Patch Notes June 27, 2012
*** Highlights ***
- Modified how we handle memory management to help reduce our memory footprint. This affects all of the models and animations for everything in the game. This will also help with current systems that are currently crashing due to out of memory issues.
- Changed the AA experience boost for low AA counts from 2500 to 4000 AA. The bonus now tapers linearly from 1000% to normal experience over this new range. Progression servers will not get this bonus until Veil of Alaris is unlocked.
- Fixed a bug that could cause some fast bows to lose speed when at maximum haste and using a haste quiver.
*** Items ***
- Most beds now offer the ability for you to take a nap on them when placed in real estate zones.
- The Ethereal Dreamweave Satchel and Dreamweave Satchel are no longer tradable on Firiona Vie.
- Tweaked the archery minimum delay regarding quivers.
- Prescient Fleeting Quiver is once again 90% weight reduction.
*** Tradeskills ***
- Improved the healing focus on all Veiled Seals of the Healer.
- Added the tradeskill useable flag to a large number of items, such as non-placeable tradeskill containers, items that modify your skill levels, and tradeskill tools.
*** Quests & Events ***
- Xanuusus should be more responsive to multiple rangers attempting to demonstrate an act of faith as part of their epic 1.5 pre-task.
- Bristlebane has been shuffling his Deck of Spontaneous Generation and has thrown in a few new tricks. (Five previously unobtainable items that resulted from combinations of mischief cards can now be created.)
- A previously unobtainable item that Einhorst McMannus has been after for many years can now be found.
- The shadows in Innothule Swamp have come alive once again. Ssynthi in Castle Mistmoore might be interested in this.

- Corrected an outstanding issue with the appearance of mountain giants in Kunark and Basilisks in Jaggedpine Forest.

*** AA ***
- Changed the AA experience boost for low AA counts from 2500 to 4000 AA. The bonus now tapers linearly from 1000% to normal experience over this new range. Progression servers will not get this bonus until Veil of Alaris is unlocked.
*** Achievements ***
- Corrected an issue that prevented the "Hero of Bloody Kithicor" achievement from being completed.
- Added a list of tasks to the Alaran Language Master achievement that shows the language points for completion of various task groups. You may need to close and re-open your Achievements window after completing a task to force an update.
*** Progression Servers ***

- Improved messaging when a vote to unlock an expansion wins, loses, or ties.
- Corrected several spells that were not available on the updated Plane of Knowledge vendors at the appropriate time.

*** Miscellaneous ***

*** UI ***
