable improvement will be seen on targets that con blue and high green (1 to 3 levels lower than your character). There is still a steep drop-off for targets that are 4 or more levels below your character, though that XP has been improved as well. The riftway to Shores of Darkness is no longer restricted to adventurers; level 50 crafters and diplomats can now use it. Also, boats can now sail in and around the area. The last character you played should now be the default choice at character select. (Note that this will take effect after you log out the first time, then back in, following this update.) Additional performance improvements have been made on the client and server, particularly in areas where NPCs are patrolling or playing scripted actions. Marketplace If you purchase a Marketplace item when your inventory is full, you will be notified that you can go to a claimable tab in the Marketplace window to retrieve it. Many more Marketplace items are now soulbound so they will no longer be left on tombstones after death. Check out the latest batch of new items available for purchase: Petamorph Pumpkin Man - Changes your shaman, necromancer, or ranger epic pet to look like a pumpkin man. Vanity Pet: Maraka - Summons the wolf Maraka to be your companion. Visage of a Gremlin - Makes your character look like a nasty gremlin. Vanity Pet: Nimela - Calls Nimela the fox to your side. Items and Abilities Items that have been unlocked should now properly display that information when on your tombstone. Potion of Hastened Steps should now only refer to 20% runspeed instead of both 20% and 10%. Wings of Hayatet will now cast Hayatet's Levitation, a buff that can be clicked off in order to stop levitating while retaining the form. Quests You should now correctly receive bark when on the quest "Royal Servitude". On the Isle of Dawn, Veteran Sixfish will once again introduce new players to the "Life of a Diplomat" and "Life of a Crafter". Bahdor Adesh's location should now be correctly indicated on your map. There should no longer be race requirements for the diplomacy quests "Doubleback", "Not a Thief, Just a Killer", and "Investigating Yourself". Raids It now takes considerably less effort to attract the attention of Arachnidon.
