Here’s a sneak peek at Tueday morning’s Game Update notes:

*** Items ***

- Fixed the missing tribute on drakkin cultural armor.
- Removed the tradeskill flag from the armor templates and cultural drops that are not currently being used.
- Increased the stacking ability of the armor template drops.
- Several tradable tradeskill augments are now attunable.
- Several Secrets of Faydwer quest clickies had reuse delays that locked out other effects. This has been fixed.
- Fixed an issue with spell research items not dropping in game.
- Fixed the stacking on the new cut gems for jewelry making that were not stacking at all.
- Made the new enchant spells and abilities tradable.


*** Quests & Events ***

- Bristlebum will now collect the items he asks for in the task 'I Can Fly'.
- The Moondancer Pendant used in the quest 'the departed' no longer has a cast time. It will also no longer trigger other item click timers.
- The attackers in the Hollowshade Moor War will no longer get lost on the way to their target.


*** Spells ***

- Casting an LoN familiar while targeting something will no longer fail and display "Your target does not meet the spell requirements."
- Standardized the cast time, recast time, duration, and spell slot usage of pet haste spells.


*** NPC ***

- The brother and sister Eric Rasumus and Sansus Rasumus have set up shop in Plane of Knowledge and sell spell research equipment.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Alchemy Merchants that carry some of the other vials now carry the new alchemy vials.
- Pottery Merchants that carried the other Delicate Throwing Things books now carry another book for throwing bottles.
- The Sublime Books will now be able to be made into patterns. Sorry for the error that prevented them from working properly.
- The Salil's Writ Page 90 can now be created in a spell research kit.
- The spell research recipes for Mesmerization, Identify, Teleport have been modified to more properly match the systematic spell research system.


*** Abilities ***

- Moved Harm Touch and Lay on Hands to a new timer that shouldn't conflict with any other abilities.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Fixed a graphics issue that caused armor to change to cloth when zoning.

On another note the Master Jewlers Test has been changed. I was half way through it as I decided with the new JC it was worth getting even with 300 JC, and then could not finish it.

Velium Practice Earring and Issued Mesh Leggings have been added to replace the paladium items

Thanks Fufinski.

Wish I had a clue as to where to start with making the Issued mesh leggings. Bit of a strange thing for JC master.

If you got that note from EQLive forum, it is probably from me. I found the patch info in the launchpad but didn't see them in the game before server screen.

that was yet another mistake by the Ogre that QA did not catch in time to prevent it from being patched in That quest is unfortunately still undoable.

[Gaell Stormracer]

I'm fairly sure that's a duff item ID - "Issued" armour used to be given to people that had their corpses lost due to server problems a long time ago.

This line alone so made my day. =)

Heh /agree Gorse!

As a coder myself, I know how easy it is to accidentally slip in a wrong number in a piece of code. That's why we have QA to catch out those little errors. Trouble in this case was the QA had not spent enough time doing JC skill ups, and could not tell the difference between a loaned pair of pants and a piece of shiny jewelry .

I am sure there will be other important bugs out there that will necessitate a patch soon enough. Meanwhile I will keep stockpiling gems and Dwerium bars to level up my trophy.

Oh I got a bug on it from QA... later in the day it went live... We were jsut giving them more changes than they could keep up with and they were behind, and it was too late :/

I put in the RECIPE number not the ITEM number. Oops.
